Gizmodo gets the goods on Goatberg here. In a new video, Walt says the Dell XPS personal computer is slightly ahead of the iMac in terms of its hardware design. Sure, he also says that all in all the iMac is a better computer, since it has a better OS and costs less. Nevertheless, part of Walt's top-secret access deal with us is that in exchange for getting sneak peeks at our stuff he never says anything is better than an Apple product in any way. Katie is trying to reach Walt now to find out what the fuck he thinks he's doing. If this keeps up we may have to make him a buy-out offer too. Not that we do that. Because we don't.
UPDATE: Major relief. We've been informed that the person playing "Walt Mossberg" in that video shown on Gizmodo is actually an impersonator called Fake Walt Mossberg. The real Walt Mossberg says he's never even looked at the Dell XPS computer. Great news for fans of Walt's All Things D franchise -- the site will remain in business. Much love to Apple's legal team for going the extra mile and doing all the research necessary to find out that this wasn't an actual Mossberg video. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's stuff like this that makes us different -- and, yes, better -- than other companies.

Taking the "1984" thing to heart? I've always been a fan at newspeak, even though I'm not good at it. But I get the idea; Dell what?
obviously he's a paid shill. i mean, his opinion is different than mine superior opinion so he must be getting paid by dell and or microsoft.
I'm extremely upset you made me watch such a boring video.
You've lost a reader.
The poor quality of the video is part of the irony: a five-year-old true Mac fan could make a better video, but the God of Mac produces this monstrosity. Hilarious!
Mossy: there's a thing called lighting. Have you heard of it?
@andy: i didn't know FSJ was tying us down. on my iMac, i have to press play first. Must be that Dell you're using...
I invented friggin lighting. Have you heard of it?

What you don't understand is that FSJ was actually right behind Andy, and in fact forcing Andy's hand and button to press play, among other things, in a totally non-gay sort of way.
this just in.
slashdot reported that mossberg received a theatening letter from the apple legal team. commentary from enderle to follow
Please tell me I don't have to explain that I was making fun of some recent days' comments .

Dell and Gateway both came out with all-in-one's called 'One' (how fucking creative). Personally, I think Gateway's One is way more sexy.
I slapped one on a sack of potatoes at a Flagship Tom Thumb after hours, and I still got caught, well, at least I didn't lose my camera, I had to give up the 2GB memory chip and my sticker supply. I think I had the last laugh when I shook hands with store night manager, said no hard feelings and slapped one sticker on her back.
anonymous with advertising the dellgatewaymachine. I thank you for your advertise. I' ve just mocked about the "win the machine button" on this page.
not only that, fakey steve-o, but long-time apple pom-pom waving gal, cali lewis (accent on the pom-poms, ba-da-BING!), almost sounds like .
tsk, tsk. let one sheep outta the gate, and soon they all want to follow. sounds like katie is falling down on the job. time to make some bellicose job security threats, i'd say.
ok, my post looked fine when i previewed it, then it got all mangled by blogger, yet again. can you puh-leez look into that, fakey-steve-o? for the umpteenth time, it's drivin' me nuts.
>>>If this keeps up we may have to make him a buy-out offer too. Not that we do that. Because we don't.
I can always count on your for a laugh!! Thanks!
are you effing kidding me? that guy looks EXACTLY like walt. FSJ, you've been one upped.
Wowgoldbag - you best wow article sources for world of warcraft. You can find lots of articles relate to wow gold,and also tell you where to buy cheap wow gold!
ROTFL ;-) Dear FSJ, you made my day, once again.
ps : I wish I could make a living out of fake blogging too. You DL may have so much fun writing that stuff. Keep going.

The real goods are not the article/video. The real goods are found linked in the lefthand column. :)
