Return of the Mac

Paul Graham, echoing Tim O’Reilly:

If you want to attract hackers to write software that will sell your hardware, you have to make it something that they themselves use. It’s not enough to make it “open.” It has to be open and good.

And open and good is what Macs are again, finally. The intervening years have created a situation that is, as far as I know, without precedent: Apple is popular at the low end and the high end, but not in the middle. My seventy year old mother has a Mac laptop. My friends with PhDs in computer science have Mac laptops. [2] And yet Apple’s overall market share is still small.

Michael, it would be extremely helpful if you could allow the links to show up in your rss feed.

It seems that in order to get WordPress to show the links, I have to tell it to include the full posts, rather than a summary. Do you know if this is different in newer versions of WordPress?

For now, I'll change it to show the full posts.
