I'm not sure if he's serious, but I fear he is.

He really can't be serious. I couldn't find anything true in the whole piece. :confused:

I call a cease-fire on his inbox. Please do not jam his email server, he's just ignorant.

That was hilarious. It was a joke right? Oh :eek:
EDIT: flicking through the rest of his sight I can't believe it's a joke - no-one in their right mind would put that much time and effort into it.

I think this is another don't feed the trolls thing.... I gotta resist the urge to click on these links and give this kind of person site traffic.

Also FYI the article was a year old.

And now I know where my "friends" got all their information of Apple from...

"Macs suck cause they are slow!"
"Macs suck they can't use or make CDs!"
"Macs suck cause the internet is too weird on them!" :rolleyes:

Oh the ignorance... :(

I couldn't help it. I had to look. The scary part is that someone who claims to know all can't spell "college" correctly.

That guy is just ignorant and has no idea what hes talking about. I prefer reading mac hating articles where they actually have valid points.

that can not be serious. surely?

if not, im worried that there is some seriously narrow minded people out there!

<sarcasm> I was amazed at the quality of grammar and spelling, as well as the quality of research. </sarcasm>

Maybe it is a result of his "collage" education. :p

Assuming he is serious, that article only proves the following:
a) he is a fanboy.
b) he has never been close to a Mac.
c) there are intellectually challanged people on this planet.

Neither is something to be upset about.

No I'm sorry, i don't find this amusing at all. This kind of thing really makes my blood boil. I don't think i've ever read anything so ridiculous in my whole life... not just that article.
I've always thought it was difficult to judge someone's personality across the internet but from what i've read on that guys website, it is clear he is just an asshole of gigantic proportions.

He'd do us all a great favour to go and jump in a ditch somewhere.

Again, this can surely not have been the first idiot you have had the unfortune to come across?
The problems with this category of people is that reasoning with them is an utter complete waste of time.

I just can't stop laughing at the stories on his website. The one about the "Skanks, How Girls Become" and the "Girls, The Atkins Diet diet" are just hilarious.

I'm sure the guy doesn't mean to be funny but he is.

Only macintosh makes the software

liar.

They're not IBM compatible

That's the point.

They have about as much memory as Ronald Reagan

Not true, but funny.

Can't find **** on your mac. Where did I put that again?

Blink.

The guy lacks talent, he has to do something to get people to visit his site.

C'mon people. This is just a rant by some angry teenager on his website. We're discussing it as if it's an actual article by a tech journalist. Nothing to see here...

lol every time I read an article like this and the reactions of members of this forum it confirms my theory that Mac users and Metallica (http://www.metallica.com) fans are exactly the same.
If you walk up to either and say "Macs and/or Metallica SUCKS" 9 times out of 10 you will get a rise out of them. Even if your just saying it to piss them off. They don't care, they take the bait almost every time. :rolleyes:

When I read "where is the disk eject?" as the first (lead off) question, I knew the reading wasn't going to be replete with heavy research or footnotes :) My favorite though is [no serious businessman (should be person) would be caught dead with one] (mac). This kind of ignorance unfortunately is here and won't go away any time soon.

Take a look at the rest of his site. I'm starting to think/hope that everything on there is just B.S. to get a rise out of anyone who reads his site. If that's not true, then he's just INCREDIBLY ignorant, and it's rather sad.

There's no way one person actually believes all the things that he writes (read some of the other articles). I think he's trying to be funny (think http://maddox.xmission.com/), but he's just not as funny.

I think its high-time to point out that a "PC" is a Personal Computer, which a Macintosh is a member of. Like Amigas, Commodores, and just for the hell of it, Osbournes.

Have you read anything else from his homepage? I have serious doubts whether it was intended to be sarcasm,

"Exactly" the same? Not so sure about that, but it's an interesting theory. I say interesting .…

You're right about that "bait" thing. If someone walked up to me and said "Macs are crap" i'd say "Who are you?” How did you know I used a Mac?"… "Get out of here" blah blah blah blah :rolleyes:
I can't see the point in walking up to someone and saying "Macs and/or metallica are crap" other than to say it to piss them off, unless it was someone wearing a "I hate Macs and/or metallica" T-Shirt ... no doubt standing beside someone who's wearing an "I'm with stupid" T-shirt. What a fantastic conversation would ensue.

That website is a waste of space. “How Girls Become Skanks”, “How We Get Fat Retards”. Please! I get the feeling he is serious about most of it, maybe I’m wrong? I don’t think I am.

Is this really humour?

I wouldn't call humor. The ignorant rantings of a pathetic flamer perhaps, but absolutely not humor...

He's no maddox alright.. Maddox is funny and makes some valid points most of the time, or at least well thought out ones.

I think it's funny because of how most of his points are completely unfounded or just plain wrong. And if you read his other articles you'll see he is serious about what he writes. He writes it to piss people of of course (in which he might succeed sometimes), but he does mean it...

Sarcasm is reserved for intelligent thinkers who, relatively informed and aware of both sides, opt for the sarcastic filter to knowingly distort and/or diss. This uninformed soul is hardly qualified to have his work deemed as "sarcasm"; that would be too complementary.

Macs suck because it's hard to pirate the software. You gotta actually pay for it.

That's about the gist of what I'm reading...
