As you may know, Apple has started a new media campaign aimed at gaining converts to the Mac. The predominant theme of these spots seems to be creative types (writers, musicians), expounding on how they couldn't grasp Windows but felt much better on the Mac.
As a creative person who has (we assume) mastered the daily use of Linux, what do you think of the message of this campaign & do you feel that any particluar desktop is too "unwieldy" for non-techie use?
Not meaning to flame, it's a good post. But the UN is hardly without bias. That doesn't mean that their reports are untrue, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them unbiased.
"Global Civil Society"?? Care to define that?
I get a little nervous when people spout such utopian stuff. It could mean anything from just "don't hurt other people" to "make sure other people don't commit crimethink".

How long will it be before the HD boxes are set up to "phone-home" the list of all the flagged shows seen on your TV?
It'll be bundled wih some type of "feature", like PVR."Global Civil Society"?? Care to define that? I get a little nervous when people spout such utopian stuff. It could mean anything from just "don't hurt other people" to "make sure other people don't commit crimethink".
