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 [...]

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.  [...]

Ryan Block: Tool

March 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Posts

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 [...]

Suggestion to Gawker on How to Fix The Consumerist’s Shitty, Shitty Comments

February 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Posts

Ban every fuck who includes the phrase, “I don’t think we’re getting the whole story here.” and it’s variants.  Seriously, you’ll lose 80% of the comments, but the average intelligence of the remaining comments will go up by 800%, so it’s an overall win.

More Dreaming From the Mac Blogosphere.

Sweet beer-battered Christ with a side of cole slaw.  For the life of me, I’m trying to figure out what the fuck this is supposed to be about.  Seriously, what is the argument here?  That the AppleTV needs an ability to play DVDs?  I suppose that you can argue that, although I would place that argument [...]

Macworld Predictions

January 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Posts

Here are my Macworld predictions:

Apple’s stock will immediately drop after the Keynote, no matter what Steve says
Dvorak, Ou, and Enderle will write something retarded; Gruber and Welch will verbally abuse them for it.
The freetards will either a) claim that Apple stole something from FOSS, or b) claim that “Linux has been doing that for years.”
If [...]
