The T-Shirt story is still upcoming ... reason - one I'm making a long term test (ha ha) - you'll see why. I also have a missing piece - thanks to a well known and respected website - once I have that I will finish the story.<BR/><BR/>Good "aged" eye on the 2.0 comment. Bill's site(s) are filled with that kind of comment.

Nice of you to run over to the macalope and accuse the author of treating you with no respect!!<BR/><BR/>Where do you get off, you were the IDIOT who didn't do any research and posted completely innacurate and plain wrong facts.<BR/><BR/>You are the one who lacks respect, the macalope was merely defending himself.<BR/><BR/>Another vote to have yourself added to your list of Goons.<BR/><BR/>Goon

Give Kahey a break... If the Mac Pro became his favourite Mac ever in two days, that's probably around 46 hours longer than strictly necessary.

As a current Windows user who is desperately trying to move to the Mac (just a bit if saving left!!), I find that Thurrott's site is actually one of the more balanced around - there are plenty of points on which he clearly states that Mac OSX is superior to Windows. This is helpful in deciding whether or not to switch.<BR/><BR/>Could someone tell me a Mac site where there are balanced views

I won't pass it off, but I will explain ... Apple's own page changed 4 times. Dozen of websites got it wrong. People like Leander Kahney has yet to correct his 1.1 million recall.<BR/><BR/>Your comment was deleted because it was irrelevant once I changed it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't change an opinion ... Thurott changes his mind because of factual error. When I'm wrong ... I point it out here. I always

Yeah Paul Thurott can be a bit of a jackass. I thought this part was funny though<BR/><BR/><I>Later in the week, Thurrott corrected his article significantly, not really showing or saying he edited the article for factual error.</I><BR/><BR/>Last week you stated that all G4 Powerbooks and iBooks were impacted by the battery recall.

OK. It's funny that Bill Palmer can't even rank on a top 7 list of goons, honorable mention on a goons list is about where a f-lister like him belongs. But he deserves a detailed article of his own examining his many lies and cliches, like calling himself a leader in everything.

I think it's likely that the most charitable explanation for all this is also the correct one: these people really are as unintelligent as they seem.<BR/><BR/>Intelligence is a rarer commodity than generally believed; there really isn't enough to go around, and most people are at least somewhat deficient in that regard.<BR/><BR/>It is good to remember the old saw, "Never attribute to malice what

Great article. Please do a follow up of goonish web sites. C/net, The guardian, The inquirer, Would top that list. There are other sites that troll for hits. <BR/>The John C. Dvorak Award might be a possible trophy for the winner.
