watchout5 commented on McGinn: The Mac Mayor.

I don't like the idea of city computers using MAC. It's way too expensive and you can accomplish everything with Ubuntu, which is free. Replacing all the computers to new computers that cost 2-3 times as much as other brands that do the exact same thing would be a giant waste of money. I'm not saying the city should be exclusively PC or MAC, but the majority of everything is currently on the much cheaper PC platform.

If they want to spend their own money switching every computer system platform that's fine by me. If Mike, and a few other select staffers prefer a mac over a PC, or need something that's exclusively on mac I see no problem with it. I'm a little concerned with the price of upgrades, that are usually necessary for some software upgrades, something that also makes windows cheaper as even something like windows XP can play 99% of the programs.

I had no idea McGinn was a mac guy, but as you say whatever works for you. Technology kicks ass even if it's way overpriced. I don't think it really matters what you use, so long as you get whatever it is you want done. I think in terms of social media iPhone was really created ot serve that crowd, but I would hope when the campaign is over and the real work starts to get done a few of those staffers will think twice about a blackberry. :p

When I find something that entertains me and I decide that the gains in my entertainment are worth supporting the further development of the game I don't consider myself a fool for that. Now, they might be talking about this because facebook has thrown their hat into the ring, which have really exploded the market. I have no idea why people would give games like that money, but for what it's worth they must be doing something entertaining. Hollywood wish they had that kind of power.

Well, if there was any shred of hope Mallahan had for my vote he lost it. He dodged almost every single question, what an idiot.

I love how Tim tries to gain supporters. "I mean like, don't people who read your newspaper pay taxes, they should be begging for this opportunity to put more money in their pocket regardless of the consequences". Education is a right Mr. Eyeman, I'm sorry you don't seem to understand that but I suggest you find a new state to get paid to destroy, we all pretty much think you're a horses ass. I know you love money more than anything in the world, I know your priorities in life are money, money, money and more money but the majority of the people care about more things than just money, take your fascism and get the heck out of my state.

watchout5 commented on "Is Jay Leno a Corporate Shill?".

I was getting ready to switch to cable internet and the guy was like "what, you don't watch TV, that's really strange" and I countered with "with all the advertising I can't get any useful information out of that thing, it's all boner ads and blood pressure medicine". He quickly gave up and sold me the internet.
