“You’ll wonder why you ever used anything else”
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
I just stumbled on an old post by Marco Arment:
We don’t use Macs and Mac software because of the eye candy. We use them because of the design. Design and eye candy are very different—design is a combination of how it looks, what it does (and doesn’t do), and how it works.
Use a Mac for 6 months, and you’ll wonder why you ever used anything else.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
I know where they can go

Found in a job posting:
Santa Clara University does not sponsor any visa applications for this position. The successful candidate must be able to provide evidence of identity and legal authorization to work in the United States.
I’d like to apply only to tell them where they can go.
A great read on e-books and web standards

Joe Clark on A List Apart:
It may be unseemly to dance on graves, but HTML wins again.
And also:
Bet against HTML for online distribution and you’ve backed the wrong horse.
I read this on the day I was told my book will have an electronic version. I hope my publisher is betting on the winning horse.
