Supply and demand, Tom Cruise makes millions cos lots of people want Tom Cruise in their film, and there's only 1 to go around.
Rockstar didn't want Michael Hollick, they wanted 'any shmuck who can do a decent voice' and there are plenty of those about, if this nobody guy has demanded millions, he would have been kicked out and replaced. I bet they could have found someone who would have done just as good for even less.
Hollywood actors don't give a shit that the creative talents of special effects guys or camera crew don't get rewarded with millions, if this guy wants fairness, why doesn't he complain about all the rest of the production crew not getting an equal share? Fact is, he's just another greedy wannabe celebrity.
Yea, I hear about this cult who worship a 2000 year old zombie Jew and believe they can turn bread and wine into his flesh and blood that then then devour in a cannibalistic ritual. Nutters eh?
Have you seen the design for the m1330? It looks seriously nice, and apart from a bad choice in using touch sensitive volume controls it's a brilliant design. the case is part aluminium, and you can lift then em by the corner with no flex at all.
I dont think you can compare a 13" notebook to a 15" notebook. You pay more for it being compact, but don't worry, cos here's a better comparison: Macbook Vs Dell XPS M1330
I picked the midrange macbook, cos the Dell XPS m1330 doesn't come with a 2.1ghz processor, it goes straight from 2.0 to 2.4, and we all know the macbabies will have a big WahWah if the Dell has even a single spec lower than the macbook, no matter how many the Dell has higher, and has a DVD writer as standard so can't compare to the base macbook model.
the Dell has a bigger hard drive and a gig more memory as standard, the only way I could make the specs identical is to upgrade them both to 4gig of ram, but I know all hte mac fans would squeal, so I left the mac at 2gig.
There's a few differences like the Dell has HDMI and Mac has Mini DVI, but they are both work the same with an adapter, the dell has a finger print reader, PCI Express slot, and a remote which was $19 extra with the Mac, and the Dell has 1gig more memory and a bigger hard drive, the only feature the mac has that the dell doesn't is S-Video/Composite out via an adapter.
Everything else is the same, camera, LCD size, graphics, processor, firewire, 2 USB ports, slot loading DVD writer,
and with all the advantages here to mac, no expensive memory upgrades to bring it into line with the Dell, nor the $100 extra for the HDD, not even the $19 for the remote that is included with the Dell.
Now if i were to upgrade the mac and dell to have 4gig memory and the same hard drives, the dell goes up by $50 and the mac goes up by $300 and an extra $19 if you want to include that remote, which brings the difference to $314. But we know macbabies will cry cos the apple memory upgrade is so expensive.
Now the fun part is now, lets see what extras we can get for the Dell with the $145 we saved:
we could get an LED backlit screen, for $150 extra, but that puts us $5 over, as does Wireless broadband.
We could get Wireless USB for $40, or 4 gig of RAM for another $40, a real bargin compared to the $200 with the mac.
And we could add the best upgrade, a real graphics card, an Nvidia 8400m, pretty good for a 13" notebook, for just $100
Ok, i'll admit, I'm just gloating now, the Mac got slapped, shall we leave it at that?
P.S. In anticipation of the Apple fanbois crying about OSX, and service, Dell XPS come with 1 year on site premium support, plus, with apple, 3 year support is $199, with dell you get 4 years for that much. And as for OSX, you can run OSX on a 1330. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNnGquERlEY
Dell has fingerprint reader, white LED screen, bigger hard drive, with option for SSD, better remote which isn't £15 extra, options for faster processors up to 2.6ghz, integrated mobile broadband option, card reader, more speaker jacks, array microphones, metal finishes and a larger keyboard.
The Dell XPS range seems to be designed to bitch slap Macs. The m1530 comes with almost identical specs to the 15" macbook pro and has some sweet extras like bluray drives that you can't get on a mac, and slaps it on price in every configuration.
The m1330 is even better, it doesn't just beat the 13" macbook, it smashes its into the ground. While the Macbook is hardly top end with pitiful intel graphics, the m1330 has an Nvidia 8400m, and it's rammed with features as standard, the midrange mac almost matchs it for price, but the black macbook gets stamped on by the 1330, which has both the same specs for way cheaper, or far superior specs for the same price. Mac laptops compete better than the desktops, but they still get shit all over.
Sorry, you loose at funny. If you want to pull it off you need the right tone. Try the slightly confused, 'but how can this be, there aren't any bugs in OSX, Steve Jobs said it was perfect, he wouldn't lie to me, Steve Jobs is my friend' or maybe the proud soviet citizen, 'This is a campaign of deception by those pigdogs at Microsoft, their stooges at Psystar are concocting lies against the gloriousness of OSX, all hail Steve Jobs, Glory to the Macintosh!' if your going to do a kool aid gag, you need to set up the cult follower line from the beginning. And you can never start with 'I call BS' in a funny post, start off with 'LIES!' or 'HA! they can't fool us'.
Hope this helps you get modded funny in the future.
And if that fails, just bleat the same 'soviet russia' joke every thread, remember, witless retards get mod points too.
What counts as a snuff film? There are quite a few videos up on you tube of people getting 'owned', where the accidents are so severe you do wonder if you just watched someone die.

can they clone my boyfriend and make him black?
rather that than have Bobo 1.0 chucking his faeces at me from the top of the fume hood.
what do you want, a hyphen in 'pigdogs'?
It's all about timing, I hit it, you missed it loser.
A big tank, full of Nazis. This is absolutely secure for sending anything except Henry Jones.
Ohh yea, well I just claimed the sun, so in about 8 minutes you better pay up.
Maybe you aren't going out.
Omm, why do you think all 70's bikes had chain guards?
Ummm, remember SARS?
true res? well he only lasted 40 days, so that's not really very impressive.
Are you sure?

of course you are completely right. He compared the Mac book to an inferior machine, and one that is not in the same category.
Here it is being beaten on price by a superior machine in the same catagory: http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=558844&cid=23487674

Did anyone ever stick any parts of steller sea cow in a jar and preserve it?

My thoughts exactly.
Spencer Perceval needs to be less notable.
