Why is Macromancer a homosexual pseudonym? I thought it was wordplay on Neuromancer (for you cyberpunks), or Necromancer (for all you druids and alchemists)

Ok – now to crush you all with my mental brawn:
(1) Regarding the supposed “software update” – first of all, Apple doesn’t even acknowlege that this “revolutionary phone” has volume issues, or now battery bugs that are being reported. The proof is in the pudding, and there is no update you tools!
(2) Add in the cost of the phone, remove any corporate discounts, and expand over 2 years and you are paying over 2 grand.
(3) “Woody” – quite an appropriate pseudonym for a homosexual fanboy. Wait, gays ranting about Apple products? What a surprise!
Now all of you go back to selling shirts at the GAP.
I’m a little tired of the complaining about having to pay for a 2 year contract. Find me a smartphone you can use on anyone’s network that won’t cost you $60/mo. without a 2 year commitment. If you get a shorter term, you pay more per month or pay more for the phone.
A mobile phone is useless w/o the carrier. All the carriers basically charge the same, with small variations. You want a mobile phone, you’re gonna pay per month to have one.
AT&T’s plans are actually quite reasonable considering you get unlimited internet/data services.
Boy… this is some funny stuff. I’d love to know the age of th infamous “Truthbearer” but I would guess somewhere between 16 and 21… that’s how he’s acting, anyway. Good times.
Ciao.
lbuschjr:
I can’t hear you! The volume on the iphone earpiece is too soft as shown in Gizmodo’s post this evening!
Don’t feed the troll
Troll is devouring all your illogical arguments… crunch…crunch!!!
@The Truthbearer
I notice in your pathetic ripost to my parry, sir or madam, that you did not acknowledge the error in your comment re: the iPhone’s supposed volume issues.
You asserted that the problem–if there IS one–would have to be fixed “in house” with a massive hardware recall, did you not?
Why did you not address the factual nature of my response, sir, madam, or troll? An inconvenient truth, perhaps? No such recall is–or ever would be–necessary, as PROVEN in my post, so you might evince an iota of humility and confess to your stupidity!
Go ahead, FUDBearer: Humble yourself; it will do you good.
Boy, The Truthbearer sure provided some entertainment this afternoon. Good thing I didn’t have to much work.
Randian – I apologize – it is quite the challenge lowering my intellectual standards to a level such as yours. First, please refrain from transferring your psychological inadequacies regarding your homosexuality upon this board.
Now that we have established that – let us agree that there is a volume issue on the iPhone asd evidenced in Apple’s own boards, Gizmodo, etc.
Now that there is an issue established, I would caution you not to question my PhD in electrical engineering. It needs a hardware update, period and attempting to explain that to you is like attempting to teach George W. Bush logic – let me spell it out – it is futile.
Apparently, I have supplemented my doctorate in engineering with a PhD in intellectual assasination.
Troll says crunch.
Good day sir.
@ The Truthbearer
Why, sir, must you answer every response to your faux cerebral posturings with a reference to homosexuality and George W. Bush? Have you no more “huzzah” in your arguments than that? Frankly, you might want to RUN, not WALK, to your nearest psychotherapist for help with this rather disturbing preoccupation.
FYI: I was loathe to “name drop” my recent Nobel Prize in Physics in this forum, but as a recent Laureate, I can assure you that nothing in your cadre of academic achievement can match the honors my colleagues and I have earned at Bell Labs.
Grovel at our feet, you uneducated swine, and leave your redolent scat elsewhere.
Friends and family that I talk to about AAPL think I’m crazy about investing so much in Apple. This has been so for years. I tell them to Google a 5 year chart for AAPL and then they don’t raise the issue anymore. There are always issues, many pure FUD and some with elements of truth, but in the end, Apple works out the problems and succeeds.
I put my money where my mind says it will pay off and I am now into seven figures — dollars. The future looks fabulous.
For too long I took the counsel of my own fears and played it safe, only to see the bulk of the meager gains in mutual funds skimmed by corrupt Wall Street firms with their “fees”. No more. I do my research for hours per day and can find nothing close to the quality of AAPL as an investment.
We will see how it works out in two to three years. My bet is on the table.
I will address in order of importance, major reasoning flaws in the last couple of posts in this Fox-Newsified Cult of Mac Fannieboyism referred to as MacDaily”News”.
LinuxGuy, your undiversified protfolio speaks wonders about your simplemindedness. Enron performed well for many years, and apparently you failed to learn a basic tenet of investing. However, it is imbecile simpletons such as you who provide me fodder for evening entertainment as I count my daily profits rewarded to me for performing intelligent investment decisions. We will see in three years how it works out for you, I regret that some of my tax dollars will be feeding your welfare habits.
As for Randian:
I only refer to the homosexual analyses of your defective personality simply to provide you with a shred of insight your parents failed to invest in you. This being in the miniscule hopes that you may perhaps seek shelter from your own inadequacies. One always hopes that constructive truths will result in productive outcomes, however your clear distorted mind proves even this to be a fallacy in your case. Your achievements in dishwashing at the Bell Labs’ cafeteria is nothing to boost your corrupted ego as a so-called “accomplishment.” I chortle at your obvious attempt of coherence, and regretfully feel saddened for your parents who made the mistake of procreating and spawning such a useless fetus into the planet.
Hey TruthBeatch,
Seriously, you read like you’re the founder of Palm getting bitch-slapped by the iPhone, or the CEO of Whole Foods that’ just got exposed for wasting your worthless time typing into a forum of mac fans.
WTF are you accomplishing here, you pathetic Post-Every-Hour-On-MDN dedicated worker? Any bear-er of truth would say that the marketplace is efficient, and it LOVES AAPL. You, ya moron, are not efficient and your posts read like you’re a pro at ass sucking any nearby Winblows superior.
@…bearer
the proof is in the pudding
Um… Dude, the proof is in the putting. Makes a whole lot more sense that way. Think about it.
Genius or Ignorance? Hmm…
McFly and Shogun:
I will sacrifice and lower the discourse of this discussion to meet your simian antics:
McFly: Palm is not getting “bitch-slapped” by a device which is far more expensive than its personal information management devices. The iPhone has “revolutionary” battery flaws, speaker issues, and as a real revolution – no copy and paste functions or even a “to-do” list? I think that Palm or Blackberry isn’t going anywhere, as confirmed by Walt Mossberg.
The CEO of Whole Foods can post what he wants in forums. He is a highly successfull head of a company that is doing very well, and you sir, are an ignorant toad with no more intellect than a diabled primate, or maybe even an NBA player. Vista has many more features than OSX does, and its menu system is superior.
Shogun – you sir are not even worth acknowledging. Your failed attempt at a witty retort is contemptuous at best.
What’s a diabled primate..?
“Disabled” – was what is should be. Clearly, your brain isn’t sophisticated enough to understand a simple typographical error. I feel sorry for you.
