I am, now, sick to the back fucking teeth of listening to people fawn about either Apple's latest laptop or their latest Gx or MacOS Y or iTunes.
Please, people, please.
I know you're all fucking retarded, but get a fucking GRIP.
Wake up, examine what you just wasted your money on and realise that far from listening to a hitherto-unreleased Aphex Twin Dodeca-CD, you have actually just chosen to go and buy Evanescence.
Glistening in the corner, like a week old fruit-pastille, a piece of waste pressed into a pleasant shape, settling into your palette like a sugar-coated turd is the latest piece of utterly derivative, dumbed-down faux-alternative by-product, five years too late, twice the price and sold you because it flatters your ego just a smidgeon more than it delights your shallow aesthetics.
You're buying things because they're not MS. You've stopped thinking about WHY you're not buying MS and you've been persuasively cooed and lulled into something that's two major selling points are:
a) It's not as shit as MS.
b) It looks like a fucking SWEETIE.
There are, in this world, many products that MS actually does quite well, and many products that a quick google will reveal for FREE that outdo the mainstream competitors.
And, on the aesthetics front, please fucking wake up to the fact that you are basically paying through the nose so you can have something that, because of its brushed steel and candy composition, reminds you of the fucking 80s when you were a dribbling, snot-coated Wham-fan.
iPods are far too little, far too expensive, far too late. You like them because you think you deserve to be able to afford them, you snivelling new-media ponce.
iTunes is an example of how, if you have the long-term strategy of earning money, you can make a reasonable piece of cataloguing/multimedia software with a coherent back end when the big name competition has missed the boat so totally, purely with the aim of coaxing you into buying things through increased convenience. The online sales thing takes a little of my respect. The software simply succeeds in being less of a joke than the woeful competition.
Mac desktops and laptops look pretty, cost a packet and mark you out as precisely the kind of tasteless shit that likes their uniqueness skin-deep and mass-produced.
Every single version of MacOS out is a piece of shit that underperforms, oversimplifies, misses the fucking paradigm (let alone the fucking decade) and (hate to tell you) *still crashes every bit as often as the NT kernel*.
Wake up.
You're listening to Limp Bizkit.
Apologies to SilverAJ, who (in my book) is allowed to buy anything she likes simply because it's silver, because she has such a nice arse.
Please, people, please.
