Everyone's taking shots at El Jobso

Even the usually reverent dweebs at CNET are taking shots at me now. First this hot chick Veronica Belmont calls me "old mad dog Steve Jobs" and does a bake-off video and chooses a Toshiba Gigabeat over our iPod. Um, right. But I gotta say, Veronica, you are a very attractive young woman. Really. Put it this way. There's a couple of things I noticed about you right away. Not saying that's why CNET put you on their "TV show." I'm sure it had more to do with your years of journalism experience and your deep engineering background. Not to mention that cute little accent where you can't pronounce the letter T in the middle of words like "button" and "important." Check it out. Sort of an American cockney or something. If you weren't ripping on my product, I might actually call you up and invite you over for an interview. Guess you blew it.

But that's not all from CNET. They're also breaking my stones for not putting out new iPods fast enough. Year or so ago people were bitching that we were cranking out new models too quickly. Now too slow. People, get your story straight.

Hey Steve,

You're right, she's HOT! Just like a NetBurst Pentium 4.

Maybe your Marketing Dept. didn't get her the latest iPod in black in time. You know how these reviews are influenced. The return envelope that's conveniently not included.

Give her a second chance. There may still be a spot for her at Apple, and then we'd get to see her featured on your blog more often. She looked a lot better than that group in stripes I must say.

Oh Steve! If you only knew how much it hurt me to have picked the Toshiba over the iPod. You see, for years I've been a loyal Apple fangirl, and to this day I still use your products with pride. But Mad Dog, times are changing. The iPod just isn't the marvel it once was.

Maybe I can win your love back in my next video... the MacBook Pro will be making an appearance!

Veronica, sometimes we have to hurt the ones we love. I understand. Meet me at the Starbucks on Stevens Creek Boulevard and let's chat over an herbal chai.

Don't make me fight Bike Helmet Girl! I'll do it, Steve! I'll do it... for you.

Hold me back, hold me back!

Veronica, you are my number one. I mean it. Please let me know when your Mac Book review goes up. I am pining for fresh VB video.

Also, is there some way you could draw AMD fanboi over to your blog and keep him off mine? Please?
