Apple takes Snow Leopard for walk

Rob Welsh
Stop

To all you moaning gits...

...evolve or die. Power PC's can't be supported forever, after all this isn't Windows XP - thank fuck. The 64 bit Snow Leopard will become the professionals choice of OS. It allows backwards compatibility with 32 bit software thus allowing for a gradual third party software upgrade path and allows for more efficient use of GPU capabilities.

Windows is a fucking joke in comparison and don't even mention Blu-Ray, downloadable HD content is the future (just have a look at whats happening with the Xbox and Sky this year) DVD's, like CD's, are almost history.

Oh sorry you can't play games on it, get a console. Mind you SIMS 3 seems to be pretty good on my iMac.

Apple punts batterylicious MacBook Pros

@Pierre

Mind you, you could always buy a really reliable Acer 15.4" with top notch customer support and that super duper operating system Windows Vista..... then again, nah I think I'd rather do some fucking work.

Also if you're car is only worth £1500 then perhaps you should consider the government scraping scheme, if you're from the UK of course.

Russians offer hackintosh netbook

Erm...

"We have designed and implemented a special method to make the computers fully compatible with Mac OS X." - special method - LOL!.

"The company guarantees that all the components - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, video, webcam etc - will work and that the OS will be stable." - guarantees - LOL

The only other line missing from this is "We also guarantee to take your money and never be seen again once we've shifted enough units."

Still MAC OS X running on a netbook - suck on that Microsoft - Windows Vista bahhhhhh!

Fuck the music industry..

..if these pricks incorrectly have my my internet connection shut off and deny me access to a service I use for a myriad of critical work and home related tasks, I'll sue them for loss of earnings and anything else that causes by family increased stress and trouble. Who the fuck do these wankers think they are!?

Rumor rubberizes iPhone 3.0

All speculation...

....personally I hope Apple keep moving forward with this product, as it's second incarnation is clearly no where near perfect. That said it's still one of, if not 'the' most innovative hand held devices around today - onwards!

Film industry turns up P2P heat on Carter

Bollocks

"John Woodward, head of the UK Film Council, also part of the coalition making today's call, said at the conference that 800,000 jobs in the film, TV and recording industries were threatened by illegal peer to peer."

Fuck off! Just fuck off. The reason why 800,000 jobs in the UK film, TV and recording industries are threatened is because they don't have the financial backing of the kind found in America. Therefore they are constantly living on a knife edge.

You need to start using the Internet as a promotion tool, not banning people from it you thick bastards.

Apple bars 2.0 code from App Store

I used to be an Apple fan?

WTF are you talking about? It's not about being a fan, it's about moving standards forward. Agreed it shouldn't be about $'s. Apple should give developers a reasonable amount of time to upgrade their apps. If they don't do it tough shit, evolve or die.

Smells like bullshit to me. What exactly can you run with that, paint and fucking textpad? For goodness sake surely someone has tested this claim by now....

Thanks for all your hard work......

.......now fuck off. Of course I'll still be paid my astronomically obscene wages for consistently making a twat out of myself on stage and for being at the helm during the period when Microsoft sold arguably their shittest OS to date, but hey ho that's how it goes....

..... mines the one with the Vista MCP badge.

Acer nails Windows 7 for October release

Rob Welsh
Gates Horns

Microsoft arse....

Yep, yet again lies and more lies from your friendly neighbourhood software monopoly. I predict a future column will read 'ACER helps nail Windows 7's coffin shut due to users still insisting on XP'.

If anyone buys this crap after what Microsoft has pulled with Vista, they must be thick as shit.

Windows 7 — It’s like Vista, only less annoying

Rob Welsh

Too late

I've already moved to MAC OS X because I want to just work and not fight with my OS everyday. I would have moved to Ubuntu but it's not quite filling all my requirements yet. Also I'm furious at Microsoft for producing Vista and selling it to me for £200, then admitting it was basically a piece of crap, nice one - wankers!

Apple rides fanbois to popularity crown (again)

Or maybe it's Vista!?

Fuck Vista, Fuck Microsoft, Fuck Steve Balmer. Users want software that works, not the virus infested shit that the Redmond tossers keep pumping out. Not only that but fair pricing for education, CAL's my arse, £15000 worth of bollock all every fucking year the thieving bastards.

Ok, rant over.... I'll get my coat.
