Public office is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Rather than come to MDN and rant back at stupid PoliTard comments, I’d like to see all the political clap-trap kicked out of here entirely. I can shovel through that daily steaming pile of shite elsewhere. And I do, rest assured.

Here’s the latest zinger from MSNBC:
Mitt Romney ‘deliberately got booed by the NAACP to appeal to white racists’

MDN takes, even these, are far from offering unvarnished honest balanced criticism of Apple mistakes, of which Apple like all companies make many and often.

Do you really think that MSNBC operates any differently than Fox News? How? The discussion here seems to reveal more about the commentor’s personal opinions and less to do with the success or failure of any media partnership.

If NBC thought they needed microsoft to establish a beachhead on the internet, which is clearly what happened, then how can anyone argue that their website isn’t doing a very successful job, as evidenced by site traffic? Entertainment sells. Just like Limbaugh is a very popular radio entertainer — doesn’t mean he knows what the hell he’s talking about most of the time, but his conviction is infectious. So what’s the difference? Two sides to the same coin. There is no such thing as a lib without an equal and opposite con, just like you can’t define “bad” without comparing it to a “good”.

Two examples of many over the years:

yeah, right… just when was the last time MDN offered balanced reporting on Apple?

From “messiah” to total loser, all in less time that it took for him to be affirmative-actioned through college.

Yeeeeee haaaaaaa

You’re a racist homophobe 1-percenter who hates poor people!!!!!

(Emits crazy Howard Dean scream and then head explodes in Pythonesque fashion)

Two weeks later, Ballmer will say that they are just a design point for what their partners Should be able to do with potatoes.

Give us your thoughts about tech by all means, but leave the petty politics alone, okay?

So, here’s what you Libs hate (about my comment and other things):

1. Gallup showing you outnumbered by at least 2-1 by right-thinking Americans.
2. Fox News regularly trouncing MSNBC with abandon, showing ratings numbers that show you outnumbered by as much as 4-1 by right thinking Americans.
3. Seeing both data sets reinforcing each other so nicely.
4. Being awoken from your elite cocktail party groupthink and your echo chamber media choices to be reminded that you’re nothing but a tiny minority generally clustered into cities on the coasts, on college indoctrination campuses, and in lamestream media offices.
5. Having nothing to argue with but nasty, counter-productive Alinsky bullet points.
6. Having your ideology proven yet again to be a total failure, see current lazy WH occupant with only 193 days left of free golf to go. Better pack in the tee times even more, B.O.
7. Your lives: Republicans are 68% more likely than liberal Democrats to say they were “very happy” about their lives.
8. Minorities. Why else would you think them unable to succeed on their own merits? Why else would you consign generations of them to subsistence living, dependent of government handouts – modern day slavery in exchange for votes?
9. Anyone who fails to toe the constantly moving party line (I remember when Democrats hated the government, for example, now they foolishly promote it as a panacea.)
10. You see the writing on the wall and you know I do, too.

The right can beat be defined by the wealthy 1% (aka, rich white corporate folks) who fool the uneducated, rural masses into believing they have their best interests at heart by disingenuously spouting a bunch of evangelical Christian views on issues the uneducated actually care about.

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

They both should have their heads examined.

BOTH liberals and conservatives are minorities, as are moderates.

In other words, it takes a coalition to govern this country. The less extreme you are, the more likely you are to win.

Now, can we get back to Mac & Apple news and drop this political shit?

75% of Americans identified themselves as NOT liberal, making the Left an uber-minority, yet they scream at the top of their lungs that everyone else “SIT DOWN, SHUT UP AND DO AS YOU’RE ORDERED”.

Same thing with “Windows.” Microsoft believes adding “Windows” to the name is a positive. Why did they name their new phone OS “Windows Phone”? The old “Windows Mobile” made some sense, but the new OS has nothing to do with using Windows on a computer, in terms of interface and conventions. They could have gotten a fresh start by naming it something completely different. Well, never mind… The last few times they tried that, they got Zune and Kin.

But my point is, the words “Microsoft” and “Windows” are marketing poison. Does anyone really want to buy a device made by “Microsoft,” running “Windows”? I wonder how many car sales Ford lost, because of “Ford SYNC – Powered by Microsoft.”
