Finger Pointing Over iPod Windows Virus
rs232 writes sent us some choice quotes in the finger pointing over the iPod's that recently shipped with a virus on them. "It's not a matter of which platform the virus originated [on]. The fact that it's found on the portable player means that there's an issue with how the quality checks, specifically the content check, was done," Poon wrote in a blog entry. and "Steve, if you need someone to advise on how to improve your quality checks, feel free to contact me 8)."
When I first heard about this, I thought brilliant. What better way for Apple to demonstrate how prone to viruses windows machines are, than to put a virus on an ipod that only affects windows machines.
Oh SNAP! Steve Jobs got TOLD, son. Damn, that burn was off the heezy, fo'-sheezy! Now he needs to come back with "Yo, Poon. I improved your MOM's quality control." HOT DAMN!
Not sure exactly what you are referring to. The virus infected iPoid? That's easy, somebody got sloppy.
The inane submission (quotes from another discussion board about a quote from a blog getting posted on another submission board). That's easy too, it's Slashdot Sunday!
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
.. when you outsource your operations to McDonalds.
Yeah, Apple should now come out and say how they made huge quality control improvements by removing all Window's machines from their production line and replaced them with Mac's and Linux machines. Brilliant!
The real Sig captains the Northwestern. This one captains
Therapist: "Okay, now it is time to address frustrations. Mac, express a frustration about PC. "
Mac: "I'm really upset that you proved vulnerable to the virus we somehow loaded onto our flagship product."
Therapist: "I see. PC, express a frustration about Mac."
PC: "Mac, Why did you try to get me sick in the first place?"
Therapist: "Mac, maybe you'd better come in twice a week to deal with your anger-displacement issues."

I used to work for a small company that made CD-ROM's
Only after we recieved 3000 copies of our free handout Amsterdam nightlife CD-ROM did we discover that there was a windows virus on all of them.
We simply slapped a "MAC only" sticker on them and handed them out!
Microsoft will ship it's upcoming media player "Zune" with Mac OS 7 (or System 7) viruses, trying to prove that Mac users (of 10 years ago) are susceptible to viruses and that it's all Apple's fault for how they got on there and how insecure the Mac OS really is.
Never monkey with another monkey's monkey.
Hey, it works in FPSs. =)
"Bother," said Pooh, as lightning knocked out hi%#&(F*@NO CARRIER
"As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses..."
In other words: don't blame me, she was asking for it!
You have tried to support your argument with faulty reasoning! Go directly to jail; do not pass Go, do not collect $200!
I disagree; it's very childish. Any adult should know it's "fewer than 25 reports", not "less".
"Common, that's so cheap..."
It's both common and cheap (much like this comment). The great unread mass of kids today. Just another sign of the apocalypse.
As you might imagine, we are upset at Abraham Lincoln for not being more hardy against such bullets, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it. -- JWB
How does a 7-person democracy cut a pie? Into 4 pieces.
Of course not.
Apple wouldn't allow PC QA equipment now, would they?
