Zienlich arrogant und angeberisch Herr Spiekermann.

Schiessen sie sich nur weiter ins aus.Mit solchen Aussagen befinden sie sich auf dem direkten Weg nach unten.

by attempting to impress people with your.... flamboyant vocabulary you've just made yourself seem like a complete idiot. I reckon you print T shirts for a living don't you?

I guess they can't hear their own 3rd reich voice.They are always yelling.

[orgorgorgorgorg]

cause german speaking people are smart enough to distinguish between a 'stern' and a 'drittes reich' voice ;)

[cannoir]

And how would YOU know I don't speak German ?

Spierkerman with his spicy accent will always remind me of the stereotypical crazy german scientist with broken glasses lol!

[orgorgorgorgorg]

lol, youre not even speaking the language and talking about "drittes reich" voices, fool....

Apple MAc computers are over priced junk, for people that like status symbols and shiney things. Macs should not be allowed in any fast running design studio. They only ended up amongst creatives due to clever marketing appealing to the creatives's desire to be different in an aesthetic sense.

No he doesn't have a 3rd Reich voice at all. He has a bustling voice. This is what a 3rd Reich voice sounds like:

spiekerman has a straight up 3rd reich voice. ugh, and it has salt in it too. he has been using foul language in his 5 mn rant. I would be scared to work for a guy like him. that albino *blank stare* isn't helping lol!

[gusphraba]

He basically says that he's annoyed by Apple working more on shiney little consumer products than fast professional computers for people like him, although he also has an iPod and iPhone.
