From Interesting Facts:

The Joy of Adventure’s Yummy Kool-Aid:

A FedEx delivery truck showed up yesterday morning upon our arrival in the St. Louis area with my new MacBook Pro. So far, I’m in technolust. It’s a beautiful machine and feels so sweet and sexy.

RIM needs to remember they are CANADIAN for Pete’s sake:

But the third problem is the one that worries me the most. Apple is almost uniquely good at marketing.

Any tech company that makes its goal to match Apple’s flash is going to look bad by comparison.

If anyone from RIM is reading this, please listen to me closely. I beg of you, don’t be chumps. You’re Canadian, for God’s sake. You don’t do sexy. You do humble and inoffensive.

From Life is Such Sweet Insanity:

Alright, after my Apple rant from earlier today, I have to come clean. Since I got all my frustrations with MobileMe/.Mac and the iPhone 2.0 release I’ve been using my MacBook Pro all afternoon and evening. I love my Macs and I think that’s why I am feeling a tad bit passionate about the snags that occurred at the end of last week and last weekend.

I love my Ubuntu Linux machine. And yes, I still love my Macs.

All is right with the world.
