Mac Takes Honors as Best Unix Desktop: "I really hope Linux developers start spending more time on polishing up the desktop and improving its help systems and documentation. In the meantime, while Linux and KDE make up my preferred desktop, I think there can be really no question that the best Unix desktop for most users is Mac OS X and Aqua."

Curiosity killed the geek: 'We geeks are curious people. That's probably what makes us smart -- we like to know how things work [...] Someone mentioned "do not try to take the keys off of your a mac laptop, they're a pain to put back on". A natural reaction, of course, was me snapping off the shift key on my powerbook. "Hey, how hard could it be!"' [kasia in a nutshell]

Rsscache.com - non-solution to a non-problem: "I just got spammed by rsscache.com - they want to protect me from a bandwidth usage problem that my rss feed is causing me. There are only three problems with their business proposition. a) I really don't like to be spammed b) My RSS feed doesn't cause bandwidth problems." [Krzysztof Kowalczyk weblog]
