An anonymous reader writes "Cnet is reporting that BestBuy is selling a porsche designed widescreen ultra thin laptop the looks almost exactly like a Tibook. Sadly, it runs windows so no one will actually want to use one for real work, but it looks pretty cool for minesweeper. Ah, I guess that the TiBook is no longer a status symbol if you can run Windows on it. It has all the trimmings, like those "made for windows 2k stickers" that get the screen all nasty when you close it."

but you don't have to make it that using Windows is the crime of the century.

It isn't? ;)

It doesn't matter if you were joking- obviously you were- it was a fucking retarded joke.

Only retards would use Macs by Anonymous Coward · 2002-10-25 05:31 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Apple makes pretty shit but it's still shit. As far as the bourgeois "my shit doesn't smell" mac users who have nothing better to do but "hate windows"... If apple was so much better they would be windows right now. But no... They rather cater to a bunch of retards that cry because their $499 Compaq POS 98me crashes when they get viruses from chain mails on free Tibet and are now buying $1799 iMacs. Please !

Or, you could just turn the preview option OFF. Just because you aren't educated about how something works, doesn't mean it's a bad design.

I like it. by brad-x · 2002-10-25 06:00 · Score: 1, Flamebait

I think the design of the notebook is stylish (although the two tone thing is a bit off).

For anyone who does real work I think it's a great looking machine, and I'll probably buy one myself.

And yeah, I'm bucking the "waah, PowerBooks are better!" trend. I don't have 4 grand to spend on a 600 - 800MHz computer who's only lead in processing power / overall performance is photoshop filters.

Increased stability? My Inspiron 8100 runs FreeBSD.

Bush Admin killed Democrat Paul Wellstone! by teamhasnoi · 2002-10-25 06:41 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Paul Wellstone (D-MN) was killed in a plane crash today. The Senate will most likely be led by Republicans, since this tragic incident will pave the way for Norm Coleman (R-MN). The US had been focusing on this particular Senate race, as control of the Senate hung in the balance.
War, loss of civil liberties, and McCarthyism, thinly veiled as 'Patriotism' will likely be the result.
Top leaders in the Bush Administration were seen to be wringing their hands, and grinning evilly.

I'm sorry, had I known that instead of thanking me for helping you, you'd instead take the opportunity to bitch about Microsoft, I wouldn't have replied.

So basically you knew the correllation between the Start Menu and hourglass, but decided to point it out in fake confusion to get someone explain it to give you a pedestal to bitch about it. You're a homo.
