I've ignored all this 'Chosen One'/messiah crap, but...Obama gets elected and now OJ is going to prison. Coincidence or the beginning of the Golden Age?

good. my Zune owning heathen of a sister sent me the Obama-Zune story as vindication of her own decision to own a Zune.

Your guy is responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars lost and tens of thousands killed or maimed.

oh yeah ? your guy is "The Chosen".

Another proud day for "conservatives".

DRTFA--Sarah Palin uses an iPod? And why is Obama delivering this factoid?

Oh great, another farking braindead iFanboi®©™.

No wonder he needs to appoint a CTO. Just like McCain, he has no idea how to use a computer, 'cause all he knows is how to use an App₤€.

I hope he picks Steve Ballmer. This country needs people who understand real computers. Also developers. Developers Developers.

Based on Randall Munroe's endorsement of Obama (posted during the primaries back in January), I'd say it probably won't be someone involved with Apple, but it certainly won't be someone involved with Microsoft.

 
Funk Brothers 2008-12-05 11:18:18 PM  
Oh yeah, I don't think Obama uses a GIS.

I thought we knew that when he released his playlist (which wasn't at all carefully planned out and chosen to appeal to the widest group of voters while offending none of them)?

Shouldn't it be iBama?

When the Democrats get fed up waiting for him to indict some corporate executives and close Gitmo, they'll amuse themselves by subpoenaing his playlist and iTunes download history.

MSNBC had a 30 second thing on him walking around listening to a Zune. It was 45 seconds too long.

All 30+ software engineers / programmers that work at my company use MACs.

If you want to administer a serious network, full of a 200+ linux boxes, but still want a good OS for every day things, MAC is the only way to go.

The Chosen One crap coming from known Bush Fellators is really really really ironic.

MAC? Media Access Control?

I don't really care, but the little bit of me that read the headline when it made fark an had an opinion, is disappointed. While not an MS fanboy by any means, I hate Apple. Everything they make looks like it was designed by a 1960's spy super-villain.

Yeah, but it's balanced with Biden being the backup and Palin as the leader of the opposition.

/And it's soon to be eclipsed by OJ getting elected and Obama going to prison.

Wasn't there a raft of "What on the Candidates iPods?" stories during the primaries?

Hell, I even remember seeing "What's on the President's iPod" thrown in for goo measure.

Under 7000 and 8%.

The "Obama is the chosen one" meme is way past old and busted.

But does anyone out there really use a Zune? Seriously?

Quit smoking pot and make yourself marketable, lib.

Your employment situation depends highly on you. Quit expecting the government to give you a hand out.

You don't get something for nothing. You can't have freedom for free.farking freeloaders.

Your imagination is mediocre, since we're at 6.7% and 8600. Why not go for something much lower?

I've already closed my business down as soon as Obama was elected. Might as well get the pain out of the way!

Sorry, but I gotta bite this one. Freedom is a right, not a commodity. It has no price, nor does it need to be given. It can only be infringed, and we as a society have determined that to be immoral.

Im just waiting for the Super Smug Combo Pack...it comes with an ipod, iphone, mac, and a Prius.

I agree, people should quit whining about what you think the DOW and unemployment rate will be and either 1) keep their existing job by working harder or 2) get a job if they don't have one. Either way, it's Obama's fault before he's sworn into office. That's a given.

 
TheRaven7 2008-12-06 12:39:39 AM  
Are there actually people who buy a Prius to be smug? I thought the whole idea was to get 60 MPG.

 
Somacandra [TotalFark] 2008-12-06 12:41:50 AM  
We already knew this. In fact it was a newssstory once that he had Jay-Z on his iPod.

I remember the story, but I do not in fact know who this "Jay-Z" is. I assume he is some sort of plush novelty figure or a carbonated drink spokesperson.
