2. Please don't let the Hard Drive fail repeatedly
3. Please don't let it hang-up repeatedly (unlikely since its not running OSX).
4. Please don't let the white plastic top discolor and turn a sordid orangey. (At least have the decency to just start off organe liek the Dell Bamboo !)
5. Please have a proper power connection at the back, please don't have the power cord fall out all the time, no magnetic gimmicks.
6. Please don't continually prompt me for updates to Quicktime, iTunes and other stuff (why couldn't Apple just get it right the first time).
7. Please don't have the video card fail completely.
8. Please don't have me resetting the Eprom every damned week.
9. Please don't have the Fan go wild - it won't sound like an aircraft taking off all the time.

Oh and please allow me to stand this veritcally or horizontally. Now that would be an innovative good idea.

...I think it's gonna be ok. This is not an Apple.

I would never ever ever accuse you of telling half the story, or of omitting pertinent facts...but....your quote struck me as being missing something...like the middle. It should read...


There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brother, have forgotten what these mestos where like things changing so skorry these days and everybody very quick to forget, newspaper not being read much neither. Well, what they sold there was milk plus something else. They had no license for selling liquor, but there was no law yet against prodding some of the some of the new veshches which they would put into the old moloko, so you could peet it with vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom or one or two other veshches which would give you a nice quiet horrorshow fifteen minutes admiring Bog And All His Holy Angels And Saints in your left shoe with lights bursting all over your mozg. Or you could peet it with knives in it, as we use to say, and this would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of dirty twenty-to-one, and that was what we were peeting this evening I’m starting off the story with.

Slide 1:
"Asus Box Features:
...
Operating System: Windows XP Home"
Slide 3:
"...
The Linux based operating system..."

So there you have it, people. The reason everyone loves XP's stability is because it is based off of Linux?!?

I wouldn't be surprised if Clak really hated Apple but is pretending to be an overzealous Apple Fanboy just to annoy everyone. Or, better yet, he could be an Apple stockholder who keeps throwing out the name of Apple products to keep interest high, creating more Engadget posts about Apple products and ultimately generating more sales... but that's just the conspiracy theorist inside me having some fun.

Oh, and the Eee Box looks cool :)]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/Jun 26th 2008 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/Everyone above this line was successfully trolled.

Honestly, is this you people's first time on the internet? The best way to deal with a troll is to completely ignore it, not respond to it like it's a real person. It feeds off your hate; your bile. Your insults validate his existence, and your logical arguments are fodder for his garbage. You enable it to annoy you just by replying.

Just vote down and move on. Resist the urge to respond. And remember to keep an eye out for the username so you don't feed it again. Eventually, it will move on to a better feeding ground.

(Yes, I'm aware that I'm not practicing what I preach. But the lack of troll-handling awareness was killing me.)]]>Jun 26th 2008 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/Jun 26th 2008 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/
Apologist:
I really did like the use of the word apologist.

Bigot:
I am really very glad that you did not tread on the hallowed grounds of the word "Bigot".

Of course there are lots of ways of defining this word, all amounting to the same thing. But I particularly like that of Wikipedia:

"Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable."

Of course there is dear old merriam-webster chipping in with:

Bigot : "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

Apple Fan Boy = Bigot ?
The Good Guys = Apologist ?

Yep, that's about right]]>Jun 26th 2008 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/Jun 26th 2008 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/more-details-and-press-shots-of-asus-eee-box/Jul 8th 2008 10:55AM
