Adam Weinroth classified a week of posts for three blogs: Scoble, Steve Rubel and Scripting News, with some not-too-surprising results. We're routers, DJs, front-page editors.

Today's funky dialog contains a new fake user. His name is Jimbob McCorporate, and he has to use a proxy server. Google has never heard of him, but has heard of his soul brother, Bull Mancuso. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
[画像:A picture named archosSmall.gif]On yesterday's Apple announcements. For users and most developers it's a non-event. It used to matter what the CPU was when developers optimized for specific architectures, but that generally doesn't happen anymore. Game developers do, and some graphics apps. But the vast majority of software is written at a very high level, in Flash, HTML, Javascript, Java, Basic, C, C++, anything but machine language. Also it might have made a difference when software was a face-paced business, when there was a huge difference between the apps available on one platform vs another. These days the most important thing about a platform is what apps don't run there, the viruses, spyware, etc. For that Mac OS has an advantage, for a while, but that has nothing to do with what its CPU is. The nasty bits are always written at a high level. So unless you're an employee or shareholder of Apple, IBM, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Microsoft, this is meaningless stuff. People who worry about an Osborne effect worry for naught. When the Intel CPUs ship the Mac will perform better, but they were going to ship machines that perform better no matter what. For the vast majority, yesterday's event was Apple theater, nothing more. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
