I want one of these. A blaze of gunfire would actually make me want to get up in the morning. I honestly have too much work to do right now to offer any sort of in-depth insight regarding the historical events of this day; but I will offer one thought. While the election of President Barack Obama and the repudiation of the policies of the previous administration is crucial to the task of re-making this nation in the image that the founding fathers intended; it is not President Obama who will be the deciding factor in whether or not that change happens. The deciding factor is ourselves. It is incumbent on each and every one of us to effect the change we desire in this world. From the smallest acts of kindness, to partaking in the grand pageant of democracy. On this day, the future has been placed into our hands; and we will make the choice of how to shape it. Choose wisely.
If anyone is waiting on me commenting on the deluge of douchebag stories about Steve Jobs’ leave of absence; don’t hold your breath. There’s just too much jackassery here for me to tackle. But I will leave everyone with these thoughts: I wish Steve Jobs a quick and thorough recovery; and I wish Jesus Diaz, Brian Chen and every other piece of shit crowing over this a slow and painful death, possibly from dick cancer. sigh So, it seems that I’m going to have to explain reality to the MacMacs yet again. I know you’re all busy dusting off your hair-shirts and preparing for the inevitable round of self-flagellation that you so love to indulge in after every Apple announcement. But please, for the love of Moloch, try and actually think for a minute here. Apple is pulling out of Macworld Conference and Expo after this year. Ascribe to that whatever conspiracy theory makes your fuzzy little heads warm; but it’s a simple fact. Corollary to that fact; Steve Jobs wasn’t going to deliver the Keynote. Again, come up with whatever “moon-landing-was-a-hoax” theory you want to to explain that; but it’s a fact. So, given those facts; did you really, really, think that Apple was going to make some earth-shattering announcements today? Did you honestly believe that this was going to be anything other than the most banal and hum-drum Keynote since Jobs returned. Why, in the name of all that’s unholy would Apple go and prove that everyone who crucified them for pulling out of the Expo was right. Really, use your fracking brains you nimrods! Sing, O Goddess of the wrath of Achilles… On second thought bitch, sing of the wrath of the Angry Drunk, for he is indeed wroth. And what fine specimen of New Media Douchebaggery has earned my unholy wrath today? Why, it’s Jesus Diaz of Fuckwit Central, or Gizmodo as they prefer to be called. Last week I mentioned, in passing, a bullshit rumor-mill story by Jesus citing unnamed sources claiming that Steve Jobs’ decision not to deliver Apple’s final keynote address at the Macworld Expo this week was due to illness. In a rare move, both Steve and the Apple Board of Directors issued statements today addressing this issue. Steve’s letter is here; and the Board’s is here. Go ahead and read them. I’ll wait. Ok, you’re back. Did you read those? Seriously read them? Good; now here’s a quick pop quiz. In which sentence did Steve or the Board admit that Apple PR was “lying” when they stated that Apple was pulling out of Macworld because the Expo was no longer worth the investment? Can’t find that part? Neither can I; but we must not have the magical mind reading Continue reading The Gizmodo Cocksuckers Strike Again |
