Never Try to Reason with an Apple Fanboy
I love busting Dan’s balls about Apple. He will defend them to the grave. I tend to side with Google over Apple and make that well known. Anyway, here’s our text convo right after Jobs’ iOS 4/ iPhone 4 keynote. This is why I have no life in the summer. Instead of going to the beach every day, I end up in iPhone vs Android arguments. The iPhone 4 looks good, I will not deny that. BUT – AT&T sucks and doesn’t make calls and many of these features have been out already on other phones.
Never reason with an Apple Fanboy
To be dead honest, it is a nice piece of hardware. The screen looks amazing/ has the highest res out of all smartphones and it does 720p video. Plus, its front camera is ahead of most Android devices (except that HTC 4G one, which isn’t as good). Hell they even added a flash (never Adobe Flash). What is pretty useless is how Jobs claims the screen is so amazing that it’s better than a human eye can detect. Well, then if I can’t see it do any better, who cares.
PS – Don’t mind the ghetto pictures of my Droid screen. You need to root it in order to use the screenshot apps. I’m not that risky. Also, to be brutally honest, I don’t like the Droid Incredible. HTC has some pair of balls on them ruining the stock Android GUI with its SenseUI crap (that’s another blog rant).
It’s About Time They Did This in NYC
You know what annoys me? Tourists clogging up my city and getting in my way. People like to stand in the middle of the sidewalk with blank stares and gaping mouths while looking up at buildings and taking 4,321 pictures or people who are walking turtle speed staring into a map. I have places to go and things to do – you’re in my way.
So this is a few weeks old, this news – I saw it on the internets somewhere. Being in NY yesterday, people who were slow annoyed me, so I thought I’d put this up. But it’s brilliant – divide the sidewalk into people who stand around and walk slowly, and real people who have somewhere to go. Anyone ignoring this should be ticketed, or even tased (is that even a word? tased? Tasered? Whatever, you get the point.)
Another Reason Apple Sucks
Hey assholes at Apple – stop forcing us to use Safari to view your html5 pages. Okay, Firefox 3.6 may not be all there yet on html5 (just wait for Firefox 4), but Chrome uses Webkit and should have no trouble at all displaying the pages. No one wants to use Safari on a Windows machine.
See this is why Steve Jobs is a hypocrite. He wants to support open web standards, but then throws out demos that only work in Safari. Well guess what. Chrome is open also, and it’s html5 compliant so cut the shit. So much for the open web…
You suck Apple. Safari isn't the only html5 enabled browser out there
P.S – If you’re still using IE, please park your car on the nearest set of train tracks and wait.
Cut Out This Maybe Bullshit

You know what’s terrible? A maybe. If you haven’t noticed, I don’t like uncertainty. Give me a yes or a no. I hate bullshitters – give me a straight, to the point answer. Simple as that. Seriously – want to get anywhere in the real world? Be a CEO? You need to make decisions. And this ramble has nothing to do with people messing with my head. It relates to…
Facebook events! Nothing pisses me off more than when people RSVP to crap and say “maybe attending.” Like are you serious? It is either a “yes, I’m going” or a “no, I hate you/ no, I have something else to do/ no, your event sucks.” I literally had someone admit to me that he or she clicks maybe to be polite. Because declining an event is apparently an insult. Well you know what? Grow some balls and stop being so polite. Because to me, a maybe is a “I’m really not going to go, but I am too much of a little bitch to decline.” It’s the worst when I’m reading the maybe list and know someone on there who wouldn’t be caught dead at the event. And then I just shake my head in shame.
It could be that Facebook is annoying as hell and you need to get rid of your 321 event notifications. In that case, click the “remove from my events button.” That’s what I do. It doesn’t confirm you as a guest, it doesn’t put you on the decline list, and the person can plan accordingly. Be like me – I know my shit.
The only exception is college parties. People hop around and I understand that in college, people show up if they feel like it . For college parties, that’s totally fine because anything goes. But if it’s a formal event and you’re maybe-ing, you’re a moron.
PS -It’s 4AM, I just watched two episodes of Dexter and it’s absolutely hilarious and have absolutely no business being awake, let alone blogging. But only 3 people read these anyway, so who cares. I set this to auto publish at an hour people are actually awake.
