No Apple computers for me

,----[ Quote ]
| I had been a apple computer user for the 
| past 5 years and immensely enjoyed the 
| hardware and the software. But, all good 
| things come at a price. Apple's price for a 
| polished user experience has lately turned 
| out to be user freedom.
| 
| [...]
| 
| All said, in the end, there is only one 
| thing to do for me. Stick with Freedom and 
| give up Apple. So, as of yesterday night, I 
| have migrated all music from iTunes to 
| Ubuntu (Rhythmbox player).

Open one way or another

,----[ Quote ]
| Weâve covered our concerns about Appleâs 
| control issues, and weâve also highlighted 
| how the company is creating opportunity for 
| more open alternatives to capture 
| developers, mindshare and yes, believe it 
| or not, consumers. This is the picture we 
| foresaw in our 2008 report, Mobility 
| Matters, where we described the first 
| Android phone, the G1, not as an Apple 
| iPhone killer, but an impressive first step 
| and a sign of an oncoming onslaught of 
| iPhone alternatives, all with openness 
| advantages for hardware manufacturers and 
| wireless carriers that can maintain or 
| create their own brands, and also openness 
| advantages for developers and users in the 
| software available for the devices.

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.
