QA with Matt Asay: How Linux is Beating Apple and Much More
,----[ Quote ]
| Asay: I'm not sure this is the right
| question, as Linux already competes with and
| beats Apple in a huge array of devices. Linux
| spans everything from HPC to embedded devices
| and everything in between. Apple cannot
| compete with that. Could you build a
| supercomputer using Mac hardware? Sure, but
| you'd be mortgaging your house to do so and
| even then, the Mac would likely lose.
|
| Of course, Apple doesn't want to compete in
| such markets. It's famously focused and opts
| to do a few things very well, like its iPhone
| and laptops.
|
| Can Linux compete in these markets? Yes. Of
| course it can. Look at Android as perhaps the
| best example of effectively competing with
| Apple in mobile. Apparently Apple agrees
| with me, as its patent infringement suit
| against HTC is almost certainly a shot over
| Google's bow, as The New York Times recently
| suggested. Apple is worried. And it should
| be.

| As a side note, although I expressed strong
| reservations when Mr. Asay was named
| Canonical COO, I havenât heard anything from
| him yet that I find objectionable.

The MacBook Air misses its mark
,----[ Quote ]
| So Apple has just announced its MacBook Air, a very thin, very
| snazzy-looking, not-so-cheap $1,799 notebook.
|
| [...]
|
| However, there are a few companies that are actually starting to get it.
| Small, Linux-based boxes such as the Asus EEE and the Everex CloudBook don't
| have the sleek designs of the Vista (and Mac) devices, and they suffer from
| awkward keyboards and some OS issues, but they are lightweight, functional,
| and (at $400) inexpensive enough to grab as a useful tool rather than as a
| showy investment.
