Tech Giants Trade Punishing Verbal Hooks
July 19, 2010
The addled goose and the goslings enjoy watching humanoids who make lots of money tussle. It is even more enjoyable when the squabble involves technical giants. Here’s the latest Silicon Valley death match. In the aptly titled Larry Page Calls Steve Jobs a ‘Little Bit’ of a Liar, the acrimony is more frightening than Muhammad Ali’s remarks in the run up news conference for the Thrilla in Manila dust up with Smokin’ Joe Frazier. Personally I think Mr. Page and Mr. Jobs are more intimidating to an addled goose. (One of Mr. Ali’s relatives works with the addled goose, and I think she would be terrified of these tech titans’ blows too.)

Mr. Page, a math black belt, says that he doesn’t believe the tech terminator’s assertion that Google created the Android after the iPhone became a success of the iPhone. In fact the math black belt suggests Mr. Jobs is engaging in an activity that is a ‘little bit like rewriting history.’ I had a teacher who later became an Illinois Congressman. Dr. Phil Crane asserted that Joseph Stalin did the same thing with certain textbooks as part of much-needed revisionism.
And those Illinois elected officials. Paragons.
According to the aforementioned Gizmodo.com article, one could see the Android as somewhat similar to the iPhone. Coincidence? The addled goose is frightened and cannot think clearly. The whole thing has an air of
Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul
But I do love thee! and when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again.
Fascinating.
