Microsoft Versus Apple (Huh?)

May 31st, 2008 · 5 Comments · Follies of Humanity, Gadgetry, Leopard, Malware, Master Jobst Fimil, Microsoft, iPhone

I don’t like stereotypes and generalizations. That is unless I can use them for comic effect, which is whenever I speak or write. Having said that, the discussion between Wintards and Apple Fanboys seems a little like a marital disagreement to me. I’m going to equate the Apple Fanboys to the male part of the [...]

Went shopping with the womenfolks. Jasmine shops at a health food store. My kind of health food store, as it turns out.

It makes no difference what they report over on MDN; the comments will include vitriol, name-calling, partisan bickering, and of course the ever-popular “looser.” Sometimes, “fucking looser.” Conservatives, liberals, Apple fanboys and Wintards enter a free-for-all in the MDN comments. Some are there just to stir the pot and watch the show. Others earnestly believe [...]

Buildings Razed. Crops Burned. Locusts. Boiled Okra. Widespread Panic.

Remember to remember the memory “Memorial Day” stands for. It’s more than a barbecue and a brew. Hoist that brew a little higher, and say, “Thank you.” … Nobody posted any news today. Apple sent me some New and Improved software. Other than that, the weekend has been pretty quiet. It’s so quiet outside you [...]
