More Fun From the Psystards

By The Angry Drunk

Good lords I just had an aneurysm. I just noticed via MacNN that the nimrods over at Psystar are shipping “servers” with Leopard as an option. What sort of rampaging moron would actually run a hackintosh as a proper server? I can understand the impetuous for the average freetard to build a hackintosh for personal use. They’re cheap bastards, and I suppose there is a certain enjoyment in the process of shoe-horning OS X onto unsupported hardware. But a fucking 1U server? Quick question for anyone seriously considering blowing a minimum of $2,000 on one of these turds. Who, exactly, do you think is going to provide support for this abomination. I can guaran-fucking-tee it won’t be Apple. If I was a CIO and found one of these things sitting in my racks the shit-cannnings would happen so fast that space-time itself would break.

The Great iPhone Price Debate

By The Angry Drunk

I’m not going to be arsed to dig up any links to the ongoing debate over whether the iPhone 3G is or isn’t actually cheaper, or a good deal. Instead I’m going to sum this up in simple terms even the simpletons in the blogokleinbottle can understand:

If you already own an iPhone (2G) and don’t have a critical need for aGPS or 3G speeds (assuming that you are in a market that supports 3G). Don’t buy the iPhone 3G, it’s a bad deal.

If you don’t own an iPhone, or you have a crucial need for aGPS or 3G speed (assuming that you are in a market that supports 3G). Buy the iPhone 3G, it’s a good deal.

There, are we all clear? Now go back to speculating on el Jefe’s health; or whatever it is you nerdlingers do when I’m not paying attention.
