A theory about assholes that moan about Apple
Marco Arment has reposted a brilliantly boneheaded comment from some jerk on The Verge who says…well, I have no idea what. The whole thing makes no sense. It’s pretty much like something out of Trollem Ipsum. You should read it in full and Marco’s “Bitch…please…” response.
One of my mates has this theory - if a developer hates Macs, they are usually crap, and don’t advance...

Microsoft are liars
Haven’t waded through my RSS feeds to see if there are any good knock-offs this week, but in the meantime, I can confirm that Microsoft are liars - since when is Plaintext, for the iPhone, which is free and syncs with Dropbox, not a “free note-taking app for your phone”?

More on Readability and declaring my interest
Sorry, should now declare my interest in this. I figured I should probably check whether they owed me anything. And they do.
If whoever the idiot is that sent “I am an Apple fanboy” and “I am confident in my opinion” to their Readability account would like get in touch, I will personally refund his or her money.
I’m debating what to do with the rest. Might set up a charitable foundation. Or...

So very correct
Given, allegedly, how few, allegedly, units were, allegedly, sold, one is invited to consider how many “units” of this appropriately named guide were “shipped”.

An Important Announcement regarding “Pundit-Matic™...
We noted today, via The Macalope, that a Mr Evilneuro has created a website that generates amusing faux-punditry on Apple products. It’s very clever. And very funny. And sounds like something we’ve done.
This will not do.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
”“Inspired” by Apple has invested substantial resources in research and development through the months, which has resulted in numerous patented inventions...

I can only assume Samsung had nothing to announce. Apple fanbois, the lot of them.

Apple Keynote Bingo
I figured that what we probably needed for Wednesday is a scorecard for Apple Keynote Bingo. We hope you like it. We’d like to show it to you. So here it is.
Don’t forget to read the rules. And - why not - a hashtag, #AppleKeynoteBingo.
Thanks, as before, to David Moss for interpreting my requests for it to be “a bit more…you know…so that it…you know…” into actual code...

Five Reasons Why This is the Worst Article I Have...
This is kind of off topic but there is nothing that makes me LOL more consistently and thoroughly than a puff piece on Apple rumours. So join me, as I explain, in true linkbait fashion, the five reasons why this piece from the International Business Times (“New iPhone 5 Release Date: 5 Ways it Will Beat the 4S”) is worst thing I have ever read on the internet:

More on the Razer Blade
More on this, courtesy of balanced-viewpoint-mongers The Verge (emphasis mine):
Even after the aforementioned BIOS update, though, you’re not going to want to play games without a cord: starting at 50 percent battery, we only managed 20 minutes of Battlefield 3 before the Blade told us that our juice was running out.
5.9. Dropping to 0.8 in 20 minutes time.
