Heh... I tend to agree with 90% of the comments over the author's conclusions ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl

Agree with the comments: "If you're stupid enough to pay retail for a Dell, then Apple just might be the computer for you." and then "The author's main point is that Macs are similarly priced to PC's. Then halfway through the article, he states that MAC prices are at a premium because it's from a top-shelf manufacturer and it is sold to cater to a "lifestyle." Did you read the article before you posted Leo or just stopped at the headline? - iomegadrive

Looking forward to seeing Gary in a Youtube video-response ;) - Migger

OMG! - ※Fu※

hahahahahahahaaa [Edit] Somebody wouldn't give her his telephone number????? - /(bb|[^b]{2})/ (Kamath)

I think an important element to this that isn't immediately obvious (if you don't click through) is that this is addressed to Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV, who has started to use a video as an email auto-responder: http://tv.winelibrary.com/gary... - Mark Trapp

This sniffs of a transparent Lonelygirl15 spoof to promote Gary's book, 'natch. - joshua fouts

Yes, Vaynerchuk's video response to email is significant, and Andrew's dislike of same. I think the video is great, it may be Rocketboom 2.0. - Dave Hussein Winer

I've fallen victim to Gary's auto email reply, with his video link, before. lol. - Louie

lol - pixites

BWAHAHAHA!!! I love it. - Aaron deMello

Nothing beats a solid roundhouse kick to jump start your day. - ::Kristen::

Explanation: "In January 2007, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught has now returned to the outer Solar System and is now only visible with a large telescope. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework." - Andrew Baron

wow indeed - Michael W. May via twhirl

مثل ساحل لاست میمونه :دی - Mil∂d

Wow, 153 people 'liked this" so far and almost 30 comments. - Andrew Baron

Absolutely incredible shot! Then again some of the best shots on the web come from NASA, National Geographic, Discovery and, of course, Hawk :) - Charlie Anzman

Not to be too cynical but that shot seems to good to be true -- I wonder if there is more processing going on than the text seems to admit. - Brian Sullivan

I'm enamored with that lightning. - Jason Toney

ahhh good one - Dobromir Hadzhiev

I'm going to side with Brian here. What is right: Comet McNaught was that bright in WA (I use to live there), but I checked my attempted pics, they predate this by over a week. I'm sure the comet was only that bright for less than a week. Second, the main Australia Day fireworks occur in Perth City...which isn't near a beach . Maybe it's Leighton Beach with Fremantle to the left...but it doesn't seem right. I did check the weather records though, there was a storm that night, and it's in the right direction - Duncan Riley

I do hope it is real though...and I forgot how wonderful the environment there is - Duncan Riley

Now the wallpaper on my iMac - ☛ Adam Helweh ☚

Duncan, last year both Fremantle and I believe Hillarys held their own fireworks for Australia Day. I myself was trying to guess the location this morning. Being a regular on Leighton beach though it doesn't look familiar so I was thinking it may have been taken to the north of Hillarys. It also made me very nostalgic for Perth :) - Penny

wow, just wow - Mark Douglass

Amazing shot! - Timo Heuer

Unbelievable! - fbrunel

This is for sure a record post for me! 333 people liked this! - Andrew Baron

just incredible! - Geoff K

An absolutely stunning shot. - Brandon Wood

Still lovin this shot days later. :D - Andrew Baron

amazing. I guess the timing for this shot couldn't be better - Dan V

I forget which Greek philosopher said it, but "Right timing is everything is most important." - Scott Kitchen

I have such a hard time deciding whether this movie is satirical or serious. I keep fluctuating between the two. - Jonathan Nguyen

It makes one feel a bit leery of handing out business cards, if only for a second :-) - Ranjit Mathoda

now i also feel bad about handing out my moo cards! ;) - Dieter Schwarz

Looks like I need new cards. :) Mine have never made anyone sweat. - ha3rvey

this has to be one of the greatest scenes ever! - Morgan via twhirl

Loved this scene in the book. But couldn't watch the film actually. Don't know why - I didn't like it after reading the book. But this scene is just great! - Anton Nekipelov

Hardly Working's NSFW spoof in this scene: http://www.collegehumor.com/vi... - Ryan Kaisoglus

best scene ever. I'm voting for satire here. The fact that all 3 cards pretty much look the same and they are getting worked up about subtle coloring... can't be serious. - Tsega Dinka

yeah easily one of my favorite scenes ever. when i saw american psycho in theaters i was maybe the only person laughing throughout the whole thing. many people walked out. - MG Siegler

I got so worked up about this scene, I went and bought some cards from Smythson. They were beautiful, but the per-card cost was so high, I didn't like to hand them out. Oh - and they look *nothing* alike. Two are in serif, two in sans, for God's sake. Even the corporate marque is different, and each card has a different margin. - Mat Morrison

this movie is so underrated it's an outrage. the fact that I can't tell with certainty if this movie is satire or not gives it loads of respect in my book. christian bale should've got serious award consideration too. - grant

interesting how relevant the idea of fawning over the business card (80's) is still today. - Brad Coy

if moo was smart they would use this in some way to promote their new full-sized cards - MG Siegler

you can't sell what isn't there (well, I guess you could, but still...) - Robert Seidman

Maybe it isnt coming out today? - Gadiel Rivera

I am so ready to go to the Apple store. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Why would apple Canada store be down? What are we getting? - Andrew Smith

The store is still down. - Robert Scoble

Any activity at the store in SF Robert? - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

let me in, damn you. I need to see what networks it truly works on - clarke thomas

Probably the iPhone, Andrew - Prolific Programmer

Just a line, nothing else. - Robert Scoble

APPLE.COM "we are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly" - Rif Kiamil

-not happening until July, right? That's what I'm getting from this --- - Vince DeGeorge

hmmm... should i leave now - or wait until confirmation? I'd hate to drive 15min for nothing - Will DeLuca

Its only $199 for 8G - Rif Kiamil

Have to wait till July 11th - Rif Kiamil

Yep, rollout starts on July 11. - Lee Adkins via fftogo

Did you bring a sleeping bag? - Paul Taylor

Apple must be the only company where not having an ETA seems to everyone absolutely normal. - Amit Morson

go home until July 11 - Derek Dysart

i'm camping out already - Cee Bee

I want the 16GB white one :) - Jennifer Van Grove

$199 for an iPhone? Wow, even us bloggers can afford one now =D - John Tyra

sorry scobleizer! we'll have to wait until july 11. you, on the other hand, might have some pull to get a pre-release. - John T Brady

i need to view the commercial just once more. it hasn't quite been drilled into my head. - Cee Bee
