Microsoft vs. Apple's "Thunder"
jaymzter writes "Cnet has an interesting article on Microsoft's attempt to steal the thunder from the upcoming Macworld show, and also to slap Apple down for not showing enough gratitude. What's really interesting, is that Microsoft supposedly helped Apple 'fix' Mac OS X, and that Microsoft doesn't think Apple is pushing Mac OS X hard enough. Oh, the tangled webs we weave." Strange story. Basically its a battle of PR.
Why is this a story ?
Do we really need to know whats going on behind the closed doors in Apple and M$ ?
Yes, I am angry. Anybody would be, if their "Aliens Versus Predator Movie coming out next year directed by Paul Anderson who also directed Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Soldier etc" contribution were rejected by the over zealous "We dont care about no Aliens Versus Predator - lets talk about PR Battles in Apple and M$" Editors.

My .sig is just an observation. Everybody knows that the internet is the greatest source of free information ever. It is meant to be like the Douglas Adams quote about the Babelfish which said something to the effect of "by knocking down the barriers to communication, the Babelfish lead to more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
In the end, it is just something to keep in mind when you peruse the internet. It may all be true, from the author's point of view, but information on the internet rarely has a link saying "About the Author's agenda".

If you follow links from Microsoft's 802.11 announcement to other related articles (Toshiba's entry into Wi-Fi, and an article on Boingo), you'll eventually reach the site for Boingo, the latest Wi-Fi ISP.

Go to http://www.boingo.com/ and one of the featurs of their software that they advertise is the capability to sniff out nearby APs. It looks like Sky Dayton (Founder of Earthlink) is encouraging corporate users to wardrive.

Migor is angry. Migor has identified a creature worse then the common household troll.
Migor calles them retarded mods. They are evil. They mod down insightful and informitive comments because they don't understand them, or worse, are too stupid to reconize the humor when a joke is made.
Migor is here to help. Migor will keep posting via HIS followers to waste those mod's points so real mods can mod up the good comments. If the retarded mods spend their time modding down the comments of Migor, they can not use their points modding down relevent comments.
And then, upon the day of conclusion, Migor shall eat the soul of the retarded mods. He will have a great feast, and will BBQ the souls of the retarded mods in his mighty spaceship. There will be plastic forks and spoons. There will be pasta salad. Cake will also be served.
I am NOT Migor, only a vessel through which Migor speaks.
The Internet is generally stupid
