Why bother?

They are entitled to their opinion
And if they are just trying to flame and create controversy, viewing only feeds it

That they are, but I'm also titled to my opinion against them.

I didn't view it just because; one of my friends showed it to me.

Maddox's website is so old, and so popular, and yet it doesn't sound like any of you have ever seen it before. :confused:

His site was always pretty funny, and what he said about the iPhone was true.

I found a lot of ways to contadict what he said about the iPhone.
Seems like he made that little article before firmware 2.0

lol, guys, it's Maddox, calm down. The whole point of his site is to say offensive/absurd stuff.

I'm with Abstract, his site is funny at times, you just can't let yourself be offended by anything he says.

Ok, but there is nothing against PC's, that I saw anyways.
And what do you expect from me? I am a super fan boy.
I felt obligated to complain, a lot.

How are most people here unaware of the best site on the internet?
That's an opinion.

How does that effect anything I've said?

It wasn't an opinion, it was a question - if you don't understand the context of the article no wonder you're getting so wound up about it. I think Maddox is pretty funny most of the time, and he made some quite valid and amusing points in the iPhone article. He may come across as an arsehole, but that's just what he does - try and wind people up by being as offensive as possible... and it looks like he's succeeded!

Maddox probably uses a Mac, just for the irony... His articles are there to cause lulz to the general populus, and rage to the fan boys, you've just proved how silly some of the apple fanboys are, getting all up in a rage just because someone bashed Mac, OH NO!

Yeah. Maddox's articles are actually pretty funny, and I'm a big fan of him.

IIRC, he uses Linux/UNIX though.

It's maddox, if you get remotely upset or offended over anything you're kind of missing the point.

My favourite article is the explanation of Websense :D

maddox is past his best, but back in the day it was some of the funniest s*** on the interwebs.

anyway, back to how much I rule...
You should email him
Best suggestion in this thread :D

From his article it seems he has never even used a mac or even tested one. he's obviously just annoyed because he can't afford one :p

My internet security even tried to block me from going to the site.
