Staton Facts wonders what the big deal about Mac is - Anderson Independent-Mail Posted: 04 Mar 2010 06:21 AM PST "24" Update: The script is once again alluding to some serious love between Renee and Jack. Poor Renee, this means she is dead for sure by season's end. You know those commercials that feature Justin Long as the "hip" Mac user while some other boring, drably clothed individual represents PCs? And they're both standing in a strange white room that doesn't appear to have a door? Yeah, you've seen those. Well, if I had to get lumped into a category I'd like to be "with it" and be viewed as a Justin Long. However, I have only used a Mac when absolutely necessary so I guess that means I'd be the other guy. I don't like Macs. My opinion may change in the future, but for now I don't like open appleing anything and I don't like the lack of customization. Considering I already wasn't a fan of Macs, the following Web site certainly doesn't help their cause with me. It's another list from Cracked.com that makes Apple sound like an organization straight out of "1984" and Steve Jobs sound like the spawn of Satan. The article reports that Apple is known for demonizing their critics and even goes on to accuse the company of being responsible for torturing a person that may or may not have leaked an iPhone. While I sincerely hope Apple wasn't responsible for torture, I will now be sympathizing with Bill Gates a little more than I ever thought possible. Or maybe that's what Gates wants. Perhaps he's the real evil overlord of the computer world and this is his smear campaign to make Steve Jobs look terrible. My guess? They're both a little dirty. Let's hope this doesn't mean I'll be hunted down by two Satan spawns for this little article. http://www.cracked.com/article_18377_5-reasons-you-should-be-scared-apple.html I once caught an episode of "Reading Rainbow" that featured a book on the relationship between kids with parents in jail. I thought this was somewhat of a downer for a show with "rainbow" in the title, but I got how this kind of book would be nice for kids in that particular situation. This episode also looked better once I viewed these funnyordie.com videos in which kids do book reviews for "American Psycho," "Mein Kampf" and "Lolita." Whoever came up with this is a twisted, sick individual with a fantastic sense of humor. The videos contain real "Reading Rainbow" footage of LeVar Burton from the '80s, followed by current footage of the kids' book reviews, which makes Burton look like a deranged skeezball that allowed these kids to read highly inappropriate books. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5d1bdd28a0/reading-rainbow-banned-book-review-1 Here's a site with no text, no point and no explanation. It's just a brown and white striped virtual guy in a dark void that you swirl around with your mouse. It's kind of like the old George Bush falling through space site but much stranger. http://www.maninthedark.com/ If you're one of the unfortunate people who hasn't played "Falling Bush," you must do so now in order to continue using the Internet. http://www.addictinggames.com/fallingbush.html Urban Dictionary Word of the Day: stealth abs (n.) — when your ripped six pack is covered by a thick layer of fat.
