Apple is so kicking the tech-planet’s ass right now.
The argument on the innertubes about the iPad’s technical this-and-that is distracting Apple’s “competition.”
The argument is by the geeks, for the geeks. Let’s see if I can articulate this.
99% of the argument about the technical merits of various tablets is between people who know the meaning of [...]

Really. It’s pretty grim out there if you’re a tech punditbot or fundtard. Apple went ahead and announced the iPad.
It doesn’t have Flash. That’s the big frigging news. The imbeciles can’t even bitch about cut and paste on this one. Most of them have gone back to posing as 14-year old girls in IRC chat [...]

I’m good, for now

GoDaddy.com, which advertises its business using the most refined possible examples of skin, has taken enough of my money to assure me that my domain names are safe for 1095.75 more days.

There it is. It just sucks. SUCKS.
There are negative reviews all over the internet since the introduction of the iPad, yesterday. I mean, to read the sniveling punditbots, this thing is just the most snot-covered, maggot-infested, totally icky piece of runny shit ever to be foisted on an unsuspecting public (leaving out a few career [...]

It’s January 27. The Big Frigging Day

January 26th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Apple Event, Apple Tablet, Distant Flame Wars, Gadgetry, Netbooks, Punditbots and Fundtards, Tablet

Let’s review what January 27th signifies.
In Europe and the U.K., they are observing various forms of Holocaust Remembrance.
In Serbia it isĀ  St. Sava Day.
It is the 43rd anniversary of the fire in Apollo 1.
It is the 27th anniversary of the joke:

A: Major Burns.
And on [...]

PLEASE?
The argument between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell was an Ivy League debate compared to this constant fricking NETBOOK drumbeat.
Here is how the thing is going to pan out:
Listen closely, because when it happens the whole frigging fundtard, techblogospheroid, and punditbot community is going to make a noise you’d expect of a guy picking up [...]
