CNN's partnership with Bing and Microsoft was going great until someone switched the camera angle.

From the front, all midterm viewers could see last night was an immaculate row Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablets:

...But like a Playboy resting comfortably in a geometry textbook, there were iPads lurking...

This makes me ask what they use over at MSNBC? That MS does stand for something no?

MS is no longer affiliated with MSNBC and hasn't been for years.

I’d hate to break it to you, but Microsoft has been supporting the gay agenda since 1989 and additionally spends millions upon millions financing abortion and eugenics around the world. It’s not even just Microsoft and Apple, the all the hardware manufacturers do as well, at least the US based ones. Unfortunately, even Texas based Dell computer supports the LQBTQ agenda. There is literally no escaping it in the computing world. University Computer Science departments have been fostering a culture of supporting ‘gay rights’ since Alan Turing’s probable suicide in the 1950s.

I also dont pay for anything from them.

If I need something, I buy it 2nd hand or used. I also have no moral qualms with people torrenting whatever you need to avoid putting one red dime in their pockets.

Work against my freedoms = I work against your bottom line.

“No doubt. But only one of them advertizes their crap as a gay/eco saving lifestyle choice. Consider Microsoft a ‘lesser evil” ;)”

Bullcrap, MS not only backs the gay agenda they also finance eugenics and abortion. Additionally, Microsoft actually does gay lifestyle ads, Apple has yet to do even one.

Microsoft gay lifestyle ads:

Searching the same website for “Apple”, the only result is for an Apple flavored beverage, not an Apple Computer.

Furthermore, despite all the controversy over Tim Cook telling people not to invest in Apple if they don’t support their “sustainability efforts”, what they don’t tell you is that the bulk of Apple’s sustainability efforts are making their computers more recyclable, not “climate change” as was billed in the media. Got forbid we try to make a genuinely recyclable computer or phone so that kids from Ghana don’t end up breathing in all kids of incredibly toxic fumes and poisoning the water and landscape around them lighting electronics on fire and melting them in order to recover a couple grams of precious metal. That would be just terrible.

Dittos! If I owned an ipad I would smash it in disgust and send the pieces to Tim Cook.

I mean.....what kind of gay BS ever comes from Samsung or Microsoft? MS may contribute to gay causes here and there but Bill Gates and no other MS honcho ever got up publicly and started pimping his gayness.

Is Gates gay? Is Steve Ballmer? No and same for all other top MS guys. And if they are, they not out advertizing it

You can check out the “fabulous” video at>>>>

Apple makes a gay pride video and, of course, it’s gorgeous

Apple has put its famous design brain power toward making a gorgeous video in support of gay pride. Filmed over San Francisco’s city-wide pride weekend on June 28, the video shows thousands of Apple employees brandishing a re-imagined Apple logo with rainbow colors, while they march down Market St.

CEO Tim Cook tweeted a link to the video earlier today with the phrase “Inclusion inspires innovation.”

Cook appears to be alluding to a legal brief that Apple and other major tech companies sent to the Supreme Court last year, which said that marriage equality was essential to America’s economic competitiveness. Tech companies, the legal brief argued, “are competing domestically and internationally with companies inside and outside the United States in places where all couples, regardless of whether they are of the same sex, are afforded equal access to marriage.”

I can, but I cheated . . . using a 9600 baud Hayes modem to a host running Lynx. FR works pretty well on Lynx.

I also have an external 12" monitor as the 5" screen is kind of hard to deal with. I am having a devil of a time finding peripherals to connect to the IEEE-488 port.

Apple is 11 on the gayness Richter scale. For years their target sales demographic has been gays and gay friendly hipster urbanites. And now their CEO is gay. Just more icing on this gay wedding cake.

Microsoft is a 2 on gayness if you are lucky

Nothing screams “Situational ethics” more than having a serious lavender tinged fit over someone that disagrees about whose hipster accessory is more or less socially just than the others.

You take this way too seriously.

Freepers that act like loony cheerleaders for that company and their hero homo CEO are basically on their team.

Cook is queer, but so far my mac has not attempted sex with me, so I will be extra careful not to get to close, just in case.

You know that for a fact do you? Just because they haven't been stupid enough to publicly announce they were gay, does not mean they are not. Rock Hudson
