Saw this on another forum, but it's quite funny and rings very true in places...a little TOO true, actually. :D

This made me cackle out loud:

Somebody starts a thread on a Mac chat board that asks whether anyone knows of a way to use the new device with some other nerd toy in a way that makes no sense whatsoever. Out of the blue, somebody writes a hack that facilitates the unholy combination and offers it as $39 shareware. Seven of the nine people who actually try to use the hack download it off of BitTorrent and use a pirate serial number. Advocates point to this as an example of how independent Mac software development is thriving.

I clicked the link without reading the excerpt. I read up to the $39 shareware bit and laughed my arse off, thought "Holy shit this is so funny I'm going to have to post this excerpt," then saw you already posted it. It's all your fault Paul! :p

Too... much... funny!

I started to laugh, than quickly realized how horribly true it all is.

Crap, people got us figured out.
