the slavish devotion of the mac fag is truly a sight to behold. while pc users simply use whatever is cheap, reliable, accesible, and convenient, with little to no brand loyalty, the mac fag would take a second mortgage to buy an iridescent piece of white plastic. often there are mac applications that are touted as superior by the mac fag, such as editing and mastering music and film. note that these apologists are neither professional musicians nor directors.

truly one of nature's mysteries.

I dislike mac loyalists as much as the next guitarjon, but Macs and Mac applications are in fact used by professionals in the music and film industry. I think it's way cooler though when they build their own setups, like old school ILM (I have no idea what systems they use now).

with computers being such an integral part of society, I find it sad that the computer courses taught in public schools cover little more than typing your name and drawing a circle in ms paint. We ought to be teaching 3rd graders how to use linux.

i was hoping one of these would show up. it made me want to headkick the author much more than i imagined.

'I've purchased seven iPods....' Bloody hell man, do you live to enrich Steve Jobs? Seven?

'I'm also confident that, as I told my mother, AT&T Wireless can only get better. Steve Jobs wouldn't play me like that.' No..... never......'I've purchased seven iPods.'

He finds the phone aspect of the iphone frustrating...but, it's not Steve Jobs' fault. Because Jobs had NOTHING to do with choosing the carrier, right? Urm.

Thanks very much, but I'll wait for a true video ipod and keep using my Sprint phone, which is a PHONE, and has steller coverage and signal strength in all areas I frequent, including inside my own house.

which is a PHONE

f'real. i had the idea before that if i came out with a basic cell phone that was near waterproof and droppable from a height of 6 feet and had good call quality that sold for couple bucks then i would be the richest man in the world. although with all the ringtone business that companies are doing, perhaps i am over estimating my fellow man again...

I don't know about you level, but my sprint coverage is useless.

I was able to watch some very popular videos and chuckle softly to myself while waiting for a smoothie. The Season 3 finale of Lost looked vastly better on my iPhone than on my video iPod—so good, in fact, that it made one friendly stranger gasp.

This was the biggest evidence of douchebaggery.
