d5 jobs & gates history

Ok uber geek alert!!! This interview is one of the rare appearances that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have made together over the years and occurred at this years D5 conference (think G8 but digital). These two, surprisingly charismatic, figures chat comfortably together. But what is really special is to discover some genuine history and how it all began in the computing world. Hi I'm a Mac and I'm a PC :)

Today's mood

Yesterday at work was one of those 'nothing works' days. It is sad but true that even with the best mac/pc set-up sometimes things do go wrong. Ok so this was one day where the app I am creating had lots of bugs that seemed unfixable which was incredibly frustrating. But sometimes the best thing you can do is just walk away from it all and come to it fresh another day. I saw this video and it made me laugh. There is so much mac/pc rivalry these days but I do feel pretty much beyond all that now. I don't really care if people decide to buy a cheap pc and struggle with all the malware and viruses. I don't buy into the form over function thing that mac spouts. I just want a machine that is reliable and fast. And I do have that in my G5 set up at work. But really it is time for an upgrade (I've put my request in for a top of the line Mac Pro so here's hoping).
