Apple perspective

As most who have ever followed the blog would know – I am very impressed with my recently acquired MacBook. From someone whose primary OS experience has been Windows of various stripes, HP-UX and Solaris – as a purely personal computer – the OS X seemed just so much better, so evolved.

So when Leopard came out this friday – I was seriously thinking about upgrading. Would have been my absolute first OS purchase – I even considered it because of my experience with Tiger – but then pulled back – because iLife ‘07 isnt included and frankly , as much as I like the new  features – notably Time Machine – it  didnt seem worth upgrading on a 4 month Operating System.

So anyhow, was browsing the web and came across this article. One of the most thoughtful and balanced Windows vs. Mac articles I have read. Minus the Apple Fanboy or Win Mob fanatical obsession.  Absolutely great read.

Disgusted..

Have not written here for a long time. Had to do partly because of demands on my time placed by multifarious and disparate things like client work, parents being here, durga pujo etc.

However, am writing a short note – because frankly I am disgusted with Indian politics – its politicians, its short term myopic views and everything else – that will, inspite of every conceivable metric – try to keep India mired in the “developing” morass.

Writing this in response to the fact that the 123 deal is apparently on hold. Disgusted.
