NEW SKYPE! NEW VIDEO CALLS! oh no wait

In a continuation of what is an alarming trend of software developers not giving a frick about Mac users, the Windows version of newly-released Skype 2.0 has lots of nice new features, but the Mac version is pretty much unchanged. Mac users will unfortunately not reap the benefits of video calls from their versions of Skype 2.0, which makes no sense to me at all seeing as how we (Mac users) are categorically much better looking than our Windows-using counterparts.

Oh and Google, you’re a bunch of cocks n’all. Give us Google Earth OS X already. The beta I procured from the interw3b works just fine, release it publicly so I can stop feeling nervous and guilty every time I fire it up to spy on the planet like I’m a member of the Bilderberg Group, shaping the very fabric of humanity in my hands, toying with the lives of billions. With like, a shark pool behind me. That would be awesome.

Anyway all of this obvious and pent-up animosity towards the Windows platform begs the question:

Who would you rather sleep with, Steve Jobs or Bill Gates - and why?

Males among us, please answer the same question.

For me, it would have to be Steve Jobs. We’d probably finish having sex then he’d be like “just one more thing” and whip out some beautiful miniature dildo with clean lines and generally flawless industrial-design sensibilities and proceed to shove it up my bum.

For those of you who have never seen a Steve Jobs keynote speech, that will simply seem to you like the nonsensical and latently homosexual ramblings of someone with the gay. I assure you, it’s not. Well, not latent, anyway.

  2. Bill Gates. He’s got the money AND the power. Steve Jobs just got less money. But he has a sense for style and fashion… Hmm difficult.

  3. huahahaaha….. well careful… bill might just ‘crash’ on you…

  4. Steve Jobs has a sense for style and fashion? He’s been wearing the same black mock-turtleneck-sweater-n-jeans combo for years now. The man dresses like a cyborg with obsessive compulsive disorder.

  5. only two choices? what about Sergey Brin, Larry Page, or Jonathan Ive?

  6. What, you want a gang bang? awesome.

  7. Not for nothin’ but this is the gayest (most gay?) post you’ve ever. DX

  8. I’m going to take that answer as “Neither, I’ll have that jumping, screaming lunatic and everyone’s favourite candidate for massive and spontaneous cardiac failure Steve Balmer, please”.

    Nice choice.

    yongfook / January 7th, 2006
  9. Steve Balmer, he reminds me of star wars kid.

    tamjpn / January 7th, 2006
  10. I assumed he had a sense of style since all apple products are for style-aware homosexuals.

    If Steve Balmer is an option, I’m not really sure I want sex with a sweaty chair-throwing monkey.

  11. you should have a gayest post poll, it would be craptastic!

  12. I’d do Jobs. Because he would be the best performing, best designed, smoothest mover, the best multitasker and would have lots of hidden talents and he’d be compatible with everyone. However, 99% of people on the planet would think Bill Gates was all of those things and refuse to look twice at Steve, so they’d keep their plebian mitts off my man. The part would truly be ruined if Gates fans knew what they were missing out on.

  13. hey there’s always ichat av. or maybe, if you could be bothered, a combination of yahoo messenger’s (audio-less) video + skype’s audio?

    and i’d do jobs. i’d do him so good he’ll slip me a new apple product every now and then. i’d do gates if i thought i could fuck him into killing the windows os line for good.

  14. Hey-thought you were a married man w/ child on the way - what kind of talk is that for a father-to-be?

    notacreature / January 7th, 2006
  15. Oh yes. Steve Jobs, without a doubt.

    Happy 2006 yongfook! My resolution is to drink more beer than you. Yes. All types of beer.

  16. Out of the night came a terrible scream Who put the sand in Bill Gate’s Vaseline?

    Joseph / January 7th, 2006
  17. i’d do gates if i thought i could fuck him into killing

    Now that sounds like a great mind-control storyline for a Victorian London fog and gaslamp murder mystery/James Bond/Avengers/Charlie’s Angels style film. Can you really fuck someone to the point at which they feel the uncontrollable urge to kill? I suppose it depends how bad you are.

    AndyH / January 7th, 2006
  18. Andy, Andy, please see a doctor…..

    Joseph / January 7th, 2006
  19. “Now that sounds like a great mind-control storyline for a Victorian London fog and gaslamp murder mystery/James Bond/Avengers/Charlie’s Angels style film.

    yes you actually can, andy, with special, deadly nano-semen, if you’re very bad–michael jackson bad. the problem is that special, deadly nano-semen didn’t exist during the victorian fog and gaslamp days. so, you have to travel to another time in order to use it to kill your mark.

    congratulations on the kid. or whatever “notacreature” was referring to.

    gaijin / January 9th, 2006
  20. Do you expect me to believe I can get my hands on the “nano-mind-control semen” and not the time machine? Or does death-spunk not travel well?

    AndyH / January 9th, 2006
  21. If I did Bill Gates, he’d probably give me a virus.

    drunkwithbroadband / January 9th, 2006
  22. I’ve been trying to download Google Earth off BT for weeks now. Send us a copy!

    Rudders / January 9th, 2006
  23. andy, death spunk travels fine–it just doesn’t KEEP well. you don’t wanna know what happened when a couple of us crazy kids hopped into the t.m. with a quart of nanojizz, all the way back to the motherfuckin’ renaissance, and then realized too late they didn’t have efficient cooling technologies then.

    not pretty. not pretty.

  24. Steve. I was lucky enough to see a WWDC keynote (where he introduced the G5 actually) and he gave me (and every other developer) a free iSight.

    Gates doesn’t (or didn’t bathe).

    Besides, I imagine the experience with Gates would be brutal (much like his software). Steve would cuddle afterwards.

  25. Based on they characters that portrayed them in “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, I’d have to forgo both of these choices and opt for a smack-tastic 3-some with Steve Wozniak Steve Balmer. Assuming YF rejects this reply…i’d pick Jobs, even though I’m a windows user. Bill just creeps me out.

    David-MTL / January 11th, 2006
  26. MacBook Pro - oops I just came. Anybody got one yet? I’m looking at you Jon.

    PS: I’ll miss the days when my Powerbook G4 felt adequate…

    AndyH / January 12th, 2006
  27. I’d say Bill Gates.
