Apple CEO quits So I lose my account for a week and Apple loses its head? Don't we all just wish that meant that the Apple marketing team stopped playing footsy and started attacking Microsoft in an attempt to sell the Mac? But no, Apple has to lose its Chief Executive Officer.
Without access to the internet I was reduced to newspapers to gauge the reaction of this news. Funnily enough the most Microsoft-centric computer news source I know (The Sydney Morning Herald's Tuesday IT section) put this on the front page of their section about a week later and it was only moderately bad press. This is from the same section that wrote up the decision of Power Computing to sell WinNT servers as the final nail in the coffin of the Mac, Apple and the non Windows NT world as a whole. Not to mention the fact that for a computer guide for IT (Information Technology) professionals, the complete and utter lack of any articles mentioning the Unix operating system since it started. (But then it only mentions Win95 as a prelude to the suggestion to upgrade to WinNT). These people actually let a prime opportunity to pummel the Mac to death pass them by? Oh well, maybe they'll catch the next opportunity.
Now that the power of publishing has let me hit out at a favored target (hell their series of anti-Mac articles has been getting under my skin for the last year) and sure in the knowledge that they won't cancel my subscription (I'd hate to go back to jogging down to the corner store on cold mornings to get the paper), here's some things we care about (or can do something with).
Info Time Those wonderful people at MacOS Rumors have set up a page of info on Rhapsody and another page of info on MacOS 8.1. (Gee, and MacOS 8 isn't even out yet!)
On the topic of MacOS Rumors, they have managed to gain access to the performance scores of an entry level G3 PowerPC chip. To give you an idea of how fast the G3 chip is, head over to MacUser and look through the CPU scorecards.
