Oh For The Love Of God!

In response to the whiny fucknuts who pissed an moaned over Apple serving up a side of Safari along with the latest iTunes update on Windows (see my rant here), Apple updated their Software Update client for Windows to distinguish between “new” and “updated” software.  So, there you go, Apple bows to the community and [...]

Freetard Follies

April 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Posts

This tickles me.  The maroons at Linux.com felt compelled to write an in-depth article about how the iPhone developer program is not compatible with “Free Software.”  Ignoring the biggest flaw in their article, which is assuming that the NDA restrictions currently being imposed on the developers in the beta program will also apply to developers once the [...]

Additional Thoughts on the OpenMac Announcement.

April 15th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Posts

Update to yesterday’s big Mac story.  So, apparently the Psystards (come on, they handed me that one) have vowed to fight Apple in court for their “right” to sell generic PC’s with OS X installed.  Amazingly, the blogokleinbottle response has actually been somewhat intelligent, but that’s a rant for another day.  What I want to focus [...]

…The chuckle-heads at Psystar, whose website seems to be down, so here’s a link to the Ars story.  It seems these frigtards are selling a Leopard compatible Mac “clone” for four hundred clams.  Here’s a quick dramatization of the strategy meeting in Psytar central that resulted in this brave experiment in getting your asses sued off [...]

Instant Gratification v.s. Rich Experience

March 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Posts

There was a post on The Apple Blog today that got me thinking. While I disagree with the conclusions that the author draws, I don’t think that this is a case of the usual blogoratti magical thinking. Rather, I think that there is some fundamental missunderstanding of the current market in video entertainment. The author puts [...]

Translation Services

Just a quick translation from CEO-speak to English of the recent comments from the CEO’s of Mozilla and eMusic (I’m not linking, google them yourselves).
Motherfucker! Why didn’t we think of this first.

Today’s Whiny MacMeme Is…

March 21st, 2008 · 37 Comments · Posts

…Apple is a bad “Windows citizen” because they “sneakily” “forced” Safari 3.1 on unsuspecting Windows iTunes users.  Apparently some of the whiny twats in the blogokleinbottle are up in arms that Apple offered up Safari 3.1 for Windows in the Software Update tool that gets installed with iTunes/QuickTime on Windows.  My take: here’s a douche [...]

And Today’s Jackass Blogger Is…

March 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Posts

Ashutosh Chaturvedi! Ashu serves up one hell of a two-fer on his blog. In fact, his blog has a whopping 2 posts, and they’re both mind bogglingly retarded. Taking the lesser of two fuck-ups first, we have this gem. Ashu is upset that Tuesday’s Leopard Security update broke ssh. Quote:
One would [...]

Here we go.

Strap in cats and catettes, this is going to be a bumpy ride.  Apparently Apple has made their first round picks for the iPhone developer program.  Note, this only applies to developers receiving the certificates that they need to install and test their software on physical iPhones.  Anyone reading more into the decisions (such as [...]

Note to Social Media Retards, The World Doesn’t Revolve Around You.

March 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Posts

One could argue that I pick on the kids at The Apple Blog.  But, gosh darn it, they make it so easy.  Case in point.  Today one of the crew over there posed the question, “Should Apple have had a bigger presence at SXSW?“  To which I will be glad to provide an answer.  No.  [...]
