"There can be no doubt that 2005 was a stellar year for Apple. From record-breaking quarterly financial reports and the release of Mac OS X Tiger to the announced transition of the Macintosh to the Intel platform and new iPods, Apple fired on all cylinders throughout much of the year, creating unprecedented demand for many of its products." Update: Here are photos of the cooling system for the Quad-core PowerMac-- one of those could counteract global warming. Seriously.

Thom I have done no such thing. You on the other hand went out of your way to post several false things about me in your personal blog then advertise it on this site. You're the LAST person that should talk.
"It is not my problem that your site is a miserable failure, Kelly McNeil."
Oh you're funny. I bet you actually have convinced yourself that my site is somehow a failure too.
"Your jealousy over OSNews's success is so blatantly obvious, it's just laughable, really. "
jealousy is not the right word. I'm indifferent about another site's success. I am however upset when another individual uses a large platform such as this to promote his personal agenda then get upset when others point out the holes in his argument.
I'm sorry if you're so upset that I (among others) keep exposeing your agenda. Feel free to atribute any instance when I do it to me, but I ask that you not censor me for doing so... no matter how upset it may make you.

This comment is why OSN staff shouldn't have a vote exception.
Your post is clearly insulting to another poster: Kelly.
Honestly, I don't know why you'd ban him from posting (although I don't know that you have, only an anonymous post posing as him and that's not worth much).
Frankly, there are a lot more disruptive users on this forum than I ever remember seeing Kelly be.
But seriously, your last remark was uncalled for. As someone with admin functions you have a duty to be above responding to flamebait with flames.
I don't think this site has had a pro-Apple slant. However, I've not noticed a post about the unfixed Windows WMF flaw that's been on slashdot a couple times already. Seriously, where ya been on that one? Or maybe I just missed it.
Just to be clear. I'm not accusing you of slant, but I am calling you on insulting Kelly.

"Your account is currently prohibited from posting. Please contact osnews-crew@osnews.com if you have any questions."
Unfortunately, its the "osnews-crew" that wishes to sensor me. So I guess I have to post anon.
Its amazing how the admins here REALLY don't want anyone to show opposition to their agenda.

Well, its excellent that OSViews exists. It is a most encouraging development. What we must all now hope is that it succeeds beyond the wildest dreams of its editor. Any help we can give, we should.
We should try to set up a similar site for the Gnome guy as well. Perhaps DTEViews?
No, this is not ironically posted. It is, very very sincerely, probably the only way to solve this particular problem.

You want to know what I'm talking about, Kelly? I'm talking about your ongoing smear-campaign against my character. Why don't you try to run your own site properly, instead of worrying about me?
You really fell through the floor in this thread, my friend. Claiming I would've turned down that item because you were sure it was positive about Apple... While in fact, the story I turned down, was this one:
