Spam Comments What's The Point?

Are the people behind the Spam Blog Comments that are just full of random words strung together that make no sense and full of random links stupid? Do they actually think that Blog Authors are actually going to approve these useless Comments that are

A) Don't make any sense and are full of Links.
B) Mostly off topic to the Post that they have commented on.

I can't decide if Spam Comments are by other Bloggers that haven't got as big of a following as the Blog that they Spam in hope of

A) Getting Spammed Blog down ranked by search engines due to Spam Comments.

B) Idiots that have nothing better to do with their time than leave Spam Comments on Blogs.

or Bots that just trawl the Net Spamming every single Blog there is.

But I thank god that I decided to use wordpress.com when I started Blogging as the Akismet Spam filter built into WordPress does a pretty good job of filtering out Spam Comments even though the odd one or two Spam Comments slip through the filter and every now and again I get the occasional off topic Comment.

But that still doesn't answer my question about What's the point of Spam Comments as all Spam Comments do is waste the time of Blog Authors who have to go through the Comments and delete all Spam, and that takes time away from them producing great content that people actually want to read, and it's a waste of Spam Commenter's time as none of the Spam Comments are actually going to get Approved by Blog Authors.

Microsoft LifeChat LX-2000 Review

Microsoft LifeChat LX-2000

 

Like the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 the Microsoft LifeChat LX-2000 is a combined Headset & Microphone, the only difference between the LX-3000 & the LX-2000 is that the LX-2000 is mainly a headset to use with a Laptop,  as it features a behind the head style headband and the Headset folds up and fits in an included case, like the LX-3000 the LX-2000 also sports an in-line remote, but it's a little more basic compared to the LX-3000 and the LX-2000 sports a pair of 3.5mm plugs that go into the soundcard Headphone & Microphone ports so it's not as neat a solution as the LX-3000 that uses a USB Port for connection, but for a headset that is more suited to a Laptop or Netbook it does save a USB Port that are rare on portable devices.

Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Review

Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000

This is my first review post in a while, and I've decided to do a review of the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset & Microphone.  While this headset isn't a top of the range headset it's ideal for use as a gaming headset with or without the use of the Microphone, for listening to music while  working, watching movies, YouTube videos or DVD's, Video chatting using Google Hangouts or Skype and for voice recognition Dictation.

The Headset connects to a PC or Laptop via a standard USB cable and has an in-line remote has a volume Up and Volume Down button, a Microphone Mute Button and a Call button for Windows Live Messenger, but as far as I can see it doesn't seem to work with the Windows 8 version of Skype or any other  Windows 8 Voice Messaging app, it may work with Desktop  versions of Skype etc. but it still should work with Skype etc. without the use of the Call Button.

I purchased the Headset for use while Gaming or watching YouTube videos instead of using the ear-buds that came with my phone.
