It pretty sad how many Apple fanboys think we should just bend over and take it up the ass just because it is the almighty Apple

This was on the front page but they reported it as Lame.

I wish one of the cities was Detroit. I would like to support the EFF by showing up. My sister buys Itunes and It is forcing her to update her software just to buy some of the newer songs. I informed her of some better options for her future purchases.

This is not a "digg" on its creator, but let us not forget that he is one of the apple fanboys, and many of the fanboys are supporters of his site. Don't get me wrong, I love to read the articles on Digg, but it seams that no mattter what happens on the internet today, it has controlling interests that I am not found of. This is becomming more of a realization since Boston's Linux World, where many of the vendors including slashdot were running macs. Maybe I am wrong, but it just seems that way to me. (Maybe its the pain-killers from a bum knee from softball last night )

Apple is lame! That's my opinion on that subject. Their OS assumes the users are idiots, and their interfaces drive me absolutely insane, boy did it feel good hitting start on that Gutmann wipe on my Mac mini!

And by the way, if a Mach is so cool, why does it's performance suck?

Oh and another thing...

I am not one of these hippie-treehuggers, but I do feel that the same people who don't mind drm, will be the same ones that say "don't worry about the government reading our email and watching our internet browsing, they know whats best for me."

Oh Yeah!!! Its cool-aid time!

I agree, the government is good at allowing itself to take our information, and then loose it on a n00b's laptop in Afghanistan.

Yeah there are a lot of Apple fans there. Digg has many types of fanboys but I hate how if you mention Digg, Kevin Rose, or iPod the story will almost automatically be dugg to the front page. I wish linuxfilter.com hadn't died off. Maybe I should go to Slashdot instead of Digg. Anyways I will stop ranting now

I'm going to add a section to my blog about albums I didn't buy from iTunes. I've started buying nearly everything from audiolunchbox.com or actual CDs from cduniverse.com. Otherwise it's amazon.

Have you ever bought a frozen dinner or something like that, and on the box they print in big bold letter: "If using a convection oven, remove contents from card board box before heating"?

Those instructions are on there for the same people who use a Mac!

The difference between a clueless Windoze user and a Macophile is that the Mac person thinks there are somehow better than everyone else because they have a Mac! Do I see an episode of Mac Elitist Radio in our future?

The creative juices are flowing. I have some good ideas floating around. I'll bounce them off the other guys to get some feedback. This may have to be a little more scripted than Windows Crash Radio. The potential is definitely there though.

HAHA I can't wait. Might want to take the email server down for a month though or you could blacklist the word Mac and Apple.
