I need a drink If you’ve visited the site or looked at the RSS feed during the last twenty-four hours there’s a good chance that you saw one of a menagerie of errors. Sorry about that. This post will try to explain what the hell was going on as well as point out some changes to the way the site works. Continue reading Pardon the Fucking Mess
A rare bit of sane commentary amongst the current unicorn-mongery about the supposed “Apple HDTV” from Craig Grannell. Another point that the techno-utopians are missing is this: What about all the content that doesn’t fit into the iTunes model of distribution?
All of this content will require players/set-top-boxes that eliminate the “simplicity” that everyone spouts as the raison d’être for the Apple HDTV in the first place. When you look at the content that the majority of people consume, and not just the habits of the small sample of hipster techno-utopians yapping about this, it’s clear that this market is far more complicated than the blogoratti seems to believe. .
Warning: Political Content Ahead It pisses me the fuck off. Whenever there is the slightest chance for an actual populist movement to arise in this country and have a hope in hell of connecting with the masses the bastions of “liberal” ideological purity rear up and do their fucking best to drive people away from it. Case in point, this idiotic piece of drivel from Greg Laden. Continue reading Shooting Ourselves in the Dick
Shawn King for Stupid Apple Rumors:
Honestly, the only thing that surprises me about this analysis is that the shit-bag rumormongers did as well as they did.
Anyone who has listened to the latest episode of the Angry Mac Bastards podcast should be aware that I was somewhat annoyed to say the least at the general reaction of the tech press to the iPhone 4S announcement. John Kheit, writing for The Mac Observer, echoes my feelings — with a bit less volume, but far more panache:
Preach it! Continue reading Tech Press Gets It Wrong on iPhone 4S
Normally I’d post something like this as a link list item, but since it’s behind the Macworld Insider1 pay wall I’ll link it here. In the post the Macalope tears into three shit-bags seeking to either capitalize on Steve Jobs’ death or to antagonize people, presumably for page-views: David Srere — shittiest “brand expert” ever, Hamiton Nolan — from the tabloid shit-rag Gawker and everyone’s favorite fundamentalist asshole Fred Phelps. Writeth the horned one:
Well said my mythical brother-from-another-species, well said. And with that we have the last I’m going to say — in this forum — about the shit smears trolling a man’s death. Fuck the lot of ‘em.

And so it goes. I don’t have any deeply personal stories of how Steve affected my life. I didn’t know the man other than through his work — and I’m sure that Steve lived out his life blissfully unaware of my existence. And that’s how it should be. What I did share with Steve was a vision. It’s the vision that lies at the heart of every Apple product that Steve had a hand in — that technology should serve to empower people to do and create the things they love. That vision is what drew me to my first Macintosh computer and it ultimately secured me as a life-long Apple customer. I try, every day to incorporate that vision into the things I do. For that vision, and for the drive to carry it out Steve Jobs will always have my thanks and respect. – Created on my iPad Continue reading Steve Jobs 1955 — 2011 |
