> Explain how this is a "tech list" post for your pingees that seem to not know how to find out about apple stuff like updates and such on their own. Rather, this is blatant advertising for Apple. You yelp about your "tech ping" list for apple stuff, I fail to see a touch of that here.

Are you really so bored and cranky that this thread bothers you so much that you have to annoy JimRob about it? REALLY??

In my Windows Ping List I post articles about new announcements from Microsoft, new releases and feature updates to Windows 10, stuff about HoloLens and Microsoft Research, much of which is not strictly "tech list" material, but which might be of interest to the FReepers on the Windows Ping List because they have Windows machines or related items, or maybe they're just interested in what's going on.

To Mac folks, getting a ping about a major update to the product line is potentially very interesting.

Maybe not to you. Okay, fine.

Lighten up, FRiend. Bothering JimRob just because your panties are in a twist about Apple is not, IMO, either polite or necessary.

You do not shill for Microsoft. Windows is an OS, not a company, last I noticed. And, there is as much abuse for MS as anything on those threads. This is supposed to ba an advertising-free site. I do not see a continuous string of General Motors, Ford, IBM, etc. "tech ping" (cough, cough) threads.

Yes, I am in a crappy mood, but the no advertising thing just irks me every time I see this sort of post that is blatantly that. Explain how this post is the same as advising about an OS update?

Bad form in the middle of a freepathon.
