iPodready cars, look at the macintards jump for joy

A basic characteristic of all mac-ipod users is their inability to harmoniously combine two or more seemingly unrelated pieces of technology. Everything has to be pre-packaged for them--otherwise, they're clueless.

A basic example is the concept of drivers, i. e. the idea that you can make any device work for either Windows or Linux by just downloading and running the driver for it. 99.9% of mac users don't even know what a driver is. To them, if a computer doesn't work with a device just after plugging it in, it means their system is broke, period.

This fact is also illustrated by their jumping for joy when macs came out that could dual-boot Windows, when it has always been possible (for years) to config a standard inexpensive x86 laptop to dual boot Windows and FreeBSD or Linux, creating a PC that is *functionally equivalent* to the (overglorified) dual-boot mac machine. I've configed several dual boot Windows-Linux machines and Windows-FreeBSD machines before steve jobs "invented" dual-boot for their users. Prior to the dual boot mac, 99.9% of all mac users thought a PC that dual booted Windows with another OS to be impossible, because it was never *pre-packaged* that way by anyone--a clear indication of their technological ineptness.

And so is the case with the iPod. 99.9% of iPod users use that little gizmo w-Apple technology only, i. e. only downloading songs from iTunes, and using iTunes software to transfer music to it, because (unbelievably) they don't understand the concept of files and directories, i. e. the ability to download music from a non-Apple source (i. e. BitTorrent) and then transfer it to their iPods. The simple task of using P2P download technology to freely grab a song and then transfer it to a flash-drive based MP3 player (i. e. Creative Zen) perplexes the mac user--i. e. they're thinking "I can't use BitTorrent because it's not iPod compatible!"

in a nutshell, to a mac user, everything has to be pre-packaged for them, or they just don't get it.

And not surprisingly, this is the case with the playing downloaded digital audio in a car.

To us tech-savvy people, this is a no-brainer--if your car has a tape drive, simply plug the MP3 player in via a tape adapter, *or*, for better sound quality, buy a car stereo amp w-analog RCA-mini inputs, set the MP3 player for line-level out, plug it-wire it into AUX in, and start jammin' away.

However, you'll notice no mac user has ever used their iPod in a car. Why? Because they don't know how! It's funny--they'll just sit there and moan, "How do I get songs from iTunes to play in my car? I heard my friend did it with his Creative player. But I'm not some whiz kid like him!"

So lo and behold the auto industry has capitulated to macintards, and is now coming out w-iPod-ready stereos. Apparently, you can just plug your iPod into the system and make it work. Chances are the system will be designed to *only* work for iPods (a ploy ensured by Jobs, because he abhors the idea of anything "non-proprietary"). And, of course, happens, the mac users will once again hail their hero jobs for *inventing* iPod in the car, or, wheelPod.

(jobs will of course, spend $100,000,000 to promote his wheelPod "invention" as an original concept)

And they'll run around town screaming, "hey, guess what, d'you know you can play your iPods in your car. Steve Jobs is a genius!"

Nothing more to say, I proved my point. Of course the macintards are stiill wondering how a PC can download music *into* their cars--I'll leave it to them to figure this one out (or let jobs explain it to them, lol)

Apple copies from Dell, yet again
First Apple goes to an all-Intel strategy, copying Dell, now they are pimping a backup strategy in Leopard...
