Weekend Reading — Technology

Posted on June 9, 2001 by Dan Gillmor

  • Brock Meeks (MSNBC): Why New Apps are Killing Me. The point is, the software-buying public gets ripped off on a routine basis by software companies driven by one thing: greed. And don’t even try to hand me the line that software companies are “customer-oriented.”
  • Ed Foster (Infoworld): Apple Padlocks UI Door. Why on earth would Apple harass a small group of developers whose only sin seems to be the desire to make a contribution to the computing platform they love? The only explanation seems to be that, far from being afraid that theme developers will copy elements of the Mac user interface, somebody at Apple fears that the developers will create a better UI than Aqua.
  • CNET: Mac OS X versus Windows 2000 in the heavyweight round. Color us shocked, but our panel of seven judges delivered a solid victory to the revolutionary Mac OS.
