Confirmed: Apple will try to SPOIL Microsoft 9/9 product launches

Can you believe the audacity of this company? Apple is actually going to try and take attention away from two Microsoft product launches, one for a blue laser mouse, and one for Windows Live Video Messages, by actually hosting a special product launch event on the EXACT SAME DAY!!! Wrapped in shrouds of doubt and uncertainty, what Apple's planning is anybody's guess.

Yeah, that's what this blog would be like if I was a partisan loser. :)

Anyhoo, it looks like Apple is having an iPod event on September 9. I just hope they get some press, given what Microsoft's already planned.

There's a line from one of the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary that we often quote in our household:

"First time funny, second time silly, third time spanking."

Don't worry, Paul. I'm sure you; give each product a preview, quick review, detailed review and review of the updated ROM.

You may not be partisan (I think), but you are painting yourself a loser.

And you are correct as painting yourself as an Error.

That's too funny. You get an "A" for headline grabbing as I fell for it. I feel so used;)

The more Apple and Microsoft try to look or act different, the more they actually end up looking or acting alike. Its like dealing with the devil. Either way, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Its like two children fighting over the same toy and then in the next minute, the toy sits all by itself.

The conditions are ripe for the next Steve Jobs or the next Bill Gates to steal the show from both companies. I don't think Google is up to it, but we shall see.

...and another WinJihadist takes the bait, falling for Paul's gag headline hook, line and sinker.

It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Is Microsoft starting to look like an underdog?.  I use both mac and pc so I hope both companies give us the best software and "user experience" there is. Is Paul a secret mac fanboy?
