Best anti-Mac troll ever!
Does it get any better than this? Wow.
I’ve never understood the whole PC vs. Mac thing. I use both daily. Yes, I obviously prefer the Mac, but the PC has it’s place also. Hell, I develop software for the PC (admittedly, these days I do it on XP using Parallels)!
But anyway, after reading this over on Digg, I couldn’t help but share it with the world. 
Enjoy, and feel free to post your own favorite troll links in the comments.

John Gruber, over on Daring Fireball has a fascinating take on the Bill Gates quote in Newsweek:
Gates:I mean, it’s fascinating, maybe we shouldn’t have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done. Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine. So, yes, it took us longer, and they had what we were doing, user interface-wise.
He discusses both the implication that OS X is insecure, and also addresses the theory that Gates expounds regarding Microsoft having features that Apple copied, but implemented first because Microsoft was focusing on security.

It’s time for the BGM logo contest to begin! Below you will see the entries that we received for the contest. Some of them are pretty clever…you choose the winner though.
Whichever logo has the highest vote count at 12noon, EST on February 17th wins an iMac!
Note: Excuse the formatting…unfortunately the differing sizes caused the votes to be kind of misaligned. Make sure when voting that you are clicking the proper button beside your preferred logo.
1) You can only vote once…votes are logged by cookie and IP. Don’t try to cheat!
2) Feel free to comment on the entries…be cool, though, ok?
So pull out your Paula Abdul mask, dawg. It’s time to vote!

This is part one of an eternally ongoing series about a few of the many things that Apple (and the community behind it) could do to penetrate the modern workplace.
Over the past decade, Apple has enjoyed a breath-taking resurgence. From the release of the iMac to the iPod (maybe you’ve heard of it?), to the MacBook and iTMS, the popularity …
