I have little to say on this, but I do want to point out that the claims of bloggers such as Sam Diaz in his summary of recent troubles at Apple are a tad overblown, as the always entertaining Macalope states far more eloquently than I ever could.It’s truly sad when people overstate their loss resulting from the workaround for this flaw. The temporary loss of the optional ability to change the “Home” button to a “Favourites” button is not going to make your life intolerable - it’s adding two taps to the process - get over it.If this is the reaction to relatively easily mitigated flaw, imagine the screams of anguish and sacrificing of kittens that is going to occur when the first true vulnerability in the iPhone’s software is exploited via malicious code.

According to electronista, Microsoft is bringing out Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld for a series of pro-Vista / Anti-Mac ads.Personally, I have trouble believing that bringing out these two is going to change the views of the young professional, college/university student, or casual home user who has invested in a Mac. Let’s face it - Seinfeld is not at the top of his popularity and Gates may be viewed as having something of a bias. At best, these new pro-Vista ads may lead those who are opting to remain at WindowsXP or even “upgrade” from Vista to XP, to give Vista another chance.
