I usually leave the commentary on Adobe to my Angry Mac Bastards cohort John Welch, but this gem was too good to give up. I’ve commented before in various venues that my issue with Adobe has little to do with shit like Flash performance, but rather the rampaging idiocy that comes out of Adobe’s Flash marketing team. Specifically, of course, I’m referring to master twit John “I Shift More Goalposts Than a Football Stadium Construction Engineer” Dowdell.

I sadly have to disagree with PZ over at Pharyngula regarding the controversy surrounding some bumpkin’s plan to burn a copy of the Qur’an. In a post today PZ essentially argues that the only appropriate to the threatened book roasting is a hearty, “whatever.” Continue reading PZ Is Wrong About the Qur’an Burning Despite the typically goofy local newspaper headline this is an interesting story of a woman who’s family became organ donation advocates after the death her brother, and who herself became a recipient years later. As an aside, I strongly urge people to become organ donors. It’s the one act of charity that literally costs you nothing. Like I wrote yesterday, I’m not particularly interested in doing any sort of roundup of the announcements from Apple’s yearly Music Event held yesterday, September 1st. However, there are a few things that popped out at me that I’d like to explore.

What is interesting to me, and touches on the idiocy around the AppleTV, is the way that iOS was almost fetishized by the tech press during the announcement. Continue reading The iOS Fetish Fuck it, let’s see how this goes. If you want to follow my utterly banal taste in music have at it. My Ping profile is here. Last week I tallied up my predictions on the predictions being made for the annual Apple September Music event by the rumorsphere. Now that the event is come and gone it’s time to grade my performance, and the performance of the rumormongers in general. Before I begin though, I think I need to clarify what I’m up to with these rumor predictions posts. First of all, the items that I list are not my predictions. They are the predictions being bandied about by the punditsphere. Secondly, the percentage values that I assign are completely pulled from my ass, often for comedic effect. That said, let’s see how we did. Continue reading Apple Special Event Predictions — the Results |
