Common myths about OSX.

I see a lot of people baselessly denigrating Macs as a whole, specifically OSX.

Diggdot.us Favorites

From http://www.diggdot.us:

"Why diggdot.us?
Digg, slashdot, and del.icio.us/popular - this is a constant browsing cycle for us. So why not combine them into a unified format without all the extra chrome? We can eliminate dupes and add some extra niceities. "

Why this blog? I don't read everything on diggdot.us, a lot of it is repeated and a lot of it is kind of boring and geeky. But, theres a lot of cool stuff, so, when I come across something I like, I will post it here!
