I’ve told you so, no one should ever believe Paul Thurrott; The Original Microsoft Cheerleader.

Thanks to Chris Grande for exposing what Paul Thurrott really is; a Microsoft Cheerleader. Thanks to John Gruber for pointing out John Grande’s post.

From Daring Fireball:

Paul Thurrott’s Curiously Shifting Thoughts on Copy-and-Paste.

Delightful catch by Chris Grande.

You should read what Chris Grande wrote.

I for one have been noticing what a shill Paul Thurrott is. I even called him out on Leo Laporte’s TWiT network. It is funny how Leo Laporte is defending Paul Thurrott even though outside the Abomination of a show called “Windows Weekly” that should have been called “Microsoft P.R. Weekly” Laporte often expressed his disagreement with Thurrott. I theorize that Leo Laporte is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. You’ll never know which Leo Laporte would show up. There are a lot of real Tech Journalists can host “Windows Weekly” but Leo Laporte still insists that Paul Thurrott is fair and balanced. Yeah, just like Fox News.

A lot of time Thurrot does make valid points, only to have his credibility destroyed by his adoration with Microsoft. I don’t know if it’s a pure adoration or it’s financially motivated. I don’t know. This I know that Thurrott has the double standard whenever it comes to Microsoft and other companies.

Message to Leo Laporte, get someone who is not financially motivated by Microsoft to host Windows Weekly.

There I said it.

Google Nexus One Phone is Now Compatible With AT&T and Rogers Wireless 3G.

Google has silently added Nexus One Phone that is compatible with AT&T and Rogers Wireless 3G network.

https://www.google.com/phone/choose?hl=en&gl=US&s7e=

Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and Rogers Wireless (Canada)
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

The AT&T and Rogers Wireless 3G compatible version of Google Nexus One Phone sells for $529 just like its unlocked T-Mobile counterpart.

Google still on track to release Verizon Wireless and Vodafone versions of Nexus One Phone this Spring 2010. For sure some AT&T customer would buy this phone right now.

Would you “ditch” your iPhone for an AT&T Compatible Nexus One Phone? I know this guy just did it.

Rants: Windows Vista Home Basic is a digital abortion!

I’m working on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic installed. According to Dell, this computer is not fully compatible with Windows 7. Come on! This computer was purchased in late 2008 and is not compatible with Windows 7? Does that mean Windows Vista has to stay? Windows Vista Home Basic is performing So poorly on this computer. The 3GB of RAM can not stop Windows Vista from dragging everything down.

I should try installing Windows XP or Windows 7 on this computer. The next thing I have to do is finding all the drivers myself.

It begins, Apple iPad Pre-Order.

UPDATE 2:
Add screen recording of the pre-order. California Resident is subject to $8:00 Recycling Fee. I assume some other States have something similar.

UPDATE 1:
Apple is now taking iPad pre-orders.
http://store.apple.com/

When the clock strikes 3:30 in the AM Pacific Time, Apple Store Online went down for maintenance and updates. We all now know that Apple will be taking pre-orders for iPad on March 12th, 2010. Apple has set April 3rd, 1010 as the release date for iPad Wi-Fi only model, with the Wi-Fi+3G version to follow late April.

Get your credit-cards ready.
