Rendezvous, Microsoft And Apple

serendigital writes "MacCentral reports that a BusinessWeek article entitled: 'A Rendezvous with Redmond?' has -- with Rendezvous -- created an actual threat to Microsoft. As reported by MacCentral, it's interesting to note that BusinesWeek's 'Byte of the Apple' columnist Charles Haddad is on temporary leave and this article was written by a substitute columnist."

Re:On leave? Good

No no no. The parent troll was talking about truly meaningful things. Here are some examples:

- Reaching 1 giga-fps in Halflife. Now try again in millions of colors!
- Finally hooking up with that hot Sim next door, and you SimMom says you are finally old enough to start SimDating!
- Downoading 4 hours of that God damn "lightning bolt!" video playing over and over again because someone told you it was Harry Potter (luckily it was a .wmv file so you couldn't preview it you had all 1.2GB)
- Spending a weekend learning about and disabling 72 Windows services that no one besides Microsoft would ever need you to have (dang, OS X only has like, what, 8 services? oh wait...)
- Fighting tooth and nail to keep the latest and greatest intrusive advertisement from taking over your desktop.
- And last, but most certainly not least, let us not forget the hardest meaningful thing to do on a Mac: making it look like a poor Aqua rip-off.
