Why I've Switched from Ubuntu to Mac
ECMArchitect's Jeff Potts reports:
'It pains me to say it, but I've left Ubuntu as my primary OS andswitched to Mac. I used Ubuntu as my primary operating system on myDell laptop for over two years. I loved it. I felt very productive inthe OS, especially relative to Windows. Many people have commented onhow excited I must be ('Dude, you're getting a Mac!') but for me itkind of feels like it did when we moved out of the house our kids wereborn in - I know we moved for the right reasons, but the old place wasspecial to me.
'So why the switch? With Ubuntu there were a few annoyances....
'Could I have fixed these issues? Given enough time, probably. ButI'd rather spend my time elsewhere rather than fooling around withstuff that ought to 'just work'....'

Picking the Right Mac
ITManagement's Ryan Faas reports:
'Computers tend to be one of those big-ticket items that make it onto many holiday shopping lists. With the current state of the economy,choosing the best machine for your money is probably a bigger concernfor would-be computer shoppers this year than in the past.
'If you're thinking about buying a Mac for your family (or evenyourself), understanding Apple's product line can be important tomaking that right choice, whether you're a longtime Mac fan or someonejust considering switching from a PC.'

Is Apple Still Worthy of the Jolly Roger?
The Register'sRik Myslewski has posted the Mac Report Card, Part Two:
'In August 1983, Steve Capps of Apple's original Macintosh Divisionfamously hoisted a pirate flag over his team's Cupertino building toembody Steve Jobs's dictum that 'It's better to be a pirate than jointhe navy.' From that day forward, members of the Mac community havebeen a little feistier, a little more insular, a little more picky, anda little more self-righteous than other computer users.
'Five months after the flag went up, Jobs, Capps, and Co. unleashedthe first Macintosh with that iconic'1984' Super Bowl ad, and after 25 years, their symbol ofrule-breaking innovation is still on the market. The question iswhether Apple is still the pirate it once was.
'Last week, in honor of the Mac's upcoming quarter centuryanniversary, we unloaded Part One of our Apple Report Card, grading thecompany/cult on everything from sales to CEOs. Now, we give you PartTwo, which dares to ask if today's Apple is just another money-hungrytech biz. How does it score on innovation? The environment? Corporatephilanthropy?'
'Being a member of the Mac gang also meant defending your turf. TheFord versus Chevy arguments of the 50s and 60s were small potatoescompared to the Mac versus PC bickering of the 80s and 90s. Webdiscussion groups and user forums bristled with invective and trashtalk. It was Sunnis versus Shi'ites sans IEDs and mortar rounds - withthe Linux-using Kurds keeping a safe and peaceful distance.
'But those scrappy days are drawing to a close....'
Editor's note: I'm disappointed in Apple and SteveJobs in the area of philanthropy. Myslewski was unable to find evidencethat Apple engages in any charitable giving, although it did donate$100,000 to fight Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment to endgay marriage in California. After Jobs' return, Apple ended itscorporate giving in 1997 and is listed as one of America's Least Philanthropic Companies.
It appears that Jobs doesn't engage in any charitablegiving. As LeanderKahney said on Wired in January 2006, 'On the evidence, he'snothing more than a greedy capitalist who's amassed an obscene fortune.It's shameful.' In writing on the Jobs legacy earlier this year,BusinessWeek's Arik Hesseldahl says, 'Jobs isn't widely known for his associationwith philanthropic causes.' That's an undertatement - thetongue-in-cheek Complete Book of Steve Jobs' Philanthropy is a title pagefollowed by 49 blank pages.
Kudos to those in the Mac community who arecharitable: Small DogElectronics comes to mind for its support of Doctors WithoutBorders, Amnesty International, Puppy Mill Rescue, the VermontFoodbank, and other causes. On a much smaller scale, Low End Macsupports a local food bank and Kids Food Basket, an amazing localprogram that provides sack dinners to over 1,500 school children whootherwise would not have an evening meal - and hopes to double that. Itall began when one woman decided to do something about childhood hunger in GrandRapids, Michigan. It's an honor to be associated with programs likethis. dk
