Windows 7 Beta Network Performance

Forbes already has an article about how Jobs is bigger than Gates. I don't think Gates even cares anymore. Weird article and curious timing. http://www.forbes.com/technology/2009/01/14/steve-jobs-legacy-tech-perso...

lotsa, haven't you called Steve Jobs Skeletor before? I think you have.

Well, that article's absolutely a great example of reporting in the Lyons' "the other kind who suck up in order to get access and end up getting played and punked" category. Did you know the personal computer really only started with the Macintosh? I didn't. I wonder what I'd been doing in the personal computer business for eight years before that. I wonder what Apple had been doing in the personal computer business for seven year before that. I really wonder who Microsoft had been selling personal computer software to for nine years before that. Well, that gives the tone of the "let's rewrite the world according to Steve Jobs and maybe Apple will give us good seats at a keynote" article. I did, however, find it interesting that they compared Steve Jobs to Thomas Edison. For anybody who has any knowledge of Edison beyond the elementary school "My First Biography" level, it's actually a pretty accurate comparison. I have to wonder whether the author really knows that little about Edison or really does understand Edison and used that as a way to let a little truth into a puff piece while hoping nobody at Apple would notice.

dip: Indeed I have. I even suggested that someone should "feed that boy a cheeseburger". But at this point (my instincts force me to actually agree with Wae that the guy's probably dying), it's just beyond the pale to pile on the insults. I figured the skinniness was just a byproduct of his ridiculous vegetarian diet. I was wrong. I wouldn't kick a man while he's down (although I might make an exception for a certain smarmy Canadian).

I think that Steve as a pancreatic pseudocyst. Heck, I could drain it for him and have him back to work in a day or two. Throw in a PICC line and give him some nutrients and he'll be back in the director's chair ASAP. He's probably lost too much weight and muscle mass to bounce back quickly. I hope it delays the iPhone nano with a pay as you go data plan until my wife is eligible for the upgrade;)

"Not so for Apple, however. The same Gartner report estimates that Apple’s U.S. shipments rose 6.7 percent over the same period in 2007; that was good enough to give the company an 8 percent share of the U.S. market." And in between which lines in that report does it say that people are picking up the 17" Macbook Pro in droves??! More anecdotal evidence from the king of spin. Just goes to show you that Americans are a bit slow.

Wae "Just goes to show you that Americans are a bit slow." So, how's that Canadian OS going?

Wae, I was saving it for myself if the market takes another dive.

Waethorn I tried but they said that office didn't write operating systems and forwarded it to: Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052 USA
