Only Commies use Macs and Open Source Software
If you go to the App Store on your iPhone to read reviews, about 99% of negative reviews are like the following:
“WTF? Shud be free!”
“A BUCK FOR THIS???”
First off, what are you people? Twelve?
Second, it makes the reviews and star ratings worthless. It’s conceivable that for a $1 or $2 program that these reviewers did actually buy the program, but I’m betting that most price bitchers have not actually used the programs that they’re whining about. If you see the reviews for a $20 program that reads, “OMGWTFBBQTOOMUCH$$$,” do you think the reviewers actually bought it? Of course not. They’re just bitching for the sake of bitching. Does it work as advertised? What did you like about it? What didn’t you like about it (besides the price, you commie).
This is what happened to my friend Stuart Montgomery’s FortuneBall. The first reviews, and the only negative ones, are from these morons who are only complaining about the price. The app’s a neat little demonstration of the accelerometer, and it’s ONLY TWO DOLLARS.
Two dollars. They’re whining about two dollars. See, I think there’s a huge problem with the iPhone 3G launch — They did it over the summer. If Apple released it during the school year, these entitled little shits would be studying for their trig exam instead of trolling reviews of all apps that have something else besides “FREE” as the cost. If you’re a parent of one of these punks you need to 1) Slap them once in a while 2) Make sure they’re working on their summer reading list, because they obviously aren’t right now 3) Buy them another Che shirt to shut them up.
I love open source software as much as the next guy. Hell, I owe my whole career to OSS. This, is just ridiculous, though. No, not everything should be free. If you want it to be free, download the SDK and make a competitor. Don’t you think that’s more constructive than spending your time “LOLDISUX” all day at the iTunes store?

Tired of the same stupid nozzle game, I looked into a color laser multifunction. They’re in the $600 range these days, and I woudn’t have to change the ink as often. I calculated out the cost of inkjet equivalents plus the high price, low capacity ink cartridges, and came to the realization I probably spent a total of $500 for the Pixma and ink these past three years anyway.
