MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Allah Akbar!

It's the update that turns your iMac into a bomb.

Ha-La-Ha-La! LeeeeLeeeeeeeLeeeeeLeeeeeeeLeeeeeeLeeeeeee!

Watch out Apple.... Dubya will target you are a supporter of terrorism.

If ever the notion existed that Mac users are a tolerant people, or even somewhat wittier than the average blog blatherer, this thread finished it off.

I think it's important that if you're going to plan a global jihad, you're better off doing it with an easy-to-use and stylish operating system. One that your sick and backwards culture could never have come up with on its own, thereby causing your cognitive dissonance that is the primary source of your irrational hatred - the reason for desiring global jihad in the first place.

Ya see how it all comes full circle? Beautiful!

Hey! Now the Iranians can have a Tiger in their tanks.....

It's great that the Steve has provided an Arabic version of Tiger to some of the finest and most deserving people on Earth! Just. . . gimme that checksum for verification. Too many slimy little feebies hovering around the router switches for my liking. . .

TowerTone

What good will that be ? Iranians are not Arabs and Arabic is not their language.

When your ilk fly planes full of innocent people into buildings full of innocent people in the name of Allah, you forfeit all rights to tolerance.

Arabs should police their own, crack down on their extremists, and rid the world of such crazy-ass, murderous filth. Then - and only then - should tolerance even begin to be considered.

Sh!t, Mackid, I shoulda said Syrian.
Thanks

It is interesting that it took Apple a bit over two years - two and a half, if you count to a usable version - to come up with Leopard ... but a week beyond that to come up with an Arabic version of Tiger, after the basic code was finished and all. Now, was this a response to 9/11? A response to the Administration's response to 9/11? A symbol of Apple's lack of thought for various groups, such as Arabs, with whom they don't knowingly associate with? A symbol of Apple's anger over ???
Arabic Tiger being free is the least they could do. Arabic Leopard ... when's that due? Oh ... and ... off-the-cuff bigotry doesn't quite rank as "humor", guys. It's just more cheap bigotry, and we get enough of that in our daily lives.

Until the towelheads get their fscking lunatic fringe under control, let them suffer with Windows.

Lighten up. It's not bigotry. That is based on religion, skin color, customs, and so forth. What you are seeing is hate, based on actions. Big difference.

See, we only blow up innocent men, women, little girls and boys and babies, so that you'll empathize with our plight.

So, where's the empathy?

Well, thanks for Tiger, at least.

TT ... I'm sure you meant "Persian", right?

Facts ... so, what do we Scots-Americans have to suffer to repent for one of "our kind" driving a truck full of explosives up beside a federal building and setting the timer to blow up hundreds of innocents?
What do the ATF people have to endure for their irrational killing of innocents at the Branch Davidian compound or at Ruby Ridge?
What do the Mormon separatists need to repent their pedophilia?
The Irish?
The Indians?
The Israelis?
The Japanese?
Why are you irrationally singling out all Arabs to be punished for the crimes of a few? Holding, much less advocating, such views is proof that you are not a believer in the teachings of Christ, or Mohamed, or even the Jewish faith. You are either non-religious or destined for Hell/another re-incarnation as a dung beetle ... depending on your professed beliefs.
You are morally, ethically and intellectually inferior/lacking and need serious help. Until you get that help, please do us a big favor and STFU.
Thanks.
Dave

Allah ackbar derker derker jihad!

This is the most disgusting set of comments I have ever read at this site. It really verifies the level of mendacity of the failed "conservative" philosophy.

Grate, now Al Gores letting them have assess to the internets.

Voice ... you mean like the Radical Religious Right in the US supporting those who assassinate Doctors who work at Planned Parenthood Clinics? You can't call those murderous religious radicals "towel-heads", even though their "prophet" was just that. Bible-thumpers? Fire-and-brimstoners?
TT ... if the hate were aimed at the folks who took the act - or were at least somehow connected with it - it would not be "bigotry". It IS bigotry because it is aimed at a whole class of people based on the actions of less than 1% of the group.
Bigotry is evil. It wins if those who recognize it do not speak up to oppose it. Do you not recognize it? Or not oppose it!

@sad and Grandpa,
Come on! Get a sense of humor or at least tolerance for others' opinions. While I certainly don't agree with all the things said in this thread, I have enjoyed reading them and even laughed at most.

Wow, there are some serious haters up on this site. You can't say an entire group of people is bad because of the actions of a few. That's not hate, TowerTone, it is bigotry.

@ Cubert. Tolerance for opinions is one thing, tolerance for bigotry is another. You may have low enough standards to tolerate it, but not all of us.

hey, how come they still get the Hi-Fi iPod speakers?

Ya gotta love these sanctimonious shit wits like DLMeyer. Geez, it's politically correct morons like this guy that always get in our way of just dealing with these friggin' muslims like they ought to be dealt with. And the moral equivalence crapola is just soooo lame. Comparing muslims with Christians. His brain would serve a higher use as a door stop.

@Grandpa
I could not agree more. These people are no better then a radicalized muslim. Hate is hate, and if you decide to take a side, then you already lost. Don't you see, this is exactly what the hate-mongers want, from both sides. To radicalize you. By the comments that I've read, they have been very successful.

Oops, always so eloquent.

Mac-nugget,

Let's see: thousands of innocent people who went to work in their buildings or took a plane flight vs. a bunch of mass murders who flew said planes into said buildings.

Yes, by all means, don't take sides.

You stupid, liberal, pussy, slime, you.

You also advocate no winners or losers in federally-funded school athletics, right? Spare the children the "pain" of learning about winners and losers, right?

You weak, know-nothing, spineless, pansy-ass, liberal, loser, scum, you.

No one should be judged, no matter what, right?

You liberal, Clintonista, emasculated, ball-less, Oprahfied, jellyfish, you.

I have the cure for what ails you: a sharp punch right in the mouth - to knock some fscking common sense into you and teach you a lesson about how the world really works.

The usual suspects - like TowerTone and BTSOI - will come out of the woodwork on this thread demanding that A-rabs should become enlightened and educated and stop living in the dark ages. Sadly, a significant proportion of the usual suspects also seem to want to deny those same A-rabs the most efficient, reliable system with which to achieve that education or enlightenment.

This isn't much of surprise: a lot of the right wing-nuts who argue for enlightenment are the same wing-nuts who argue against Darwinian evolution and prefer to cling to a set of fairy tales. Whilst they're about it, they also seem to be the same people who want the government to have more "religious" involvement, whilst decrying the Iranian government for that very thing.

You don't need to be a witless moron to spout ignorant crap, but it sure seems to help.

Wow... just wow... it's amazing to Americans:

Arab/Arabic = Muslim = terrorism

I wonder how many people who have made hateful posts here even know anything about Arabs, Arabic, Muslim and terrorism. Judging by some people assuming Iranians to be Arabs I'm going to guess not many...

Sad...

Steve Jobs is part a-rab.

Has anybody tried the installation? How's it look? Any interesting software? I'd love to see a screenshot of Arabic iTunes.

You would think Steve Jobs being half Syrian would help tone down the bigots :(

Good. This opens up a huge new market for Apple's products.

Oh, and to those who are arguing with the bigots on here . . . just remember that 'Get a sense of humor' and 'Don't be uncivil to me just because I'm uncivil to you' are the latest tactics of the new racism movement. Don't argue with them . . . just condemn them and marginalize them whenever possible.

I'm more interested in the current status of Hebrew support on the Mac, as I expect to "seed" a few units to some educational institutions in Israel in coming years. (The country is at present heavily wedded to Windows.)

BTW, should we tell those in the Arabic speaking community that the Core architecture of the CPU used in every Mac (and Wintel box) today was developed at Intel's research labs in Israel? (Intel is putting up a new foundry there to build those CPUs as well.)

Of the 20 perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks 15 of them were Saudi nationals. That is 3/4.

Yet no action was taken against Saudi Arabia.

One of the MOST radicalized forms of Islam is Wahhabism. This particular school of though is not only tolerated but encouraged by the Saudi Royal government. This is the reason why so many of the perpetrators where Saudi nationals.

Yet no action has every taken place against Saudi Arabia in any shape, way or form.

Why?

For the same reason we attacked Iraq. OIL.

Now why is it that the Saudi government takes no action against this form of Islam? Because it's the way that they can control their masses. The general population of Saudi Arabia really hates America. They blame America for the inequities of their society. So the Saudi Royal Family, which in turn is the real reason for such inequities, which in turn is holding power by a thread, allows this to keep them at bay and protect their regime from being toppled. Nice right?

Yet, why bother with all the details right? The Saudis are our friends, right?

Uh, guys, the joke I made was in reference to Enco, years ago. And while I know Iran is not Arab, I forgot they don't speak Arab. That is not bigotry, that was a small attempt at humor.

And DL, don't know why your short fuse went off. I see people give you shit here all the time, but I never knew why. And, no, not Persian, I meant I should have used a Syrian tank as the example. I have no problem talking shit about either of these terrorist exporting nations, but at least I try to get it right.

"Oh the Irony", perfect name, as I never stated anything like what you said, but that is all you probably can hear. I love this quote "You don't need to be a witless moron to spout ignorant crap, but it sure seems to help."

Oh, the irony indeed.

@Oh, the irony…
@Jake

Nicely put.

In my daily life, I'm surrounded mostly by people who only see black and white options. How come I never see black and white, just shades of grey?

You're forgetting the Mexicans like me!

"It's great that the Steve has provided an Arabic version of Tiger"

RTFA. This localization was done by the Apple reseller for the middle east.

Obviously not all the ignorant authoritarians are Windows users.

I'm sure the victims of the horrible attacks on September 11th have now been avenged by Blackwater & Co. George Bush-u akbar!

People like "Painful Truth" are the problem - because they''re just like the A-rab terrorists they hate. They truly deserve each other.

MDN MW: It will take 'time' to end all this hate.

hi to all macdaily-jews - steve jobs is part-syrian. he sold ya some unkosher hardware. owned, i'd say! SHHHHHHHAAAAALLLOM JOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS!

"If ever the notion existed that Mac users are a tolerant people, or even somewhat wittier than the average blog blatherer, this thread finished it off."

those times are long over. since apple is now mainly a seller of mp3-players, all those dumb-fuck windows users are now proud owners of ipods and macs. that's why you get all those redneck comments lately. and our fine forum jews add their special hate-fueled bits to spice it all up and here you go. welcome to the new MDN.

"that's why you get all those redneck comments lately. and our fine forum jews add their special hate-fueled bits to spice it all up and here you go. welcome to the new MDN."

Same as the old MDN. Apparently.

@Painful Truth
Sure, punch me in the face. Now that will make me a right-winged radicalized God fearing pro-life creationist, that hates communist, minorities and Muslims. Now that has the depth of though equal to a Cro-Magnon. No wonder you don't believe in evolution, because it really hasn't happened to you.

'Clintonista'. I like that. I consider myself a Clintonista MacTard. Thanks Painful Truth.

When I read some of the comments on this site I can readily understand why so many non-Americans see the Unites States as a threat to international peace. You hate so easily and the rest of world takes notice and gets a little more nervous.

Guys, lighten up! What IS all this?

At least they didn't get LEOPARD!

That was my attempt at humor, but some of you need to take your political commentary/views to the proper blogs where they belong. This is an Apple site that graciously allows us to comment on all things tech/Apple.

Don't abuse it.

Peace.

Wow..... the whole thread got nothing to do with Mac
Is this PC site, F***K u All, you don't deserve to use mac
Peace from KSA
