PC Authority - A piece of shit.

I was trolling the internet today and I stumbled on an article by PC Authority complaining about the build of the 17" Macbook Pro (link) because they were able to reveal the non-user-servicable battery. But I'm not talking about the actual article, but the way they've (or, specifically, Stewart Meagher) written this article.

Let's take the first line, shall we?

Apple fanboys will be crying into their non-fat soya Lattes today if they wander over to Ifixit as the hooligans who run the joint have managed to get their paws on a brand spanking new 17-inch Apple Macbook Pro...

Huh?, you may be going. Well even dumbasses can see this is a rant to Apple without even reading the damn article. And thus kicks off the start of my post today - PC Authority is the pinnacle of shoddy technology journalism. 

And I am entitled to say that, being a previous PC Authority subscriber back in 2005-2006. Why "previous"? Because they are Microsoft fanboys, sucking up to the folks at Redmond, to keep their measly little jobs by rolling in the Microsoft advertising.

Yes, I hear you guys saying what a Apple fanboy son-of-a-bitch I am. But let me say this - I am being neutral here. Yes, I own and praise Apple products. No, I am not a fanboy. In fact, I am typing this from a PC, and I praise and own Microsoft-affiliated products the same way I do with Apple. So don't be a retard and point your finger at me and say, "Apple Fanboy!".

Notice I said "previous" subscriber. You know why? Because their Microsoft fanboy-isms had affected their competence in journalism. My last issue I had recieved was August 2006, and the last blow for me was a side-by-side comparison of Vista vs OS X Leopard (link) in that issue. This was blatant ass-wiping sucking-uppery by the so-called "Authority", where Vista won 68 to 55, and is apparently "better" in terms of Entertainment, Business, Ecosystems (whatever that meant), Gaming, Bundled Applicationd, Usability (bullshit!), and Mobility. And there goes Microsoft fanboys with their Xboxes (with pizza crumbs all over it) triumphing at that "big, fair, honest" knock-out.

But, oh wait, there was a tiiiiiny, little issue. Vista turned out to be the worst edition of Windows (who can not deny that?), and Leopard was the defining factor for new PC-to-Mac migrators.

I cancelled my subscription upon reading that article. As a teenager back then, I had better things to spend my money on. 

But, with the whole "online journalism" thing happening these days, it's hard to ignore the idiotic imbecillic comments of that shitty magazine. One was in 2007 claiming 32 reasons why PCs are better than Macs (link). Even Mac fanboys can't be that bias in writing.

Just because they're sad that they can't rise up to the fact there's competition by Microsoft (and you could say that too vice versa, BTW, so don't shout, PC Authority, I've heard enough of your annoying voices as it is already), this does not mean that this should affect their journalist integrity and writing skills.

So us non-Microsoft fanboys who "drink non-fat soya Lattes" spit these hypothetical drinks in your face, because you deserve it, PC Authority. Authority, my ass.

If you have a current PC Authority subscription, protest with action - cancel your subscription, because quite frankly there are (link) better magazines (link) to subscribe to (link).
