Apple bug miffs shock jock Limbaugh
The Inquirer ^ | February 14th | Nick Farrell

CONSERVATIVE shock jock Rush Limbaugh has asked Apple CEO Steve Jobs to fix a bug in his computer that has been annoying him for months.

Even if he is annoying and some would say pig ignorant, Limbaugh does not otherwise conform to Apple's target market. For a start he is too old and a bit independent of thought. However, Limbaugh is a bit of an Apple fan boy and has four Apple Mac Pros.

I know some will get a kick out of this article. I did.

I know some may get upset.

I mainly wanted to further point out the liberalism of Jobs/Apple.

No........... I haven't forgotten about that.

But wait, according to the Mac/PC ads, Mac is a perfect OS free of problems.

For the record, I dig PC...

Jobs needs to get a clue: "The customer is always right" -- whether you like the person or not.

Fixing the Apple bug should be Jobs' top priority.

Fixing the Apple bug should be Jobs' top priority.

Especially for a highly visible loyal customer who has the ear of millions of potential customers.

RUSH: I have an announcement to make: Apple corporate called. Somebody from high up the corporate ladder at Apple Computer in California, out in Cupertino, called the office. When did you get the message? When did they call, late yesterday afternoon? All right, they called at nine o’clock this morning, very, very, very nice guy, put my IT guy in touch with them, working — No, it was not Algore. Ha! No, Mr. Snerdley, it was not Algore. I’m not going to mention the gentleman’s name because the Mac user community that hates me will start bombarding this guy. He’s a West Coast guy. He called about six a.m. out there and said, “I’m here now,” so our IT guy is working with him. That’s cool. Yes, it’s official. It’s not a hacker. It was official. Don’t start gumming up the works. It was really true.

*shrug* An ad is a sales pitch. Of course they’re not going to tell you that.

MS does the same, just the opposite way.

Apparently Apple considered that and responded.

He does have millions of listeners. Apple is a political opposite, but this should trump politics. Apple should listen to limbaugh and hear a ‘CHA CHING’.

Apple has continuously made their liberalism known by not advertising on his show. That, and al gore on the board.
