My pedantry requires that I mentioned that "wherefore art thou" Shakespeare-style actually means Why are you, not Where.
But assuming you actually meant where, what are you looking for? A long lost girlfriend, Timothy? Are you looking for a map to her new place? What about the restraining order?
I don't know if I haven't had enough Kool-aid or what, but does anyone else find Windows (XP... or 2000) to be significantly faster than Mac OS X? I do. And I'm a Mac nut - I use a PowerBook - 1 Ghz, 512 MB RAM.
The only times when Windows kills me with speed is shutting down/logging out or if you leave your computer on overnight. It's usually a dog in the morning and swapping like no tomorrow, so I always make it a habit to shut it down.
Insightful. Most Slashdot book reviews are awful but this one was very good. (The flamebait-ish last line of the blurb was a little grating but excusable)

I own the Tipping Point and I'm a big fan of it. I find myself classifying a lot of people that I meet as Connectors, Mavens, or Salespeople.
Some other comment described the book as obvious. I'd strongly disagree. The conclusions were very surprising and interesting. I'd highly recommend The Tipping Point. Blink is now on my list.
I know what you're saying but I don't think it's that black or what. I know a company who gets about 12% of their business through Google searches for the product they sell. They have employees dedicated to finding out how to improve their search rankings in hopes of attracting more business. Sure, lots comes from word of mouth and stuff but it's not impossible to get business from Google searches.

Since then, has there been anything else as revolutionary as the Mac was at the time? I can't think of any. It really *was* something to get excited about.
Really? I think you are in a very small minority. I think part of the reason for the decline of newspapers is that the current generation prefers fast, succinct information. With the Internet it's a lot easier to filter the stuff you are interested in (e.g RSS feeds), rather than sifting through a paper. Also, it's a lot easier to look up the details yourself if you ARE interested.
I go out for drinks with Jon Ive's assistant all the time. That bitch never shuts up except when it comes to talking about Apple; then mum's the word. It's a real shame because the only reason I'm seeing her is to get some inside dirt. She's smokin' hot but I've sworn off women. I only lust after Apple products now.

Is this the next Ellen Feiss?
Really? How do you use it? I've been using it more as a novelty/check-out-what-I-think-is-interesting thing. Please elaborate.
It might have a hard time pulling it's weight. This is because it weighs so little. And that's because it's a plastic box.
No dude, that's complement.
I think he meant more than just shortcuts for launching applications. But thanks for being snarky.
Do you mean two dupes on the same page? I know they can too... it happened just a week or two ago!
Cool, I didn't know that. Where do you work, if you can say?
Phew! Well it's good to know that someone will ensure justice is served. Too bad about the millions of people though.
But assuming you actually meant where, what are you looking for? A long lost girlfriend, Timothy? Are you looking for a map to her new place? What about the restraining order?
Hmmm, Calgary and Edmonton seem to be the two biggest bugs on there that I have seen. I wonder why the map images don't load.

Yes, since supersaver is free you'd actually have to order an infinite amount of items per year.
Well, make it different formatting then... like offset, above the blurb. Use the same principle as a newspaper headline.
As for being burnt, call up Apple. They'll credit you the difference.
Sure thing. See this story from December.

Me too!!

Haha, mod that up. Very nice puns.
