I use OS X as a web dev platform (it's how I earn my living). It runs apache/php/mysql. It has a million different editors available (I use Komodo IDE). Excellent database tools run on it (Navicat in my case) and it runs all the adobe software that I need as well (mainly Fireworks & Photoshop). I can also run almost every browser in existence for testing, except ie, which I can run fine in a virtual box vm. And underneath all of that it provides nearly all the power of a FreeBSD system.
I've used different systems as my primary development environment in the past, mainly Windows and several different Linux distros and NONE were as good for my purposes as OS X.
I modify the logo banner on the website of the company I work for on the holidays, in fact, I just created new artwork for easter... Am I in trouble?:p
Exactly. I don't believe we had those issues in the recent floods in QLD Australia (which was a really major disaster that wiped out whole towns). Well at least not badly anyway. A friend up there did tell me there were some small fights in some shops over things like bread but I think that's about as bad as it got... No need to defend against insane people wielding guns...
Mine have the scratchproof coating and they are scratched to shit and they're only 6 months old:( I'm fairly careful with them too... Not to mention that the coating bubbles sometimes; I had that problem with my old glasses.
I've seen those floppy cheap rubber keyboards used in a few places like that. I always thought they were just a stupid novelty thing but it does seem they are actually useful for something.
I have a Das Keyboard, and it is really nice (for 200 bucks it would want to be!) They don't use buckling spring switches though; IBM has a patent on that. They use Cherry MX switches.
Better than what they did at my high school. They put big metal doors at the entrances to the toilets and locked them during class hours and refused to let students use them except for morning break and lunch (which were both really far apart). As if people somehow have control over how their body works. And they had teachers going into the toilets every 5 minutes on break times...

I agree, this article is nothing but a troll.

Just like the "scratch proof" and "anti glare" coatings they ripped me off for when I bought my glasses. Neither work!
