Download wait times.

If you've ever tried to find a file on the internet, you've probably run into sites like MegaUpload or Rapidshare. These sites are basically just file hosting sites that feel like they don't make enough money.  With the most advertisements per page that I have ever seen, these sites make me cringe just opening them, let alone downloading a file.  But not only do they make money with ads, they also charge for "premium" downloads.  They not only throttle speeds to free users, but make them wait sometimes up to 270 seconds to download what is usually a file that is only 25MB.  But sadly, these sites are usually the only option....

Auto-Resolution choosing video players.

So we've finally entered an era where most networks post their shows online to watch.  Great right?  I mean, you still have to watch ads, but we'll never get away from that.  So in this era, most people I know have broadband, and if they don't, they don't watch TV shows online.  So why then do the networks feel like they need to have auto-resolution choosing video players?  I feel they do a terrible job of choosing the right resolution.  Example:  I was catching up on this season's NCIS LA on cbs.com.  Their video player has the ability to show HD, but only when it chooses to.  Whenever I go to full screen, it goes to a higher resolution, but it would never go to HD.  A little background info: my school has 95 m/bits per second+ speeds.  And it's definitely not that my computer can't handle it.  And you know what, even if I do have to pause and let it buffer every once and a while, I'd still rather do that and be able to watch it in HD.  On a side note, ABC is the best with making all their shows available online, but their video player lacks volume control...

Stupid/ridiculous abreviations.

I have been enlightened to a few new texting/Internet abbreviations over the past month or so.  Some that I find so pointless, so stupid, so dumb that I felt they deserved a post.  I will list them below:

• SMH, smh, smdh - Apparently stands for "Shaking my (damn) head".
• Ex. "Some people on this page just get on my nerves! SMH"- Facebook

In my opinion, this is the worst of them all.  Why can't someone use words to show their disgust?  I also think of something vulgar when I see this.

• HMU, Hmu - "Hit me up".
• Ex. "I'm not going to be shy anymore . What's up names jdub see me around I'm a chill ass Guy to talk to . Hmu sometime people" - Facebook

Hit me up is a phrase that has already been shortened.  HMU looks like a college to me.

Definitely my favorite text lingo.

These examples are from the WKU Class of 2015 Facebook group.  I literally cannot understand half of the things people post on that page.  Sort of like how I couldn't understand a word some ladies at Wal*Mart were saying to each other.
