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.

The recently laid-off by CBS Radio, Adam Carolla brings his shows exclusively on podcast. Recorded from Carolla’s own home, the podcast should help fans of the show from grieving from the show cancellations. Carolla is actually still under contract with CBS Radio until the end of 2009, thus the podcast will be commercial free. Since it is no longerbroadcasted on terrestrial radio, the show is no longer bound by FCC rules. That means no more bleeping and more swearing. Take that, FCC!

Adam Carolla and Tom Leykis Get The Pink Slips

Adam Carolla Show and Tom Leykis Show are cancelled. Head to 971freefm.com for the final Live Webcast.

3912120

UPDATE:
Tom Leykis starts Thursday show with “Leykis 101” and he is planning to talk about the future of the show at 5PM Pacific Time. Leykis has a “no-cut contract” until 2011.

Starting Friday February 20th, 2009 at 05:00PM, KLSX as we know it will cease to exist. CBS Radio, the parent company of KLSX is set to throw away the FM Talk Radio format and replace it with Top 40 Radio.

Editorial:
Way to stand out from any other radio stations, CBS. Tag, end sarcasm.

This change of format left number of hosts losing their jobs, notably Adam Carolla and Tom Leykis. Along with Carolla and Leykis, the casualty list extends to Frosty Stilwell, Heidi Hamilton, Frank Kramer (all three from “Frosty, Heidi & Frank” show), Tim Conway Jr., and to some extent Danny Bonaduce.

CBS Radio feels the urge to “amp-up” their bottom line by switching to AMP-Radio format, all Top 40 all the time.

Editorial:
Let’s see how the FM Radio Market look like in Southern California. They are either playing the same “Top 40” junks or speaking something other than English. Congratulations CBS Radio, you’ve just blended in perfectly with everybody else. By the way, I can still listen to podcasts and there are great Internet Radio Station such as Pandora and Last FM. I’d like to mention that I have an extensive collection of music on my shelf, I’ll just listen to them instead of your “top” 40 radio.

Adam Carolla has announced that he’d be going the Leo Laporte way and producing his own podcast at www.adamcarolla.com.

Tom Leykis is expected to make announcement on his plan after being booted of CBS Radio. The Tom Leykis Show is popular with 24-to-54-year-old-men demographic.

Stay tuned.

Paul Thurrott Was Hospitalized After Watching New Apple Ads

Dedham, Masschusetts

On the evening of October 19th, 2008 Paul Thurrott was reportedly rushed to the local hospital. According to neighbors, loud strings of profanities were heard over 15 mile radius that Sunday evening. That prompted them to call 911. Paramedic, Firefighter and the Police arrived within a few minutes on the Thurrotts residence .

Upon arrival, Police found Thurrott screaming and yelling “I’m a P.C.!” repeatedly. It took 13 personnel to subdue violent Paul Thurrott.

In his padded cell, Thurrott mentioned that he will announce the “ultimate declaration of war against Apple” on Microsoft behalf on TWiT‘s Microsoft P.R. Weekly Windows Weekly podcast which he co-hosts with Leo Laporte.

Paul Thurrott, the original Microsoft Defender, apparently was watching the new Apple “Get A Mac” ads which were released on that fateful Sunday. According to doctors, Thurrott is lacking sense of humor as well as some common sense. Doctors also found that Thurrot is suffering from some sort of blindness, that causes him to be unconditionally loyal to Microsoft.

According to Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott insisted that he would be available to record the next install ment of Viva La Microsoft Wekly Windows Weekly episode 80 this Thursday. Thurrott is expected to make a full recovery by then, and he will be cursing Apple for those new “Get A Mac” ads. Thurrott swears that he will bring Apple down for “all the lies” they have been spreading about Microsoft and Windows Vista. Thurrott also adds that he is the only tech journalist in the world who knows the truth about the great Microsoft.

Paul Thurrott Spews Garbage Again

As expected, Paul Thurrott the original Microsoft Defender spews garbage again on Microsoft P.R. Weekly a.k.a. Windows Weekly podcast episode 70 (yeah, it is podcast not necast, Leo Laporte).

Thurrott defends Microsoft’s pathetic attempt at damage control known as “Mojave Experiment.”

It seems that Leo Laporte is feeding Thurrott’s ego with some compromises about the propaganda. Thurrott is quick to dismiss all the problems with Microsoft’s “Mojave Experiment” propaganda. According to Mr. Microsoft Defender, “Mojave Experiment” is so effective in making people talking about Windows Vista again. Yeah, people are now talking about how stupid this “Mojave Experiment” propaganda is. Even John C. Dvorak, tech pundit/troll extraordinaire calls “Mojave Experiments” makes Microsoft humiliates ignorant users and itself.

In addition to the “Mojave Experiment” garbage, Thurrott subconsciously acknowledges that Microsoft has only been selling Windows Vista Licenses and not installed on computers. Of course Thurrott eludes to elaborate more regarding the sales numbers (Microsoft P.R./Windows Weekly 70 18:00 mark). Thurrott in the past has been quick to “disect” any statistics regarding non-Microsoft products such as Mozilla Firefox, the iPod and iPhone, Linux, Macs, Nintendo Wii, and Playstation 3.

Thurrott is so excited with Microsoft effort to strike back against Apple “Get A Mac” ads. Then again, Thurrott was so excited about the original Zune.

Paul Thurrott is nothing more than Microsoft P.R. in a Tech Journalist skin.
