MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

WOW

The French. Gimme a break.

"The French. Gimme a break."

What about the French? Don't be so ignorant.

The French. Gimme a break

Okay, here we go... insert your ill-informed, right-wing, jingoistic anti-French one-liner here.

you don't have to be right wing to know the french are wieners

Only a terrorist would stick up for the french macnut. The french are pussies!

The french are also not to be trusted slime balls. They hate everyone who isn't french. So please stop sticking up for them tree huggers.

bag on the french, ha ha, i laugh in your general direction! " if it wasn't for us they'd all be speaking german" poo poo, if it wasn't for the french WE'D ALL BE SPEAKING CHEROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A GOD DAMN EDUCATION!
OH YEAH and after the war, they left! .......um hello iraq!

good point clown shoes,very good!

Ignorant or careless! Spelling is "English", not "english". Good job on the word "French", except those who responded about the "french" and clearly they know more about the world than anyone else.

hey english teacher, this aint school, no one cares about spelllllllling except for the spell check nazi's that frequent this site, i say who freaking cares ifffffff iii msipell somtin, you still get the point rite?

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the anti-French sentiment stems from their refusal to assist us in the invasion of Iraq, yes?

I suppose they were not convinced that WMDs were a real threat.

Who let all the toddlers in to MDN today? Where are your parents to clean up your drool and change your stinky diapers?

{Back to the MDN topic}
This seems to be the most compelling confirmation to date of a new iBook. Good work.

of spelling casts doubt on his views. Yes, Clown Shoes, proper spelling matters.
(Oh, and get a life.)

It doesn't say EOL anywhere in that ad. It say "new model on the way, but not yet available".

Don't believe all you read.

The French were ENTIRELY convinced that Iraq had WMD. French intelligence (sic) backed up US intelligence completely, as did the intelligence services of all other developed nations. The French, in particular Chirac, were bought and paid for through Saddam's "Oil for Food" scam. They weren't alone in this, since Putin, the Germans, and anti-war Brit MPs were in the same boat. The truth stings, doesn't it?
Kate

First of all I intentionally spelled the word french without a capital F. They are not deserving of correct spelling. 2nd of all the reason france wouldn't go along with the US in the war was because they were in bed with saddam along with the Russians and Chinese. The french finally got what they deserved when their own crazy muslim population turned on them. F the french weasels!

and the wonderful germans as well. As Actaully, Nick said.

yes, there are many doubts as to the french and americans fighting indians and the English, yup never happened, in fact nothing ever happened before today, that is if there is a spelling error. nice logic kate, it clearly shows your well thought out view of american history. why don't you get a life. your worried about some one else SPELLING? you need to get laid bad. khjSBdkvjhbASDVKHJB ASD VKHJ ASK ha ha ha drives you nuts.

OK, have you ever meet a french guy in your life?
I visited USA few years ago and I'm very happy because I know that every American people are not as stupip as you are

i guess since it's ok to blame the citizens of france for their leader's folly's then get in your bomd shelters cuz some middle easterner's are coming after americans for W's folly's. and its all are fault, even though i voted for someoneelse.do you see your failed logic right wingers, ie who would jesus bomd

So if this anti-French sentiment is not from their refusal to assist our invasion of Iraq, what is it from?

Let's hope that Apple are really going to pull mew Intel based books out of the hat in January.

That would be really cool. It would set the stage for a stellar 2006 for Apple.

One thing though. We've only seen OS X work on P4 towers operating at 3.6 GHz. How well would the Yonah chips at 1.6 GHz fair? The dual core should help and also the faster bus (667Mhz vs 167 for the G4 books). Hopefully this will result in speedier performance over the current book offerings.

I'm looking for an ultralight to steal the show. Something the frequent traveller or high school kid could really do with.

there lazy, and drunk and smell bad, but i think there funny and have very hot women,great wine, food and have great art and much to contribute, although not before noon. comeone stop hating the french just because they are "french". they have always been that way. we are fat lazy and stupid too, i mean just look at our president, he's no steve jobs.

Just to say that it is not our muslim population that turned on us. Its our poor population (its not a religion problem, its a political one) dont always believe what the tv say and stop to be rasist.
And sorry for my problems to write in american but its not easy.

Merry chistmas to you all and good macintel new year...

it's clearly left over hatred from "faux news" war on everything and everyone. the french used to be our friends,remember....... now all the sudden they are evil, what cuz they took sadam's money, oil ,biz etc........PLEASE, like the usa doesn't have bloody fucking hands on nearly every continent, country in the world. we propped saddam up, don rummy shook his hand after he gassed the kurds, stop fucking lying to your self KATE. America has killed more innocent civilians worldwide than the french could ever dream of, depleted uranium shells, carpet bombing, torture rooms, Willie pete, death squads in south america, god dam the list just keeps on going, but no, wait bill-o-lie-ly said we should hate the french cuz.... um.... they knew about sadams weapons too, the ones he um did not have actually, but he did, i swear, he hid them...........in france. yeah thats the ticket.... yeah just like bush knew OSAMO BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE INSIDE THE US USING HIJACKED AIR PLANES and did nothing, NOTHING!!!!!! WAKE UP KATE. I FART in your general direction ignorant right wing mac user's. i thought using a mac made you smarter?
ps. using spell check makes me LOOK smarter but it doesnt MAKE me smarter!

You're right when you say that we can found stupid people everywhere (my girlfriend think that I am stupip and she's probably right).
Our president Chirac don't want to do the IraK war for bad reasons (make money with Sadamm)
But don't think that W Bush reasons to do this war are more beautiful...

So... what about bying a macintel in January

Will we have Powerbooks?

I am French, and I do not steenk.

Screw you, you uneducated Amerekahnz.

SCREW YOU, I say.

F-ck the French government. And f-ck MOST of the French people, too -- since their government is a direct reflection of their wishes as a people.

Buncha lazy, do-nothing layabouts. They'd be at home in Appalachia.

The French military. French intelligence. French hard work. French conviction. French ethics. French toast. French fries.

They're all oxymorons. And the French are too.

"the frog" -

Don't worry about this too much. Many people in the USA still (incredibly) think that there was a connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Many people here don't even remember that our case for invasion was "officially" justified by the threat of WMD, since they seemed to conveniently forget about all that when there turned out to be no WMD and no connection between 9/11 and Iraq.

The anti-French sentiment is based on fear and confusion, nothing more.

I still remember where the statue of liberty came from.

Bizarre quand même, C'est une pub d'un site anglais traduite de la française.

Et je suis même assez confu merci, pourquoi ces gens sont si ignorants, ne savent-ils pas que tout les Français ne sont pas originaire de la France.

do it moderators delete now

Moderators....? Hello..... moderators?? Are you there or not???

I read this site for the information about Apple and their products.

I don't come on here to be forced to read racist, childish, uneducated drivel - from jingoistic, knuckle-dragging, morons - who can neither spell, nor understand basic truths such as: The president lied to Congress and lied to us about the mythical WMDs, and is continuing to lie to us now.

Bush has now crossed the line by committing actions specifically forbidden by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Passed in 1978 after the Senate's Church Committee documented in detail the Nixon administration's widespread use of U.S. intelligence agencies to spy on the anti-Vietnam war movement and other political dissidents, FISA "expressly made it a crime for government officials 'acting under color of law' to engage in electronic eavesdropping 'other than pursuant to statute.'"

So please.... all you flag-waving, zealots out there, watch out. Our precious liberty is being sacrificed on the alter of so-called 'security'. The French had it right, the Germans had it right, the Spanish had it right... in fact almost all of Europe was against this debacle in Iraq. Maybe opening your eyes might help.

Moderator, please moderate this site. Overt racism, like the above should be stopped. That's you jobs guys. Please do it and remove the racist posts!

bannerate:

sadly, the only people in here who will understand you will have a bit of an education, and they are not the racist ignorant ones.

I like your point that not all French people are from France.

Anyways, the "conservative" people (what are they conserving??) here tend to resort to name calling when they disagree with someone. Don't take it personally.

Hey, Nick -- Ha ha ha! Good one.

Now try and recollect that EVERYONE -- Democrats AND Republicans -- signed on to the WMD intelligence data.

And THAT DATA was put together by an intelligence apparatus that was systematically hobbled over the course of EIGHT years by that f-cktard BILL CLINTON. It was HIS adminiatration that crippled our intelligence apparatus -- that's why so many spooks left the intelligence services during his administration. Because all he f-cking cared about was getting his rocks off. F-ckbag. He should be EXILED to France.

Of course, I'm sure you also conveniently forget CLinton's speech from '98 wherein he warned the world that Saddam was a threat and he WOULD USE his weapons against others. Or perhaps you've also blocked out Senators Kerry and Kennedy and their claims about the threat of Saddam dating back to 1996!! Check it, a--hole, it's part of the Congressional record.

[Nigel Powers] There's only two things I hate in this world: Liberal revisionists who constantly bash America . . . and the French. [/Nigel Powers]

Hey Nick,

On the contrary, the name callers tend to be either kids or liberals. The kids I can understand but the liberals are just mental.

Nick-elodeon

Hey, I've got a question: Now that there's a German Pope, will the French surrender now or just wait for the Vatican to invade?

i can sell you a baguette. please buy it, i have no job.

I don't believe it's a coincidence that this site devolves into a childish mess during school vacations.

And Antoine, are you calling the notion of France's sovereignty into question? How are they not 'deserving' of correct spelling, or more correctly, usage?

. . . because they couldn't find their assholes with a funnel.

i bet you listen to the mike mallow show, if not you should.
the children's rants are like fool's spinning there tires in the mud. only goes to show how misinformed the public is. nothing is black and white as much as we'd like it to be.
good post charlie, clown shoes

f liberals, f the french, f feminish, and f civil rights. i want thing to be the way they was.

Jeeeessuuuussss.... I guess all the knee-jerk, oxy-popping dittoheads DID go out and by Macs, just because their chickenhawk Führer told them to!

Honestly, I've never come across so many bizarre, ill-informed and downright embarrassing posts in such a short time! I feel sorry for you all.

Oh, and kansas man... judging by your grasp of English, you're already living as "they was." C'mon wingnuts! Let's party like it's 1899!

Sheesh!

While you all have spent your precious time with all that anti-Christian bigotry the Brazilian guy here may have been the only one who noticed that THE NEWS GOT COMPLETELY OUTDATED:

Salut!

Thank you nick and I will not forget where the Mac come from

End of Life....I think maybe they were referring to the current French govt., not some computer.

Hey, don´t forget us Germans in this discussion.
Our former Chancellor signed a mult-billion Euro natural gas pipeline deal with the Russians 10 days before the election he lost.
3 months after ex-Chancellor Schroeder is out of office it is announced he is the CEO of the Russian/German pipeline company (based in tax-free Switzerland) and is getting a salary of over $1 million a year!!!
Talk about corruption and kickbacks - welcome to Europe!

"the frog"

so awesome. you made my day.

=)

Well, looking back it is clear that France was correct not to get involved with the USA invasion of Iraq, since everyone now knows that there was no valid reason to invade that country. Right? No WMD? No ties to 9/11?
