Now Microsoft's just going to keep running the ads. Good job.

LEGAL DEPARTMENT IS A SPY! ...

I read about this and just ... wow. Yeah, I agree. Someone is getting fired. Reinforcing a negative stereotype = a bad thing. I thought that maybe a legal department for a Fortune 500 company would understand that kind of a concept.

Maybe Apple will realize now that Microsoft does have a point (they won't.) I freaking love OS X, and Apple's machines are fantastic in terms of software, but I need a new machine with a newer graphics card, and uh ... my old overworked MacBook Pro, despite being otherwise completely adequate, isn't compatible with a lot of the accelerations I need in CS4 and turboCAD (rendering complex 3D things with the CPU is about as fun as eating a thumbtack-and-sand sandwich.) And I can't afford the third-tier iMac (let alone a portable Mac) just to get a dedicated video board.

Sorry Apple, but I'm going to have to get a system76 or something.

Hehehe, that article made me smile. Mostly because we were more or less tricked into buying one "because my major required it" (it's the opposite) for an absurd price.

It's funny, with Microsoft losing its position, Apple almost looks to be more of a tyrant these days.

Of course, then I remember Vista.
