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 [...]
Additional Thoughts on the OpenMac Announcement.

Today’s Winner For “Retarded Business Model” Goes To…
April 14th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Posts
…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 [...]

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.

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

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 [...]

More Dreaming From the Mac Blogosphere.
February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Posts
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 [...]

If Wishes Were Horses…

Ok, I only have the energy for a mico-rant today; so here goes. What the bloody fuck is wrong with so-called technology “reviewers” who cannot for the life of them separate their wants and desires from the fucking product that they are reviewing. Case in point this quote from a “preview” of the new AppleTV [...]

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 [...]

Yes, thwunk.
That kids, is the sound of me slamming my head against the keyboard. By the by, ergonomic keyboards are much better on the noggin than standard. And why am I slamming my head into the keyboard you ask. Well it may have something to do with this bit of idiocy from The Apple Blog. The [...]
