Yes, I gave in to temptation and bought it! Before buying it, I honestly thought that I’ll end up being disappointed and feel like I wasted my money. But after playing with it for the weekend and taking it to work today, I’m really liking this laptop, and I think it’s one of the best computers I’ve ever bought.

Sure, it’s a bit on the expensive side, but the experience is just so fantastic. Everything from the packaging and unboxing experience to the boot-up and everyday usage of an Apple is just so much more thought out when compared with Windows or Linux.

No crappy accessories, no cluttered icons and applications on the desktop, a great UI, and well-designed applications really do put OS X a step above the rest in terms of usability. And honestly, for what I do on the computer (both at work and at home), Windows and OS X provide essentially the same level of features. Just that OS X executes much better.

I know that designing great software is hard to do and I’m impressed that Apple has done such a good job compared to Microsoft. This is my personal opinion.

Yep. Why am I thinking of switching? Because WordPress it not so much a content management system as it is a blogging script, regardless of how much hacking you do. Don’t deny it. Textpattern is more about your content and less about how you want it to look. Basically, I feel it’s a great middle ground between the ultra-flexibility of Django and the super-rigidness of WordPress.

It’ll allow me to focus on design and content, and less on how exactly I can code my templates.
