Apple Updates iBook Line With G4 Processor

Kyro writes "Apple today upgraded their iBook notebook range across the board to G4 processors, Airport Extreme, bluetooth, USB 2.0, and slot-loading combo drives. All models ship with Mac OS X 10.3, and the 12" model gets a 800Mhz G4 while the 14" models get a choice of 933Mhz or 1Ghz. Prices largely remain the same as the old G3 versions." Mwongozi adds "Although not announced on the front page, the Apple Store was updated just a few minutes ago to show the new iBook."

Think you've got it bad?

This has nothing to do with anything remotely Slashdot related, but I need to do something before my head explodes...

As I type this, my roomate and my best friend/recent lover are fucking in the next room over. WHAT THE FUCK. After 10 years of friendship and built-up sexual tension, we finally hooked up and now less than a week later she's banging my roomate. I am so fucking incensed right now I can't think straight. I wouldn't mind if they went to a hotel or otherwise didn't make it known, but she just FUCKING WALKED PAST MY ROOM TOPLESS AND SHUT THE DOOR IN MY FUCKING FACE. How fucking insensitive can you be?!

This sucks. It's 6AM and I'm telling strangers (GEEK strangers, no less) about my personal problems. I am a big pussy and will most likely not say anything to either one of them so I expect this to go on for a while. Fuck.

Feeling low? There's someone else out there that's having a worse day than you. Trust me.

Holy Shit dude. That sucks.

I have no good advice. Just wanted to offer sympathy.

Just remember - This too shall pass. Then go beat the living shit out of that asshole, and when he complains about the pain, tell him the same thing.

...

this is a serial troll. I've seen this posted like 15 times. Either that, or this dude's roomate is fucking this girl CONSTANTLY.

Sorry, Charlie, but if you got a little bit of exercise, took a shower now and again, and maybe splurged on a few of those penis pills, your fuckmate probably wouldn't have wandered over to the dark side.

Oh well, buck up, little camper. There's always Internet pr0n at such wonderfully delightful sites as thumbnow.com.

I find it strange that people feel so at home being named anonymous coward.

Dear Father O'Day,

Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

Sincerely,

Harry Rodman
Vice-president

Mwongozi, how did you know? Do you sit at the Apple Store hitting reload looking for changes? :-)

consider talking to a lawyer

[green pizza]

Having bought a 900 Mhz G3 iBook just after they came out, I am moved to tears to see the G4 iBooks now.

Yeah, Apple pulled another fast one, making even more enemies and possibly breaking the law in more than a few places.

You may have a legal case here, though I don't think you would get much more than a new iBook out of the deal. (And depending on the cost of a lawyer, it may not even be worth going after).
