Linux is great. It's a free, open-source operating system (OS) based on work done by Linus Torvalds in the early '90s. Again, it's free, powerful and easy to ...
Oh wait, it's a pain to use. Let's get this straight: Linux is very good, and leads the charge in an ongoing revolution in free software. However, a lot of Linux users out there give the whole thing a poor name. They forget that most people don't know as much as they do about computers. Some people garden, write poetry, fall in love or ... er, bloviate about gadgetry.
Please don't confuse your fanaticism with superiority and, for the love of Jobs, stop telling us we're sheep under the sway of Microsoft. No one likes Comcast either, but until it's convenient to string our own fiber optic cable we're sticking with it. (Msnbc.com is a Microsoft-NBC Universal joint venture.)
Cool if: You're not heaping disdain on the rest of us, or maybe if you're in charge of a server farm.
Not cool if: You feel your mastery of computers excuses your inability to control a neck-beard."
Sounds like someone slipped of his meds..

Oh you are such a sucker if you bought one of these.
Apple's new MacBook Pro, meanwhile, is crafted from aluminum using a process code-named "Brick" that involves lasers and water (... and unicorns and David Bowie and trucker hats and whatever else is hip in places like Brooklyn these days).
But the MacBook Air? No amount of breathless advertising sufficiently obscures the fact that you paid a premium for an elegantly designed, under-featured, overpriced laptop without an optical drive.
What does it do? It fits in an interoffice mail envelope and it has rounded edges. Forward that junk to Frank in Design. After all, everyone already knows he's a self-indulgent boob.
Cool if: You're a rich, self-indulgent trend-follower.
Not cool if: You'd like to avoid looking like such a rich, self-indulgent trend-follower."
He must be a PC....
Seriously, who wrote this crap?

"The New Phone Books Are Here! Page 73, Johnson, Navin, R.! I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book every day! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity, your name in print, that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now."

And those Dbag laws about hands free is only followed by Dbags and those who don't know better.
Cant tell you how many cops ive seen here in California driving around with one hand on the wheel and the other on the cell phone.

Also, you're forgetting that everyone who drives a manual transmission car drives with just one hand on the wheel a lot of the time. it doesn't make a difference.
