Michael Dell, Steve Ballmer, uh… Joseph HP… Ol’ Man Compaq… does that help?

Psystar, do NOT f–k with the iEmpire!

ARRGGHHHH!!! It is so frustrating to have been saying this literally for months, but one of the big boys says it, and all of a sudden it is as if they invented the wheel.

World of Apple’s coverage of this event before any other sources that I know of other than Groklaw. That article links to an APRIL piece where I had already said the same thing.

In fact, here are all of my articles on the Psystar saga and I dare anyone to find an Apple site that has covered it better.

Do I sound frustrated? Yes I am. I guess I have to be one of the popular kids on the block, not simply do thorough and accurate reporting.

The links appear not to have gone through

My article on this development before any other Apple site (that I know of)

All my Psystar articles

Now I am going to the nearest wall to pound my head against.

Interesting, your RSS feed that displayed a snippet of this article on it… also had a psystar ad on it.

Yeah it would show a snippet because of a link back with me posting here. Yeah isn’t it hilarious that the Psystar ad showed up!!! We are aware of it (that isn’t my site by the way, I am just on staff). The owner is working with Google to get that ad taken out of rotation. Every site owner has a funny google ad story. I was once at a theology site that kept getting porn ads.

Thank you for visiting the links. I know I vented here, but this is one of the sites I love, so it bugged me even more. I bust my balls (not literally, I am a girl) on these Psystar stories, provide excellent coverage, yet still get ignored just because some huge site does a snippet.

And no, I am not being arrogant in singing my own praises, I work for hours on some of those pieces, and I really do strive for excellence on the work I do for World of Apple. If you doubt me, go to the reviews section and read my product reviews. Most vendors are ecstatic about the level of detail I give, and due to that, take the criticisms very well, often really consider implementing changes in the next point release.

Cult of Mac is on the top of my blog list, its like getting snubbed by the boy I passed a note to that said “I like you, do you like me?”

Immature probably, but I am sure you can understand that if you do good work it is nice to get at least some credit for it. At my personal blog (idrankthekoolaid.com), I give tons of link love to Cult of Mac.

Dang, those links point to keyloggers…

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some record labels included on the list.

the Dude, on December 4th, 2008 at 6:22 am

Keyloggers? That the heck are you talking about? Those links are to articles on World of Apple. Don’t trust the links? Type World of Apple in yourself and the Psystar stuff is likely still on the first page. I don’t like being accused of posting nefarious links. I ask that you retract that accusation. I am a professional legal assistant (not an attorney) writing on the subject; I do not appreciate the libel one bit.
