The Sleeping Disorder of the MacBook Pro
,----[ Quote ]
| I have two MacBooks. One is from early 2007,
| the other from late 2009. Both have
| intermittent problems waking up from sleep
| often enough, and similarly enough, to indicate
| that the perfectionist culture rumored to drive
| Appleâs every move has its severe blind spots.

The 'year of the Linux desktop' has passed
,----[ Quote ]
| But in my new role at Canonical, I've switched
| to using Ubuntu on my Lenovo ThinkPad X200s
| and have found Linux comfortably routine. Like
| my Mac, it just works--no drama with day-to-
| day Internet activities like e-mail, Web
| browsing, IM, Twitter. It lets me do all the
| things I used to do, and still largely with
| the same applications I used on my Mac.

How I kicked the Mac habit - with Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| After starting a new job this year though I was brought back around to Linux
| on the desktop. My first day at the office I was asked "so do you want
| Windows or Linux"? No brainer for me, even with my past pains on the desktop.
| Linux. (Oh, and they also asked me to pick a hostname themed off of a beer -
| I thought, man, I made the right choice coming here.) That was how I formally
| met Ubuntu. I ended up with a Hardy Heron box that has worked really really
| well.

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why Iâm switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why Iâm leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesnât work for me. No location bar
| and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
| move files around the way I want to.
| 2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
| panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
| however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
| applications or files on them, and you canât even put in a separator to
| keep them organized.
| 3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
| * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
| only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
| annoying when the program youâre using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesnât open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you canât see hidden files unless you run a command from the
| terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
| or always off.
