Now is not the time to be only ordinary, rise above the fray and be a Hero of the Day.
I’d really want to title this post: “Shit Slashdot Say” but it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of Slashdot users.
To be honest, are there any actual Mac users other than the one Slashdot user imagined angered by Apple by silently shutting down Java 7? In addition to that, the posting on Slashdot was 2 days late. Oracle released Java 7 Update 13 on February 1, 2013. Typical Apple-hating Slashdot user.
Now if only Meatloaf is here to give them the “You’ve gotta be kidding me!” award.
The short story: Tumblr was hacked and GNAA claims responsibility.

Welcome to the Internet.
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.
