A collection of interesting tidbits from around the 'net.
Apple users liked Apple’s system, while Windows users liked Microsoft’s system. This is not just standard fanboyism; it reflects the fact that when you ask people to choose a style or design that they prefer, unless they are trained, they will generally choose the one that looks most familiar.
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But, of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. To design something really well, you have to ‘get it’. You really have to grok what’s it all about.

Can people stop using sIFR on links. I lose the ability to middle click and it annoys the fuck out of me.
MS’ upgrade approach is you can keep using your old computer and the new MS OS will be slow as hell so you better upgrade but it will probably be easier to buy a new machine.
Apple’s approach to OS X is easy, all you have to do is throw away your old computer and buy a new one and you’re upgraded!
I believe that was just a “Microsoft user”. Since Windows XP / Vista are popular and easy to use, we get a lot of the flailing morons who don’t know anything about computers. I’ve seen quite a lot of people who think they know what they’re talking about on Windows computers. My laptop was shutting down, and a fellow students suggested “your RAM cards were overheating”.
Popularity sucks, I feel bad for Windows.
I love Digg :]
I don’t think you should eat something that had a mother. I don’t think that’s right.
