Think Secret is finally gone. I can’t say that I’m surprised or that I’ll miss it.
There seem to be quite a few people out there arguing whether or not the publisher, Nick Ciarelli, was a journalist. I don’t think that’s the point really. For argument’s sake we’ll just say he was. Then the question becomes [...]

My article submission for Gizmodo

Filed under gizmodo, humor, offensive.
It looks like it’s pretty easy to get an article on Gizmodo — just pay them! Since I don’t have any money, I propose Gizmodo ask AMD for some money to publish my submission. I’m only asking for 25% of whatever they can get from AMD.
Title: Whatever you do, don’t get a Core 2 [...]

Gizmodo (or Nokia?) trashes iPhone.

Filed under gizmodo, iphone, rant.
I first noticed that Gizmodo trying to pass off ads as content a few days ago when they were pushing an old, possibly discontinued, TomTom GPS.
Then today they post this little ad telling you why not to buy an iPhone.
It is almost indistinguishable from the two actual stories below it (in all honesty, I’m not [...]

After reading the comments and some other posts on the web about similar issues I began to think it might be expected behavior, but I always questioned it…

Macs really do cost more

There’s an unfortunate trend in the Mac community to lie or bend the truth when talking about Macs. A common claim is that Macs and PCs cost the same… or that Macs include more so they cost more. The truth is that a PC configured identically to a Mac will almost always cost less than [...]

Dells being advertized with OS X wallpaper

Filed under ad, dell.
For a while Dell has been showing it’s screens with an image strikingly similar to a background provided with Mac OS X.
In a recent Costco ad they’ve just gone ahead and used Apple’s image.
In all fairness to Dell, I doubt they produced this artwork. It was likely produced by Costco’s art department… on a Mac. [...]

Apple a Vista OEM?

Filed under rant, vista.
Let me just start by answering the question — no, Apple is not a Vista OEM. To see Paul Thurrott tell it you may very come to the conclusion that they are. I’ve seen him dig down the source of a story to see how facts get twisted and now I’m going to give him [...]
