I just stumbled across Mister BG’s all-too-real parody of Apple’s Product Lifecycle. This is my favorite paragraph:
The haters offer their assessment. The forums are ablaze with vitriolic rage. Haters pan the device for being less powerful than a Cray X1 while zealots counter that it is both smaller and lighter than a Buick Regal. The virtual slap-fight goes on and on, until obscure technical nuances like, “Will it play multiplexed Ogg Vorbis streams?” become matters of life and death.
It’s funny because it’s true. Well done, sir.
Via Digg.

BOOM!
wait, it doesn’t play ogg vorbis? OMG!
Someone in Cupertino once told me “No one has seen everything on the WWW”. Pete, I REALLY enjoyed that. Thanks!
Peace,
