| 682032 | 2008-06-25 04:22:00 | Yes. Silently.:thanks You might have to PM me when the lastest and greatest one comes out then. :p It's not the fact that you do it once - every day there's new threads about apple this and apple that, you are a complete troll, and post far too much in a thread. You got banned before for doing exactly what your doing now, spamming the forum. That would be because **** are most often the company effecting the way people (teens and upwards) listen to legally downloadable music movies to rent/buy on line TV shows to buy online smart phones - recent develop software apps for mobile devices etc |

| 682036 | 2008-06-25 05:43:00 | sorry for offtopic, vital, but did you write this blog? blogs.nzherald.co.nz I had a good laugh reading it.. and all those funny comments below :D Not me, that's Mark Webster who used to be the editor of NZ Macguide. He is the Herald's new Mac blogger although that particular article qualifies more as flame bait than as a decent Mac blog. Either way though I guess he will get the "hits" which is probably what his blog contract stipulates. It would be nice if he would actually put up some decent articles as that latest one doesn't really impress me all that much. His first 3 are much better although he doesn't really go into details. He used to do a better job at NZ Macguide. NZ Macguide closed down a while back due to lack of subscriptions and advert revenue. I was going to post the link here earlier but had second thoughts about inflaming the minds of some of the more "sensitive" PF1 forum members :p |

| 682037 | 2008-06-25 05:47:00 | That blog (like the vast majority of such dribble) doesn't even reach the status worthy of an edition of Women's Weekly. That guy needs a new job. WMG could do a better job. |

| 682039 | 2008-06-25 05:50:00 | I think there are more that a few people who have left their comments on that blog post who would agree with you there Metla, as do I in this case :eek: and yes the mythical WMG probably could do a better job. That phrase looks eerily familiar.... Its not with the Herald either:D If that was me I wouldn't have gone for the "flamebait cause we need the ad revenue and viewer hits" option. :rolleyes: However virtually any Mac based article in the NZ media these days would probably count as "fanboism" to some people. |

From the Herald article comments: "It's simple, you and your friends find PCs hard to use because you're not particularly bright" "There's another thing the writer of this blog doesn't realise. PC stands for Personal Computer. A Mac can be a PC, ergo they are hard to use too according to this "logic". Only a Mac fan would invoke the look of a computer in any argument. Computers are tools, not fashion accessories." "You say you've used a pc 3 times, basically admitting you don't know what you're talking about. I've used Macs more than that, and my personal opinion is that Apple stuff is gimmicky, over rated and over priced." "At an office i worked at we had to buy a new $10000 printer because the new Mac OS did not support the printer driver. Try opening a file that was saved on the old OS 9. what a joke. I thought macs were great until i worked on one." |

| 682041 | 2008-06-25 06:58:00 | I think he should have written a much better article to begin with. The comments that you have quoted there beeswax are pretty normal for PC users to post on pro Mac articles regardless of the country you're in. I've seen PC users write about Macs using exactly the same formula to invoke the same response from Mac users... like "I'm a PC user and I have never used a MAC before but I had to trial one last week but I couldn't make it work because there was no right click on the stupid one button mouse:mad: etc blah blah blah" MACs must be for idiots because PCs are for "smart" people...blah blah - same style article with same response from the other side of the fence. Edit: for the record I would love to know what brand of printer that was. |
