Vista: The Vacuum, Verified

August 11th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Thanks to zacksback we now have two links to places that talk about Vista Sucking.
I went and read the sites so you don’t have to. Trust me. You’re glad you don’t have to.

Nxxx pointed out this post in comments last night. It’s called “Apple’s cash hoard: Begging for a ‘windfall tax’?”
Have we ever talked about Matt Asay before? I’d go look, but it isn’t worth it.
I read the whole article. Why? Because I can, that’s why. Nxxx is right. It did make my blood boil for a […]

Interesting note on Little Psystar

June 19th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Apple Insider is reporting that Little Psystar (pronounced: SIS-ter) is introducing an Xserve clone that runs Leopard Server. Take this with a grain of salt and a wedge of lime - I mean if you really must drink shitty tequila – the death of Psystar  is going to be big and bloody and ugly.

The visual voicemail lawsuit is over. Whew. Apple has signed a license for the technology. Thank the maker. I hadn’t been sleeping well.

One week later: News is slow. Many, many morons are still evaluating the health of Master Jobst Fimil. Reports ad nauseam state each others’ postulates and weird assessments as news. Nobody knows anything. […]
