Does this shit really fool anybody? Seriously, ANYBODY? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see that the majority of spammers continue to make only the slightest effort at varying the well-established formula–I’m sure it makes it easier for the spam filters to do their job–but, wouldn’t a spammer have a much higher chance of [...]

My wish for the upcoming Apple event

By thecodepounder | Published January 22, 2010

What, only one? Well, this will probably surprise any Machead reading this, but it has nothing to do with the “tablet-thingy”. My wish? Take the AppleTV to the next level.
