Apple, Microsoft make mediocre moves
,----[ Quote ]
| I sat there shaking my head in disbelief as I realized I had just witnessed
| possibly the most disheartening Apple keynote in recent memory. Three years
| ago, Steve Jobs introduced the adoption of Intel chips in Apple machines, a
| move that would send its market share soaring. A year later he walked up on
| stage and announced the phone that would change the mobile world forever.

Apple finalizes PowerPC divorce with OS upgrade
,----[ Quote ]
| When the new operating system arrives in September, it'll work only on
| Intel-based Macs. That means Mac OS X 10.5, aka Leopard, will be the end of
| the line for those with Macs that use PowerPC processors.

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t 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 can’t 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 you’re using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you can’t 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.
