This somehow reminds me of a PETA campaign, and you know what most people seem to think of them.

The Apple ads are a good example; they're certainly funny and I enjoy them, but I can easily see how they come across as smug and condescending, and how they could reinforce haters' negative opinion of Macs and Apple in general.

When I think about it, most other negative ads that I've seen also came across as smug and condescending, especially negative political ads; definitely a turn off for me even when it was a candidate or product I liked.

This is one of the most insightful comments I've read here in a long time; wish I had mod points right now.

I think in this case it's more likely that potential fans were turned away from the show early on by those initial mediocre episodes, so that by the time the show got good, much of the audience was gone. Wouldn't be the first time that had happened.

What dumbass modded you Flamebait??? I wish I had mod points right now so that I could correct that.

I looked up that book on Amazon and it looks very interesting - think I'll pick up a copy. Thanks for the tip!

... I could actually see a Ghostbusters "reboot" working out with new guys like Paul Rudd, Seth Rogan, Jason Segal, and Sean William Scott.

How about a summary that describes the new Moblin release (what the post is ostensibly about), rather than focusing on the competition against Win7? How about being FOR something (Moblin in this case), rather than always being against Microsoft?

I'm no fan of Microsoft, but seriously, the one-note, constant Microsoft bashing on this site is getting old.

Apple's management really need to gather up their courage and actually establish some guidelines for approval. It seems apparent to me that such guidelines don't exist at all, even inside Apple, so the staff responsible for approval of apps have to make their own guess. Whether your app gets approved depends on the personal opinion of whichever random Apple staffer it was whose desk it came across, which would be why Apple's policy seems so inconsistent.

Do they claim to be from France?
