The magic of wishful thinking ... This time in the Apple camp

Recent reports of a magic IE 8 performance boost make me smile because this kind of thing is simply human. We all see what we want to see, what we expect to see. It's just part of our DNA.

Rare Bigfoot sighting, er ah, Office crash

You know, there are certain staples in the world of Microsoft bashing. The publicly-located informational flat-screen display showing a blue screen.

Say goodbye to laser ... and, for Mac fanatics, to sanity

LOL. Here's a beautiful example of the Apple fanboy world seeing everything through Apple-colored lenses. Seriously, you people are just embarrassing yourselves now.
