Guest Post by Melinda Seckington
About two years ago, three of my friends all switched around the same time over to Mac. After that, whenever we were watching a movie or a TV show they would keep pointing out the Macs to me, much to my annoyance. I mean, I didn’t feel the need to point [...]

At the Microsoft Keynote in Louvain Steve Ballmer stood on stage…near a Macbook Pro. A revolutionary announcement, I know. I want everyone to stay calm. The universe isn’t going to implode, and - I promise - everything will be OK.
