Au Revoir Windows!
Before I left for school this morning, I caught something on Neowin.net. The french parliment, acting on a study conducted by a research firm has decided to switch from Windows XP to Linux in June of next year. Woot! Score one for the open source movement! I think the move is for the better as Linux is much more secure and can be customized to the needs of the individual organization or user. Whereas with Windows you have only a set amount of options that you can use for certain things. And there are only 2 editions, Home and Professional. With Linux there are litterally hundreds if not thousands of versions of Linux, each of them unique. It's like a person. You could attribute a Linux distro to a person because it one is unique in at least one way, much like every person on the earth. I know I'm getting a bit philosophical but eh, if it works.
Second and last thing: This was mentioned on TWiT today. It's a spec commerical for the iPhone. And unless they guy said it was a fake, you wouldn't know. For those of you who don't know this entire iPhone goes back quite a while to before the turn of the century when Steve Jobs came back to Apple. It's only gained this much attention due to the sucess of both the iPod and the Mac. Personally, I don't have any real interest in the iPhone, but it looks like a sleek device. Being Canadian, I personally like the Blackberry, but the iPhone does look appealing to me.This is assuming I have money for a Cell phone. I'll try and post later when I get back from play practice.
