And the first thing he does is blog about it and ask his frigtarded readers to suggest all kinds of crapware that he can load onto his beautiful machine to mess it up. Nice. Of course Dave "An Empty Barrel Makes the Most Noise" Winer lobs in two dopey ideas. I've been wondering two things. One, does Scoble actually do anything other than sit at his desk posting moronic items and then engaging in comment string dialogues with readers? Does he bathe? Go to the bathroom? Eat? Well we know he eats. Look at the photo. But you can eat your desk without stopping your blog activity. Does he work? I mean at an actual job?
And two, who the hell are the bozos who actually read Scoble and participate in this circle jerk? Well, now we now. Dave Winer. Wow. When Dave Winer reads your blog you now you've hit the big time. This guy's been lurking around at the edges of the tech industry and generally being a know-it-all pain in the ass for twenty years. Not surprised to find out he's an avid Scoble pud-puller.
Please note too the way Scoble congratulates himself at the end of his item by informing his readers that one of the people he's just mentioned is the CEO of SmugMug. Wow, Robert, when the CEO of SmugMug [ed. note, shurely shome mishtake] is reading you, you know you've become an "influencer" in the Valley. Whew. Little bet here. If SmugMug still exists in 2010, I'll eat meat.
Also in the big news from Scoble category. He's broken another huge story. Some dude from Twitter [ed. note what this?] is leaving to join Jaiku [ed. note you're kidding right]. See here. Stop the friggin presses! The guys at the Journal are sooo pissed off. Scooped by Scoble again! Damn you Robert and the rest of your citizens journalism brigade! And damn you Twitter for not talking to us first!

Ok. So I stay up until 5am reading your blogs. Hilarious. Then I start my (*holds head in shame*) PC (I'm saving for a Mac! Honest!). I open FireFox (I wish it was Safari, but hey, its better than Internet Explorer and find a new blog entry! :D Hilarious, dude. Hilarious.
And just to make this comment have any relevance, Scoble is a jerk.
I knew that there was proof after all! ;)
New Google Desktop. Love it.
Dear Lord, some people shouldn't be allowed to use a Mac.
And two, who the hell are the bozos who actually read Scoble and participate in this circle jerk?
Uh, FS, how do you manage to keep track of all the crap that Scobletard writes? Do you read all this yourself (can't imagine what with your busy schedule in the monastery dreaming up the next beautiful thing), or does Schiller read Scoble and Whiner and SMS it to you on the limited edition iPhone?
"Shurely shome mishtake"
Now come on, Fake Steve. I'll bet the real one doesn't even know who Bill Deedes is.

It should be "now we know"

Is this suggesting that the people at an apple store sold a mac to him? I hope they get fired.
You know, Fake Steve, I'd love to know what the real Steve Jobs would say if he read what Paul Graham has just written:
"All the computer people use Macs or Linux now. Windows is for grandmas, like Macs used to be in the 90s. So not only does the desktop no longer matter, no one who cares about computers uses Microsoft's anyway."
Paul Graham owes an apology to grandmothers everywhere ... but I bet Steve Jobs would love that comment.

I've got an important message for the PC user at the top who is looking forward to browsing with Safari...
Don't.
Safari is a beautiful looking browser with a very intelligent user interface, but it has one crippling "feature": it chokes. Safari chokes on low memory situations. Safari chokes when loading a lot of tabs simultaneously. And Safari starts to choke on everyting when its favicon cache gets too full, requiring you to clear it out yourself (or, since most people don't know how to do this -- just start hating Safari because you'll get there sooner or later anyway).
When I say 'choke' I don't mean 'crash'. Although occasionally it does that too. No, I mean that it gets so busy with whatever it thinks it's doing that's so important, that it stops listening to me. In this frequent situation, I can't switch tabs to read something else while Safari crunches away. I can't scroll down. I can't do *anything* until Safari decides that it's *okay* now to accept input from me.
Basically, the program does not take my time as a user at all seriously. It should be better than that. Both Firefox and Camino are better than that.
I recommend Camino -- a very stable, Mac-like user experience that is based on the same rendering engine as Firefox. And best of all: it takes me seriously. When I want to click something I'd better damn well be able to click it, regardless of how many pages Camino is currently loading.
If you value your time, don't use Safari. That's the long and short of it.
Scoble put Vista on his Mac? What a jerk, fer shure. I guess he can't be seen pissing off all the Microsoft apologists who are his bread and butter. Anyhoos, I though Scoble was making love to Microsoft Media Centre doobrie, what does he even need a Mac for, it's not like he's a content creator.

Greeting! What do you think of wow gold? I always lack of wow gold to buy some great item for my char before the wow patch 3.1 and I need to do wow power leveling for the cheapest wow gold or I have to search cheap wow gold on google search. The world changed since the 3.1 patch released. Short of buy wow gold for me wasn't so high frequency now. And I’m curious why this situation happened? The items became cheap? Or we can farm wow gold much easy? Hope someone can give me an answer.
