AARGH!

Did anyone just see that horrible performance on Screen Savers?! Megan was trying to show off Calendock for OSX. She didn't even have it installed yet! She was trying to mount the disk image, but it failed and then her little buddy was quipping, "That's why I don't use a mac". What's up with that shit?! How can they have a person demonstrating software when they obviously haven't even tried it (or installed it).

I've never actually watched it as it wasn't in my cable lineup until I moved a couple of months ago. I just decided to check it out when I heard there were some keynote ads. Megan was my very first exposure to TechTV. I was very excited when they said they would be showing off something for osx after the commercial break, and then Megan comes on.

At least they are demonstrating Photoshop Elements on a Mac (os9). It looks complicated; maybe Apple will release iPicture on Monday

The real question is this:

Is Megan hot?

PowerBookDude: I think you should get out more. Unless she's your wife in which case I'm sure she has a lovely personality.

There are only two good looking chicks on that network, the Indian girl from the new tech show and the one girl from the cyber crime show. The rest aren't necessarily ugly but not attractive either... that's being kind though.

Megan and Leo are pro-Apple, BTW. If it weren't for them (and that flaky guy) there probably would be no Apple on TechTV.

I don't remember the commentators from the last MW, but TechTV kept talking over it and there comments were strained and, well, stupid. I recall thinking that they should be MSTV. Maybe I'll give them another shot tomorrow..

I wouldn't say "Hot" I'd say she's "Cute" and while some women prefer being called "Hot" I prefer women who are "cute". She's got that sort of pretty yet plain look about her. Not all glamorous or made-up. A natural beauty (which is what I prefer anyway).

Sigh, Man I just need to get laid

You preach the truth brother Mike. I think MacNN needs a "Mac users who work too much or spend too much time on MacNN and need to get laid" support group. I'd join..... or is that what the lounge is for?

After reading this I think it safe to say that many people have in their minds a strange definition of "hot." Because "hot" Megan definately isn't.

Megan Marrone is very beautiful. Those netcam pics don't even begin to do her justice.

Well, all aesthetic tastes aside, I don't think that anyone here 'knows' her off camera, so who are we to comment on her intelligence or personality? I know I've bungled up mounting a disk image once or twice...

Here's hoping I'm never ever on a TV show regularly enough to have stalker sites dedicated to me...

Anyone else just a little disturbed or is this a regular 'net thing that I've been immune to for all these years?
