Good question. Why don't you go ask him ;) :p

Seriouslly, a liar knows when his lies go out of hand, considering he might have some mayor lawsuits up his throat. What I mean, a liar can continue and continue lying, but he will likelly stop when his lies will cost hime money, LOTS of money.

Uh oh. Looks like my computer is more obsolete than it was before I found Michael's Computers. I'm going to buy one (or not). People like this should be pulled into the street and shot. Seriously, is this guy a refugee from some mental institution or what?

this guy isnt just a tool, hes not even a tool box, hes the whole damn tool-shed..

LOL! That's perhaps the best way of describing this guy.

OK... new here but not to computers. Read about this on THG and just finished reading the 500 post topic (ugh!). Altho not new to comps and tech I am new to posting here (just wandered around this forum before) but to make up for that I submit the following:

The company I work for is into two major lines of work, one is Registering companies to Management Systems (Quality and Environmental ISO 9001 and 14001) which is what I do for a living (auditing the company operations nothing like accounting this is more investigative into actual practices throughout the company; the other is Product Certification - basically safety and other testing, if it has a CE mark or FCC testing then a company like mine did it in fact we test a majority of the computer monitors on the market as we are kinda like an international version of UL.

One of our clients is a very large multinational corporation that ****-heads website claimed was in "partnersip" with him. Lets just say that the corp in question is huge and has more lawyers than OJ Simpson could dream of. One of my fellow workers is in very good contact with a senior management person at this corp and I forwarded the THG link and archived websites to him along with information from here. Speaking to him on the phone I explained what was waiting in his email and he was shocked that someone would be that stupid (these guys are bigger than the military, hell they supply to the military) and has sworn on his families graves for the past few generations that he will contact the senior management tomorrow morning. In addition we are searching our files to ensure that no other customers are referred to.


Michael: Your *** is OWNED!

NNOT5150: Thank you for the great work, avid THG fan for years. You helped me to get this info out so that our customer can do something about it!

At first, I thought he knew the camera was there. Now, looking at the video again, he may not have noticed until the end of the interview. Just before the video ends, he looks down, and notice his facial expression change to terror.

I edited the end of the tape. It was me walking away from the house, laughing my *** off. I didn't think it would have been professional to keep that in.

I have wanted to drive down to there (living here in Corona, So not far away).. But I have always been to busy... :( Or just lazy in wanting to go :D

But I must admit, that was nice.. I am suprised THG even followed through with this.. I have been a fan of THG for many years.. Long ago when Tom did the reviews...

When I first watched the video, I was wondering what was up with the camera angle and bad framing.. But after a few moments, I knew something was up.. The look on his face was nice!

LOL I LOVE THAT.. Had to watch that end again... That whole.. Do you have a business card.. oh no not right now.. Then the suit is nice.. Them WHAM!!! WHAT IS THAT!!! A CAMERA!!! OH NO!!!! LOOK!!!

I can see it now.. If the Hard Drive dont fit, you must acquit! :D

If you are ever in my area, I'll buy you a drink :)

omfg...i didn't even notice his eyes get all huge and scared at the end of the interview when he saw the camera....that's just awesome!! i wonder if michael's seen his wonderful little interview yet? :D

Just what kind of a computer can a person make when he can't even notice a UNHIDDEN camera in a 10 min interview?

LOLOLOL tbagged by a fat man named lobsterman does it get any worse.

michael was pwned by the love pipe.

Wow this was great. :D

Now for a few good quotes:

...Basically running it in an environment that it can run in properly without the limitations of just air cooling

---

Wow, so I guess Intel and AMD don't properly run their own processors since they come with air cooling. Thanks to the greediness of these companies we are at 3.4Ghz when we could be at 10Thz utilizing Michael's "proper" method. :rolleyes:

...And then I have a drop off point in a UPS store that I go to...

and

I sent them shipping information with FedEx tracking...

---

Umm...what is he doing with a UPS drop box when he uses FedEx? :confused:

Quote:

---

Between my other associates and I...

---

What? He has "associates"? :rolleyes:

---

We've never had a return, we've never had a system ever come back and none has ever failed since the beginning of '96

---

From what I have heard from members buying computers from Michael for "kicks and giggles" their computers are never shipped. No wonder they've never had a return or a system come back when he never sends them out in the first place.

ROFL! The interview was great! I wonder what lame excuse Michael would have made up if Humphrey asked, "Now do you use these computers for yourself as well? Mind if I come in and take a look at one?"

It would be better to ask if he could bring one of his laptops outside. I would be worried about being chopped up and spread accross the back yard. The best bet seemed to stay in public with him.

It was the only way I could hold my notepad with my left hand and write with my right hand.

The bad angle is because I'm 5'5" and he is a giant 6'4" at least.

Just watched the video, that guy is scary, he seems so convinced about his own PCs it's just bizarre!

Well done in not only tracking the guy down but getting a video of him :)

you used that pic in the THC hub forums already....;)

if i think you are who you are...

it's about time...

I think the guy is insane, he genuinely believes what he's saying.

He could have a split personality or something where the 'good' Michael knows that 'bad' Michael is full of BS.
