Cut to the core

I'm not going to be buying one of these, but this another nod to all those Apple-heads who think they're so cutting edge. Competitive advantage is about establishing a product or service that's in demand and difficult to imitate. This is quite hard to achieve when a competitor beats you to it.

While not necessarily tackling the fundamental debates around OS -- security, user interface, mime type definition, efficiency -- this article does address the most important question about using a Mac.

Normally I link to the print version of these articles, so that they render more easily on small-screen devices. But this time I thought the comments were quite funny, including the author's own, so be sure to follow the article to the end.
