Apple Bashing

andrew: its already out
me: they annoucned it at macworld
andrew: but they're so retarded
andrew: i was all like, yay, mini ipod, like, 1000 songs, its gotta be like 100 bucks
andrew: they make it 250$
me: yah
me: its dumb
me: the thing is
me: thats how much the hd costs
andrew: pay $50 more and you get one that holds 10x more songs
me: so they'r not "ripping" ppl off
me: per se
andrew: yea but the whole point should've been to make it more affordable
andrew: http://www.apple.com/ipodmini/
andrew: im gonna get the pink one
me: hee hee
me: you would think that was the point
me: its not really
me: its part of their secret plan to give everyone an ipod
me: and then enslave them
me: force us to use quicktime
andrew: and itunes
me: and mac os 9
me: no! anything but os9!
andrew: lol
me: i'd rather die first
me: worst os ever
me: i remebr using it in the lab at school
me: i'd be like... my thing isn't printing
me: "oh, thats cuz you have too many windows open, close some"
me: 5 min later
me: still not working dude
me: "oh, you have to close EVERYTHING else"
me: oh
andrew: the only things i like about apple is OSX's interface (minus the sometimes kiddy looks) and its ipod
me: that's dumb
me: "yah"
andrew: oh oh
andrew: have u seen any apple switch spoofs
me: iv seen the rvb one

me: i just tend to unplug it
andrew: same thing i did
andrew: tried pushing and holding the power button, it just sleeps
me: i kno
me: apple sux
me: no matter what they do
me: they will never win my respect
me: even tho osX is decint
andrew: "you run to the store to get a copy of the mac version of norton utilities, you run back, only to have norton go "YOU IDIOT, YOU OWN A MACINTOSH, THE FILE IS GONE, ITS JUST GONE!"
me: yah
me: hee hee
me: and then he kicks it
andrew: lol i like his rant on the dock menu
me: yah
me: i can't stand the dock
andrew: this guy made a dock menu for windows
me: i don't know why everyone likes it
andrew: and its such an exact replica that apple got him to stop distributing it for download
andrew: it was neat when i first saw it
me: yah, i know some ppl who use it
andrew: cause u know
andrew: its like, a bar
me: ooh, it animated
andrew: and its kinda transparent
andrew: and it ZOOMS
andrew: ...WHOA
me: yah
me: i was excited for a whole 2 secs
andrew: but u never see that kinda stuff on windows
me: cuz its lame
andrew: so ur all like, O_O
andrew: lol
andrew: i actually got the dock for windows
andrew: man does it suck
andrew: i dunno, it just doesnt work in the windows environment
me: its a cheap rip off of the taskbar
me: it just has lousy icons that "dance" when it wants something
andrew: oh man
me: and then you click it, and it jumps around goin crazy as if let off a leash
andrew: those icons are great
me: what a waste of resources
andrew: its so fun to play around
andrew: like, even the login screen
me: the hundred or so cpu cycles it uses up could be better used to fold protein
me: what do you expect from a system designed by artists
me: so counter intuitive
andrew: lol, if u enter a password wrong, the freakin login window shakes back and forth likes its saying WRONG
me: yah
me: its like
me: oh no, you hurt me w/ your wrong password
me: now i'll cry about it
andrew: lol
andrew: that would be hot
andrew: they gotta put that in the next version
andrew: actually have tears run down the side of the window
me: system requirements for osXI
me: hose
me: so whenver it "crashes"
me: or just doesn't like what you'r doing
me: it'll cry
andrew: lol
andrew: and have it get all angry and stuff, and if you piss it off, itll just shut down
me: and it'll pout
me: it won't let you turn it back on until you bring it flowers and apologize
andrew: like, "DANG IT WHY ARE YOU CLICKING SO MUCH STUFF, I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE"
me: stop typing so fast! it hurts!
andrew: haha, or until you reach for the power plug and it starts screaming for your mercy not to kill it
me: oh, i saw you trying to hit the "right" mouse button, you were out glavantion w/ "windows" wern't you! jerk!
andrew: hahaha
me: and it'll call you a slut and go screw the ipod behind your back
me: putting all the songs IT wants to hear on it
me: and errasing yours
andrew: hahaha
me: and it changes all your files to gay porn
me: so when you go to that IMPORTATNT meeting
me: you see guy on guy action and get fired
me: and somehow, it'll be YOUR fault
andrew: and then itll snicker at you
andrew: late at night when ur working on a project
me: stupid mac
andrew: that would be great
andrew: we should send these suggestions to apple
me: ha haa
me: i can see the email now
me: "obviously, you have not learned the intricacies of using a mac. it is much like pleasing a woman: a mystery. thank you, please jump off a cliff now"
andrew: haha
andrew: we see what direction u were looking towards in the development of OSX, heres the stuff we thought of to expand that. please, make it more like u turn on your computer to play with a little kid
andrew: and make more ipod-like stuff so OSXI can indulge in the pedifile desires it has
me: hee hee
me: those jerks
andrew: u know theres an apple rep at compusa
andrew: we could give him the letter
me: hee hee
me: we can take him hostage!
me: until our demands are met
me: we want it to come w/ a hose!
me: and water accessory that you have to pay 100$ for
me: and is absolutely necessary for operting the mac
me: do it, or the rep gets it!
me: no, not the context menu button
me: antyng but mouse2!
me: anything but that!
andrew: haha
me: we concede to all your demands
andrew: or, or just buy an imac, then run back into the store as fast as we can towards him and kick the mac like we were trying to make a field goal with it...then be like SCORE!!!!!!!!
me: haa haa
me: somehow, we need to work in thermite
andrew: thermite?
me: yes
me: everything is better w/ thermite :)
me: its like sugar
me: or salt
me: goes w/ everything and makes it better
andrew: i see
me: http://www.thecatalyst.org/other/thermite/
andrew: we could buy a mac and open the side and just pour a ton of that into it, and be like "LOOK, artistic!"
me: hee hee
andrew: lol, i was just at that site
me: haa haa
me: good old google
me: i am lucky
