How odd that Ballmer feels it necessary to announce that Microsoft will attempt to copy Apple on all fronts. When has it ever for a moment been otherwise? What is it that's so unspeakably crass about the man? Despite having no such prete…

Another in an endless succession of examples of Government Inc.© $22M is the equivalent of taking Google's lunch money. Such a small fine amounts to tacit permission to go on committing similar intrusions.

In politics, in business, in day to day life in America… It's all about seeming. We're so flooded with hype that we've forgotten the possibilites of the real. One doubts it's even occurred to the overlords of Best Buy that Apple's reputati…

It's like the seagulls in Finding Nemo… "Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine mine mine!" These companies should all be featured on "Hoarders." Until then, I'm tweaking my filters to exclude anything containing "Apple" and "patent."

It's quintessentially Microsoft to smugly anticipate upsetting a market they've proved they don't understand and in which they've never successfully competed with two untested products which don't yet exist. 'Tis pity Gates won't stoop to …

Steve! Steve! I saw your face sculpted in the cat hair clogging the intake grill of my Mac Pro and now I'm healed! Hush, you fool. To doubt The Saint is to invite torches, pitchforks, and worse. Put your black turtleneck back on, weep …

I'm overwhelmed by the idea of using software to write a love letter. It's a notion so ethically, morally, psychologically, and spiritually corrupt that I won't be able to even think about the actual subject of this article until I stop vomiting.…

"…wouldn't leave Apple at any price." And what a profoundly creepy thing that is. As I neither work for nor am married to Apple, there's no way I can "leave" it. The fact that I've purchased some of its products no more makes me a part of …

Meanwhile, teaching - arguably the single most important job in any society - is among our society's least lucrative professions. In America, teaching other people's children is antithetical to feeding your own. $15M? If I was a San Dieg…

"Lame" is insufficient to describe the tastelessness of these crass, tardy to the party, half-assed imitations. The word "tacky" needs to make a comeback.

I'm so excited. Something to sit next to my Zune.

Am I the last person on earth who actually realizes the trivial details of my daily activities are just that? Incessant socializing is a terminal disease so far as character is concerned. Egads… Not even I care about what music I listened …

Oooh… Antiquated bloatware for iPad. Really, Microsoft's motto should be "Everything and the kitchen sink." I can't wait to hitch their manure spreader to Apple's Ferrari.

Does the US actually have any anti-trust laws anymore, or has auctioning Congresswhores off to the highest bidder pretty much put paid to all that?

Intuit's Quicken uses ?A to open its accounts window. Over the years I used the program, I expect I pressed ?A, failed to get "Select All," and hated them with a hot, hurty hate at least 10,000 times. It's the sort of thing that makes me …

Until it becomes possible to do no business whatsoever with corporations which subvert the democratic process, Apple is the best of a bad bunch
