More of the same, inane drunken-bizarro-Orlowski nonsense...

Bizarro kingd writes: "There's nothing quite so righteous as a Puritan who suddenly discovers wickedness has been lurking at the heart of the community for years, and embarks on rooting it out to save us all. After years of uncritical coverage, the press pack has decided that Apple is after all, quite wicked. Adobe is stoking the discontent with a lavish - and possibly quite misleading - ad campaign launched yesterday. This is very ill-judged, and the blow-back could be felt across the entire IT industry."

The hypocrisy and/or ignorance is so thick you could step on it... check this latest, almost EXACTLY same type of crap Orlowski is accusing others, from none others than Steve iHimself Jobs, written in a replay to Gawker's Ryan Tate:

"Yep, freedom from programs that steal your private data. (...) Freedom from porn. Yep, freedom."

Someone really needs to put down that whiskey bottle and start doing research before sounding off of his @ss in nonsensical, ad-hoc pieces, Mr Orlowski, don't you think?

The whole Wiki Unvierse turned into a joke long time ago...

...when all these self-entitled nerds got unlimited mod rights and pretty much gutting everything their little mince stupid committee didn't like - eg once we uploaded some high-rez-imagery for illustration, our own pic and soon it was taken down calling it first copyrighted (yeah except we were the copyright holders which we clearly indicated) then as a hidden advertisement...

...no comment, WIki doesn't worth any energy to support - they only want tyou to send MONEY.

You can kiss my @ss, dear Leader Wales especially after moves like this.

RE "...for the serious gamers" and "games on pc's? naah" and other utter idiocies...

After reading this part:

"...OnLive will start streaming games to PCs and Macs this June using algorithms and patented video compression technology it's promised will overcome network latency to deliver rich graphics and powerful performance for the serious gamer."

I laughed.

Then I read this one:

"I stopped playing games on pc's years ago, I prefer consoles because the game was written precisely for this hardware profile, no messing around with fast hard disks, specced ram or wickedy wick graphics cards, if its for this console, its optimised for this console."

and I just felt sorry for the ignorant-as-hell but confident-as-always poster.

I'm a Dad, have a family, a full-time job etc yet I will never-ever consider giving up occasional gaming on my PC - anyone 'serious enough' will tell you the same thing: PC gaming is unparalleled, unmatched and always LEADS gaming, unlike consoles which are inherently compromised (some mi8ght say broken) platforms, not to mention their controls, completely useless for several of my favourite genres (FPS, Hybrid FPS-RPG, RTS).

What these ignoramuses think, where computer graphics advances, on consoles? Aside of few moments due to internal development politics (R600 aka Xenon) consoles are always riding on the tail of PC graphics.

Any console, due to its sole advantage (fixed hardware, that is), is inherently INFERIOR to any high-end PC graphics at any given date and I don't even want to get into the nasty details of lackluster console hardware, the craptastic texture quality, the color space differences (RGB vs Video) etc etc.

Whoever thinks "serious gamers" would ever consider some online streaming service that's worse than a console is clearly clueless - unless, of course, "serious" means some half-retarded console button-smashing teen in their basement...

GoDaddy's tainted track record

GoDaddy and its multiple "insider trading" scandals or illegal customer lock-ins, tricks etc does not help me to believe it's anything other than a cynical PR stunt.

Good news but it's time to show something, AMD!

I mean there is no more Intel out there for any more billion-plus shakedown money and ATI's success cannot bankroll the CPU division - you need to get back on your feet in the CPU market, it's really your last chance now. Ditch that fab (GlobalFoundries) already and get back to tuning Bulldozer to make sure it will beat Sandy Bridge next year. Ahh and forget Llano unless you already have someone (Dell, HP etc) to pay for it - nobody really gives a crap about the performance of integrated, entry-level graphics cores.

Nice work with ATI, though - I hope you are getting ready a new architecture for Northern Islands because we need you to keep Nvidia in check! :)

Google = NO SUPPORT (and that includes Google Apps Premiere)

Seriously: I wonder how thick is that pimped skin on E>S.' face - last imt ein som3e interview he claimed you can just call support when you have GA Premier... well, you CANNOT unless there's an outage, period.

Goggle has NO SUPPORT - even their email-based support is nothing but some "SMART SCRIPTS" (= they are pathetically lame and broken) parsing your mail then firing back a CANNED RESPONSE.

For the free Google Apps it's fine - for $50/year/user it's A JOKE.

And now they are playing the same stupid, clueless-arrogant game with their mobile customers - they are inflicting PERMANENT DAMAGE to the Google brand & cloud.

Way to go, blokes, way to go.

For all Apple-loving ignoramuses...

...as much as I hate M$ I can only laugh at your hilarious-clueless wet dreams about Apple posing a real threat to M$...

...READ MY LIPS: NEVER UNLESS THEY REWRITE OS X ENTIRELY and change their business model (<-won't happen before Jobs dies.)

1. In case you forgot corporations buy multiple times more lics than individuals - and OS X is clearly NOT EVEN AN OPTION if it would come to replacr any modern (2008) AD-based networks especially with 100+ machines. It does not even have a true server version whatsoever, let alone advanced management tools.

2. Apple offers 1/10000th of the software library and most of them are still coming from Mothership Apple. Hint: producer/designer/WAITERs are NOT A SERIOUS MARKET FORCE. Yes, we like you, you are cute in your hideous-ugly-metrosexual clothes or bald head with giant eyegl;asses with thick black frames but trust me, you are NOT a market force. You can buy your little Macbook Pro and build your home studio and hopefully one day you can quit being a busboy and start being an actor/producer/designer/whatever but your so-called "switch" STILL won't make a dent in M$ revenue because it's not based on you, you're barely counted, sorry.

3. Hardware prices and offerings ARE PATHETIC. Even the most rabid Apple-fans, fake "analysts" - people like this slimeball Mossberg - who often sit on the board while posing as tech-journos in big papers and sites, even they agree that Apple has to rethink their pricing strategy. Apople has no product to sell whatsoever in the most sought-after price bracket, the $500-1000 range. Nothing for home users (no, Mac Mini is not an offer for anyone wanting a computer, it's only for idiots, an abomination) and especially nothing for enterprise accounts.

4. They almost killed their entire reseller chain and even the remaining ones are fighting for their life everyday, thanks to Apple's disgusting cartel tactics - you cannot lower your prices or you won't get any more, period.

TB3 is an UTTER BUGFEST - DO NOT UPGRADE!

Thunderbird 3 is horrible piece of crap, full of unfinished things, freezes up all the time for as long as 20 seconds, ridiculously SLOW and a lot of MISSING FEATURES - what the heck they were thinking when they rushed this early beta-quality PoC out as final?

ROYAL FAILURE, that is.

First provide basic support for Premiers, with a PHONE NUMBER and stop lying you have one, G

The only number they have is for OUTAGE - everything else is handled by stupid emails which ARE ANSWERED BY A SOFTWARE.

TYpical lame geeks, they thought 'gee, we can just use some sup-dup algorithm and parse the text and pick the most relevant automated replies and that's it' - but no, unfortunately, you suck big time, Google.

If you have a small biz with few people and short on $ and you don't mind they go through all of your emails and docs - because THEY DO IT TO FREE ACCOUNTS - Google Apps is good IF YOU DON'T PAY FOR IT.

If you pay for it you're a fool - it sucks and you don't get crap for your $50/user/year, only some lame AV screening and archiving; the only positive thing about Premier Ed. is its different TOS (no data goes to Google's db from your domain.)

Just look at the phone, see how many buttons it has and how ugly it i"

This is by far the most retarded and hilarious comment here, that's for sure.

How many buttons? :D :D :D Yeah, what SE was thinking! SEVEN BUTTONS TOTAL ON A PHONE!!! OUTRAGEOUS! :D :D :D

Or this:

"The thing that attracted me about the IPhone is knowing that my current hardware will still be valid and I will still get OS update for it for the foreseeable future. Unlike Nokia, Ericsson etc... which seem to produce phones every month. Why not concentrate on one v.good hardware, elegant design, speedy and responsive OS"

Just FYI: Satio has the SAME HW except it's a tad FASTER...

Also Symbian is A REAL MULTITASKING OS unlike YOUR iCrap's SINGLE-TASK-ONLY iPOS...

BTW Ericsson & Nokia has zillions of phones, Apple has ONE - one that lacks several basic functions of a SMARTPHONE.

Man, it was fun.

Random peeks into the kingdom of utter idiots will never cease to entertain me.

The legions of utterly clueless Apple clowns are upon us...

...so it's about time to remind them that NO, APPLE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH INVENTING EITH GRAPHICAL UI OR WINDOW-LIKE OR ETHERNET OR GIGABIT OR DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYERS OR FIREWIRE or anything so far.

Apple didn't invent jacksh!t so far - it was always RE-INTERPRETING existing devices, methods, objects.

Ergo it would be hard both not to copy oand copy Apple - that's all.

C'mon, shrimp on the Barbie, DO IT! JUST DO IT, you pathetic, ugly old midget!

Nothing more than an obvious and rather lame bluff, coming from an ugly, old, toothless midget.

5 minutes guilty verdict a.k.a. "Fast Track" for judges? France lost it completely???

Seriously: WTF???

I hope people will vote all these arrogant clueless retards out at the next election... this is crazy, plain and simple.

@Doug Glass RE: Just Deserts

"Serves the thief right. The rest of you content criminals better take note; you're next."

Well, pal, dunno what "deserts" you're talking about but I can't wait to see your long stupid face when studios will first give up this retarded, losing fight and then disappear entirely.

What will you, paid shills and clueless mouthpieces do then? Cry? :D

OPERA = typical WHINING PoC company needs to head back to rethink their business model

Seriously, I am no fan of this giant, slow-moving, utterly incompetent, disgusting fat whale called Microsoft but OPERA NEEDS TO STFU AND GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD instead of always running to the referee that someone else cheats/plays better/etc (interestingly Firefox managed to BEAT OPERA, despite coming out of nothing.

Your latest "host from your own desktop" feature is the most nonsensical, awkward utter BS I've seen in long time - in 2009 (plenty of free hosting, big and small, including all the cloud-based Live, Google etc accounts) it makes even LESS sense than ever before.

Stop freakin' whining and make something desirable - your mojo is OLD, Opera.

If you don't have enough devs/balls then just quit the desktop market and focus on the mobile one - over there at least you are better than almost anyone else (though with its current feat set like built-in Flash support etc and their dev speed Skyfire will hand over your @ss in a year if you keep whining instead of innovating.)

Seriously: just come clean, TBP...

and say it: "I chose the big TV, the refrigerator etc" (Trainspotting) - you wanted MONEY over fame, period.

Stop BSing about it - you guys sold it out and that's all. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you can admit it - it only becomes pathetic when you try to dress it with some cheesy BS talk about higher purposes etc.

RE: Cool?

"surprised more phones don't have that feature"

You mean pasting phone numbers...? Actually ALL phones can do it EXCEPT THE iCrap.

Even the latest iteration - 3GS, that is - isn't even on-pair with most smartphones out there, let's face it, when it comes to average "advanced" features - AT&T is indeed the PATHETIC and GREEDIEST PoS COMPANY with the SLOWEST fake-3G network it's also true that iPhone truly lags behind MANY smartphones (SonyEricsson, HTC.)

RE: keyboard and touch

Whoever claims these two are redundant is a hopeless iTard with non-IT and non-business profession (= no real need for typing.)

A QWERTY is ESSENTIAL for me - it is one of the reasons why I never considered buying an iTard phone (others are single-tasking only, retarded iTunes-only syncing, complete lack of average features that were average two years earlier already etc.)

32GB cache?

'(...)but the cache runs up to 32GB(...)"

Sweet Jesus, gotta get few of these..! ;)

Garner et all is full of it...

...and anyone works in this field knows it very well.

these so-called "IT analysts" are sometimes almost as clueless as financial ones - and that's something.

All these companies are nothing more than paid mouthpieces/rent-an-analyst whores, usually zero or little clue for actually forecasting anything beyond the most obvious.

@Jimbo RE: Windows CE on ARM

EVERY Windows Mobile version (formerly known as PocketPC, CE etc) runs on ARM - it it its #1 INTENDED platform.

However Windows != Windows Mobile hence Ozzie was somewhat right - OTOH it clearly shows he still can't really grasp what's the picture out there...

Classic Dell...

...behavior: just does not get it, hopelessly clueless. If one is forced to look at the moe expensive yet less featured 10" instead then that person will stop looking at Dell and turns to other, cheaper and more OS X-friendly brands (eg MSI Wind, Gigabyte etc.)

Dell is still just a stupid beancounter-led company, period.

It is probably the WORST HYBRID DRIVE EVER, plain and simple...

So we get the electric drive of the Toyotas and the high-mileage of diesels but it actually never be either, let alone the issues of transitioning from RWD to FWD when you hit the pedal and jump, say from 20 km/h to 60 km/h...???

And one would think AWD is rather a must, especially in the North...

I think someone has a loose wheel at Volvo - it is an idiotic approach as it's described in this article, indeed.

RE: berating MS and other silly accusations...

"What I find irritating is the number of people who berate Microsoft for everything they ever do on the basis that they're a successful company, regardless of the positive progress they're making and the quality of the actual products."

Yeah because MS became a successful company through their awesome products, right??NOT.

They used the most disgusting, mob tactics for DECADES, corruption and monopoly were the two main ingredients and now their MAMMOTH operations are all end up as a royal F***UP - witness every software, hardware or services product rollout, every beta release, their website etc etc etc.

Majority of their product and services are still a MESS, a PITA to use, even just to activate their subscription-based services is a COMPLETE JOKE (any MSDN or licensing administrator will concur.)

Microsoft lived long enough in its bubble ot become this GIANT MESS it is now and with this useless-clueless, chair-throwing arrogant spoiled fat kid, this completely ignorant (he can barely use Office) and unscrupulous, immoral, snuffling whale, this lying beancounting pr!ck at the helm (Ballmer, that is) they can only go DOWN, you don't have to be an augur to foresee this.

I HATE Adobe as a company more than MS - Adobe is a TRUE MONOPOLY - but MS is such a cluster**** at every level... my utter distaste is based on experience.

I truly believe that no sane person will rely on this PoS called IIS, period. Had you ever managed enterprise websites you'd know this - IIS makes ZERO SENSE unless someone (MS) hands you over the entire architecture, services and support for FREE, for "marketing (->the word comes from "MARKET-corruptING) puposes.
