What Price Cool? Mac vs. PC
,----[ Quote ]
| There are two major platforms: Apple and Windows, and Macs generally cost
| more than PCs. Thus ends the latest propagandistic report. But what about
| Linux?
|
| [...]
|
| This is not particularly earth-shattering news. Linux is never mentioned, of
| course, and some might argue that this report is a smokescreen to keep people
| from looking at the third alternative. And since this report emphasizes both
| short- and long-term costs and expenses, Linux is actually the elephant (or
| the jaunty jackalope) in the room.

Dvorak Likes Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Every so often I take a stab at Linux, to see exactly what I like and do not
| like about the OS. Many of its problems, for me, stem from its inability to
| run on my overloaded hardware, or the occasional driver that makes the OS
| impossible to use without hand-tweaking something or other. That said, I
| seriously like the Ubuntu 8.10 implementation and will now install it
| permanently on my latest machines. It's a winner.

Will Google become Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| The point is that Google has given us only glimpses of its potential, and if
| we were to equate it with Microsoft, it would be like buying Microsoft stock
| today for 30 cents to 40 cents a share.

Microsoft's Negative Brand Image Gets Worse
,----[ Quote ]
| It's the Microsoft brand that attracts negative attention, don't you think?
| I've said this before in other columns, but Microsoft has lost control of its
| own brand image. The company lost it years ago, and I now see the brand
| itself as a negative factor. The exercise above confirms this if the
| conclusions are correct, and I believe they are.
