Rush Limbaugh (Finally) Gets His Mac Fixed
About a month ago Rush Limbaugh went on the air, but instead of mocking Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's Disease, or suggesting we bomb a country full of brown people back into the stone age, he made a public plea to Steve Jobs to help him with his brand new Mac Pro.
Turns out that Mr. Limbaugh is a bit of a Mac fanatic. But an issue with the new Time Machine back up feature was preventing it from properly backing up the pundit's e-mail.
Well, after several phone calls and a whole lot of headaches the man whose idea of comedic gold is putting the words "bomb Iraq" to the tune of 'Yakety Yak Don't Talk Back,' has his fix.
For the rest of you out there suffering from this same issue (and we know there are plenty) here's how to do it: Delete the null mail folder, then rebuild the Mail.app's internal directory via a terminal command.
So now Limbaugh has his fix, and Steve Jobs can stop worrying about late night phone calls threatening to out him as a gay terrorist prostitute.

Terrence O'Brien is an ass!!

Terrence Obrien sounds like a disgruntled liberal. He sounds as if he wishes he were important enough that someone would write an article about his own computer troubles. What a political hack job. I think its funny that he spews so much venom towards Rush in that collumn.

It appears TO' (Terrence O'Brien) needs to relax and smell the dittos! Like Rush or not he saved an industry know as "AM Radio" and helped build may careers, both of liberals and conservatives...and obviously writers for tech mags...

Terrence O'Brien, you are an ass-clown! What's your idea of "comedic gold," pinhead? Throwing out unsubstantiated claims about someone being outed "as a gay terrorist prostitute"? That really sucks. Maybe instead you should go work with those million monkeys in the Media Matters boiler room typing press releases and trying (and failing repeatedly) to get some Limbaugh dirt.

The media is not biased! I repeat, the media is NOT biased. My big butt it aint.

Not even Limbaugh bellieves the stupid crap he brays...especially after 7 years of failures and decline by republicanism.
He can hardly believe that the rubes and rednecks still lap up his inane act

Its from the NY slimes, need we say more.
rnmakhno @ Mar 17th 2008 9:54PM
well, the left and the right are at it again over the most inane things...hopefully you won't notice when the rest of us desert you. sigh

rush makes fun of the desease that michael fox has,but who is the real pill popper here?

Glad they were able to help all you Mac owners with one of the miriad of problems you incur using a Mac. I offer another way to fix it. Run over your Mac with your truck and buy a pc with a Windows operating system. I did and I have no problems at all!! Thanks Bill!

I'm no fan of Limbaugh's but damn. Does Terrence have nothing better to do with his time than attack Rush Limbaugh? What's going on with Al Franken's computer? Is Hilary getting the Blue Screen of Death?
Who besides Terrence "Poopdrawers" O'Brien cares?
randy pepin @ Mar 18th 2008 12:24AM
Rush LimbaUGH is a jerk. I have parkinsons. the way he talked about michael j. fox is despicable,
and stupid.limbaUGH is truly lower than a suck egg dog on a chicken farm. he belongs in prison for his use of controlled substances.
Drew @ Mar 18th 2008 1:34PM
What digging the man sent his maid out to score dope for him... Doctor shopping couldn't support his habit so he had to send the help, pathetic. All dope users should be sent to prison, right Rush? Unless they are a hate-spewing un-American loudmouth idiot talk show host.

That entry by the apparent ardent leftist Terrence O'Brien was disgusting. How in the world can Switched.com expect its site to be taken seriously with someone putting out nonsense like that? It's no better than the free-for-all name-calling diatribes that take place on many an Internet forum. But Switched.com carries the AOL brand name doesn't it? "Countries full of brown people" for heaven's sake. I'll stick to Extremetech.com.

I WOULD TAKE THE MAC AND HIT HIM RIGHT IN HIS FAT HEAD WITH IT.

More evidence that Obama's comments in his so-called "brilliant speech" and later in a radio interview today in which he characterized his Grannie as a "typical White," and elaborated that by "typical" he meant that Whites are
"bred" to fear Blacks ... not too stereotypical ... racist maybe?
Liberals quite appropriately sense that Obama, like many Democratic candidates before him, may have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
In response O'Brien very apparently regressed to his older version Liberal Handbook: "When the going gets tough with a political foe, slur, call him/her names, insult him/her, exagerate and fabricate ...
So much for 'higher ideals' associated with "change" and say good-bye to a political race in which ISSUES drive the election. Liberals have abandoned civility once again, as their NATURE dictates.

#1.Rush merely pointed out the hypocrisy of Michael J. Fox not taking his medicine so his Parkinson's was more pronounced for a commercial
#2.Democrats are proving right now how much more racist they are than Republicans... just watch Barry and Hillary's supporters go at it... Rush is not a bigot... in fact, it seems that there are more black bigots than white in the news lately (anybody heard of "Pastor" Wright?)
#3.People who don't actually listen to Rush prove their ignorance every time they open their mouths about him.

I'm happy to see Rush's mac got fixed...now if only Steve Jobs could fix his "mind." Great article Terrence!

I hope Terrence O'Brien slips and falls in a puddle of aids.
