Ramblings

For the approximately 2 people who care, I ended up getting the Dell over the Macbook. They shipped it with an unformatted SSD, which means I had to install my own OS. It's an amateur mistake that I highly doubt Apple would have made. And a handful of my Apple-using friends told me so. Repeatedly.

Fast forward a few weeks and I realize why I'm glad I'm not one of those "Apple guys" with the smug sense of superiority. I'm googling for some stuff and I stumble across this press release about LED backlit monitors. It's from April 2007. Down at the bottom is a smug Apple fanboy saying "Apple has been using the LED technology on a 24 inch wide screen for 8 months or more ... it is good to see that other companies are taking up Apples lead in this LED technology."

The press release was over 26 months old when that comment was made.
