Ugh. Macs.

Okay, so I can't say I've ever had the Blue Screen of Death on my Mac at work. No, I get the shinier, slicker, more user-friendly "Greyed Screen of Death." I feel so much better now. I hate Macs.

By the way, my Vista machine at home has NEVER crashed. Ever.

Gore-Apple Update

A reader has kindly left a comment pointing out to me that Al Gore is on Apple's Board of Directors, and so of course he has a Mac. Now that I think about it, I remember hearing about that a while back. Either way, that fact makes Mr. Gore all the more reprehensible. Ewwww!

I did reject the comment because the reader wasn't erudite enough to avoid foul language, to which I don't care to subject others.

Why is it that attacking Macs and liberals causes their followers to fly off the handle and make personal attacks? It's like they can't handle the criticism. I'll accept criticism gladly--just don't make it foul and personal. That never solves anything.

Gore a Mac Fan

As if I needed another reason to dislike Al Gore, here we see him in front of his Macintosh computer. He's not just a hip, caring, carbon-conscious environmentalist. He's also a hip, trendy, do-my-thinking-for-me Mac fan.

At least now we know what platforms go hand-in-hand.

I Still Hate Macs

It's been a while since I've vented about how much I hate Macs. But every day as use one at work, I ask myself, "Why can't this thing just work?"

What's my gripe today? The fact that the machine won't read a dual-layer DVD.

How long have those things been around? 10 years? Ugh.

Looks like I'll have to go scrounging around the Internet for a workaround or something. What a pain. Macs are very dissatisfying. Much like an overproduced Hollywood blockbuster that looks kinda cool, but leaves you feeling like you wasted your time and money when the show's over.

Why can't everyone just use a PC?

Hi, I'm a Mac, and I've Wandered Into Die Hard 4

I've never bought into the whole Die Hard movie concept, and this trailer only solidifies my opinion of the franchise. But what's even funnier is that Bruce Willis' sidekick is played by Justin Long, famous for personifying the Apple Macintosh computer in the famous ad campaign. Recently, Long ditched the advertising world to foray into the film genre. And by the looks of this film, it could be the worst career move he'll ever make.

Suggestion: Go back to peddling "cool," and leave the worthwhile activities/movies to the PC people.

To Reiterate, I Love Macs

Remember that Macintosh font issue a couple posts back? Looks like it's not limited to iChat.


I guess that doesn't matter. I mean, the fact that OS X is so sleek and cool and swooshy makes up for the fact that I can't read a darn thing I type.

Macs and Monkeys

Just let me vent for a second.



That's what I got when I pasted plain text into an iChat window.

A Mac understands fonts like a chimp understands hydrodynamics.

And a friend of mine suggests that I'm not being fair to chimps. Good point.

Apple Should Pay Me

Then again, after discovering my well-founded cynicism toward Apple, I'm sure they wouldn't.

But I came up with just the thing to sell the iPod to more elitist Mac lemmings: the streiPod.
Who wouldn't want to gaze upon Babs as they listen to their favorite music and compliment themselves on their own fine taste?

Just remember, Mr. Jobs: It was my idea first.
