@Waethorn - Sorry, but your storry is irrelevent. I have seen adults bring in HP, Compaq, Dell, and other Windows based computers in exactly the same shape...for the same reasons. It has nothing to do with Mac vs. PC...it has to do with being careless and irresponsible.

"For the record I could care less what he uses. "

True. If you cared a little less you'd only have 2 links denying it could be true. If you cared even less than that you'd have posted only one link in defense of your product. Why, you could have really cared less and just whined "it can't be true. I like him so he must love his iPod" without any links.

Personally, I'm just amused watching the Apple fanatics sputter as they deal with even the concept of liking somebody who isn't part of their little cult.

Not quite right there Mike, by all accounts it appeared that the initial reporter can't be sure just what he was using:

www.tomsguide.com/.../Barack-Obama-Zune-iPod-MP3,news-3087.html

blogs.wsj.com/.../obama-zunegate-day-two

And even the Zune Fanboys site acknowledge it:

www.zuneboards.com/.../36750-obama-doesnt-use-zune.html

For the record I could care less what he uses. What MP3 player the president uses means absolutely nothing nor is it relavent.

"Real men don't use dictionaries?"

That explains losta. ;)

"POTUS 44 is an ipod user"

So is he pulling another "Clinton" and claiming he didn't inhale?

BTW: Funny, but totally true story:

Yesterday another iTard (this makes more sense in context) brought a 13" White Macbook in to my store for servicing. I was out on a service call at the time, so one of my workers brought it in. Anyway, the guy had it in because he had it in his school backpack.

He also had a bottle of pop in there.

Put 2 & 2 together.

What was his obvious instinctual action to do the moment he found out?:

TO PLUG IT IN TO SEE IF IT WORKED!!!

I mean, COME ON!

The inside of it was drenched, and most of it was drained, but HE LEFT THE BATTERY IN IT! It was still there when he brought it in!

When I got a chance to look at it, the components were still wet and sticky, and after finding an online doc on how to disassemble it (it takes 25 screws to take just the keyboard off - RIDICULOUS!), I cracked open the top, and immediately got a whiff of good ol' southern-fried electronics.

Now it's a $1200 piece of unusable (but sticky - from what I'm hoping is the pop) shiny white plastic. That's an expensive paper weight!

All I have to say is:

"!?!"

"We were so poor, that we couldn't afford a dictionary."

Don't they say, "Real men don't use dictionaries?"

"Why should I have to pay to carry advertising around?"

That's the reason I won't wear these t-shirts. That's the reason I give away my Apple stickers to friends who put them on their cars or non-Apple laptops. :)

Now, if Microsoft paid me to do this...

OMG how awesome is the Bill Gates mug shot on a t-shirt. I love that they can do that and not take themselves so seriously. Brilliant.

Microsoft putting out t-shirts? Hard to believe, but they must be going out of style. Not that these are particularly unstylish. I'd rather wear something like this than a worn band shirt.

"And, as expected, and right on time, several of my points have now been demonstrated."

And vice versa :)

Well, to be fair, we've been pretty much focused on Unicode at Microsoft since Michel Suignard and Asmus Freytag gave us a lecture on it during the NT Live lecture series back in 1991. (The Windows NT family has been based on Unicode since long before it went public)

Wow! 86 comments, most of them MS vs Apple wank.... and a flounce from robertsjoe to boot!

... all because of t-shirts!

Amazing!

Mike, you looked up the binary in an ASCII table? I'm shocked. (I confess to having to get help to remember some of the punctuation now and then, although usually I can work it out. It was easier when they lined up properly with a KSR-33 keyboard.)

Tayme, I've been using Apple products since Oct, 1977. I've never attached an Apple decal to anything.

These days, it is hard to find a plain grey sweatsuit. I've been looking for about 3 years, and replacing the shirt from 1992 is getting critical. Why should I have to pay to carry advertising around?

We were so poor, that we couldn't afford a dictionary. Sorry for the typo. But Wae, my dad was a fireman and a musician. On weekends, he played in a country western band for years, but near the end of his career, he played in a rock band. It was great to see him play at friends weddings and stuff. That brings back good memories. But not even this good doctor could save him. He's where I got my electronic skills as he was an auto mechanic and electronic repairman too. Before that stuff, he was a drill instructor in the Army. You can bet that the we never left the toilet seat up!

As for what President Elect Obama listens to on his Zune, the Zune Insider blog lists his playlist at social.zune.net/.../ContentRedirect.ashx

I will get one if it isn't over-the-top nerdy. But cool idea, anyway.
