June 7, 2005 by Michael Boyle

I forgot to post about it the other day,

but Tom Coates continues to do some of the heavy thinking required to consider some of the recent innovations in new-ish webstuff. This time it’s about tagging: Two cultures of fauxonomies collide. What’s refreshing about Coates’ writing is that while it’s not academic in nature (much more accessible and not nearly as onanistic as much of the academic work in the domain), neither is it obsessed with the commercial side of things – his posts aren’t about the next business model or monetizing X or Y.

The most interesting part

The most interesting part

of today’s announcements from Apple at the WWDC is buried in most stories. In the News.com story linked above it doesn’t come out until the end of the second page. To wit, Phil Schiller has said that there won’t be anything done to prevent someone from running Windows on an Intel-Apple box. At the same time, Apple’s still a hardware company, so you can be sure that Tiger/Leopard will only work on Apple boxes. What that means, potentially, is that if you buy an Apple machine you can run whatever you want – Linux, OS X, or Windows – whereas if you buy a random-PC-manufacturer’s box you’d be restricted to Windows and/or Linux. Sounds like a pretty good strategy to me.

As if things weren’t confusing enough

As if things weren’t confusing enough

in the Canadian Parliament, now it seems that backbench Liberal MP Pat O’Brien has left the Liberal Party over the same-sex marriage issue. It seems that he’s upset over the apparent fast-track that Bill C-38 is getting. Amazing stuff.

As you should have come to expect

As you should have come to expect

by now if you follow the World of Macintosh, John Gruber has the best coverage of the Apple-Intel stories/rumours. I like his final analysis: “Here’s my bet: Intel is going to produce PowerPC chips for Apple. But I’m only betting one dollar.” Sounds about right to me.
