E-Dribble

While I could spend all day linking surveys hosted by entities that hate Apple and skew the numbers in their favor to make Apple’s latest must-have product look like an abysmal failure(ok, you got me.  I linked one), I’m going to pass, if only because they’re not funny.  What is Apple if it isn’t a company that inspires laughs?

Which leads me to this hard-hitting comparison:

This is the kind of fair and balanced journalism that I can get behind.

While all the reputable news outlets were busy telling you how fantastic the iPad is, I felt as if I was doing my reader(yeah, I’m down to one, unfortunately) a grave disservice by not doing my part to explain to the world what made the iPad so great.

Then I found out I didn’t have to, since Peewee Herman has already done it for me.

There’s a lot of technological advancements that fall short of their potential, not because of any shortsightedness during development, but because idiots and lemmings are the first to embrace said technology, causing all future effort to be spent on developing for asshats.

Twitter.  This is definitely one of those technologies.  Let’s not talk about a company that can’t even manage to turn a buck off of the most malleable and gullible of society.  No, let’s talk talk about a company that can successfully exploit those people.  Let’s talk about the iPhone.

Marc Deslauriers is mad.  Steaming mad. Many of you probably aren’t aware, but it seems that Apple has recently begun going to great lengths to thwart interoperability.

Who knew that a company that made it’s mark on the world by dictating which computers you could run their software on would do something like … oh, I don’t know…..  Telling you what software you can connect to their devices on and vice versa.

I’m with Marc.  I totally didn’t see this one coming.

I will go to my grave without ever owning a product designed, manufactured or marketed by Apple.  This, I can promise you.

However, if anything could cause me to trample my beliefs, it would be this app. The police chief, Kathy Lanier calls it a cowardly tactic.  I call it the first useful iPhone app I’ve ever seen.

While she lets us know that the app  circumvents law enforcement put in place to protect ourselves, someone else had to mention that the prospected earnings for the cameras in that region for 2009 was just under $30 million. This of course, doesn’t take into account the increased revenue that the insurance companies would enjoy as well.

God bless the person that developed the app.  Although they are sure to rot in hell for all eternity for releasing it in the iStore, perhaps God will look down upon them favorably for their  good deeds and piss on them when He sees them aflame.

but they know useless when they see it.  To add to this, they don’t mind calling a useless piece of shit… well, a useless piece of shit.

Japan never adopted the iPhone.  In spite of giving them away, they’re still the odd man out.  Why?  Because it’s half the phone at twice the price in comparison to what they’re used to.

I love 419 scams. Unfortunately, the people that send them rarely do any more than change the names of the people giving me lots of money, so it eventually grows tiring of poking some fun at them. It’s been so long though that I was able to enjoy authoring a response.
