  • Apple, please stop talking utter BOLL&*KS

    Anyone following the Apple announcement yesterday, should have been dismayed by Apple’s on-going, incredibly stupid  use of percentages to drive home how good they are. When comparing Lion’s adoption rate, they threw up this slide. Seriously? How can anyone fall for this shite? A simple search on Bing will reveal… Read ⇢
