... can kiss my ass. Maybe he'd better fix Amazon's shitty customer service first. I hope he buys defective O-rings when he gets around to it.

Hey, would you mind spitting my spooge into this paper cup when you're finished? Thanks, your mom likes to save it up and drink it about once a week. A little sugar in the blender. Sometimes a dash of vanilla. And some ice. Makes herself a real nice cumshake. woot.
Paul Thurrott is much dumber than an idiot by Anonymous Coward · 2005-01-13 21:53 · Score: -1, Offtopic

From the VILE internet-nexus.com:
"In another moment of unintended hilarity, Spotlight actually crashes on Jobs. Unlike, say, the Media Center demo during Bill Gates' CES keynote, which did not crash, though it was incorrectly reported that way everywhere. "I'm going to get a lot of images here, I ... uh... oops ... I didn't want to do that. I'll show you that in a minute ... [awkward pause and then audience laughter] Alrighty. Yup. I've got a little bug here. [More laughter as Jobs gets the "bong" OS X error sound that typically required a hard reset]. Alright. Well, that's why we have backup systems here." [Riotous laughter and applauding] Only Jobs could get that kind of reaction from a "little bug" that was somehow big enough to freeze Mac OS X completely. And no, you won't see any negative press coverage of this very real gaffe, like we did for Gates, despite the fact that Gates' Media Center demo didn't actually crash. Ah well.

Since when EVERYBODY ELSE got it wrong BUT Paul Thurrott?

WOW!
