iBong... extremely funny, until you read the article:
"There is a strong connection between Macs and pot. Both are countercultures, in the loosest sense of the word, appealing to people who are creative or artistic, people who, as a particular ad campaign might say, "Think different.""
Just like this book, totally wrong view of Mac users.
This article isn't that bad, but it's based on one MAJOR misconception: that Apple is a software company. Apple is not. Apple makes software IN ORDER TO SELL HARDWARE. Not the other way around. All of its money comes from Hardware sales. In order to sell OSX (or any other software) on x86 hardware, it would have to become a Microsoft type company - that is, a software driven company. This is a complete culture shift. It may work, but it wouldn't be the Apple that we all know and love (or not, whatever you think).
I don't know about you guys, but at IBM eBusiness there's no such thing as 40 hour workweeks. I'm a part time employee at IBM Service Delivery Center NorthEast, Commerical Webhosting, and I work 40 hours/week. The fulltimers work 60+, and must be there at 3 AM on Sunday mornings very often. Not to mention pagers are a must on everybody.
Did I mention I also work 20 hours/week at another job, and go to school full time as well? Fun fun.
40 hours is a dream, as far as I'm concerned.
