bug one resolved, at least in one mall, thanks to Apple

| With Linux offerings from HP, Dell, and
| Lenovo, the big names are covered. Heck, it
| is not hard to find a eeePC running Linux
| if you really want one. How about Penguin
| Computing, Linux Certified, System 76,
| Zareason, and other countless Linux
| specialty or Linux friendly white box
| vendors? All of these companies would not
| be in business if there was no money to be
| made by competing with Microsoft. Once
| ChromeOS kicks in, it will be all over for
| Microsoft Windows.

Bells & Whistles
,----[ Quote ]
| Watching the carnival of publicity for both
| Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7, I
| canât help but think that the world has
| forgotten just what an operating system is
| for. An operating system should not be a
| big feature of a computer. An operating
| system should instead be the platform that
| enables you to get on with using the
| computer in question, with the minimum of
| fuss and intrusion. Sure, itâs good to have
| useful tools and features in there, but
| surely the purpose of such features is as
| an add-on, so that the user can pick what
| they intuitively require. If it needs a
| press release and several big-money
| presentations to explain why someone needs
| a particular extra or gizmo, then thereâs a
| compelling argument that they donât need it
| in the first place.

Apple's Mistake
,----[ Quote ]
| I don't think Apple realizes how badly the
| App Store approval process is broken. Or
| rather, I don't think they realize how much
| it matters that it's broken.
|
| The way Apple runs the App Store has harmed
| their reputation with programmers more than
| anything else they've ever done. Their
| reputation with programmers used to be
| great. It used to be the most common
| complaint you heard about Apple was that
| their fans admired them too uncritically.
| The App Store has changed that. Now a lot of
| programmers have started to see Apple as
| evil.
