Idiot of the Day, Forbes’ Louis Bedigian

I wonder how much do Louis Bedigian and Forbes editors get paid. Apparently fact-checking is not something they like doing. Either that or they should work for Fox News.

During the summer patent trial involving Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung, jurors found that Apple was guilty of infringing on Samsung’s patents and awarded the company $1 billion in damages.

It should say: “jurors found that Samsung was guilty of infringing on Apple’s patents”

Moron of The Week: Adam Frucci of Gizmodo

Yet another gem from Gizmodo, where common sense is not required. It is Adam Frucci who must be desperate for page-views on his contributions. Spare yourself from reading the abomination that is his so-called article. A not-so-well-thought-out excerpt:

“Every single Mac app costs money. Where’s the freeware on Macs? On the PC, I used Texter to create macros for things I type a lot, which is free. On the Mac, there’s TextExpander, and it’s $30. There are loads of free FTP clients for the PC. On Mac, you use Transmit, and it’s $30. Tweetie is a nice enough Twitter client, but it sure isn’t $15 worth of nice. TextMate is a great, robust text editor, but no text editor is worth $54.”

Seriously? Every single Mac app costs money?

I guess Adam Frucci is the authority of computing world. He knows for sure that every single Mac app costs money. There are no freeware.

  • I wonder what Filezilla is. It is an open source FTP client that is available for Linux, Mac and Windows. It is also free.
  • There’s Cyberduck. “Cyberduck is an open source FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Mosso Cloud Files and Amazon S3 browser for the Mac.” It is also free.
  • There are other free Mac OS X FTP clients.

Evaluating the statement about the absence of freeware on Mac OS platform, we hereby award Adam Frucci as Moron of The Week.

Way to go for perpetuating the idiotic Mac vs. Windows argument, Mr. Adam Frucci. Please stop using computer now.

If you want to read his idiotic “article” just search for “Adam Frucci Mac Freeware” using your favorite search engine (Google).

Reviews of Movies I Have Not Seen.

On this posting, I will be reviewing movies that I have not seen. As a matter of fact, none of any members of the general public has seen the movie. I’ll review it based on the online preview.

It’s an easy thing to review those movies, just like what Paul Thurrott is doing with his brilliant preview of Apple’s revamped and rebranded .Mac service; MobileMe.

How in the world Paul Thurrott knows anything about MobileMe? Thurrott is the last person you want to hear from when it comes to anything non-Microsoft. As a matter of fact, it’s painful to listen to Thurrott, because he sounds like a Microsoft PR person; if he is not one already.

For the love of whatever God you believe in, please stop your web-hit seeking babbles. You have not used MobileMe service, and no one should read or listen to your misleading opinions. You parrots anything that Microsoft puts out and keeps telling people that you are impartial. Don’t you remember that you actually published your opinions in magazine and on the Internet.

What’s next? You’re going to preview and review Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Maybe you’d convince your readers that  Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a Windows 7 rip-off.
