Lashing Out

Ok Apple, your new commercials are humorous in their own way but contain quite a bit of FUD.  As if Windows can't talk to a digital camera.  Yeah it's great that you have iLife iWhatever bundled in but recall the Microsoft gets sued for bundling anything.

Regardless, the commercials aren't really what I need to lash out about.  Safari... YES Safari.  XSLT is not available as a service to javascript — it’s only callable as an initial XSL transform with the page load?  Are freaking serious?  You call this a modern browser?

Anyways, long story short we had a very nice site working with atlas but Safari's updatepanel problems have temporarily killed it.  Thanks Apple.  'preciate it.  Hopefully Microsoft can navigate the safari jungle soon so I can wire this back up.

Not that I'm going to let microsoft off the hook.  I have a scriptmanager s1 on the page.  If I try to set enable partial rendering to false on page load I get an error that I can only do that in the pre_init.  If I do it in the pre_init I get an object reference not set to instance of an object.  I'm probably doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't see it.  If I put in a check if (s1 == null) that check is true in pre_init.

My personal opinion about Apple is that those commercials mark a turning point in the company's history.  That marketing campain is brilliant.  Now, if only they don't screw up with hardware costs, and OS blunders, the PC faces a real challenge.

Apple's ads are funny, but complete lies.
