The Nation of Macintosh?

Posted by michael on from the suits-would-be-a-good-start dept.

Devon Avenger writes "A new short British film has been released according to this article at Wired depicting a cult of Macintosh fanatics who are organised in a manner reminiscent of the Nation of Islam."

    Yeah man, I'm with you. On all fronts. I frequently am upset at the moderation (hey, they're monkeys on a keyboard.)

    Its to the point where I know that If I say something pithy I'll get modded up to +5 funny, however if I try to bring real depth I'm redundant, troll, flamebait, etc.

    I'm also with you cuz I have a powermac 7200 dual booting into linux.

    but the conclusion? You find a web of people who have something to say- you click 'em as yr friend (little green ball/blue ball) and you establish your own meta-slashdot. And you read their journals.

    The rest of this slashdot is idiots who don't read the article and post simply to see their posts in a public forum, first posts with goatse links, and player-haters.

    Slashdot sucks. make your own slashdot.

    Since the inception of apple.slashdot.org, anytime you post anything that is slightly negative towards, Apple, OSX, or Steve Jobs you get modded down as troll. Honestly if I had mod points, I would mark your original post overrated, because it regurgitates the same crap about Apple being a movement, and people putting you down because you have a mac, that is complete bullshit. The main problem on /. is people modding you down if you don't blindly worship apple.

    Here and here I got modded -1 troll because I don't kiss Steve Jobs ass.

    Oh, you're real tough there, AC.

    It is quite unfortunate that most people are so completely ignorant or processor design. That is one of my sticking points.
