I’m just saying. :)
Bernie Madoff is still living a life of luxury.

So that makes both the messiah(Obama) and Satan, right???

Of course he's a Mac user, how else did you think he was able to steal $59 billion by himself? It was all the extra time not lost to Vista ;-)
@Ocean - What's your point? Paul didn't deny using a Mac...he pointed out that Satan (Madoff) uses one as well.

What I conclude from a list of Mac users (or Windows users) is that I conclude nothing. Some Mac users:
Madoff
G. Gordon Liddy
Rush Limbaugh
Al Gore
Lauren Bacall
Tom Cruise
Whoopi Goldberg
Tom Hanks
Dolly Parton
Tom Brokaw
Roger Ebert
Conan O'Brien
Rosie O'Donnell
Tom Clancy
Spike Lee
George Lucas
Oliver Stone
Cyndi Lauper
Troy Aikman
Sir Roger Banister
Mikail Gorbechev
Paris HIlton
Paul Thurrott
If there is a pattern, it escapes me. But putting Paul next to Paris was kind of fun.
And, I should add that while he does the rest of his life in prison--and may he rot for a long time---it would be better to force him to use Windows :) than to take his computer away completely. I'm thinking Window ME would be the best one.
It was the only laptop he could find that would run Windows reliably.
Sure, you could say Madoff uses a Mac, and the richest man on the planet uses Windows, but that wouldn't show us how much usability work has been put into either.
No, for that you have to read development blogs outlining research, and why decisions were made. Oh wait.
"It was the only laptop he could find that would run Windows reliably."
It's hard to find anything else when you shop in hell, AKA the Apple Store.

Yes, with sales of $4,700 per square foot in 2008 (the highest in the country) they're the most successful consumer electronic stores on the planet. Such misery.
Go back to your basement, "Waethorn". "Helper Cat" needs her dinner.
I would assume that he's got Windows bootcamped in that sucker... now that is diabolical enough to be worthy of the devil.

As is typical with most Apple fanatics, they have more money than brains.
"Such misery."
Yes, I've seen the many "geniuses" that work there. (I've also seen the customers that walk out too, but that's another story altogether)

No, he's modded a new UEFI-compatible BIOS for it so that he doesn't need OS X on it.
Add myself to the list of mac users...
BTW Paul is an Apple user not a Mac user. He knows s**t about OS X.
"Waethorn & Robertsjoe: Separated at birth."
But if they were ever reunited, it was cause an annihilation reaction on such a high quantum level, that a worm hole would open up and swallow up the universe.
'No, he's modded a new UEFI-compatible BIOS for it so that he doesn't need OS X on it.'
no chance, if it could be done, thurrott would have surely done it and then bragged up how he switched to apple hardware just to switch back in a deformed way... while apple deposits his paid 'apple taxes' in their account. And then the world would start all over the next day. crazy.
"no chance, if it could be done, thurrott would have surely done it and then bragged up how he switched to apple hardware"
I didn't say it's impossible, but there's one thing I've noticed is that Paul wouldn't have the skills. UEFI is open source. It would also require reverse-engineering of Apple's hardware to determine some of the non-standard EFI 1.1 interconnections to the standard PC hardware in their systems - something which is illegal according to their EULA (yes, it is). Someone could theoretically code a new UEFI BIOS for a Mac with the knowledge they'd receive by doing the heavy work. They'd also have to code a custom firmware flash program, or else replace the firmware code in a hacked Apple firmware uploader app. Once it was run, the system wouldn't boot into OS X anymore, but the user could reformat and use Vista SP1 with UEFI support to boot natively off the DVD.
It would certainly be easier to take their existing EFI 1.1 firmware and just update it to UEFI specifications than to code a whole new BIOS for it.
Of course, if Apple actually decides to update their BIOS to UEFI, then the hard work is already done. Boot off a Vista DVD in UEFI mode and nuke the drive completely. If Windows Vista SP1's version of DiskPart allows you to set the hard disk to GPT, be happy in knowing that Windows Vista will install without requiring the leftover cruft that is OS X.
"Confirmed: Windows users have no taste."
What??? Isn't it the exact opposite? Madoff is evil. Madoff uses a Mac. Therefore, Apple is evil. Confirmed.
@Dipsh t Admin: It's known that Microsoft are evil. Google no. Apple no. Others no.
Madoff ain't evil, he is what greed of others made him out to be.
Mac or not, he can afford it.
"Add myself to the list of mac users..."
Oooh. There's a pattern emerging.
"Confirmed: Windows users have no taste."
Sure thing, dude. Tell Gates that taking our hard earned money and spending it on finding a cure for some random third-world disease is tasteless. Ponzi schemes are a lot more civilized and tasteful, of course. Or, mnaybe he should jet-hop from one town to another, talking about global warming and making movies. That's a lot cooler.
" (I've also seen the customers that walk out too, but that's another story altogether)"
You really are a twat, "Waethorn". I feel sorry for your customers.
"Madoff ain't evil"
BuIIshit. He stole the life savings of a Holocaust survivor, for crying out loud. It doesn't get much more "evil" than that.
Will Rogers once said something to the effect of "I'd rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it"
We have mutated into a society where, to some people, the man who sold the Brooklyn Bridge is no longer a villain but is now a hero and, if he's caught at that fraud is treated as a victim whose only misdeed was not being more careful at avoiding capture.
Sad. And hopefully something that's changing.
"You really are a twat"
That seems to be an ongoing habit of yours, losta - call someone names when you can't come up with anything witty in response.
Very childish IMO. You must be taking lessons from robertsjoe.
(Would you like to add a "STFU" to your statement?)
