Gulf News pissed with EmiratesMac

[venky83]

From experience I can tell you that they would want your blood.

Well, they would want more than just your blood.. but we are a family site so let's not push beyond the PG rating shall we?

So I had to see the drama for myself after Ultrablue told me about this on the phone laughing away.
Being misinformed isn't the worst thing ever next to stupidity.Ignorance can be corrected, right? It seems like he doesn't even want to be, which is a problem. And as for his comment on it being his last column.. That's plain attention seeking and pathetic.


For Aslan!

Who says Mac is the greatest, Scott? Mac is perfectly normal and does what a computer should do in the first place unlike Windows. I hope you get the drift.

Hey, I'm not even remotely pissed. You people make my day Really. You read my column and respond. That's awesome.
But comparing Mac users to Harley owners? Come on.

Hey Scott, welcome to our community. Thanks for stopping by! We may be a very passionate Apple community but we're also very willing to help and engage in discussions. Yes, sometimes we get a bit carried away, but normally we're a pretty good bunch.

He's got one thing right, a Mac is in no way a Harley. A Mac is a Suzuki. A Harley is an old beat up 94 civic WITHOUT a JDM engine.

This is the quality of journalism in the UAE folks. and people wonder why I dont read the local newspapers.

Welcome Scott, glad to have u here,

BTW, maybe we are not that good in writing as you, but we have a monthly newsletter, check the online version here, hope u can see the hardcopy.

Scott, the only thing that pissed me (I'm the one who talked about prices BTW) is u was (by all methods) defending M$ and offending Mac, when writing in newspaper u should b a little neutral, dont u think?

"Get a life", thats my slogan on the messenger actually!!!, because i used to have Windows XP, but since switching i feel i got a life, because with WinXP i used to "Waste a life" with restarting and fixing errors.

iPhone is crackable because its awesome and crackers from the whole world were working on cracking it!!!

I hope you enjoy this column. It may be my last. I have offended the Mac users of the world. Apparently, that means the death penalty.

Hey, I'm not even remotely pissed.

I am watching an opera here

Whatever you do for living, hope you did not get yourself fired in workplace. writing for national newspaper I guess you have some social responsibility and not misguide the general public at large.



Who calls 'Macintosh' for 'Mac' in 2008? It must be 'Scott'!!

Let's give him a break folks. He did what no one else in a similar position has done before, he registered here and started to engage with us all. Let's try to make this into something constructive and learn from one another.
