This man is propagating just what Mac fans everywhere were fearing: media FUD and lies pertaining to the Intel switch. Article link login: registrationwall@hotmail.com password: longtime To quote some of the nastier bits... Quote:

Oi, you might want to pull at *least* the address; I'm sure there's some sort of rule or etiquette against that somewhere.
That aside, I do agree with you (though somewhat less emphatically). Hopefully someone will come up with a decent rebuttal to put alongside that article. |

Alright... now I don't look quite as much like a vindictive ass.

If he wants to put his own address on the article, I say let him. We don't need to be redundant.

That was the most uninformed stuff I've seen written in a while. Not even worth responding. And, ABB, I doubt ANYone will read this and get turned off on Macs.

Yawn!
The internet just failed quality control. That guy knows less about computers than I do. This is disturbing. Should I send him a disturbing mail, get some sick stuff from one of the dark corners o the net perhaps? Nah. He's probably beyond reason, and the little devil on my shoulder wasn't encouraging me to send him anything that points towards reason any-ways. I'm going to do the dishes now. No more internet for me today. |

God stuff like this is maddening. Someone send the story to Jobs & Co. They'll straighten his senile ass out.

First I laughed, then I cried. If this was Ma and Pa's Backwoods Gazette it mightn't be so infuriating, but this is the freaking L.A. Times! Is it too much to ask that your technology writer knows what Java is?

I'm writing a not-very scathing email to this idiot. He needs to know that what he wrote was totally false.

Really this is on the editor of the Times, too. This jackass has no business writing about current technology when he clearly has very little technical understanding of how things work. He's reviewed consumer grade gadgets and software for a number of years so the editors assume he's knowledgeable about this stuff. Sad.

Coates is a self-proclaimed Mac-head who must've gotten soft from so many years of answering WinTel owners questions about virus protection, ad-nauseum. (he has one or two feature columns a week and one ASK JIM column a week) The Tribune is thankful on a daily basis that the New York Times is having such a hard time, it keeps the focus of them. And they still haven't apologized for endorsing President Bush for re-election. "What's a Canadian farm boy to do?" |

He just seems like a sweet, though somewhat misguided, old man.

Weird...
He's happy about the Intel switch, yet also seems to be happy about the quality of the Mac. He also points out that many of Vista's features are copied from OS X. I want to call him an idiot, and I want to call him a fan. I'm confused.. lol |
