MacDoug: Symantec admits Zero viruses for Mac OSX
http://www.macdoug.com/2006/07/symantec-admits-zero-viruses-for-mac.html
Apple, Macintosh, and an occasional dash of Doug. Friday, July 14, 2006. Symantec admits Zero viruses for Mac OSX. I'm tired of the masses flogging every "announcement" about OS X vulnerabilities. It's as if people want it to be dragged down, alongside Windows, into the bog of insecurity. Shouldn't we be rooting for an OS that substantially reduces worries like that? Shouldn't we be demanding that XP behave more like OS X, and not the other way around? Friday, July 14, 2006 7:25:00 PM. Surely the current...

MacDoug: Functioning Form - SxSW: OSX and Longhorn Development
http://www.macdoug.com/2006/07/functioning-form-sxsw-osx-and-longhorn.html
Apple, Macintosh, and an occasional dash of Doug. Saturday, July 08, 2006. Functioning Form - SxSW: OSX and Longhorn Development. The most interesting notes out of this panel discussion about OS X vs. Longhorn design were:. MS was really sidetracked by the security issues for about two years, putting OS development on the back burner. I wonder how much of a leg up this gave Apple in terms of development years. OS X was developed in such secrecy that there was no user testing. View my complete profile.

Lumpenlogocracy: March 2005
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Thursday, March 31, 2005. As a good entry into the conversation. Finally, if you're feeling more Gloomish than Doomish, it's still worth considering what a 'soft landing' might look like. (It sounds kind of nice, doesn't it? How about looking back to a somewhat analogous soft landing, when the US began to come down from the high deficits and real estate boom of the Reagan years? The other is at Macroblog.

A Forum of Culture and Politics. Friday, April 29, 2005. I've been doing some reading of books relating to 9/11, which I can now review briefly for readers of our blog.

A Forum of Culture and Politics. Saturday, April 09, 2011. In the comments to this NY Times The Caucus. Blog post about the wonderful budget compromise, FF writes:. Wait - I thought compromise meant that each sides gets some of what. They want. So Republicans get nearly $40 billion in spending cuts and. Democrats got. single payer health care? Tax hikes on the rich? Oh yeah, that's right, they got. Nothing, except limiting the scope of the catastrophe. God I'd love to. That seems about right to me.

Lumpenlogocracy: September 2004

A Forum of Culture and Politics. Thursday, September 02, 2004. Ask not what you can do for your country. Even though I had already decided I wasn’t voting for him in November, I watched Dick Cheney address his acolytes last night. Having only read his comments in print before, I was curious to see our vice president speak. But I also wanted to see some of the delegates because at this point, I'm genuinely baffled: what can they be thinking? And "Four more years! I can understand exuberance in response to...

Lumpenlogocracy: March 2003
http://lumpenlogocracy.blogspot.com/2003_03_01_archive.html
A Forum of Culture and Politics. Wednesday, March 12, 2003. Why does the Commander in Chief need a lawyer? But the way he described his work had little to do with laws and a lot more to do with limiting the number of incidents that need to be explained to the American people. Is there any reason Mr. Bush can’t continue to dismiss his critics with the same insouciance after we’ve slaughtered Iraqi civilians? Posted by Ambivalent Maybe at 1:10 AM. Perhaps We Should Ban Marriage Between Christians . The Buf...
