Holy crap! That was great!

Feb 14, 07 - 04:51 pm Comment from: marcus arelius

haha...first?

Feb 14, 07 - 04:55 pm Comment from: k-dizzle

Holy effing crap that was funny!

IPHONE BITCH!!

Feb 14, 07 - 05:03 pm Comment from: thoeme

Well... that was a waste of 4 minutes and 42 seconds.

Feb 14, 07 - 05:11 pm Comment from: Angelus520

Started promising and ended really lame. Finder rocked, though!

Feb 14, 07 - 05:12 pm Comment from: Wun Dum Gai

poor ending

Feb 14, 07 - 05:12 pm Comment from: Buster

I liked it....I can surf porn on my Mac?

Feb 14, 07 - 05:16 pm Comment from: Stupid...

Yeah, it was pretty stupid. Gratuitous sex references at the end showed how immature the makers were.

Feb 14, 07 - 05:17 pm Comment from: esteban

AWESOME!!! HILARIOUS!!

Feb 14, 07 - 05:21 pm Comment from: peaPod

That was awesome!

Feb 14, 07 - 05:22 pm Comment from: Jago

Mildly amusing

MDN Magic Word: "persons" As in, the persons who created this don't have very much creative talent.

Feb 14, 07 - 05:23 pm Comment from: Important

What's important is the core message, that there is room enough for both groups out there, and that we should all just get along with one another.

- peace

Feb 14, 07 - 05:23 pm Comment from: Colonel Panic

Finally, something worthwhile to do with the spinning beachball, LOL

Feb 14, 07 - 05:39 pm Comment from: Kate

Hey, Important:
You mean "can't we all just get along"/Kumba Ya...?
Well...Bite Me.
I don't want to get along w/Windows--I want to grind it under my 6" stiletto heels!!!

@Kate
"I want to grind it under my 6" stiletto heels!!!"...

uh.... got a date for tonight?

Feb 14, 07 - 05:49 pm Comment from: montex

I would have liked to see Bill Gates summon some warrior character from World of Warcraft to go after Steve Jobs, but just before it gets to hurt him, the warrior is called by his mother to go out and empty the trash.

/it was funny to me!

Feb 14, 07 - 06:31 pm Comment from: Walk away Bill, just walk away

That was very funny and having programmed on the C64 I can relate. Still have a ton of C64 stuff boxed up at home.

@ Stupid,
What do you think most of the computers in homes do at least some of the time. Its a joke laugh at it.

IPHONE BITCH!!!! Good stuff man.

Feb 14, 07 - 06:50 pm Comment from: LordRobin

Poor "Stupid" finds it painful to laugh with that giant stick shoved up his ass. That was funny, funny $#!+.

Have you ever noticed how, when you are using your Mac, that your RAM memory seems to get lower and lower? I've noticed something when using Macjanitor (http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html). MacJanitor is normally used to perform the routine maintenance functions on your Mac in lieu of leaving it on during the night. But, if you find yourself running low on RAM, you can open MacJanitor and run the "Weekly" funtion, and it will free up a considerable amount of RAM. Once RAM has been freed up, you can click on "Cancel", and close MacJanitor. Let me know what you think...

Feb 14, 07 - 08:35 pm Comment from: Zune Tang

When are you Mac fanboys gonna realize that Bill Gates is so much cooler than Steve Jobs?!?

I want a ZuneSaber!!! Notice how it took Jobs so much longer to activate his iPhotoSaber?

Your potential, our passion.

Feb 14, 07 - 08:53 pm Comment from: Dirty Harry

Me love Zune Tang long time!

Feb 14, 07 - 08:57 pm Comment from: macnut222

This was GREAT!

Feb 14, 07 - 09:21 pm Comment from: msr

That was extremely funny.

"I am the Finder..."

Feb 14, 07 - 11:15 pm Comment from: Zune Tang (the Real One)

Just the kind of cartoon stuff to expect from a toy OS. Vista is for work, it will drive the productive engine of the world economy.

Go ahead and laugh. You will eventually assimilate.

Your potential. Our prime directive.

Feb 15, 07 - 12:36 am Comment from: Robert

That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Feb 15, 07 - 12:48 am Comment from: ziggyonice

commodore 64! i've got like 5 of those in my basement!

Feb 15, 07 - 01:22 am Comment from: TheConfuzed1

Am I the only one annoyed that they missed the purpose of Finder? That should have been Spotlight.

Feb 15, 07 - 04:53 am Comment from: FistOfGod

Brilliantly lame.

Feb 15, 07 - 07:25 am Comment from: Lardlad

Why did Steve have the red saber (dark) and F'in Gates have green? Well they blew that one!

Feb 15, 07 - 08:40 am Comment from: hedgehogfrenzy

iPhone bitch! ROFL!

I won't ever forget that line.

Feb 15, 07 - 09:01 am Comment from: DLMeyer

montex, what's your logic? War-crack runs on OSX (at least) as well as on Windows. Son-in-law Jim uses Robin's iBook instead of his younger HP notebook because the iBook renders things so much better/faster than his "better" Windows machine (with shared graphics memory) ... using the account I bought for Alex and Jeremy. Gotta get him a JOB ! ! !

I thought it was amusing! Both characters showed exaggerations of features we/ve been told about with these two. Except that B.G. is SOo post-revenge-of-the-nerds in reality.

That was just sad

Feb 15, 07 - 10:04 am Comment from: eWorldian

LAME.... looks like something a PC would've made.

Feb 15, 07 - 12:19 pm Comment from: montex

Oh, Damn! The Warcrack nerd P0nwd me!

Ok let look at this realistically what will Steve job be remembered for building a modern walkman ripping the guts out of Unix and calling it tiger what will gates be remembered for donating 29 billion for the explicit use of curing world disease what will jobs be remembered for figuring out that a computer can be white instead of beige trying to monopolizing his own product with specially designed hardware and using cultural figures of importance to sell his cheesy wares what will gates be remembered for becoming one of the most important cultural figures in the modern world
