Paul Thurrott Opens Mouth, Unbridled Idiocy Pours Forth

February 10th, 2009, by The Angry Drunk

In the Retarded Zealot Hall of Fame there is none loftier than Paul Thurrott. He has achieved a level of absolute inanity that is unpar­al­leled by any MacMac, free­tard or New Media Douchebag. Given that fact, today’s bit of men­tal vomit comes as lit­tle surprise.

Microsoft Licenses ActiveSync to Google Why is the com­pany coop­er­at­ing with a competitor?

There you have the head­line of today’s dia­tribe; and there you have the crux of the idiocy. See, like any good zealot, in Paul’s mind Microsoft must be the end all and be all of, well, every­thing. The mere thought of coop­er­a­tion is trauma induc­ing. Paul begins by spend­ing a few sen­tences mak­ing snide com­ments about “conspiracy-happy Mac fanat­ics” (pot meet ket­tle) before mak­ing this comment:

With Apple gain­ing usage share in the PC mar­ket reg­u­larly over the past sev­eral years, why is Microsoft prop­ping up this ever-stronger com­peti­tor with the cru­cial Office pro­duc­tiv­ity suite?

Oh, I don’t know Paul; maybe because Apple and Microsoft aren’t really com­peti­tors.I know that this is a shock­ing con­cept to both sides of the OS wars, but it’s true. Apple doesn’t com­pete with Microsoft. Fuck, every cur­rently ship­ping Apple Macintosh com­puter not only

Norwegian Consumer Protection Group Announces, “We’re Ineffectual Twats”

February 4th, 2009, by The Angry Drunk

Back in September of last year I wrote a piece about the chuckle fucks in Norway rant­ing and rav­ing about evil iTunes and its human rights vio­lat­ing DRM. In the ensu­ing shit­storm of responses from the forces of moral decency (aka cheap cock­suck­ers) it was pointed out, numer­ous times, that rant­ing at Apple over this issue was doing about as much good as piss­ing into the ocean; because it wasn’t Apple demand­ing the DRM, it was the record labels. Of course that point was lost on the cheap­tards; because in their world, wishes are horses and they damn well are going to ride.

Cue today’s announce­ment that Norway is drop­ping its idi­otic demands due to Apple and the record labels, agree­ing to drop DRM in the iTunes music store.

Hope you arc­tic dip­shits enjoyed your three years of wind­mill tilt­ing. Now imag­ine how much faster we could have had this had you gone after the real prob­lem instead of try­ing to gin up headlines.

Fucktards.
