Phosphorescent spunk.

Balls deep in the I/O Slot. Someone's been rocking out with his dangles out.

With a comp this glorious its tough not to.

Why fight it? Slap yo' little sausage all over that lot little piece of individuality. Let her know who's the bitch!

I see the humor in people thinking people use Macs to be "individuals" or to stand out. LOL. People use Macs because they're wonderful and create a life without barriers.

I'll remember this quote the next time my Mac gives me one of these bad boys. At least I have a life without barriers going for me. Which is nice.

More non-barriers:

I happen to have a new MacBook Pro and like it, but let's not make them out to be more than they are. Apple makes computers, and the computers they make are as good and/or flawed as any other system available on the market today.

Except the UI is far more condusive to productive work. And you don't need to worry about someone hacking in. And you don't need to worry about viruses. And you don't need to worry about spyware. And you don't need to buy expensive software for exchange support. And you have unmatched build quality, does anyone else have a CNC machined adonized aluminum machine?

If you're seeing those issues, you're doing it wrong. Last time I chatted with you, you seemed to really enjoy your MBP.

Entelligence: Will Snow Leopard's Exchange support earn Apple a new entourage?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/entelligence-will-snow-leopards-exchange-support-earn-apple-a/#continued

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he'll explore where our industry is and where it's going -- on both micro and macro levels -- with the unique wit and insight only he can provide. Apple, Microsoft and the Mac have an interesting history: Microsoft was among the first developers for Macintosh, yet not long after, Apple would sue Microsoft for copying the look and feel of Mac OS in Windows. By the late 90s, Microsoft made a huge splash at Macworld with an announced 150 million dollar investment in Apple and promises of further development of Office and Internet Explorer for Macintosh. Office in particular was a major issue as it was a key requirement for business users. Early on, Office applications for Mac were far more advanced than their Windows counterparts. Excel was actually introduced for Mac users before Windows users could get their hands on it. But by the mid 90s, all that changed, the Mac versions of Office lagged behind Windows in terms of features and performance. It took forever to get things such as a common set of file formats, so that users of Office on the two different platforms could exchange documents with ease (it seems like something we take for granted but having managed and supported PC and Mac users in mixed shops, it was a nightmare to deal with). The latest version of Office for Mac, Office 2008 showed that Microsoft could produce top quality Macintosh software. I personally, think Office 2008 for Mac is the best version of the software that Microsoft has ever done (far better than Office 2007 for Windows, as it preserved the core part of the Mac UI while co-existing nicely with the ribbon UI). Obviously, however, a situation with such broad inconsistency is untenable.

I've been using Snow Leopard for a few weeks now with our corporate Exchange server and I'm pleased to report: it just works. Simply (far easier to configure Snow Leopard to work with our Exchange server than to set up a new copy of Outlook). Within moments of entering my email address and password, all my calendar items, contacts, email, and to-do lists were integrated into the appropriate Snow Leopard apps. I haven't had a single problem with the configuration. As many reviews have pointed out, Snow Leopard has a lot of nice features but Exchange support may prove to be a killer app for Apple in helping to drive business sales -- as well as help blunt a lot of the marketing hype around Windows 7. I can't overstate how important Exchange support is. For me -- as user who's used both platforms for years -- I've been constrained to using Windows mostly because Exchange worked so much better than Entourage did. With the introduction of the latest version of iLife and Snow Leopard, I find I'm not just doing my creative stuff on the Mac, but am able to fully migrate my business use as well (I'll talk about my lessons as a swticher sometime in the future).

It amazes me day in and day out how Windows users settle for that shit. Not only is Exchange free for Mac users now, but the Mac version of office is a year newer and much better (according to Engadget and several other major media outlets) on a Mac.

Dude...please stop being such a mac pole smoker...it's a nice piece of hardware with a good OS. I bought my wife a macbook a couple of years ago and if I could justify the expense I would buy a new MPB 13 just to fuck around with....maybe blo some good goo on it sometimes...but fuck...stop with the mac snobbery.....it is not becoming.

I cannot emphasize enough how nice of a laptop this 13" MacBook Pro is. It's worth every penny as the hardware quality is just so much better than any other Laptop I've used, including the Dell Latitude 5400 I use at work.

**SkinBasket** · 10-10-2009, 04:23 PM

I cannot stress enough how nice my penis is and how happy I've been with it thus far. Just wanted to share since we're sharing unsolicited happy thoughts.

**Tyrone Bigguns** · 10-10-2009, 06:24 PM

Ty's penis has been great as well, but a special shout out to my endocrine system.

You know what you do and why Ty loves you. Much love pineal gland.

I'm very angry with Apple. They're trying to screw me out of a 230 dollar rebate. Every company has rebate flaws, but I've never had it happen to me and I'm effin mad.
