mighty mouse
my new found respect for apple's mobile solutions is limited. laptops are one thing. intel mobile technology (god please let apple use merom - the ball busting new mobile platform that will murder amd) plus apple's good looks and charm can put a smile on anyone's face. did i mention back lit keyboard? yea.. the only thing that would make me complete as a person would be to have a black intel powerbook. god.
but anyway, with that said, i will never in my life own an apple desktop system. if heaven and hell collide and form some type of universal facist regime that only allows people to use apple computers, i'll simply stop being a geek/nerd/generally cool guy and go into gay pornography. "but gard, why be so harsh?" fuck you.
it's ideas like the "mighty mouse" that really piss me off. why the fuck is apple such a stupid company when it comes to shit like this? have you seen this devil contraption? most people know apple uses the insanely stupid single button mouse. what a piece of shit. finally they came out of their shoebox and said, "hey! 99.9% of the free world uses multiple button mice cause they're so much better! let's create a two button mouse." okay. the thought is noble. the physical unit is, in my professional opinion, lacking anything logical. first and foremost, why stay behind the times with two buttons? right now i'm using a logitech mx1000 with ten buttons. it fucking rules. also very obvious is the fact that this pile of mouse shit still has the same design -- it looks like the retarded one button. genius! it's like that sprite commercial that tries to parody (and fails) the "pimp my ride" genre of television shows by customizing the interior of a car while leaving the exterior untouched. that makes no sense. whatsoever. fuck you for being so stupid, apple. also, there still is no scroll wheel. instead, in an attempt to be sophisticated and inventive, there's a little touch sensitive nub that makes you makes you wonder why apple hires pedophile designers. another "feature" are the side buttons. my logitech mouse has three thumb buttons that all function separate of each other and rock my world. the "mighty mouse" design has two buttons, one on each side, that must be clicked together to form one action. oh my god. fucking christ, apple.
i just don't know what to say. i'm glad my parents bought me a pc back in the day. who knows what kind of brainwashing the macintosh computers would have put me through .. it's my opinion that an aid group should be formed for apple desktop users.
and don't get me started on xserver ...
