Another very humorous article by Clinton Forbes; just make sure to read the entire thing, lest we have any more "I told you that Vista sucks because..." threads..

Normally I believe all the front page stuff, that article took me a while to find it was fake. I kept reading through it saying "no way" to myself till I got to
at the bottom of the page.

completely pointless, and total crap.
misinformation with wild abandon.
(but you scream: don't believe everything you read! and "always check the source" and "don't take things too seriously" and "the authors were having fun and so was the frontpage" and "youre gullible!")
guess what. its the front page of OVERCLOCKERS.COM
if skip, ed or joe wanted to have some fun, i suspect they could have had plenty of fun in the humor thread, GD, blue/green/Red areas... or even posted to a discussion area with an incognito account (come on, you know they have them along with the reds they had the power to give themselves...)
im a little disgusted. for the first time ive lost trust in the frontpage.
should i REALLY have to distrust it?
should i question the motives of our own top three?
the articles have been pretty good the last few months, and now they just completely screw the pooch. whats up with this?

i sent ed an email about it. this is the kind of story you cannot read and take seriously, but literally hundreds of thousands have: http://clintonforbes.blogspot.com/2007/03/funnily-enough-apple-fans-dont-always.html
i know I got the joke, but i know lot won't, and will take it at face value. i know i take most things on the front page at face value. look at the front page today, there is a retractor (of sorts).

Orson Welles must be looking down on all this right now and having a good chuckle...

It was an obvious joke from the get-go.
Do you honestly think that a huge sophisticated company like Microsoft would take a CD their mole found in the trash seriously?
Also I don't care how high and mighty Mr Gates might be (he's more down to earth than Jobs), there would be too many flags thrown up by the coding teams and several levels of managers for even Bill to ignore.

Yes it was an obvious joke. It's about a month too late, however. It's OK to post things like that, in that way, on April 1st.
The number of people who'll say how witty the story on the front page was is by far less than the number of people who'll be pi**ed off so the big picture is it shouldn't have been done on any other day other than April 1.
