    Clearly Channel 9 have some sort of deal with Microsoft (ninemsn.com.au, anyone?) in which they agreed not to promote competitors products.

    Also, it’s probably an emulator (Parallels?). Only Mac-fanboysusers put the taskbar at the top of the screen.

    My first thought was, “So?”

    Windows XP would improve the iPhone.

    I don’t think I’ll ever want an iPhone.

    The only phone I want that doesn’t run Linux is my crappy $29 one.

    Oh please, Apple bashers sound like a bunch of Libs bleating about their much despised ‘elites’. Let’s all focus, this isn’t about Apple being excellent, it’s about channel nein being shithouse.

    I woke up this morning to whoever does AM on 774 telling me that today Melbourne is about to become “tap central” of Australia.

    How disappointed I was to find out that this:

    is the reason why!
