Is Apple & Community Evangelizing Into Uncoolness?
kbeischer writes "John Kheit followed up his MacObsorne article, which others have since covered minus the parts detailing a Steve Jobs uncanny ability to repeat his own mistakes, with a scathing editorial damning the most of the Mac Press, Apple's managment and parts of the user base as a bunch of deranged goose-stepping lemmings that are ignoring the costs associated with the Mac PPC to Intel switch. In the editorial, he links to an older article on BOZO (bitter obstanate zealot order) users causing market share loss. All of which makes me wonder, do evangelical users and press help or hurt the popularity of a platform?"
Just do what the cruisers do, just put a sticker on your computer of a kid pissing all over the logo of another platform. A new product for ThinkGeek?
Apple would be #1 in the market.
We should also hope that Rosetta is capable of helping OS X for Intel to run classic OS 9 applications.
Steve to developers in 2002: OS 9 is dead, stop developing for it.
Steve in 2003: You should all be developing for OS X now, OS 9 is dead.
Steve in 2005: Develop under OS X Xcode, OS 9 is long dead
Steve in 2006: I mean it, seriously, just stop already
Steve in 2007: WTF is wrong with you people, stop developing for OS 9 already.
So they say Rosetta won't run OS 9 apps... isn't it time Classic is laid to rest once and for all? You need to step forward at some point.
...and that's all there is to it.
I'm sorry. Could someone please assist me in deciphering this first sentence-like-thing:

I mean, I get the jist, but my meat parser is going apeshit over the syntax.
For too long have we of the linux community suffered alone beneath the iron fist of Dvorak. Finally, our pain is to be shared by a less minority group, hopefully with the consequence that journalists in general will be complained out of existence by the angry Mac bloggerfish of the Atlantic deep.
that must be why linux is rapidly losing market share /sarcasm
That reminds me of Linux zealots on Slashdot talking about Windows
That reminds me of Windows zealots....
oh wait...
nobody really likes Windows.
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
For extra karma, say that with a thick russian accent about how Windows will rule the world, while beating on the podium with your shoe.
And in this cor-nah, wearing tattoos of Apples, weighing in at 45 lbs., with a combined record of 6-12, are tha Macintosh Zealots.
And in this cor-nah, wearing helicopter hats, weighing in at an unknown, global weight, with an unknown record but lots of How-To's, are tha Linux Zealots.
And in that cor-nah, wearing ties, weighing in at an 800 haaaaairy lbs, is the gorilla itself, Middle Management.
And in the fah cor-nah, laughing their asses off, is Microsoft.
Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuummmmmbbbbblllleeeeee.....!!!!
My favorite part of Slashdot these days is all the FUD. I mean, with the Apple-to-Intel stuff, how many more Gross Conceptual Errors can there possibly be in one article??? Come on people! Keep it up! This shit is hi-larious!
