Former Republican governor of Arkansas (1996 to 2007), runner up to John McCain in the 2008 United States Republican presidential primaries, front man for the rock band “Capitol Offense,” and current star of the TV program “Huckabee” on Fox News Channel, Mike Huckabee recently talked about the poor customer service with his airline and phone company and praised Apple for great customer service on his TV program.
Huckabee switched from 22-years of suffering with Windows PC dreck – with “serious fear and trepidation” – to an Apple MacBook.
Huckabee commends the staff at an Apple Store in New York City:

MacDailyNews Take: Microsoft’s business model: Instill serious fear and trepidation. Make PCs so difficult and frustrating that it makes the very idea of switching unthinkable. Make them sheep, build a pen, and pretend to lock it tight.
Windows-only users who’ve stumbled here via Google News or via other avenues: Don’t waste 22-years fighting with your PC. You know you want a Mac. It’s time. That lock is an illusion. Set yourself free. Get a Mac.

Let’s get it out if the way…
As much of a constitutionalist as I am (meaning I side with the *theory* of the republican party) and that I’m an evangelical Christian…
Huckleberry is a two-faced douche bag, and I can’t tell you how awful I know this thread will be and I’m so sorry it got posted.
In other news, The Messiah Obama slogs on with his CrackBerry.
He has a show on Fox?
Kevin Spacey could play Huckabee in a docu-drama.
Anyone know what Huck was using before the switch? Dell? HP? Sony?
Don’t waste 22-years fighting with your PC. You know you want a Mac. It’s time.
Absolutely. MS itself knows what it’s got is rubbish – as the internal emails it tried to not get revealed show:

Oh, and don’t forget Jim Allchin’s – the man in charge of Windows – comment:
“I would buy a Mac today if I was not working at Microsoft”:

Huckabee has come in from the dark.
@the other steve jobs. People in glass-houses.
Obama has been seen with several ipods as well as an iphone…
“when companies get so big that they get lost in their rules, and their policies they probably won’t be big much longer….”
Just me perhaps, but when I heard that my mind first jumped to the Federal government
Obama has also been seen with his pastor…
Not to mention several terrorists…
@ the other steve jobs
Agreed. Huckabee is slimmy. I can’t stand him. He never wanted to be president. His god-given mission was to stop the evil Mormon Romney from making it to the White House. And what a success it was! Huckabee took conservative voters from Romney, causing McCain to win New Hampshire and Florida.
Once McCain was the nominee, the the Democratic nominee was a shoe-in. Thanks Hukabee. Here’s to hoping he doesn’t run again in 2012.
I welcome any switcher to the fold of Apple Mac.
My company have just decided to go with Windows 7 and it isn’t a real OS yet!
The IT guy told the CEO that Macs were a better option but he decided that he didn’t want to learn a new OS and stuck with the crap option. I am the only one who uses a Mac and apart from the IT guy the rest live in Stockholm!
I caught that last night and it was great. That show airs 4 times over the weekend and the people watching are many times the old Windows PC users that also own or manage offices and companies. I would hate to be the IT guy that has told them to avoid the Mac. I bet there will be discussions with the IT departments today.
According to the Good Book (John 13:35), these two statements would seem to be in contradiction with one another.
“…I’m an evangelical Christian…”
“Huckleberry is a two-faced douche bag,…”
And so Huckabee’s 2012 campaign begins!
Fergman writes, “My company have just decided to go with Windows 7 and it isn’t a real OS yet!” Man, does *that* sound familiar!
Back in 1992, I was evaluating Unix System Labs’ new “Destiny” beta that became System V R 4.2, as well as Microsoft’s NT 3.1. I was very impressed by the new Unix, but thought the NT was a piece of unusable crap. Then I learned from a former colleague that his group would be abandoning all its UNIX, Sun and Mac and going with Windows NT because they liked its “road map”.
Typical Faux News Lies!!!!
(I have no clue how, I am just a knee-jerk reactionary…)
Just realized I’ve been using Macs as long as Huckabee has been using Windows. His poor wasted life!
I also think Huckabee is a good egg.

IDIOTS! You are the type of morons that say about the civil war, “The Battle is over but the war rages on”
Its time to realize that the past 8 years of republican rule has nearly killed the GOP and caused the public to turn to someone that isnt playing the same politics game thats been going on over the past few years. I dont know if hes gonna deliver on his promises but I hope he will. I do know that for the first time in my life I see people wearing T-shirts and with bumper stickers and with self pride about the newly elected president. Get over the negative propaganda and do something constructive to make this place better. No hes not the Messiah but he does speak about peace, hope and making this a better America and incase you couldnt tell by the election thats what the people of this country and the world want. Its time to move on beyond the hate and work together to restore America to its full potential of greatness.
Oh and by the way its widely documented that the Obamas use MacBooks.
Have a great Day,
Dr. Itchie
@ 7over
sorry – but being ACCURATE and love him are totally unrelated.
my actual physical brother is a total loser that i have to bail out all the time.. So if i was to call him a drug using lose that had to declare bankruptcy, that would be ACCURATE… i also love him, and i help him all the time and i pray for him.
calling a spade a spade doesn’t change your love for them or not.
When Jesus called the Pharasees a “brood of evil vipers” – was He not loving them?
Unfortunately, this is how “The other steve jobs” started this thread:
“Let’s get it out if the way…
As much of a constitutionalist as I am (meaning I side with the *theory* of the republican party) and that I’m an evangelical Christian…
Huckleberry is a two-faced douche bag, and I can’t tell you how awful I know this thread will be and I’m so sorry it got posted.”
My response:
You sure don’t sound like an evangelical Christian; it’s pretty lame to call anyone a “two-faced douche bag.”
Also, calling someone the above without including any facts is a needless, negative waste of everyone’s time. Plus, it makes you look unintelligent.
I’m guessing here – are you 12 years old?
@anaknipedro, “Huckabee is slimmy.” Yes he is getting thinner.
Slimey is a word. You probbly went to colllidge 2.
I wonder who’s done more for his fellow man. Huckabee or the “Douchebag” comment guy?
