The Windows Weenies are mad (again) that people really truly seem to enjoy Apple products. Even journalists! How dare journalists enjoy Apple products! Don’t they know the appropriate response? Just ask Mary Jo Foley:
…I hear/see a lot more jeers than cheers in the Microsoft press rooms and events…
Umm maybe that’s because they make products so shitty even Windows users don’t buy them? (read: Vista)
Daniel Lyons, a rude and inarticulate fellow from what I can gather, apparently thinks that Steve Jobs’s medical records should be published on a daily blog. If not, the media is to blame!
My personal belief is that if Apple can’t thrive without Steve Jobs Apple can’t thrive. If Jobs is that necessary, they are fucked.
The Apple Blog has a lot of links if you want to follow this silly topic around the ‘net. It’s the same old shit — people do not like that other people like Apple. Some weenies make a living at not liking us for liking Apple.
Me thinks thou doth protesteth too much. Daniel Eran Dilger basically rips them up.
I think the Obama comparison is telling. If you really get excited about something, people just can’t resist characterizing it as some sort of fanboy infatuation. They just can’t give us credit for using our brains. It must be some personal failing on our part.
WRONG. Quality is a mysterious thing but we know it when we see it. And, perhaps more importantly, we don’t apologize for seeing it.
I’m very sorry your operating system sucks. I’m sorry that you are willing to put up with the second-rate Windows Empire. I’m really sorry that Steve Jobs is not dying fast enough for you. Please, dear Windows Weenies, go fuck yourself. Thrice.
