I am currently downloading the entire 280mb collection of just about everything Jonathan Coulton has ever done.
People Don’t Want to Relearn an OS
An interesting article about a guy who switched to MAC and is now switching back. Of course the MAC community is all over this picking on everything from his factual inaccuracies to his grammar.
Sure he was wrong about a lot of stuff he could not get his MAC to do but it's not really the point. The is, and will always be, that he knew how to use a PC and now he's back to square one with a MAC.
MACs are "easier" but MAC users forget how much easier it is to stick with windows which people already know. I mean there is better health care in Scandinavia but I don't see every one moving there. You'd have to learn a new language, new laws, a new town, get new friends.
Windows will be around for a long time simply because people know how to use it and very few people want to start over and relearn a new operating system.
Awesome interview (audio) with and John Coultron and John Hodgman. I really can’t get enough of these two.

Mashable is complaining about people promoting themselves on youtube instead of just focusing on awesome videos
Mashable is complaining about people promoting themselves on youtube instead of just focusing on awesome videos. They seem to forget that myspace is a giant advertisement with a giant signal to noise ratio and people still love it.
Guy Kawasaki interviews a bunch of young people about technology habits
Guy Kawasaki interviews a bunch of young people about technology habits. I felt really young watching this as all the answers seemed fairly obvious. I'm always surprised at how misinterpreted some of the answers get. P.S. The Veotag video player is really cool.
