Dirtbags at Apple are Screwing with MacBook Air SSDs

Engadget – When you head to Apple’s online store to configure yourMacBook Air, you’ll find options to increase processor speed or SSD capacity — depending on the model you select, of course. There’s no mention of flash drive speed, however, though it’s now clear that not all SSDs are created equal at Apple — not only when it comes to capacity, but also performance. Jonathan over atTLDdiscovered a fairly significant discrepancy when benchmarking both MacBook Air models over the weekend. The 128GB Samsung SSD in his 11-inch Air was able to achieve 246 MB/s write and 264 MB/s read speeds. When he switched to the 13-inch model, however, speeds dropped to 156 MB/s and 208 MB/s, respectively, using that notebook’s 128GB Toshiba SSD.

Fucking Apple, putting inferior SSDs in its 13″ MacBook Airs. Probably trying to keep costs down but sell it for so much more money. Bastards.

Is this video real, or is this some edited crap? If it is real, this kid deserves to be dead. What a fucking idiot. Shameful that the comments say he’s okay. One more moron wasting the oxygen on this planet.

 

MG Siegler Is Fucktarded+ (And Random Apple Rants)

Fuck this dude MG Siegler. If you don’t know him, he’s a jackass Apple fanboy writer for TechCrunch. I wish I can ban this guy’s articles from my news feed, because they piss me off forever. This guy solely exists at TechCrunch to write three types of articles:

  • How amazing Apple is, no matter what piece of shit they release. (This is the reason I hate Apple Fanboys. I wouldn’t have a problem with Apple otherwise. Their products are pretty good actually. I just can’t use them because they’re too mainstream and people buy them as fashion statements. Fuck that noise. I feel like if I’ve been hating on Apple for so long that I’m forever ruined from getting Apple products because if I do, it makes me a hypocrite.) But I digress…
  • How shitty Android is
  • How evil Google is
Nothing else. This human has no other purpose on this planet except to whack off to Steve Jobs and urinate all over Google.
His latest blog entry rips on Google+ for not having proper support for brands and how they are assholes for banning profiles for brands and not people..Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssseeee me, snobby.It’s a PROFILE. It’s for people. Brands shouldn’t use it. Asswad.

His Asshole Blog -Earlier today, Google+ made a move to ban all accounts not actually tied to people but instead tied to brands. This wasn’t surprising, they’ve been saying they were going to do this it’s exactly why we never set up a TechCrunch account.Knowing this, Mashable created one anyway. And quickly amassed 100,000+ followers. Sure enough, Google banned the account this morning.But instead of that being the end of the story, Mashable changed the name and picture on the account to Pete Cashmore, the name of the CEO. Account restored.This goes beyondjackassery. This is fucktarded.

When Facebook launched, it was nothing but a wall and a profile, limited to people with .edu addresses. You have to start somewhere. Obviously they will be building brand pages soon. Fucking relax. Christ. I actually admire Google for keeping it simple at first. Test it out, see how it is perceived. Make sure it’s not a complete disaster like Wave or Buzz. Once it’s borderline successful, then add an API. Then add business pages. Then add apps. If you do too much at once, it will all be shitty.

PS – there’s rumor on the internets that Chinese bros are running knockoff Apple stores. Whatever. The Chinese pirate fucking everything. If it exists, the Chinese can will pirate it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hacked Google, mirrored all their servers and named it Baidu. Did you ever see screenshots of Baidu mail? It’s like Gmail 2.0.

 

Facebook’s New Chat Sidebar Sucks

This Giz article sums it up better than I can (and it may or may not be funnier than me, too)

I was going to blog about this new dumb ass Facebook chat bar, which is ugly, awkward, garbage and a waste of space. However, I was upstate all weekend on 56k, so I got lazy. Just read the article. I’m too lazy to blog. That being said:

I NEVER used Facebook chat. When it first started, there was a stupid ass bug where your cursor would lose focus even if you were in another browser tab as soon as an IM came in. OK so that’s been fixed. But I don’t need people creeping me when I’m online. It’s pathetic. I’ve been a Google Chat man since 2006. Nuff said

I Just Choked Like the NY Mets Playing Cards Tonight

I just did a stupid thing. I had quite the epic battle going on with the mover in a tight game of rummy. There were about 3 lead changes and we went into the final round 5 points off. I go into the final round pumped, ready to win (since I lost yesterday).

I was killing the guy in the final round. I had all these points on board and was all set to make more and put the game to bed. BUT…. I threw a card out that I needed for myself but didn’t see it. He took it and ended the game with it. That stupid ass card could have given me more points, but because I was blind and tossed it, he took it and I ended up losing ALL of my points that round. And I lost the game.

Straight up reminded me of the time ARod hit a routine fly ball out which would have lost the game and Castillo dropped it like an asshole. Except I’m the Mets this time. Karma’s a bitch, isn’t it…
