More anti-apple fodder

You know, I try to retain a reasoned approach to apple and its practices, then they do something douchebaggy like this.

*sigh*

The comments being posted at the source are worth a read for the laugh.

And you truly have been doing a fine job of it too (I respect that).

I on the other hand joined the blind (rage) hatred camp about half way through the "I'm a Mac" ad campaign. I hear Apple and I see red ...(which they conveniently are)... I'm just feed-up with their prissy prescient nonsense - and really just wish they would all kindly go to hell. :)

While I favor Google's services (for now), I'm really tired of every mainstream tech media story being about either Apple or Google.

Has the world passed the office suite by? Office 2010 is coming soon and Microsoft can't buy a story on it.

Maybe they can't buy press coverage. But they will give you this 202 page e-book for free.
