Joe Nocera is a Slime Bucket

This one’s probably not going to win me any friends; but then again, I’m not in this for the popularity. As you all probably know, one of the memes being bandied about in the media in the last week is the “Apple is ‘fucking up’ by not disclosing Steve Jobs’ medical condition.” To which Apple [...]

“Doesn’t that make you a little weazy?”

Continuing in the fine Gawker Media tradition of posting any old crap as long as it gets hits, The Consumerist today brings us the breaking news that people sell bull cocks as dog treats.  Shocking, I know. In lieu of commentary, I bring you the sage words of Tom Waits.
I was a little shocked! I know [...]

Gods Damned Brilliant

Masterful piece from Matt Taibbi at the rollingstone.com deconstructing the media’s coverage of the Presidential election and what the real issues in America are.

I Bought a FreeRunner!

You heard it kids; the FSF’s cogent and well thought out arguments convinced me to buy a FreeRunner with the OpenMoko OS. No wait, I bought an iPhone.

Booop!

Hey, this is Angry Drunk’s iPhone. He has AT&T, so he’s got, like, zero bars in his own gods damned bedroom. Hope you didn’t have anything important to say.
Seriously AT&T, this is fucked up.
Commence the derision by the “don’t buy an iPhone” crowd.

Exceedingly Quick Post.

In order to avoid confusion, I will henceforth refer to “Free” in the sense of the Free Software Foundation means it as “Fwee.” For a guide to pronunciation, see the scene in Lord of The Rings where Smeagol represses Gollum. The Elmer Fudd variation is also acceptable.

You Want Something To Bitch About?

Try this. Seriously Apple, get yo’ shit together.

How Did I Miss This Tripe?

Mainly because the only reporting I’ve seen on it was from the losers at Lifehacker. And what tripe am I writing about? Well, another “Don’t buy an iPhone” shit-piece from none other than the unwashed freetards at the Free Software Foundation.  You know, your go-to neckbeards for opinions on consumer electronics. So, let’s take a quick [...]

Two Quickies

First, a “Ha!” to Dan Costa; and a kudos to Yardena Arar at PC World. One of Dan’s rampant speculations in his little iPhone hit piece that I commented on here was that the iPhone 3G would undoubtedly have a worse battery life than competing 3G phones. On the contrary, PC World ran some actual [...]

Bow Before Your Lord Apophis!

Apparently I have a “braying lynch mob of commenters“. Sweet! Now I just need some henchmen and things are gonna start looking up around here.
