Unibody MacBook for The Weekend

I currently have a Unibody MacBook on loan for the weekend. I definitely like it, but personally I really need FireWire port on the MacBook. I am planning to get the Unibody MacBook Pro sometimes in early 2009.

I installed Windows on the MacBook, and it seems to handle it really well, be it XP or Vista.

More to come.

John Gruber, we need you to rid the world off Paul Thurrott

Editorial:

There are a lot of pseudo tech journalists blabbing their mouth without even using any logic. On of them is none other than Paul Thurrott, the original Microsoft Defender.

Why people still read anything he writes is a mystery. Why Leo Laporte is stroking Thurrott’s ego in TWiT’s Microsoft P.R. Weekly Windows Weekly is also baffling.

This world need John Gruber to once again expose the fraud that Paul Thurrott is.

One main reason why Microsoft P.R. Weekly Windows Weekly is hosted only by Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott is because anyone can easily debunk Thurrott’s statements.

Thurrott believes that he is the only person who knows the truth, and he is the only person in the world who can do something about it. What about all the lies you have been covering up about Microsoft, Thurrott?

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.
