Thread Starter 
I couldn't find another post on this so i'm going to post about this ridiculous video. It was on apple's hot news...tell me if you've seen this:

http://video.on.nytimes.com/ifr_main...44.44979533344

sorry it's a long URL. Anyways, this reporter obviously has no clue what he's talking about. of course vista copied tiger. he says that vista didn't copy spotlight because "instead of being the the top left corner, it's now in the bottom right"

this is just b.s. but whatever. Tell me what you think.

*shock*
They're onto us, there is no way possible... He's absolutely correct.

There is no way Windows Vista could have ripped off Mac OS X, I mean they use GADGETS and a SIDEBAR!! I think we can establish that they really ripped off Google and Google Desktop

Um.. you did notice the Sarcasm in that video though right?
If not I would like to have a little more fun with this

Tell me what you think.

Haven't been around Macs long, have you?
"That reporter", David Pogue, has been using Macs since they came out.
He's written 29+ Mac books including;
- iLife '05: The Missing Manual
- The iMac for Dummies
- iMovie 6 & iDVD: The Missing Manual
- iPhoto 6: The Missing Manual
- Mac OS X: The Missing Manual
- Macs for Teachers
- Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual (with Adam Goldstein).

Yes, his video was all in jest and not serious.

I'll meet you there in about... 22 hours. Don't need a countdown widget for that

Ooh, this'll be good, Xelitex, they don't do irony on the other side of the pond. They think it's a bit like brassy.

Or rain on your wedding day.

Damn I can never get Timezones right, except Oxford because I at least remember they are 8 hours ahead of us, and the rest of the US because well, gotta know the states. -_-

But I'm replying when it's been far longer then 1.5 hours

So how is 2007? I'm still about 6 Hours 11 Minutes away.

Haha! That was classic. At first, I was thinking this guy was really going to try and disprove the fact that Microsoft ripped off OS X. Then I realized what was actually happening and started cracking up. Good find!
