Well, the echosphere today learned that Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Steve Jobs asking if The Master could score some magic mushrooms, some mescaline, and a few peyote buttons.
Within minutes the original story turned in to something completely bizarre.
Now that Master Jobst Fimil is alive and scheduled to be around for a few years, the financial/tech fuctards are pissing in their socks trying to find something upon which to build negative press. The stupid thing is that I saw the first mention of this over on the Huffington Post. The Huffington Post is less related to the technology industry than the Seattle Times is to the fish wrapping, and less useful overall.
The rest of the echospheroids should know better than to type this kind of crap.

There is a post here that is very good if you have a real knack for seeing unsourced statistics used to build specious arguments.
Anton Shilov is the nom de plume of the typist. He lacks the ability to make a single new point, but he does mention that Apple has a niche market in computers, software, phones, and the like. He also says the iPod is a major seller (he noticed). He says in the article Macs are “rarely bought.”
Apparently, he doesn’t get out much or he’d know that twisted statistics can be rebutted with facts. If you use facts talking about computers you’re labeled an Apple Fanboi. If you resort to facts in political discussions you’re called “conservative.”

The eighties weren’t all bad.
The eighties weren’t all bad.
And yet you use Simply Red as an example!
Please explain!
Simply Red is not my favorite singer from the 80s. The track above is absolutely excellent. I don’t categorize music except by this standard: I like the track or I don’t. Everything else is just posing.
