If you are just feeling really generious - I’d love to have one of these new computers. I’ll get one, just have to wait a few months.
The new MacBookPro is just sexy. Smooth, sleek, skinny, shinny, and performs like no other. It’s new battery lets it perform for hours more.
Safari - First Full Pass of Acid3

Well, this is certainly some exciting news. As a web developer I love to see someone getting close to the set standards. Safari has a perfect 100 now (Thank you Apple!) with Internet Explorer having a not so perfect 14. But that’s to be expected from Micr$oft.
It’s so aggravating when you develop a site and it works in every browser, Opera, Safari, FireFox, Sea Monkey, and all the others including some of Internet Explorer - but there is just one version of Internet Explorer that it does not work in.
99.9999% of the time this is not the web developer’s problem, but another case of Micro$oft’s sloppy programing and their general “I don’t care about standards if we didn’t set them” attitude.
Microsoft flops again - not even 300 million can help

Well, this is kind of embarissing for Microsoft. Someone looking at the newest ads found that Microsoft had them made on a Mac! Then if that was not bad enough, they did not even use thier own software (SilverLight) which runs on Mac and Windows, but instead used Adobe’s CS3. Now, how can you be saying “mine is better! (but I won’t use it myself!”?

Then to make matters worse, the ad is advertising PC not windows. Opps! Another bad, because Micro$oft does not make PCs they make windows.
Then we have the Mojave Experments where Microsoft unwittingly portrays the general public as morons that they can pull a fast one over on telling them they are using the next version of windows when really it is Vista to “prove” that people just think Vista is bad. The problem here, is that the people are not using it themselves, but are being showed by a tech. I asked if I could get a tech with Vista and they said they may realease them with the next update (when they fix the dependency on DOS).
Then to make matter worse, we have the Seinfeld ads that are supposed to make Bill Gates seem like one of us! Ha! All it did was teach us that he can wag his butt, buy cheap shoes, and look like a withdrawn dork. Then the one where they move in with a family and end up getting kicked out!
What a waste of 300 million dollars!
