I love Wall Street

Twa@t makes guess at earnings. Actual company earnings different (doesn't matter if bigger or smaller). Tw@t publicly embarrassed at guessing wrong, and thus stock price must be punished. Nobody gets away with making the tw@t look bad. Nobody. Got it!

Tw@t makes new guess, cycle starts again.

@Monkey

"There are some folks in here need to discover things like alcohol and masturbation to better fill their time."

I fear they have already discovered masturbation. It's what they're wanking over is the problem. Come on guys, that console of yours is a taker, not a giver. Find something with flesh to spunk over.

...like Paris.

Qwerty keyboards are fugly

Apart from the (very) latest Blackberry's, all Qwerty phones are friggin ugly. This one is right up there on the fugly scale. How long will companies spend polishing this turd of an idea. Use a slide out keyboard or anything, but not this ancient looking design. Everyone is running after RIM here, too scared to have a different design. As soon as RIM start having sliders, then you'll get the chasers copying. Nokia is just another chaser these days.

And why does the RIM Bold look like an iPhone with a keyboard? Now who's the chaser?

@50 inch?

You plainly know zero about HD. Zero.

N95

My N95 can do this, your XXX can't, my N95 can do that, your YYY can't. Na na na na na.

Yawn

Penguin, 'cause it's booooring

@Vincent

"( i have a blackjack now. It does everything i want and need ( including all the bluetooth stuff, file mounting etc ) its just a cramped little small screen.... and fussy keyboard. I pair it with a little nokia GPS receiver and run tomtom on it without problems."

Clap Clap

App Store

It'll appear a day early to the US/UK, but will actually be 'on time' for the NZ release. I'll let you figure out why.

Dear Webby

I almost didn't believe it was you until you STARTED using capitalised WORDS again. I now feel better.

Hmm, with regards to the explanation the 'sheeple' = 'sheep people'. Did you think you were so clever coming up with that it needed spelling out? I'm afraid we all above that type of show and tell here. We'll give you a pat on the head for the effort though.

What the hell...

...are Vogel and Mahoney doing? Trying to take down the prophet leader of the company they own shares in? How do you spell idiots again? Oh yes: Idiots.

I hope they succeed and see their shares tank.

@Rick Giles

How very noble of you. Clap Clap.

Where is the penguin icon with devil horns eh? Or can linux do no wrong? 'tards

Somebody send for the Doctor

If Webster doesn't post a "told you so" rant then he must be ill. We should all be concerned for his health don't you think?

Sending our love Webby

Oh no!

Safari are picking on Firefox now? Now the 'tards will really get in a lather.

Good

If this makes the interweb experience better for us paytards then I'm all for it. For those 3 people in the world who download more than 250gb a month legitimately I'm sorry you are affected.

For the rest of you Freetards, boo bloody hoo. Get a life rather than substituting penis measurement with how much bandwidth you can hog.

@[But won't their TVs be off already?]

Sniff! Three terrestrial channels! THREE! We have four thank you very much, five if you can pick up Prime.

Even Paris know this!

It's OK, you can still whine

Golly, with all this inclusion of 3G, GPS, better battery time, better price, what will all the whiners whine about?

Ah, but it's OK, as Apple caters to the whiners just like it does to all market segments. There is still no copy and paste, MMS, video recording.

Whine away.

You must be a Freetard

So used to getting your OS's for free*, you baulk at the idea that one, even an upgrade, might cost actual money....

Let the whining begin.

* via your saddo torrents

The Freetards are laughing at you

Like modern day Robin Hoods they steal from the rich (the paytards) to give to the poor (the morally bankrupt).

Thank goodness

Sense is prevailing at last. I mean those Freetards were really ruining the interweb for the rest of us paytards you know.

@AC 'It was not because her bag was not on the plane'

> "Whilst I can not say why I know this it is documented on the Internet."

Ah, therefore it must be true.

Let us all knee at the alter of truth the internet is and pray

Paris, as even she isn't this stupid

@has to be said

hahaha - excellent.

@AC

Wow, you could be a comedian. No really.

@AC

There is only one word for your little piece:

Lame

The article also states the USB option has been chosen to allow other players to connect. So it's not just iPods. Still, AirNZ aren't going to key their advertising on Zune connectivity are they.....

Ah Mr Phreaky - you're back!

Hmm, I'm going to try and be logical here Webby (hence the icon). May I call you Webby?

If I've remembered correctly you've dealt with many thousands of Apples (say 15000?) in your school district. This means it's 15000 times more likely that you've encounted a problem, than Average Joe Appletard (with exposure to say just one Apple).

This surely makes sense to you yes? This is why you are so misunderstood. This overexposure to Appletardness has clearly made you mad as a hatter.

A warning people, if you feel you're getting to much Apple exposure, stop and think, before you get Phreaky....

Impossible

Apart from all the Freetards downloading so much sh*t (just because they can) that they never have time to watch or listen to, does anyone have an genuine/legal reasons to use up 250GB a month? (and I mean for home use)

Anyone?

Anyone?

And not just for some pie in the sky future application. I mean now.

No didn't think so.

Here's a 2 tuner PVR - now stop you're B*tchin

http://www.topfield.co.kr/eng/product/detail.asp?idx=188&page=1&lang=1&tn=satelite&code=p_00001

Oh no, but wait, it's around 500 pounds so you 'I don't get out of bed for anything more than the price of a RyanAir ticket to Alicante' crowd can start your b*tchin again.

Where IS Webster?

If Webster doesn't comment on this article then it can only mean he's died. If this is the case, then why didn't I get an invite to the memorial service?

@crapple

Hey AC, um, I don't think headphones are meant to sound good to people other that those wearing them. So the fact they sound tinny to you is well, tough. Go bitch about the weather or something instead - you'll get more sympathy.

I own an all-image-no-substance-ooh-its-shiny-it-must-be-good computer. Whilst I have mass, I'm not retarded. Maybe I'm an exception? Maybe not. Maybe I'm just a happy simple retard.

Fugly. Just Fugly

Even if the MacBook Air didn't exist (in order to draw comparisons) that thing is fugly. Like some sweet laptop from the nineties, but on a diet and brought into the future. Wow. Neat. Cool.

Fugly.

Icon indicates what should happen to the designers.

I've always thought...

...Portishead would do a great Bond Theme.

@John Watts

Bravo Mr Watts. Bravo. However you missed out the word 'Freetard'.

Oh and Webster, can you come up with some new material please? The stuff you copy and paste from your 'Down with Apple' file each and every post is...yawn. What was I saying? Oh yeah. When you keep repeating the same old sh*t, people start to ignore it as it's boring.

And I for one do not want to have to start ignoring you. I love you Ralph Nader!

I've done it, I've done it!

I've figured out who Mr Webster Phreaky really is. It's now so obvious it hurts.

Take a bow, Mr Ralph Nader

Thank you Mr Nader for turning your activist attention on all things electronic. Apple and WD were getting away with MURDER for YEARS before you turned up.

Praise BE!.

@Joe K

Pah, I'm sick of this attitude. You're all too used to 'free' mobiles and 1 pound flights to Alicante. You get all indignant that you have to PAY for something. Freetard.

Out here in the bottom of the world, a PS3+PlayTV will be a very competitive HD DVR (let alone BluRay/DVD player or games console). In fact it'll be one of the few DVRs in the WORLD to record terrestrial Freeview HD (i.e. mpeg4) broadcasts. Maybe for you stone-agers in the UK this feature is overkill, but here it's a bargain.

In NZ too

Telecom (the NZ version of BT) has the same Yahoo disease, which they introduced last year to much fail (I think their email was out for a week? Good migration that one). They too have just implemented the same thing here. Disgusting process.

The new super 'anti-spam' is REAL clever as well. I sent an email to joe@blogs.com*. The reply from joe@blogs.com (with RE: <my original subject>) got sent to the spam folder however. WTF? Yeah REAL fkn clever.

* joe has had his identify change in order to protect his identity.

No Linux Freetards?

I might have missed it but usually there's some comment along the lines of 'gee if you had linux you wouldn't have these problems, snigger'. Come on people - I'm disappointed.

And Webster, Webster, whats wrong? I saw on the 'apple is best brand' article you flamed a guy for reading it wrong, but didn't take the opportunity to bag EVIL Apple. Get well soon!

BTW, I just love the term 'Freetard' and how it's made some of you squirm and get all indignant. Hilarious flame bait.

Go Web...sta, Go Web...sta

If Master Phreaky doesn't LAY down the LAW on this one I'll eat my Apple.

@g e

Wow. Are we reduced to bragging about 3G inadequacies in public now. 'My 3G is bigger than yours, snigger'. Ah for the innocent days when it was just about penis length.

Oh, and I'd be sad if Webster didn't chip in with something about the EVIL Apple empire now starting to INFECT other OSs.

Where's Webster?

Come on Mr Phreaky. You can't let this one slip by you surely?

Freeware

As I understand it Apple are allowing 'free' apps to be posted on iTunes (but they still have to go through certification). I'm not sure if this means you don't have to pay the $99 to develop said freeware however. To be honest though quibbling about $99 is childish. If you write freeware, does this mean you should have been given the computer you wrote it on free? No. If you can buy a computer to write your freeware on, you can pay $99 as well. Stop snivelling.

Amusing bit about being surprised about 'European' operators taking Apples deal. Are you implying that you weren't surprised American operators took it? Superiority complex?

As for the bitter comment about Apple gouging the punter with their profit share, uh, are you just upset Apple a) has a cut, or b) that the operator isn't taking 100%. You think the monthly charge would be X% less if Apple didn't take their cut? Ha haha.

@Webster

You were quite easy on the usage of CAPITALs there Webster. Are you feeling OK?

Please keep up your posts, no matter how tenuous the link to the original article. It's amusing imagining some zealot frothing at the mouth over the 'POS' Apple.
