TUAW Recommends Joke App

ejdmoo writes "The Unofficial Apple Weblog, a very popular Apple enthusiast site, has accidentally posted (and since retracted) a recommendation for an application called Procrastinatr. Though the original website for Procrastinatr promises to 'efficiently prioritize your calendars and regain lost time,' it gives no real description of the functionality. In reality, the application was written as something of an extensive joke between friends, moving all iCal appointments and tasks forward a week. The author has since apologized and posted a fix for users who borked their calendars. This story once again highlights the importance of making sure something is legitimate before letting it run loose on your system, even if it appears to be coming from a reputable source."

This isn't Apple-hatin', I grew up on Macs (an LC475 to be exact) and they hold a special place in my heart, but this describes a large number of Mac users I know and love (maybe not the love part) "Apple: Think Different... just like all the other trendy assholes with too much money who paid way too much money for a product that they will never take full advantage of and should have bought a 300 shit-pc from WalMart that would fulfill all their computing needs but then they wouldn't be able to pretend they were special". Run-on sentences rule.
