Tech: Fake Steve Jobs trashes all over the emergence of a Google OS

  • Somehow if you put out a new operating system you’ll get more people using the Internet and then you’ll be able to sell more of those $#%@*^ little ads?
  • Fake Steve Jobs (a.k.a. Daniel Lyons) • Discussing why Google’s new operating system is going to fail. Our favorite part? When he trashes on the tiny size of the netbook market. “Frankly, if the entire netbook market caught fire,” he says, “I wouldn’t piss on it to put it out. But that’s just me.” Oh Fake Steve. *fawn* • source

Culture: Conservatives don’t realize Cobert is joking. Colbert is thrilled.

  • I’m thrilled by it! From the very beginning, I wanted to jump back and forth over the line of meaning what I say, and the truth of the matter is I’m not on anyone’s side, I’m on my side. The important thing is that the audience laughs.
  • Stephen Colbert • Regarding an Ohio State University poll which found most conservatives thought he was “one of them.” The comical pundit puts in a lot of long hours to bring teh funnay, with both him and his staff of 90 working 12-hour days, which he makes look unbelievably easy. • source
