Jesus, this is one of the most hilarious "fake" articles I've ever encountered:

thats of course a very easy to destroy DeathStar, Moff Tarkin original one had only one security weakness, this new one has plenty of them, in fact alliance doesnt even need to attack, just wait to see how that thing freezes and blow itself :D

by the way, i think your screen name is just great

Ha ha! A good point. The man in charge of Microsoft's new Death Star ray weapon will be JUST ABOUT to obliterate earth, fingers rapping the keys, when . . . a sudden shrill bleep . . . and . . . BLUE SCREEN! The entire unit fogs up, shuts down. Implodes! "That's no moon . . . it's a (bright flash) ROILING BALL OF FLAME!"

Well, that was certainly a fun little "splurge."


In any case: thank you, I like my name also.


Fondly,

my Jedi name is Vange Krewill, the force is with me and I'll destroy that Deathstar with all other Mac Jedi's.

Did anyone notice the dell-inspired banner ad on the top of the screen??

i got a different one I think, didn't look dell-like.

fun article - I don't think we have much to worry about, by the time they do complete it, they'll have to upgrade all the systems due to planned obsolescence which will effectively create a vicious cycle of retrofitting and maintenance...;)

Does this mean there's no longer is going to be a M$ification of the Statue of Liberty?

What would be more American than those seeing the big statue of Bill Gate's standing proudly holding up a copy of his book.
