More Apple 30th Anniversary Rumors (TUAW.com)

Apr 3rd 2006 3:51PM Oh lord, not more of this crap. That's it. If you guys can't leave this stuff alone, I'm outta here. I know, boo-hoo, the asshole's gonna stop reading. But really...this crap just feeds the hype machine that you then all bitch about when your grandiose dreams/predictions don't come true.

The Battle for Chief Moron Continues (TUAW.com)

Apr 3rd 2006 3:33PM Ah yes, the old "MS saved/bought Apple" canard. A company with (at the time) $2 BILLION in cash reserves, saved from the gaping maw of bankruptcy by an investment of 7.5% of that amount from Microsoft? HA! Again I say unto you: HA! What a maroon!

TypePad launches blog widgets (Download Squad)

Mar 30th 2006 7:05PM Allow me to demonstrate my utter ignorance by saying: "Squidoo? The HELL?"

Is it just me, or are some of these "Web 2.0" sites sporting absolutely stupid monikers?

30" Cinema Displays receive a boost (TUAW.com)

Yes, but I'm using the front. ;)

Widget Watch: BitSticks (TUAW.com)

Mar 28th 2006 8:19PM joppe sez: "Resource hoggy and buggy."

Well, it IS a widget, so...

How would you convince a PC user to switch? (TUAW.com)

Mar 28th 2006 8:15PM I'm sure the screensaver is what seals the deal. God knows they don't have about half a billion of 'em for Windows.

I always tell people to buy what they're comfortable with. If that's Windows, so be it. If they're sick of the viruses and popups and the trojans THEN I suggest a Mac. I always let them bring up Macs first. That way I don't get the angry call from someone who hates the $@!*@#&! Mac *I* pushed on them.

And hard as it may be to believe, there ARE people who legitimately prefer Windows to the Mac OS. What a world, huh?

macTV posts my least favorite Apple ad (TUAW.com)

Mar 28th 2006 10:29AM Anyone who did that would probably get a talking-to from the stewar...sorry, FLIGHT ATTENDANTS. I'd like to know what airline he's flying with, because I've NEVER had that much room in steerag...I mean, coach.

And anyone who likes "Who Let the Dogs Out" should be shot, irrespective of what kind of computer he's driving.

Apple calls French cheese loving pirates (TUAW.com)

Mar 23rd 2006 10:08AM It's only a monopoly if Apple controls how you get music. Can you still buy CDs in France? Yes? Then Apple doesn't have a monopoly.

I say Apple should leave France. If their French customers complain, Apple should simply say, "C'est la guerre!"

TUAW Poll: XP on an iMac, What do you think? (TUAW.com)

Mar 19th 2006 1:08PM All I can say is, FINALLY! I don't need Windows all that often, but when I do it'll be nice to be able to run it at full speed without needing a second machine.

And to all of those folks who're talking smack about Windows, please...do the Mac "community" a favour and please grow up. It's far from perfect, but so is MacOS X. And don't tell me you don't have any gripes about MacOS X, because I *KNOW* you do. We all do. Grow up and get over it.

AOL's In2TV not for Mac (TUAW.com)

Mar 15th 2006 10:36AM Oh please! As if any of you really wants to watch streaming tv on your Mac! If they'd made it, you'd all be complaining that it wasn't full screen, DVD-quality video and that you couldn't burn the shows to DVD.

You know perfectly well what the format is: DRM'ed Windows Media. There is no way to play that on a Mac. If you want to complain about something, complain about that. Look at the system requirements if you have any doubts:

"Media Player: Windows� Media Player version 10.0"

That's why there will NEVER be a Mac version.
