Wow, Lynx, project much...
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's never been an all or nothing world, my friend. Bush is the only person who asserts a black and white view of the world more than you, and at least he's talking about important things.
And your most recent fact-less and personal-attack laden post just proves the point that to you, just like everyone else, view ethics on a sliding scale. Liking the Patriots no matter what they do (and I assure you, that's not even close to being the case) is just as bad as hating them no matter what they do. Two sides of the same coin. Your self-righteous high-road BS doesn't change this at all.
Hope you're happy in your misery..

"they've got the most hated fans in fandom running around making excuses for everything they do"

"When, exactly, did Johnson himself say that his comments were out of bounds?"
[Read the article: Having it both ways]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He didn't. Hillary will say anything to get the nomination. I'm starting to think that a portion of the Clinton-bashing right was correct at least on one of their criticisms of the Clintons: triangulation - "What would you like me to believe in?" - "Well than that's my position!"
It may work well in stump speeches, but once you have a national audience, not so much. Hillary just doesn't have the raw charisma to pull it off like Bill.
One last observation - Clinton keeps selling herself as the only candidate who can "stand up" to the inevitable right-wing attacks that will come during the general election. If this is true, why has she been completely unable to rein in her own surrogates so that the media doesn't have some sound bite scandal to focus on rather than her positions? 'Cause, trust me folks, when it comes to the general, these missteps will be played over and over again endlessly until most of the "independent middle" of the electorate just accepts it as truth.
The Lewinsky affair WAS a witch hunt. Any fair-minded liberal could see that. But you know what didn't help? That someone didn't have enough good sense NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN AN EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIR! Apparently, Mrs. Clinton's political apple is still very close to Mr. Clinton's proverbial tree.

Like clockwork...
[Read the article: The iPhone's updates make it revolutionary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Machinist posts something positive about apple, the techies go nuts. You can set your watch by it.
As I post to the soccer nerds in Kaufmann's board: "It's a big internet, I'm sure someone is talking about what you want to hear". Big surprise; Just like King is not the Salon answer to a sports junkie's needs, Farhad is not the answer to someone who assembles their own hardware or writes their own software. He never will be, and you just look like nerds when you claim that you've had this or that feature for X amount of years now...
And why is it so bad that a tech product could be "stylish"? Obviously, "innovation" is a slippery term in a tech world where everyone steals everyone else's ideas and those who make money off the ideas are rarely the one who came up with it - so why are all the tech geeks upset that apple appropriates some ideas, adds some of their own, and then makes it "cool"?
Is it really worth all the vitriol and typing time?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]To answer your question (and I don't have any data to back this up, other than personal experience) I think its because a large majority of Apple users are politically liberal.

[Read the article: The iPhone's updates make it revolutionary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"That implies a certain expertise, or at least a focus in the world of technology beyond Apple product shows and press releases."
I'm seeing a great deal of non-apple articles in the last week:
Hasbro, Mattel fight Facebook scrabbler Scrabulous
Scientology fails to delete crazy Tom Cruise video
Mike McConnell wants to track all Internet traffic
Netflix offers unlimited movie streaming
Was the New Hampshire vote stolen?
It's official: Radiohead's experiment worked, kind of
The FCC examines Comcast's traffic-blocking plan
Peace is at hand in the pointless DVD war
Wikipedia founder's search engine gets bad reviews
Bill Gates' final CES keynote.
vs. 5 Apple articles. Seems to me like "other" wins. Especially when you take into account the rumor-filled week leading up to and including the MacWorld Expo - the event(s) during which virtually all new Apple product and software announcements are made. In fact, if you didn't read any computer-related articles for 2 weeks in January and August, you could avoid 99% of the press about Apple!
See, problem solved!

Hate, hate, hate...
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't you people see what you're doing? You'd think that after giving the Pats motivational fuel for the entire year you'd have learned by now?
The only way for the Pats to lose their motivation is if everyone gets on their bandwagon and says: "Hey, these guys are stand-up and not at all a bunch of cheaters. They deserve this! And Tom Brady's awful cute..."
Then, and only then, will they relax and try less-hard. But you've fallen into their obvious trap. Yet again..
