Ask Massively: Nick Burns edition
Today's Ask Massively letters come from David and Abionie, both of whom wrote us over the summer with comments about, well, our comments. This first one's from David: I'm probably not the only one who is generally displeased with the state of trolls on the internet today. You know them: doomsayers, hatespreaders, the "HAHA company X is failing, finally!" types, the kind of people for whom the hatred of a video game or company has become more addictive than playing the game that company made. Unfortunately, the internet gives soapboxes to people who probably don't have much of a relationship with soap. I would like to see more moderation towards keeping an articles comments on the topic of the article. It's becoming tiring to open up an article talking about something I am interested in, only to fear scrolling down too far and inadvertently opening up the comments to see "FAIL GAME IS FAIL COPYING X GAME IS LAZY" and the many hundreds of comments like that. We hear you, David, and not just about the soap. But also that.
Apple: The power to crush the other kids
Saturday Night Live has had some fun at Apple's expense over the years. From Nick Burns (MOVE!!) to Steve Jobs appearing on Weekend Update with Tina, they've all been pretty good. My all time favorite, however, is "McIntosh Jr." Young Zach wows his classmates with the killer project he made for Miss Hanson on his "McIntosh." It's very funny, and MacTV has got it ready for download. Check it out...and crush the other kids.
