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”.

The old phaedrah.com & briandowney.net have been destroyed, and a Wordpress blog has been placed in its stead. Not that I didn’t like writing my own blog software, but I figured it was kind of pointless when much better alternatives already existed. Also, using it is much nicer and perhaps that will entice us to post more as well.
I’ve kept the old database around since it contains about two and a half years worth of news and comments. Perhaps there’s a way to import them into Wordpress, but that’ll be a task to tackle later.
So, with that welcome to our new site. The Gallery will be back along with the rest of the old left-menu links before too long.
