Zune Guy calls Microsoft 'liars,' says Zune situation is 'f***ing bulls**t' {Engadget}

Jul 26th 2008 7:56PM No, it's a nut , with a bizarre devotion to a gadget, that has become unstable, and is now just a walking punchline for commentators to somehow use him as a club against Microsoft.

No different than Linux nuts who throw eggs at people or Apple crazies that camp out for a week for a phone.

The all need to get the happy vest.

Jul 23rd 2008 4:55PM "I would like to see people deny the iphone's influence in the market now.."

Yeah, Apple has totally pushed the icon industry to new heights...

"*Yawn*
iphone will surpass this soon enough"

You've never used it, yet you say the iphone will surpass it?

Also you've just admitted that it's better than one.

Open Tech's "Mac clone" demonstrates a firm misunderstanding of the law {Engadget}

Jul 22nd 2008 8:48AM "This is just a rational business response to an irrational suggestion."

Like the RIAA "rational business response" to an "irrational suggestion" of actually owning the music you buy?


Only in the Appleverse can having a freedom of hardware choice be considered "an irrational suggestion".

It's like dividing by zero, eh?

Jul 22nd 2008 8:21AM "Why this unnecessary spewing against Open Tech?"

Because they may harm Apple's bottom line with this, so the "unbiased" writer wants to tear into these guys for having the audacity to commit such a dastardly sin as installing OSX on a non Apple system.


It's odd tht the same people that railed against the RIAA for locking down music to one player, all of a sudden support locking down an OS to one brand of computer.

Jul 22nd 2008 8:16AM Well, so what?

When did this become an issue of protecting Apple's profits rather than giving consumers freedom of choice.

Constantly we are bombarded with how MS is allegedly locking down this or that for whatever reason. And you will hear no end to the screeching from the same people that are paranoid that giving people a little freedom will make it harder for Apple's stock price.


Which oddly enough many of the people that are the most forcefully against this posses.

Jul 22nd 2008 8:11AM "Sure, I can understand why everyone would like to buy a cheap box and install fine Leopard on it.

But this is short sighted and nonsense.

People: Stop regarding computers as "spec lists".
The OpenTech computers are a good example: the pure numbers look good and they are "cheaper" than Mac and have the certain appeal of gaming graphics card, so money of you seem to need, but:

It is just a box of standard components stuffed into an UGLY, cheao, case. You will not have the brilliant Service Apple offers, you will not have the quality build, the brilliant design, the reliability of the hardware and you will not have the superb software that is included with every Mac you buy.

Opening up Mac OS to other computers will be BAD for customers, not GOOD! I'm a Mac switcher and I don't want that to happen, because everybody knows the consequences!"

Rough translation:

We need to protect Apple's bottom line.
