Slashdot Mirror


Round 2 of Apple's Lost '1984' Series

webertk421 writes "The second set of lost 1984 videos has been released. This set again needs more mirrors (I still can't download the torrent files). According to the descriptions, the clips include Steve Jobs reciting some Dylan, showing the well known 1984 commercial, and 'Manuals,' another commercial that almost aired instead."

  1. GET SOME PRIORITIES! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    timothy, get your priorities sorted out! Is now really the best time to be posting new stories when you could be dealing with the asshole who is currently posting child pornography links to your website? I knew slashdot was going downhill but this is truly disgusting. When an editor decides to ignore a post so blatantly illegal and immoral in favour of spewing irrelevent tripe like this I know it is time to get a new favourite website.

    Yours in Christ,

  2. IP Theft and The Apple Community by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Linux community likes to hide behind the mantra of free and open
    software for all and as such has the twisted mindset that all software
    should be free for everyone. This should come as no surprise seeing
    that the Linux community seems to take pride in stealing anything they
    can get their hands on and breaking laws designed to protect IP at the
    same time.

    Linux users have been advocating downloading Microsoft True Type Fonts
    for years mostly because their own fonts and font system in general
    has been so horrific that Linux screen fonts in most stock installs
    are almost unreadable. Of course they will claim that Linux fonts are
    great but if that were really the case why is the internet clogged
    with Linux Font DeUglification documents written by Linux users?

    They even have documents that give a step by step procedure for
    stealing the Microsoft fonts and installing them on Linux systems!
    Notice in particular the instructions for the Tahoma font.

    Next we have Linux users violating the EULA for the X-Box and
    tinkering with it so that it can run Linux.
    Why on earth any sane person would want to take a bitching game
    machine like X-box and ruin it by installing Linux is a mystery to me.

    Pay particular attention to the question about it being illegal and
    how they avoid answering the question.

    They are also doing the same thing with Sony Play station as well.

    None of this is going to hold up in a court of law and the Linux
    people who are leading these projects are looking for some serious
    trouble should Microsoft and Sony decide to pursue this matter.

    Finally we have the suit filed by SCO which claims that the Linux
    community at large has incorporated stolen code into it's open source
    programs.

    This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the Linux
    movement from the day Linux wrote the kernel.

    The Linux community has proven themselves to be a fight to the end,
    steal whatever can be stolen from big business because it is big
    business that is killing Linux.

    The Linux community has absolutely no respect for the property of
    others and will resort to any type of clandestine tactics to steal
    whatever isn't cemented down all in the good name of Linux.

    So if you are thinking of betting your business on Linux software, you
    had better think it over carefully, because if SCO should win, Linux
    will be out of business.
    And if SCO should lose, do you really think it is wise to bet your
    entire business on software that is supported by a community that
    promotes stealing and in fact is full of thieves?

    Food for thought.

  3. What was left out of the video by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    What was not shown was the wild bukakke session that took place after the announcements. All 300-ot Apple zealots were creamed in the face by Jobs himself.

    Hard to tell, but are you being ironic, or moronic?

    Thats a bit rich coming from someone who is worshipping a COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENT for a FOR-PROFIT company. I mean come on, folks, Apple doesn't give a rats ass except that you buy their products. Let me restate that:

    Apple doesn't care about you.

    Steve Jobs doesn't care about you.

    The only place this might be untrue is in regards to the amount of money they can make you spend on their product.
