Love the Mac > Europe, That Foreign Nation

The Tao of Mac - HomePagehttp://the.taoofmac.com/space [The Tao of Mac - HomePage] We definitely don't need third-world customer experiences added to that, and Matt's plight is therefore another example of how needs to beef up their European operation, the nadir of which consists (in my opinion) of my colleagues making a detour by the Regent Street Store when they visit our corporate mothership in the UK and buy their laptops there even knowing they had to incur the additional expense of buying a Portuguese keyboard.

http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com [Stevegilliard.blogspot.com] THE NEWS BLOG: It would seem that the weblogs.com hosted folks weren't aware that this was going to happen, and to have these weblogs pulled without some warning, and then this abrasive note placed in its place - that's about the most graceless thing I have seen since I’ve dipped toes into these waters. And I If the folks at weblogs.com did have notice this was happening, and there has been clearly defined time limits to the hosting, no harm for Winer deciding to longer host.

http://www.bisonium.com [Bisonium.com] ::: bisonium.com :::: Apple Archives: . I've been following his blog for quite sometime, more out of curiosity to see if maybe he could actually contribute something that would at least get me to look at Microsoft in a different way. But nope, he's done just the opposite. His postings are sometimes amusing, but more often idiotic rants about things he knows very little or nothing about. Instead of being the human face behind Microsoft, he is just another PR / Marketing FUD slinging Redmonite. One of the more interesting things about Scoble is that he is very selective about which comments he allows on his site, although he will claim otherwise. I have posted my comments on various occasions, often arguing his anti-Apple idiotic rants and backing up his quotes with hard facts. I guess he really doesn't want the truth to be let out because he always seems to delete my posts. And mind you, they are clean and not offensive, unlike some other comments I have seen. The difference is that I hammer him with facts. This is yet just another example of how Microsoft will censor what the public really thinks about them and how they manage criticism on their own sites. Although this is Scoble's site, he is PAID by Microsoft and blogging is part of his duties, therefore, MSFT controls him and his blog. On occasion he will however let one slip through.

[Charltonb.typepad.com] Charlton Barreto's Weblog: techmology: According to a recent Business Week article, it costs Apple US$898 for an Intel iMac before loading it with software and packaging, "But for Apple, the switch to Intel chips is less about saving money in the short term, and more about hitching its wagon to Intel's longer-term product road maps, particularly in the area of notebooks. IBM's chips are power-hungry and generate a lot of heat, and therefore not suitable to notebook computers.

[Doug-miller.net] Doing Something Different: A Weblog by Doug Miller: Despite the cheerleading, it isn't yet possible to live as if there were broad adoption of these technologies. We can't act as if everyone around us knows about and uses this stuff, and we can't just dismiss those who don't as "clueless." Moreover, as more and more people do adopt these technologies, it becomes more and more important to acknowledge that there may be some legitimate concerns about their use that go hand-in-hand with the positives - and if we don't start considering those now rather than just beating our breasts about how clever they (and we) are, it might just be too late to do much about it when the time comes.
