I am very excited that a new company called Psystar, is selling mac clones. And apparently I'm not the only one. The internet is buzzing about the news. Here is a great post from CNet.
Now I can run Logic, on a quad core, for around $1,000. That's HOT!

A Cheaper OS X

Right on cue for my last post a company called Psystar is selling an Apple Clone for $399 w/out the operating system.
Add OS X, and it comes to about $550. And that is with 2 gig's of ever needing memory.

The Internet is buzzing over the death of Windows XP. Vista has not been successful, so the upcoming withdrawal of XP is making users uncomfortable. They are awaiting the arrival of Windows 7 to solve their problems, but who's to say that MS will get it right this time? They worked on Vista for several years postponing its debut many, many times and it still sucks. Meanwhile Apple has an operating system that is great and keeps getting better. Not only is OS X stable and a lot more fun to use, it comes bundled with goodies like Garage Band and iMovie. And did I mention that OS X is affordable as well?

And while MS is burdened with many problems, like how to compete with Google, Apple can do no wrong. The iPod is a phenomena. iTunes is now the number one music retailer. And the iPhone has sparked a mini revolution in the cell phone industry.

The timing could not be more auspicious for Apple to release an OS for PCs! Come on Steve, you finally went with Intel. Now make an OS X for Dell and HP to install on factory computers. It doesn't even have to be the latest version. Tiger would work. Please Mr Job's, we need this.

Meanwhile, MS move to take over Yahoo is as dumb as when Time Warner let itself merge with AOL.
The main reason Yahoo was able to attract so many customers is because it was not MS. Yahoo mail grew because people were fed up with HotMail. How is it that the people who run MS don't understand this?

Dude, we don't like your brand! We don't like what you stand for.
You are the dark side, and you always will be. You really think that we are going to stay at Yahoo once you take it over?
Why do you think we left Hotmail in the first place?

On My Mind, Open Office, Go Google?

I changed my opening logo, I hope you like it! Is any one reading me? Drop a comment or send some mail!
I have started another blog , a photo newspaper about downtown. It's called The San Diego Gaslamp

I installed Apple's new OS recently, and it seems to have slowed down my mac significantly.
It's OS X.5, nicknamed Leopard.
Certain software programs take forever to open now. I would like to reformat my hard drive and reinstall OS X.4 , But it's to much work. I should have waited, really!

I have been using NeoOffice as my word program and I like it just fine. MS Office for Mac sure is pretty, but I prefer to put my money where my mouth is and go with the open source program.

It's so easy to hate Microsoft, and hard not to like Google. But let's not forget that G is just another big brother in the making! It seems to have tentacles reaching everywhere these days.
Googles answer to MS recently has been to build their app's on the web and give them away. But can any one tell me why I should use a word processor on the net when Open Office is free as well?
