There was also a notice about this movie posted on DIGG where the responses immediately […]

One of the few realistic concerns that geeks had when Apple switched their chips to Intel was the presence of “Trusted Computing” features on the latter’s devices.

Today at Digg I found a link to Pixelspread where a recovering Window Borg lists the Mac apps that have made his life and his switch worthwhile.

Apple.com is one of the oldest URLs on the web, their first website appearing in 1996.
Through the magic of the web.archive time machine, here is that first website in all it’s glory. As you could expect there are a few broken links, but it’s still fun to wander down memory lane and see what Steve […]
