I for one would like to welcome our new conumser overlords.

"Others, such as the USA nation brand, which ranks highly as most in need of a rebrand, requires help according to our readers,"

thank you very much, all of you who voted for George W. Fucktard.

"Conversely, another participant is said to have described Microsoft has having "gone from innovative and bold to stodgy and follower."

ROTFLMAO! Since when was MS 'innovative and bold'? The truth is they are the same company they were 12 years ago, it is Visturd and Zzzzzzune, contrasted with the overwhelming success of OS X and iPod, which has exposed their weaknesses for all to see.

spell-checking is hard.

Next time, Climacs, please keep your mouth shut when you feel the urge to decimate the US presidential position or speak in any other ignorant, God-hating, foul-mouthed manner.

The world, and especially these forums, will be a much better place without your foul comments.

Thank you smurfman. Let's not promote the visceral stupidity through hate speech here, especially totally unrelated topics. If you want to blame all the problems of the world as well as your on one thing, that's up to you, but confine such annoying outbursts to your 'inner' voice.

Btw, climacs, I'm happy to say, you're welcome ;-).

You ignore the wonderful example to the rest of the world of an equal opportunity presidency.

Up until Bush it was pretty much the preserve of rich, white, competent candidates.

The other day I was watching Karl Rove on C-SPAN give a speech to the YAF at George Washington University when he was interrupted first by an individual mumbling something and then telling him to "F*ck You!" To Which Mr. Rove calmly replied, "Must be an intellectual".

Then Mr. Rove was interrupted a second time from a group who stood up with the typical "blood" splattered banner with the words "'War Criminal' emblazened on it, while one guy read from a paper the usual tripe one comes to expect from these people. However, the crowd in the audience tired of the shenanigans drowned out his tripe when shouting 'shut-up' over the protesters speech, and then someone yelled to the officers taking the 'banner holders' out of the auditorium, to 'Tase them' which after initial laughter, resulted in the rallying cry of the remaining audience, "tase-them, tase them".

Climacs seems to fall in the category of an 'intellectual' who, according to GWU crowd, needs to be tased! :)

If you want to blame all the problems of the world as well as your on one thing, that's up to you, but confine such annoying outbursts to your 'inner' voice.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought MS was the one thing "destroying america" (after feminists and gays and those left-wing liberals at Fox - I'm talking to you, Colmes!).

Or maybe it was the patent system. Or the legal system. The eco-terrorists at the ASPCA. Activist judges. Wall street analysts (they should be much higher). The RIAA/MPAA. Those idiots who sold apple stock at $195/share (jarod tells me they're idiots, anyway - caused my portfolio value to become decimated).

But besides them.....

While I commend anyone for standing up in public and admitting they voted for GW, it sure does little for one's reputation, and casts into doubt one's ability to make a rational decision of great import.

Me? I blame capitalism for everything.
