The Mactard iBlog

Copy and paste is the feature that iPhone users have been crying out for, and one that Apple very nearly convinced the world couldn’t be done. O’Reilly’s latest publication on Gestural Interfaces includes the classic line: “Cut-and-paste is only partially implemented or theorized on most gestural interfaces.” That will come as a surprise to anyone who has used any system except the iPhone - even the Newton could manage cut and paste, and the FingerWorks system uses the zoom gesture so beloved of iPhone users to cut and paste text.

Welcome to the 1990s and well done. I applaud you.

You’ve learned from the previous 3 competitions. Use your knowledge and take a guess - is this a Mactard or a retard?

Yes, this is a Mactard! Observe the tongue sticking out from between his lips. This is a manifestation of the subconscious desire of all Mactards to be able to lick the ass-crack of their deified Mr. Steve Jobs who regularly showcases all of their favorite technologies and upgrades such as the Macbook Air, the two-button mouse and more recently the copy-paste feature in the iPhone.

Google is pulling access to the XMPP API that allows third-party applications to send SMS messages with the Mountain View chocolate factory footing the bill, much to the annoyance of app developers.

Even Google can’t keep paying operators without any recompense, and it’s issued a statement making it clear that while the API was publicly announced it never emerged from the Google Labs, and therefore third parties shouldn’t have bet their business model on it.

Proving once again that you wouldn’t call them iPhone developers, just Mactards.

Ironically, that last statement came from a company who put all their products in beta but do want others to use their products for their business models.

Do you know why Mactards don’t need any toilet paper?
It’s because Apple products suck so much ass.

Cupertino, California (March 3, 2009) - Apple Inc. today unveiled a new logo to reflect their increasing popularity and their fanbase. Steve Jobs made the announcement at a low-key press announcement wearing his trademark (unchanged) clothes. “We feel that this new logo reflects, accurately, exactly the type of users we have; it reflects their thoughts, beliefs and our values for them.”

A small fan gathering outside the podium were enthusiastic about the new logo and yelled, cheered and whooped when they saw the new logo on display. “That is so me,” said one Mac fan, “I can so totally understand that. I love everything Apple does.”

Apple Inc. was not available for comment regarding the availability of merchandise sporting the brand new logo.
