Rarely do I say anything in depth about Microsoft and its head cheerleader Mr. Bill Gates, but this time around I really got peeved about this story where he is talking about the latest Apple ad bashing Vista.

Bill is quoted as saying:

“And I don’t know why [Apple is] acting like it’s superior. I don’t even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things, or if you’re really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There’s not even the slightest shred of truth to [the ideas about Vista upgrades presented in the Apple commercial he said he had not seen].”

My lord dude, are you living in another friggin’ dimension? The whole point those Apple ads are humorus is because they are true. Funny is based on truth, dipstick! Where the heck has Bill Gates been keeping his brain the past five years? Hasn’t he read the news and feedback on Vista and got the vibe that so far it pretty much sucks, along with the rest of the planet?

Apparently not. I mean, how can it be when he makes statements like this?

“Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.”

Really Bill? Is that so? News to me, and I even use one of those security-flawed Mac machines. Actually, I’ve used one for about 4 years and I’ve not been “taken over totally”.

I don’t think it gets much better than this:

Yea, it’s the state law versus federal but scary nonetheless:

Chapter 272: Section 36. Blasphemy

Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior.

Sounds like medieval Europe to me. Isn’t that why we started this country in the first place?

Also, should it not be “whomever”? These guys are running the state?
