Logitech are "racist"

According to Jacek, Logitech are "racist" for not making a left handed mouse. Unfortunately, we missed that one and now he has, yet again, posted a retraction claiming it was "too controversial". No Jacek, it's not "controversial", it's just plain stupid!

There's a discussion on this at our forum HERE.

Isn't it funny how when we say we're taking a break from posting he suddenly up's his attacks. Almost as if he likes the attention... ;)

Mobius

So Jacek begged and begged to go to Mobius and they said no. He begged them to let his "henchman" Lutz to go and they still said no. What did Jacek do? He bitched about them of course! After, that is, trying to blackmail them into letting him go with threats of exposing the "bribery" (yes Jacek, people tell us what you get up to). Of course, it didn't work so he posted his rant and later removed it after seeing how much of a dick he looked.

Luckily, we managed to take a nice screen grab before he removed it:

Just a quickie

Remember this?:

and this?

http://jacekwatch2.../jacek-was-mugged-onceapparently.html

and this?

http://jacekwatch2.blogspot.com/2006/07/msn-logs.html

...well, Jacek still doesn't like smokers, is still claiming he was mugged and has decided to attack nedge2k yet again.

So much for us having a break ;) Don't forget to check out our flash vid of what would probably happen to Jacek if he karate chopped someone HERE.

You don't need to register to post so feel free to head on over there and bitch to your heart's content ;)

Hopefully, this will enable the whole Jacekwatch thing to keep going while we're having a break :)

Bored

I guess some of you are wondering why we've been a bit quiet lately? Well, to be honest, we're getting a bit bored of tracking Jacek because, well, he is incredibly boring. He never seems to learn and it's doubtful he ever will. That doesn't mean we're stopping altogether though. No, we're just taking a bit of a break. Please don't stop sending in your tips though. If Jacek is behaving particularly outrageously, tell us and we'll post it up asap.

By the way Jacek, don't think you've won. We're taking a break, not quitting and don't for one minute think that posts like this magically make things better:

Removing personal attacks

August 17th, 2006

If this blog (i.e. Mobile Phone Fan blog = http://blogs.msmobiles.com/mobilephonefan/) has any personal attacks or any posts that could be construed as personal attacks please contact me by webform or by email or otherwise and let me know EXACT URLs/links to these posts with alleged personal attacks. I would like to remove/delete all of them, but due to my blindness I am not always able to see what is and what is not personal attack…

You know when you are attacking and abusing people, YOU remove them. Also, if they're "alledged", why are you willing to remove them? The best thing YOU can do Jacek is to stop blogging altogether. All that "if you don't like it, don't read it" is bollocks. Your blogs are like car crashes: horribles things that people just can't help looking at.

Racism?

From this post:
London is colorful in more than one sense if you catch my drift.
What are you getting at exactly Jacek? Why do things always seem to come down to race with you?

Hypocrite!

Sorry, but these post were just too hypocritical not to comment on:

audio feedback to news items and blog items

August 7th, 2006

… I am searching for a component that would do it. I have heard rumors that some people are waiting on it, but I don’t believe in vaporware.

Idea is: to enable recording commentary about given news item or blog item and then send this recording to the author. With use of FLASH technology it is possible for sure, but of course the devil lies in details…

and:

ideas doesnt count

August 7th, 2006

… only implementations/realizations count. I know of poeple having some brilliant ideas for example about mobile software for Windows Mobile (do you have some too? share them in comments!) but these ideas never get implemented but people think that they are great just because have some ideas.

Ideas really doesnt count. Only this what gets done counts.

I praise all those people who implement ideas and I not just talk.

Now, how many of Jacek's ideas have we seen come and go? Redmond decaf anyone? Or even his "AI" development? Don't be a talker Jacek, be a doer!

The Jacek Defense

You've gotta admire Jacek's flair for talking his way out of things. If he can't win, he'll change the subject, blind you with random crap and if you call him on it, he'll just take you round and round in circles until you get bored and give up. If that fails, he'll use the "generalisation defense": no names mentioned = generalization = not hurting anyone. Wrong! Some of his posts are obviously NOT generalisations and are obviously written about/aimed at someone specific. However, as he "doesn't name names", he can argue it's a "generalisation" and the victim can't do bugger all. Now, what kind of person could come up with a plan like that? Well, when you've spent as long as Jacek has pissing people off, you have to learn a few tricks to keep the angry lawyers at bay...

I wanna play too!

Acting like a child and stamping his little feet, Jacek has decided to have a little rant about Mobius, an invite-only event organised by Microsoft for influential members of the "mobility" community.

As regular readers readers will know, Jacek was once invited to Mobius and, surprise surprise, was never invited back (although he claims otherwise).

So why has Jacek started to rant about Mobius, out of the blue? Well, given Jacek's past record with trying to blackmail people into doing what he wants, we think he's probably demanded a place at the next Mobius event and has been told "no". We all know how Jacek can get when someone doesn't comply with his demands.

Anyway, here's the rant:

is Mobius a community ?

August 6th, 2006

This blog item is not a personal attack at anybody. There are no names named in this blog item at all. Just a general reflections about Mobius - a conference and “community” organized and managed by Microsoft.

Officially Mobius is an invite-only, yearly, conference organized and paid by Microsoft (bag with goodies and hotel and flying over airplane are paid by Microsoft) where Microsoft invites writers about mobility who are considered by Microsoft to be influential. Furthermore there is email discussion forum where all past and latest Mobius invitees are discussing things.

I myself was a member of Mobius and I am THE ONLY member of Mobius who left it on its own - by my own decision - because website for which I was writing and that was base for Mobius invitation - disappeared. Obviously many people who are members of Mobius no longer are writing for websites on basis of which they were invited or these websites disappeared but they have not behaved like myself and have not left. So membership in Mobius could be considered as “eternal”.

Microsoft claims that Mobius is a COMMUNITY of mobility writers. However I have some doubts regarding this because:

— Mobius is not open - only people who are hand-picked by Microsoft (or advised to Microsoft by existing Mobius members) can come. It is invite-only.

— the true influence doesn’t matter - some people who are considered “unfriendly towards some existing Mobius members” are simply banned for life. It doesn’t matter whether they said something unfriendly 4 years ago or 4 days ago. It is ban for life. And it doesn’t matter whether their websites are being visited by 1 million people more (a month) than websites of some existing Mobius members. The real true influence doesn’t matter. One prejudice is enough to exclude and ban somebody for life from Mobius.

— there are no selection criteria that would be open and published - it is all based on private judgements - very susceptible to mistakes, where people totally without influence and super-tiny readership are also picked by the way.

— there is heavy badmouthing ongoing at Mobius discussion forum where people who are not members of Mobius are being badmouthed by Mobius members. How do I know it if I am not a member of Mobius any longer? Because I have still contacts and apart from that things are leaking on blogs. In other words: how can it be community if people from outside of this community are bashed behind the doors?

— this whole “community” thing looks like disguise for bribery by Microsoft. Honest to God if it is community then why only Microsoft has to have right to pick members? Why other members can’t pick members or why some open/clear/not-closed process/selection criteria can be used for selection?

So, the question is: is Mobius really a community or just a bribery engine for Microsoft? If it indeed is a community why other people interested in mobility (or truly influential in mobility) cannot join, if not as people who are invited (and paid - travel/hotel) to come, then at leat as people who can participate in discussions there.

Can someobdy provide ANY PROOF or any hint that Mobius truly is a community?

Update 1: clearly Mobius fits better difinition of CLIQUE and not definition of community. Definition of clique includes “exclusivity”:

clique = a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes

… but definition of community has no “exclusivity” part:

community = a body of persons of common and especially professional interests scattered through a larger society

… so everything indicates that Mobius is a clique and not a community. Am I wrong? Why?

CSBWatch is no more?

We've had reports that new blog, CSBWatch, is no more. We have no idea why it has been taken down but we have been told that it might have something to do with some emails that were published on there:
there was some nice emails from jacek published on the csb watcher before the plug was pulled

read the blog at 6am but at 9ish it was gone maybe jacek got to them :(

when i read it i thought jw would love this as he was very nasty, how does he manage to get the email adress from a blog?
Unfortunately, we weren't checking that site as often as we should have been so we haven't actually seen these emails. If anyone has a copy of what was on the site before it went down, please get in touch!
