I don’t know who most of the people on that list are.

Jobs certainly belongs, but “Lady Gaga”? Ashton Kutcher?

I use some Apple products, but I can’t think of any other company that has this dedicated liberal cult following like Apple.

It’s like the members of this cult fight for Apple. Kind of strange.

She looks way too short next to those guys if she doesn’t crank up the heels. Torture on her feet, I’m sure, but they’re otherwise pretty conservative shoes. (Black, clunky and closed-toe.)

The big hair gives her more volume too.

Of course there are tons of attack on Palin, especially, this was a great comment on the article ...

How influential is Palin? Well, just look at this blog. We're not talking about Time magazine, there is only an occasional mention of Steve Jobs, and noody EVEN KNOWS OR CARES who the hell that guy to the left is.

Do you really think the cover is a photo of the three people,taken together? It looks like a cut and paste.

Apple is a bit too Big Brother for my liking. Google and Microsoft are just a liberal but they do lend themselves to an open system.

No, I don’t think anyone does. But I know she’s tiny-short and very petite. Usually when you’ve got a height disparity like that you arrange them so they are sitting or sitting and standing in such a way that the difference isn’t so obvious. Thus, I think the selected pose could have been a set up to make her appear how she works not to appear—which is small compared to average or tall men.

Proper title:
Conservative Sarah Palin named to TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential list (cover photo includes poofter in jeans and unknown businessman)
But that's just my take

Other cool covers:

Someone tweaked that Time cover pretty good

Which Andy Mitchell got and pushed in Palin's face at a book signing. Here she is bragging about it

However, since you posted some fine pictures of Sarah Palin and she deserves another thread on this — I think you should post a new thread on Sarah Palin being on the list ... :-) ... we’ll get it to the Sarah Palin ping list, too, if you ping me ...

I post on threads about each of these people — both Sarah Palin and Steve Jobs

Another reason that Steve Jobs is on that list ... :-)

Thanks mostly to the iPhone, Apple's cash and investments rose to about $42 billion as of March 31, nearly three-quarters of the tech company's total assets. In six months' time that figure could approach $50 billion, given Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes's estimate that Apple will generate $14.6 billion in free cash flow this fiscal year.

As a banker, though, Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs is no Jamie Dimon. Invested heavily in government and corporate securities and commercial paper, based on past disclosures, the money earned an average yield of 0.75% in the December quarter. Apple hasn't disclosed the March-quarter yield.

The guts of the computer is all behind the screen and note, "no wires" ... :-)

From what Apple reports in sales at their Apple Retail Stores (their own stores), they show that about 50% of the sales of Macintosh computers are to Windows users -- who are obviously getting tired of the over 100,000 viruses attacking the Windows platform.

Heck! Macintosh users don't even bother with any anti-virus software because there are no viruses out there and in the wild that infect and spread among Macintosh computers (because of the Mac OS X software).

Being as you insist on trying to irritate me, lets just go to that statement:

You'll remember that thread where you were asking about the weather in Tulsa, and I posted the weather and rain forecast.

Also, you'll remember that I said that I wasn't risking the "wrath of woman"

Yes I remember you saying that.

The men I know aren't intimidated by a woman that displays "wrath" to get her way.

So I expected you may have showed up.

But I obviously I don't know you.

Go back and look at the thread ... LOL ... [if you don't have the thread, I'll go back and look it up for you ... :-) ...]

Like most people here, I don't need you to find anything for me.

Here is the thread. So go ahead and point out the comment you say you made to me on it.

Not that we need Time to name the 100 most influential — number one on the list should be the King of Saudi Arabia, and number two should probably be left blank, because no one is very close in influence — but what the hell took the idiot editors so freakin’ long? The Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, iTunes/store, what does Jobs have to do, produce his birth certificate (he’s adopted, he probably knows from where) and get elected President? ;’)

You were saying ...

Like most people here, I don't need you to find anything for me.

You'll find that you can't locate an entire series of threads on Free Republic about the subject of Sarah Palin's hacked e-mail account and the hacker through a search using the Free Republic search engine ... which is why I included the list of threads at Post #23 in your thread that you just put up.

College student found guilty of hacking into Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account

You'll notice that someone else missed a key detail in a previous thread, because they didn't see the details from all the posts on Free Republic.

You can't do a search (on the Free Republic search engine) and come up with all those Sarah Palin e-mail hacker threads and the trial and the verdict that just came out. It can't be done with any reliability.

BUT, with a list of all the threads that have been posted on it, recently, you can see every last single thing that has been posted here about it. So, for other FReepers that does make a difference.

I also just "keyed in" a keyword in order to keep track of them, too... and I listed that on your thread, too...
