MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

The future looks bright.

Excellent. So if Vista keeps getting delayed, Apple stock will rise so much that Apple can buy all the other computer manufacturers and shut them down. Then when Vista does get released, the only hardware it will run on will be made by Apple, pushing their stock up even higher until they can just buy Microsoft and burn down the Redmond campus in a big Pagan-type victory ceremony.

Sounds like a plan to me. Keep it up Microsoft.

I really amazes me how a shoody, slapped together, stolen, and unsecure OS could EVER have this much of an impact. However, as long as I can profit from my Apple stock, let the lemmings, the blind, the ignorant, and the uniformed do what they will,

Wonder how Balmer's sweat glands are right now..hehe. Come to think of it, he is bloated, uniformed, blind, and ignorant....hhhmmm...

The truth is this, Trusted Computing has been successfully hacked. Apple tried to use it to lock Mac OS X to their hardware and it failed.

Trusted Computing and HDCP was going to be the basis for securing content like Hollywood movies, programs and music to hardware.

So everybody is trying to see what went wrong and try again, including Microsoft which is the cause for the delay for Vista.

Why is it a big deal? Because computer makers are in a slump and see selling content like movies and music as a method to increase their hardware sales to the consumer market.

Actually Microsoft rather take a dump on the personal computing market in favor of their X-Box, they have more control that way with less headaches.

gheem,
Ballmer is not uniformed, they don't make uniforms that size ...


Vista, too late, too little.

Micro Slow seems to be running as usual.

I updated the Vista Perspective to be in accordance with yesterday's announcement from Microsoft.

It is also pretty interesting that a pushback of Apple's WW Developer conference produces a pushback of launchdate of the Vista consumer edition. They don't seen very self-confident in Redmond these days.

MDN is a troll site!!

Just look at those two unsavory pictures of the two most successful and admired people in the world.

And people complain I'm a troll, this whole site is a troll.

I'm a troll, your a troll, we are trolls.

We are the worst of the Mac community, we are army of verble desk warriors without a ounce of balls to do anything if we met a advasary face to face.

We are scum. We are mac users.

Ballmer and Gene Simmons must be related... ewwww!

From the VISTA web site:

SECURITY FEATURES

"Often malware is hidden in programs that appeal to children. To help protect your computer, you can create standard user accounts for your children. When your child tries to install a piece of software, the system will ask for an administrator account's password. Your children cannot install new programs by themselves."


WOW! This Vista sounds so hi-tec! Wonder what else they have invented. I wonder if they've improved the clumsy Start Menu... they have! Now it looks even more cluttered and there is a blatent Spotlight rip-off sitting at the bottom.

Have m$ got no shame?

"We are scum. We are mac users."

Aparently we are also illiterate.

Verble? Advasary?

Glad to see Hooked on Phonics is working for you.

gheem,

You just don't get it, do you?

MDN - I love that juxtaposition of photos. Always brings a smile. Thanks!

Those photos make it look like Bill is lusting after Steve's tongue.
They should get a cameo on Desperate Housewives.

hmmm.... could it be that Microsoft is delaying long enough to add previously dropped features, become more competitive against Google and further harden Vista against running on Intel Macs?

just a thought...

Tempus, Vista will not runs on Intel Macs anyway, at least not without a hack job. EFI has been crossed off the list of Vista features. Looks like PeeCee's will be stuck with a BIOS for some time.

:Nelson voice: HA HA!

Edgeley Exile 43: "a big Pagan-type victory ceremony"

Sweet! I'll meet you in Redmond. I'll bring the pig's blood if you bring the torches.

gheem,

Some people may admire Gates for his tax write-offs, oops, I mean "charitable" donations (with stolen money). But, I doubt even Ballmers' immediate family admires him. His paycheck maybe, but not the dancing monkeyboy itself.

Anyone remember what the original date for this M$ release was? Wasn't it 2004 for Longhorn?

One more delay and we're due for another name change...

Hopefully NOW Apple take the initiative and start to advertise OSX as an alternative to Blista...

"I really amazes me how a shoody, slapped together, stolen, and unsecure OS could EVER have this much of an impact."

It's not the OS that has the impact. The ignorant masses just buy the cheapest or most readily available PC they can, and it just happens to carry Winblows. Most people don't know what an operating system is, let alone that there is a choice.

"The ignorant masses just buy the cheapest or most readily available . . ."

They shop at Wal-Mart, eat at McDonald's, buy tacky throw pillows from QVC, call psychic hotlines, wear mostly polyester, and think Bill Gates invented the computer.

"Com'ere Billy, you little sow, I'll lick it for you real good!"

My suggestion for an Apple Christmas season ad :

Christmas tree with nothing but Apple products underneath.

Show many smiling faces of family and friends.

Through the cozy window you can see a fire buring in the distance. Looking closer at the fire you see the Windows logo in flames and crumling down.

Cut back to the Apple products and the many smiling faces.

Close on Apple logo.

Re Progeny

2002 or 2003

So at that stage [2001], Microsoft envisaged the all-singing, all-dancing upgrade "Blackcomb" to be released in 2003 or 2004, with what we called a coffer-filling release, "Longhorn", to emerge first in late 2002 or early 2003.

The Register

"Through the cozy window you can see a fire buring in the distance. Looking closer at the fire you see the Windows logo in flames and crumling down."

The XBox360 should be used as the fire starter! ;D

Ampar "Sweet! I'll meet you in Redmond. I'll bring the pig's blood if you bring the torches."

Chicken blood. We don't want to exclude anyone on religious grounds

do not hijack my name you silly troll I spit at you. The only post that I made was my first one, hanger57 nice catch of my spelling error.

winblows sucks, all there is to it, so if any of you Micro$uck fanboys want to play, do so in the kiddie pool where you belong.

Ampar & Edgeley Exile 43:

So, will there be virgins for sacrifice?

well now that I have vented emotionally to the person who hijacked my name in a feeble attempt to blemish my tag,

I am grateful for these people, not only does it prove that winblows people must resort to pissing in the mac garden without any intelligent arguement as to why they must hold onto a clearly INFERIOR OS, but also to make themselves feel better somehow that they have insulted someone who does not suffer the same OS affliction WITHOUT the courage to use their own tag.

Guess that just like the OS, winblows fanboys must also steal anything that is apple centric......

Seems rather pathelogical actually, hmmm I feel a theory brewing... anyway keep using your prcious winblows, hope you have fun with BIOS! Maybe someday you too can have EFI, but I knda doubt it.

joewannamac "So, will there be virgins for sacrifice?"

Yep, but we'll have to ship them in from Canada, for obvious reasons.

If they say Jan 07 now.... it means July 07.... earliest!

Bwahhahhhahhahahahahahahhhah aahh aahhhha!

I fart alot.

Richard Branson has agreed to provide the virgins. I'm o.k. with chicken blood. We should bring crying towels for the rats fleeing the Redmond ship since towels were taken away. And directions to the nearest Apple Store although I'm sure many of them are already closet Mac users. We'll also need one hundred feet of rope, one thousand toothpicks, forty-eight gallons of Vaseline, two hundred pairs of Spiderman Underoos, sixty-seven cans of shaving cream, four thousand marbles, all red, miscellaneous clock parts, and a Halloween mask of the Hulk (Lou Ferrigno version). You'll know why when we get there.

Glad to see those "advances" in Apple stock take hold.

Oh wait, never mind...

Ampar

OMG, you're wanting to seduce Steve Ballmer. He's into all that you know. I've seen his website.

Funnily enough, according to NetCraft, it run's on Darwin. How strange.....
