The Angry Drunk

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 [...]

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 [...]

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).

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 [...]

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.  [...]

Today Apple held an event to layout the roadmap for enterprise support and the SDK.  I’ll leave the analysis of the event to my betters, mainly because a) I don’t own an iPhone, b) I’m not a developer and c) the morons in charge of “Enterprise IT” where I’m at would first ask if that [...]

This is so rich I just got the fucking gout. PayPal actually opining Safari’s anti-phishing capabilities!  PayPal, the company that put phishing on the map, and is well know for ganking their clients’ dough.  I’ve got a suggestion for Apple if they want to make Safari more secure…block PayPal.
