    #When Geeks Get Religion

    Via Tao of Mac

    • Windows vs. Mac (the obvious one…)
    • Debian vs. everything else
    • Perl vs. PHP (vs. Python?)
    • bash$ vs. tcsh%
    • Developing for Mozilla vs. Developing for “the unmentionable majority”

    Instructions: List five similar (geek) issues you come across every other day, and add these instructions plus:

    1. A link back to the original post
    2. A link to anywhere else you picked up the meme.

    #Tiger Titillation.

    Could the flurry of buzz re: Tiger-related features be a sign that we’re to expect it sooner rather than later?

    Mark your calendars?

    UPDATE: TUAW speculation (via ThinkSecret that we’re looking at an April ship date… Whether/not they get sued again within the week will be the yardstick by which I measure this rumor’s credibility.

    #Soviet Prohibition?

    Another one to file under “Soviet/Cold War Obession”: The Museum of Anti-Alcohol Posters. (Again, via Boing Boing.)


    #the F-word!

    FRAUD!

    My new credit card is on the way. Since apparently someone had their way with my last 16-digit mash-up. Some weird charges from Handango showed up on my January statement that I’ve been wrestling with ever since. And then today the bank calls to check in because an “internet transaction” on my card was rejected by “the Pluto Corporation”. In a way, I was relieved b/c it adds credibility to my earlier case re: Handango. And after looking over my online records, it doesn’t look like anything else has slipped through. So that’s good. Given the circumstances.

    Now, out of morbid curiosity, I had to see if there was anything out there for “the Pluto Coporation” on the web. But now I’m just more puzzled than ever. Maybe even slightly disturbed.
