I loved my iPod, I envy my sister’s Macbook, and I’ll always consider Apple products when I’m purchasing electronics. But I’ll be damned if I participate in some lame cult of personality around a solipsistic shithead like Steve Jobs.

Best metaphorical explanation of Windows yet:
… then the Borg rolls out this old chestnut: “Over nine out of ten computer users choose Windows.”
Now, come on. Windows is like herpes. Or genital warts. Nobody chooses Windows. People get Windows. It comes preloaded on their crap machine, and they’re stuck with it.

Or perhaps it was the fact-checker’s day off. From a recent New Yorker profile of film maker James Cameron:
I first met Cameron in April of 2008. “Avatar” was in its third year of production. For much of that time, Cameron had been working out of a couple of hangars in Playa del Rey, south of Los Angeles, where Hughes Aircraft manufactured fighter jets during the Second World War.

There were a few jet fighters operational late in the war, in particular the Messerschmitt Me 262, but Hughes wasn’t building them.can i take viagra Cheap Viagra

I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it’s there, and there’s nothing you can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners. The harder they try to convince me, the more I’m repelled. To them, I’m a sheep. And they’re right. I’m a helpless, stupid, lazy sheep. I’m also a masochist. And that’s why I continue to use Windows – horrible Windows – even though I hate every second of it. It’s grim, it’s slow, everything’s badly designed and nothing really works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I wouldn’t change it for the world, because I’m an abject bloody idiot and I hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for life.
That’s why Windows works for me. But I’d never recommend it to anybody else, ever. This puts me in line with roughly everybody else in the world. No one has ever earnestly turned to a fellow human being and said, “Hey, have you considered Windows?” Not in the real world at any rate.
