Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup
An anonymous reader writes "MacRumors.com posted a massive rumor roundup of all the major rumors surrounding Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference which starts next week. There's been talk of 970 PowerMacs, PowerBooks and Panther... seems like the biggest uncertainty is whether or not 970 PowerMacs will ship or not."
Unfortunately, Taco et al have drank the Jobs Kool-Aide and have become little more than a drooling fanboy WRT Apple's hardware. Thus, they ignore apple's many shortcomings, including price, compatibility, their obnoxious hardware design, etc. As Apple is the last computer maker to head into the modern era with a 64 bit processor -- something other makers have had for months, if not years -- they're trying to generate hype for themselves and other fanboys so they can keep saying to themselves that the money they spent on the crapware from cupertino was somehow worth it.
Marxism is the opiate of dumbasses
I wouldn't worry about these TROLL ALERTERS too much. It's rather like screaming "she's a witch!" when confronted with an argument you cannot counter or a personality you cannot dominate.
Slashdot needs TROLL ALERTERS like it needs Father Randy Pudge.
Worst of all, it's an attempt to stifle the art of provocative argument, which is one of the most valuable skills in debating.
That was classic intercourse!
