Caught in Apple restart hell | The Coffeehouse

I'm speechless. Scoble has gone all rogue and bad-(I need to watch my language) and is ranting about our machines because he's had a few little problems. See here. Apparently he's had a few minor issues after installing an upgrade. No doubt the problems are caused by user error, meaning he probably loaded some crapware on these machines that caused them to malfunction. Naturally, however, he blames this all on us and says that his machine has blacked out on him. All I can say is that this isn't happening to anyone else on the entire planet, just Scoble, so we're not really quite sure what to make of it. But we are enjoying it when he gets all gangsta and writes stuff like this: Screw you Apple and your ads saying you’re better than Microsoft. Screw you. Screw you. Screw you.

And, because Robert can't ever write anything without letting you know HOW VERY (I need to watch my language)ING IMPORTANT HE IS, we get the following:

What’s ironic is lots of other computer companies would LOVE to give me free stuff (I don’t take it) but Apple is the only company that’s never raised a PR finger to help me.

Little tip, Robert. Start taking the free stuff from the other companies. Really. We mean it. Also, please note that you will never, ever, ever be invited to an Apple event ever again. And those MacBooks of yours? Paperweights. You have my word on that. Siooma, RoSco. - Posted by Fake Steve

..and suddenly the site hits are up again. It's pretty hard not to notice how few people comment on his blog nowadays, except when he is slamming either Apple or Google - I would have thought he was spending more time job-hunting.

There is no value at scobleizer that you can't get with better commentary at half a dozen other places.

Have a nice day Ross....

I have to admit I found a certain degree of entertainment when, a few comments in, someone gives him the fix and he says it's all back again, but the blog entry remains vitriolic.

I generally stopped reading Scoble a log time ago -- I'm just not interested in Silicon Valley startups.

Mac: “Hello, I’m a Mac.”

PC: “And I’m a PC.”

Mac: “Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac.”

[PC stares at Mac]

Mac: “Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac.”

[PC walks over to Mac. He grabs Mac by the shoulders, shakes him roughly]

Mac: “Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello…”

[PC slaps Mac in the face]

Mac: “Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello, I’m a Mac. Hello…”

PC [to himself]: Man, Scoble is not going to like *this*…

I think the point is that Apple's ads advertise "it just works" and pretend they're different than PCs, so when Scoble's Mac starts to have problems, he's reminded of their smug ads.

But Scoble's blog is like every other blog, in that its about himself and what he likes, the only thing that I don't like is when he assumes that all of the stuff he's interested in is the wave of the future and the stuff he isn't is old news. So his blog tends to be self-promoting about blogging.

This one is a terrible self-promoting read, too...

What did he expect?

Macs are PCs and not really high-quality at at; just shiny gloss.

OS X is alright... I like Linux and Windows better and it has nasty bugs just like any piece of software.

You would think that a guy who has worked in marketing as long as Scoble would know how much truth there is in what computer companies (or any company for that matter) says in their advertising. Naive.
