Nerd Wankery

March 15th, 2010, by The Angry Drunk

Huzzah! Yet another self-important nerd has decided to aban­don the evil empire of Apple, what with their Draconian Control and all, for the mys­ti­cal utopia of Google. Meanwhile, no one in the real world even knows who the hell Tim Bray is. Rock on you crazy diamond.

    “Tim Bray is the co-inventor of XML, long­time blog­ger, and influ­en­tial tech­nol­o­gist. He cur­rently works at Google as a Developer Advocate for the Android mobile plat­form.“

    So… some­one who works for Google is going to use his employ­ers’ prod­uct rather than that of their chief rival? Earthshattering news!

    Apparently he was dri­ven into Google’s sweet, lov­ing embrace by Apple’s Caligula-like excesses.

    Hmm, after read­ing “Draconian Control” I felt the sud­den urge to scream “CLOUD” at the top of my lungs… Or was that “KLAUS”?

    There are a cou­ple of very good posts on his site ask­ing for clar­i­fi­ca­tion of some of his points that appear to be incor­rect.

    He hasn’t both­ered to respond. So far, a per­fect Google employee.

    Errrr, did Tim ever say that any­one in the real world knew him? Also, for him to “aban­don the evil empire of Apple” he would have either had to work there (Sun != Apple) or stopped using his Mac lap­top (nope). You’re quot­ing TechCrunch fer­fuck­sake, not the person’s own blog.

    Tim’s impli­ca­tions were clear you rav­ing moron. No one writes eight para­graphs of asi­nine and fac­tu­ally incor­rect screed against the main com­peti­tor to his new cor­po­rate mas­ter with­out a reason.

  • paule­hoff­man

    I never said he didn’t have a rea­son: of course he has a fuck­ing rea­son that cor­re­sponds with his new employer. He hates the iPhone appli­ca­tion deliv­ery mech­a­nism; so what? So do many devel­op­ers who make a lot of money from it. His job is clearly to get their atten­tion and focus it on Android. Did he not make that per­fectly clear in the post­ing?

    You said “has decided to aban­don the evil empire of Apple”, some­thing that you pulled out of thin­ner air than is used for most techcrunch stories.

    Satan’s cunt you’re a tedious lit­tle troll aren’t you. Go piss off and annoy some­one with more time for your wit­less babble.

    Oh nicely dis­patched to the bound­ary with a beau­ti­ful cover drive or as you guys would say he’s knocked that outta the park lol
