Rush Limbaugh of Technology Award Goes To: Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley.

Congratulations to Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley. Well, Randall C. Kennedy you got one too. Too bad you are a disgrace to everyone with name Kennedy. As a matter of fact I believe that Jamie Kennedy is a smarter Tech Journalist than you, Randall. Wait a minute, Jamie Kennedy is not even a Tech Journalist, yet he’s still smarter than you. Not that funny but definitely smarter than you.

Anyway, once again congratulations to Ed Bott, Paul Thurrott, Mary Jo Foley and Randall C. Kennedy to win “Rush Limbaugh of Technology” Award. Calling you guys Tech Journalists are a stretch.

Note to Leo Laporte. We know that you’ve realized that you’ve made a huge mistake asking Paul Thurrott to be a part in your precious TWiT Network. Thurrott is like the curse, just like the stray. You feed him once and now he stays. (Yeah, there’s a Metallica reference)

Dump that Microsoft P.R. Weekly (disguised as Windows Weekly) podcast of yours Mr. Laporte. Get real Tech Journalists to host the show instead of the shameless hack that Thurrott is.

Anticipating Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7.

I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard build 10A432 on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo. I also have just received Windows 7 RTM a few days ago.

At a glance, both Operating Systems are completely functional and ready for release despite of some of the promised features missing on the current builds. There’s no biggie because those features are not as critical as I thought they would be.

Now, a lot of people are talking about the possibility of Snow Leopard ship date to be August 28th, 2009. That’s only a few days away from the time-stamp of this post. Apple still says that Snow Leopard will ship sometimes in September 2009. We will all find out if the August 28th date is just a pure speculation. In the meantime, you can still order Snow Leopard direct from Apple and your favorite retailers.
