MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Just like Kerry, you might say. He was a winner before he was a loser. Yeh-heh-hehehessssss.

Okay, I keed de horse-faced among us.

"completely unscientific and highly opinionated picks"

That label kinda sounds like....Well, it sounds a whole lot like MDN !!!!

The words for today are... The pot calling the kettle black.

And once again . . . yeh-heh-heh-heh-hehessssssss . . . First Post.

Memo to all you other nerds: I RULE de nerd kingdom!

Hey Dan,

How if were to get into your computer and posted your goofy article 2 weeks before your magazine goes to print all over the internet. Then your magazine would maybe say to you: "Hey Dan your article is OLD news, we don't want it anymore."

How'd ya feel?

In honor of Triumph (and so he doesn't have to say it):

I poop on Dan.

Wait....Apple is a loser because it likes keeping its mouth shut? Because they want a little privacy?

Then I think that every PC user on earth should be a loser (more than they are already) for wanting their >OWN privacy.....hahah (that was corny)

I think 2 wins cancels out a loss that shouldn't be a loss in the first place; putting Apple in your article 3 times is a good way to make people read it, however.....

WhoCares (aka AssHat):

The descriptive phrase, "completely unscientific and highly opinionated picks," was written by PC World's Dan Tynan, not MacDailyNews. That's why MDN used the quotation marks, in case you're wondering.

MDN MW: "Always" read the full article before commenting.

M$ gets bad publicity daily, doesn't bother them one bit.

“The first Intel-based Macs should debut at around the same time as Windows Vista”

In which alternate reality?

He got it all right. This is a good article. Apple is a LOSER for the way they handled the rumor sites. But listen, a PC mag is giving kudos to Apple WHERE IT COUNTS.

SWEETNESS.

i didn't know vista was coming out in january when the new intel macs are???

Vista is currently scheduled for release January 2007. Of course an official final MS release should always be considered a beta release by anyone actually brave enough to buy the software.

""completely unscientific and highly opinionated picks"

That label kinda sounds like....Well, it sounds a whole lot like MDN !!!!"

It's missing an "r".

Of course I'm referring to MDN as a whole, not the man behind the curtain.

It does not matter when Apple releases anything, because everyone in the Real IT World is instead preparing for the next development in Trusted Computing: the Windows Vista platform and the .NET domain. In the meantime, the Apple faithful should prepare their excuses for when they are surpassed yet again by the better technology.

Being labeled a loser because you are upset that your employees don't honor their confidentiality agreements, is not a fair label.

Some Apple employee's palm is getting crossed with major cash. I don't blame Steve, I'd go after them if it was my company and my secrets.

Apple is NOT a loser for trying to keep its product strategy secret. I dont understand why people don't get this. OOh they are picking on this kid. Well, if you are gonna stick you neck out an publish stuff like that on the internet then you suffer the consequences if you post confidential information. Besides, what they were really after were his sources, but that fact seems to be lost on most people who didn't even read past the first sentence of the story.

Hey Sputz, I work for a Fortune 25 company. We told Bill Gates to take his .NET and stick it up his ass. It's all Websphere, J2EE, and Unix. Not a big leap to OS X from there, is it?

So much for your "better" technology!

MW: "Was" as in Microsoft was something in the olden days.

Apple is NOT a loser for trying to keep its product strategy secret.

Apple IS a loser for trying to extend its confidentiality agreement with its employees to a 3rd party. This is classic legal bullying--a bad case but with an army of lawyers against a student fan, they thought they could get poor Nick to cry "uncle."

I hope they lose. If Apple has a problem with its employees leaking information...well, then...Apple has a problem. Nobody else does.

Apple accomplished what they were after--now, any website/blog will think twice about publishing inside info unless they're wealthy enough to hire an army of lawyers to fight Apple legal department! (Most blogs couldn't afford it, obviously.)

If Microsoft had a quarter of the number of innovations Apple has, we would be drowned in an avalanche of Microsoft publicity - and they'd encourage all the rumours too!

Apple WAS right to shut down on rumours if they felt it would disadvantage them.

I want Apple to succeed mightily, and I want more fresh thinking and new soft and hard products from them so as to catch up on the lost time we've had when the world was mistakenly focussing on Microsoft as our great innovator...

Winner/Winner Apple Computer. The rumor site legal dealings have been going on since they started. The would put up a sensitive rumor and Apple's lawyers will tell them to take it down.

Apple is a winner on all counts. Stock up 103%. iPods selling like you could not believe, iTunes selling music and now videos like you wouldn't believe,Mac sales are up, Education contracts are up, even sales of Xserves are doing way better. OSX Tiger is a major hit along with iLife.

And now we get to look forward to intel Macs, another minor tweak to Tiger, and then later another big OSX update to Leopard.

I would say Apple has had a really great year with another one lined up to come.
