More fun at MDN
So get this — the conspiracy theorists at Mac Daily News wrote that I had praised something called “Microsoft Max,” but then removed it from my blog once I heard that Apple had something better.
When I called them on it — I never wrote such a thing, much less removed it — suddenly they edited their story. Oh, it was Microsoft Photo Story, not “Microsoft Max.” The edit, oddly, didn’t mention that they had falsely accused me of removing a blog entry.
Convenient way to argue: Accuse someone of something they didn’t do by making up some facts, then, when called to the carpet, simply rewrite it.
What’s even funnier is that, typical for MDN, they then turn the discussion about my current USA Today column into one on a months-old commentary I made about Photo Story. Holy non-sequitor, Batman!
Next up from the geniuses at Mac Daily News: “In 11th grade, Kantor wrote that daisies are nicer than roses! Well, roses are better and that proves he’s a jerk! Nyah!”
Oh, and note this: When you visit MDN, you get the joy of closing all the popup windows the site opens up in your browser.
As of 4/16, comments are closed. Make ‘em over in the Boot Camp entry.

What is it with you and Mac Daily News? You both seem like little children in a sandbox, each vying for the shovel.
I find it hilarious when I see you making the same comparisons between Mac and PCs that I’ve heard for YEARS. Lack of software for the Mac (that’s a joke), Macs are too expensive (I compare what my money bought me between my PowerPC upstairs and my eMachines PC downstairs - you really do get what you pay for-though a couple years newer, the sound out from the eMachines motherboard went south already, and just inserting a DVD ties the thing up for 10-15 seconds as it reads the DVD - and that’s just getting me started). A single company makes Macs (good or bad, that’s another argument); you treat the entire PC computer industry as another, single company. Rather ridiculous to me. And finally, I use a Macintosh and a PC - as with so many Mac users, there’s no comparison in user experience between my Mac and the windoze machine - and yet so many PC users (whose nearest experience with a Mac is the fact that they SAW one once - are the biggest complainers about Macs. Makes no sense at all.
