It’s horrifically embarrassing to admit I missed one of the better idiot-quotes from Erick Schonfeld’s latest Google rim-job, and didn’t notice it until I saw it in a Prince McDildo article:
Google supposedly didn’t need to create its own phone, because it could simply create software for the iPhone. And, in fact, some of the best apps on the iPhone—Mail, Maps, YouTube, Search—were developed by Google.
The lack of oxygen from Google’s schlong blocking Erick’s airway must have confused him. None of those applications were developed by Google. One isn’t even a real application.

A while back in one of the Angry Mac Bastards podcasts I postulated that Scoble’s Twitter favorites can’t possibly be of any worth, since he can’t possibly be paying the slightest attention to what he favorites. Consider the numbers that he states in the linked blog post. 7,000 favorites in two months? By the most generous math that comes out to 116 favorites a day. Now go look at the list of favorites on that blog post. At the time I’m writing this, there is only one tweet out of the twenty there that is even arguably not marketing chaff. I seriously doubt that will change.

Erick Schonfeld takes one deep and works the ballsack today with this: Google Should Make Apple Beg For Maps Navigation. Choice quote:
When Google announced what is clearly the best car navigation application on any mobile today, it didn’t just take a swipe at GPS navigation companies such as Garmin and TomTom. It took a swipe at Apple.
Ignoring the breathless proclamation that, since it’s from Google it must be the best thing since unicorn cum, let me just point out that Apple already “took a swipe” at Google when they banned Google Voice, banned Google Latitude and bought a mother-fucking mapping company. As for the retarded notion that Google should make Apple “beg” to use their precious unicorn-tear powered mapping framework, recall that Google doesn’t make dime fucking one directly from Android phone sales. It makes it’s money selling advertisements. As such, I rather imagine that Google will be begging Apple to use their service on one of the fastest growing mobile platforms in the fucking Universe.
Seriously, Erick and the rest of the TechCrunch lackwits, stop before your lips become permanently chapped.

Presented, without additional comment, the opening paragraph of Rob’s latest flight of fancy:
This is likely to point with Apple this month as they sit stunned that Windows 7 is doing so well and they are left looking foolish with products priced out of the segment. Their big news this week was a couple of PCs, a new keyboard and a multi-touch mouse. This last will likely go down in history as one of the lamest devices yet as they should know, given the iPhone, that touch is connected to the screen and not anything else. They likely would have done better putting fir on the damn thing and building it to fart the star spangled banner at least that would have been patriotic.
Can someone check and make sure that Rob isn’t having a psychotic episode?

Take this article, change the domain and banner to Fox News, and I defy you to show me the difference.

Seriously, read this article from Wired about the anti-vaccine movement. This message cannot be spread far enough. As an aside, I have to say that I’m absolutely in love with the writing in this article. It’s fact–based, pointed and refrains from indulging in the asinine he said, she said false equivalence crap that most modern “journalists” think represents “objectivity.”

Updated iMacs, Macbooks, Minis and a new Mouse. I want the 27″ Quad i7 iMac so bad it’s making me physically ill.

It looks like the fucking lack-wits at Lifehacker are still attempting, and miserably failing, to report on technology. Case in point: the execrable piece of crap that Kevin Purdy shat forth today under the headline “Latest iPhones Block Jailbreaking.”
Before I address the article itself I want to make something clear. All of the current processes used to “jailbreak” iPhones (that I know of, correct me if I’m wrong) rely on operating system exploits to do their thing. That’s right kiddos, exploits as in “the shit that the evil crackers use to “pwn” your systems.
So, what heinous crime is Apple has Apple committed this time? From the Lifehacker story:
The Dev-Team and other jailbreak makers have been using an exploit known as 24kpwn to break into the iPhone and obtain deeper access to install new app markets and unlock certain features. A new booting firmware update, iBoot-359.3.2, has been shipped on 3GS models manufactured since last week, however, and a Dev-Team member tells the Boy Genius Report that jailbreaking won’t be possible on the newer units, at least until another exploit is found.
OMFGWTFBBQ!!! Apple patched a known exploit in the OS, why those fucking assholes!! How dare
