The CNET Mac Conspiracy

Mindlessly navigating the intertubes this evening to try to bring myself out of a deep blue funk, I came across an interesting front page news story on CNET’s always aptly named News.com site:

CNET News.com showing story on the Mac Classic

Clicking on it as of 22:18 Singapore Standard Time though returns a classic 404 "The page you’ve requested cannot be found." error.

CNET News.com showing story on the Mac Classic

Is this error just the result of a small slip up by one of the CNET employees, or is this a gentle ironic snub against the Macintosh computer?

Either this is some sort of a conspiracy, or it’s some sort of conspiracy. I’m also entertaining the notion as a secondary idea that in fact this is not what it appears, but is in fact some sort of conspiracy.

UPDATE: The light grey text underneath the Mac story reporting the time since it was posted is now saying 3 hours, 34 minutes with no change. Damn it, I want to see the inside of the Mac Classic!

I’m beginning to entertain the notion that this is some sort of conspiracy.

    Possible solution to blue funk: Maps

    And I can (sort of) explain how to do it. http://www.digitalinspiration.com was my source. But it took a lot of figuring for a non-Javascript enabled guy like me.

    It is fun tweaking maps though. Lemme know if you want a primer on how I did it. (Ha - you probably already have done it 12 different ways with all sorts of maps and I just can’t find them on your site…)
