intertwingly.net— An earlier link claimed Apple's photocasting was not adhering to standards and got RSS "95% wrong." Here's the truth.

Digg, the toilet of the internet formerly known as a tech news website.I will paste this onto every bulls**t article that pops up on the front page, I suggest everyone else does too! spread the word, this rubbish will not be tolerated.Digg is NOT. a place for corporate fanboys, funny videos, clever games and other related rubbish.
Apple makes a great OS to run on antiquated hardware. Apple machines, despite the antiquated hardware are incredibly efficient, reliable and thus far, nearly virus free. Apple OS(x) is superior to anything Microsoft has ever offered.That being said, any moron willing to spend 30 to 50 percent more on a computer designed for 8 to 11 year-olds that has yet to develop a strong network of third party software/hardware vendors, needs to be spanked. If you can’t buy a PC (for much less) and enable “auto update” and install any one of 100 very capable freeware antivirus, firewall, adware and alternative browsers, you don’t deserve the cash you’re throwing away on that cute little white box. It takes 25 minutes to download and install software to repair Microsoft’s admittedly gaping security holes.The fact is, most Windows users get infected/compromised because they “click” too much. Computers are not new. If you can’t figure out what to click and what not to click, ask your 60 year old neighbor or your 7 year-old. If you can’t do that, buy a newspaper, a $3.00 calculator, a deck of cards, a Walkman and get a Blockbuster account because on your best day, that’s all you could do with a computer.Anyone who thinks they are discriminating enough to choose MacOS over Windows because of security concerns should be able to identify adware/malware programs and know how to deal with them, that is unless you subscribe to the “inner-web” through AOL, then you should buy a Mac.The infamous blue screen of death disappeared with Windows 2000. While it still exists, it is nearly as elusive as Bigfoot. If your machine crashes while running an application, uninstall and install an alternative. Once you get to the lower end of the threshold of “beginner” user, you will likely be able to find the same program or even better, for free.Will someone please create an “almost mirror” Digg site for Apple/Macintosh fanboys so we don’t have to read the comments from Apple apologists and fanboys that insist on explaining to us how deficiencies are “features” and that when Microsoft breaks a standard it is injurious whereas when Apple breaks a standard it is innovative? It could be called (I apologize that the long addresses might be unattainable by most Apple/Macintosh users): “UninformedConsumer”, “IMPoorAndStupidButIThinkClearIsSexy”, “IOnlyHaveAnIndexFinger”, “IDoNotWantSotwareChoices”, “INeverHaveToWorkAtHome”, “ICannotRightClick”, “ItWouldBeGreatIfIOnlyHaveToChooseBetweenThreeGames”, “AssPlay”, “SecurityConsciousButTooDumbForLinux”, “1GBofRam=$500.00”, “DRMIsRightForMe”, “IGrabAnkleForSteveJobs”, “AdobeRules”, “Yeah,ButItIsSlighlyBetterThanAnE-MachineAndItIsCute”, “SomedayTheWorldWillBeSoftandCuteAndMediocre-LikeMyMac”.
