The committee also noted that the Apple advertisement is double plus ungood. In an unrelated note, UK Mac User smashed the committee's chanting jumbotron in an act of hammer tossing vandalism.
Now, the RIAA has really done it. If all the free music didn't make everyone want to get P2P, all the free porn will be sure to convince the last few hold outs.
Slackware--and Debian, for that matter--people have been friendly with me. I heard so much of a stink about how tough and unfriendly their installations were that I avoided it for a long time, and I'm not sure it is fair. I think there's too much "RTFM" in a lot of Linux-related discourse. Hell, the MPlayer FAQ has the phrase "RTFM" in it!!! That's ridiculous. BTW, I think I'll try Gentoo next--I do hear good things about it as well.

...Because Microsoft has crappy Bluetooth support. It is excellent for its INTENDED purposes on OS X--recent iSync issues not withstanding. As for the technology being dead, little companies like Sony keep pushing it.
First of all, OSX is a feather in Apple's cap in terms of marketing. It's really increased Apple's mindshare lately: Desktop Unix is a big deal. Why challenge that with Windows emulation? Virtual PC is good for legacy Applications, but I don't think Apple needs any help from the Windows community. There are plenty of awesome applications already, and there will be more on the way, particularly with help from the Open Source community. Why make Safari and Keynote if they wanted to cozy up to Microsoft with a Windows emulator. Even if OSX is ported to x86, they won't emulate for Windows applications. And they won't switch to x86. Intel's too caught up in stuff like Palladium.
Maureen McHugh's a cool writer. I studied under her at John Carroll University. She's written some very well received sci-fi novels such as Nekropolis.

I haven't read the book yet, but this was one of the more informative reviews that I've read here.

Don't stare at the dots. It's a DARPA conspiracy. I can't tell you any more, but it has something to do with Al Gore being on the Apple board.
