Windows 8 To Be 128-bit Only? LOL

Wow. I have to admit, the most amazing thing about this rumor is that anyone believed it. I won't single anyone out, but spare me. It's completely and utterly bogus. Obviously.

Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

I used to think of lazy bloggers as being the bottom feeders of the web. (You know, people who blog about absolutely nothing and then end the post with, "Thoughts?" or "Discuss!" in some weird bid to get an actual conversation going.) But this one takes the cake. In a post to the...

Mozilla puts Safari's '11 million downloads' in perspective

LOL. As if it weren’t bad enough that Apple was force feeding Safari 4 to its customers and then gloating about the number of downloads it achieved, we have this bit of news from Mozilla’s Asa Dotzler, which really puts that figure in perspective. I just read that Apple is reporting 11 million Safari...

WWDC 2009: Time for a reality check

Apple is providing its WWDC 2009 keynote address today, providing some interesting info about its Mac and iPhone platforms. But this is Apple we're talking about. So it's time for a reality check. 75 million Mac OS X users. Apple claimed that the OS X user base magically jumped from 25 million...

The magic of wishful thinking ... Windows 7 edition?

Virtually everyone who has used the Windows 7 RC has come away with positive reactions, especially concerning performance. And few would question the fact that Windows 7 runs acceptably on even low-end netbook hardware, a la Windows XP, but unlike Windows Vista. And yet, now that we have the first credible...

The magic of wishful thinking ... This time in the Apple camp

Recent reports of a magic IE 8 performance boost make me smile because this kind of thing is simply human. We all see what we want to see, what we expect to see. It's just part of our DNA. It explains UFO and Bigfoot sightings. And, apparently, it explains Apple fanatics. Because these guys believe...

How Mac fanatics see the world

I saw this story mentioned on Macsurfer today and smiled immediately. Because it occurred to me that Mac fanatics--you know, the crazy ones, not Mac users --would completely disagree with its opening assertion: Corporate Comebacks: Apple In 1997, Apple was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Ten years...

Microsoft: Celebrate Tax Day by avoiding the Apple Tax

They're getting pretty persistent about this. (Of course, they do have a point. Macs are absolutely more expensive than PCs.) Brandon over at the Windows team blog posts about the company's latest Apple Tax initiative: With the ailing global economy, I am looking at ways I get better value for...

One last look at the 'Lauren' I'm a PC ad

The tech world--especially the Mac world--is still aflame in some sort of weird controversy over Microsoft's latest "I'm a PC" ad, the one in which Lauren buys a $699 HP laptop. There's been all kinds of silliness about this ad. But there's also been some more reasoned commentary...
