MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

@ Dave Powar

I am in total agreement with you except for the Speak and Spell part. They don't play games and neither does the MAC MINI. And I like to be able to swap out video cards and stuff like you can on a glorious Windows machine. So for me (and anybody else with half a brain) it's:

I hate MACs, I'm going to kill them all and replace them with Dells running awesome Microsoft Windows Vista.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Hey Dave, where'd you go?

Dave?

MDN?

Dave?

Dave hates MACs and wants to kill them and replace them with Speak and Spell machines.

Dave, you there?

Mr. Zune Tang sir... you must be merely a figment of my imagination. The REAL Zune Tang always calls us Mac Lemmings and blabbers about the Your Potential, Our Passion™crap. You are sooooo fake.

Long live Mac Mini.

Got it. My mistake.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Zune Tang:

Do you ever comment on anything remotely relevant, or just spout gibberish from morning 'til night?

No doubt like many other posters on here, I just scroll past your idiotic comments and return to the topic. Give it - and us - a rest, please.

Zune Tang, how much money would it take for you to go away?

GRAGH! Since when did the Tang get first dibs on posting? o_O;

As ZT is first, second and fourth in this thread his status as an obsessed Troll is 100% confirmed. Please do not respond or comment on his stupid crap.

He he! Zune Tang admits in his first post that he and his hoodlum chums have only half of a brain! Ballmer will never be honest enough to admit this publicly.

Power to the Zune Tang's out there and their misguided ways!!

Sorry, that last comment about "Power to the Zune Tang's" was a sarcastic remark...just for those who missed it. The "misguided ways" was NOT sarcasm.

Mac Mini's are perfect for home media centers. Or anyone considering to try out the Mac OS X platform. Its designed for humans not robots.

An OK review I guess, but what's this?

"Vista compatible: No"

It's not possible to install Vista with BootCamp?

The reason why Mr. Tang is still around is because people pay attention to his nonsense postings.

Ignore him, and he'll go away.

Obviously Zune Tang needs attention....

Lets not give it to him

Actually I am a Mac user that's just likes to have fun taking the piss out of the Mac faithful and see what happens. Sorry guys!

In all honesty I really love Macs and think Vista is a pile of poo but It's fun to wind you all up. I think I will behave from now on as you are obviously way too sophisticated for me.

Your potential. Our passion (to stifle your potential for you).™

Zune Tang wasn't first. Dave Towar was. The league (MDN) detected performance enhancing drugs in Dave's system and disqualified his post. That made Zune Tang first. Below is Dave Towar's post:

I hate Macs and want to kill them and replace them with Speak and Spell machines.

I hate Macs and want to kill them and replace them with Speak and Spell machines.

For once and for all, please don't argue with Zune Tang.
He is always right and because he is happy with his DELL and awesome Windows Vista. Leave him alone. Let him play games on his machine and kiss his brown ZUNE.
He will never know what he is missing because he is too ignorant and too blind to see. Just let it go.

For all you MAC lemmings who clearly shouldn't have joined the exclusive club of Mac users because you can't see parody when it smacks you in the eyes so obviously that you still have to comment making yourselves appear even more dense here is a rational explanation.

Apple has been being very successful recently on all fronts, computers, phones, publicity, stock price etc and is being touted even in business circles as better than Microsoft powered (sic) PCs. Vista has met with the opposite reaction to, for example, iPhone and Microsoft's share price is barely holding ground. This is very bad for Microsoft so the astroturfers have turned up, the trolls. Microsoft has never been any good at making software, it's core skills are lawyering, marketing and spreading FUD so that's where it goes to address the current problems. Microsoft has been losing roundly in it's FUD campaign against Linux and it's proxy SCO has been pretty much defanged by the court so has shifted some astroturf resources from Linux to Mac as Apple is now the bigger perceived threat.

Trolls are viscious little beasties and get decent people riled and don't let go, especially if there is bucks in it for them. The best way to expose them is not by taking them on head-on because they spout more BS which on the face of it appears well reasoned. The best way to take them on is parody and to highlight their idiocy with humour.

Zune Tang is parody, get it? Very funny too, well mostly.

I am not affiliated with Zune Tang.

Zune Tang is parody?

Let's face it guys. Every place of discussion needs a court jester! :D

"Every place of discussion needs a court jester!"

Except the Oval Office. Counting down to January, 20th, 2009. The End of an Error.

Guys,

You are all right! It's kind of stupid to keep switching out video cards when everything I need is in one machine, as it is on a Mac. It's just that I've been frustrated lately with Vista, and it's not my fault. And Dell keeps placing me on 20 minute holds when I call and can't talk to anyone in this country.

M$ -Your Frustration, Our Fault.

I get the feeling Zune Tang works for MDN

It's the other way around.

MDN works for Zune Tang.

Zune Tang's comments are hilarious and have always contained the "over the top" obvious sarcasm showing that he is a real Mac user just making fun of the crap comments actual Windows lemmings say.

I love it. Hilarious. Keep it up ZT!

Is that the real Zune Tang above, if so never fear, Microsoft is working hard to address your concerns.

Microsoft Corp. hired SC Partners LLC to lobby the federal government on immigration matters, according to a disclosure form.

The firm will lobby on issues related to temporary visas and green cards for high-tech foreign workers, according to the form posted online Thursday by the Senate's public records office.

Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft is part of a coalition of tech companies and other groups lobbying the federal government to raise the number of H-1B visas, which allow companies to hire skilled foreign professionals for up to six years. The cap is currently set at 65,000.

There, no longer will you have to struggle trying to talk to foreigners in other countries, you will soon be able to struggle talking to foreigners in the US.

Your problem, our profit™

I'm another vote to keep ZT.

Be sure to keep us informed when the next ballot issues are available for on-line voting!

[MDN is a democracy, isn't it?]


MW: "Early" as in "Vote early, ..."

I get that zune tang is parody and is supposed to be funny.
The problem is he isn't. His first post was mildly amusing,but he just repeats the same thing over and over.
