Okay, when Paul Murphy, (not even a 'person') is calling people out for writing bullshit about Apple, better get your lightning-proof shoes on.
Why do I say this?
Because Paul Murphy, (whomever the fuck he is), is just as guilty about writing bullshit and myths. I've called him out on it before. More than once.
Some famous Paul Murphy quotes:
Similarly, none of them mentioned ZFS or its relationship to “Time-machine”
But if you ignore the partisan reviewers and ask what the real bottom line on “Leopard” is, the answer turns out to be the iPhone - because the current Mactels are this generation’s Apple IIIs.Or his article comparing Mac OS X 10.5 to Linux when, in his own words:
Please note that I have not had a chance to see and use the new MacOS X “Leopard” server release. Comments specific to Leopard Server here are, therefore, based on third party reports.Fucking priceless. Along with this stupidity:
In other words, Apple’s ease of use advantage over Linux depends ultimately on an impersonal sales and deployment model: if joe average small business guy gets his Intel server delivered by FedEx and then has to set it up himself, Apple’s software can really help - but if Jane’s Computers hands it over it all nicely set-up and running, then it will take long term customer behavioral change before the customer sees any benefit from Apple’s systems management software.Then there's this one, truly an Enderle moment:
That difference comes down to this: the Linux focus is on replacing other technologies, and particularly those from Microsoft, where Apple’s focus is on using its server software to make it easier for MacOS X desktop users to co-exist in Wintel dominated environments.And:
Thus Apple’s latest server technologies are all aimed at helping desktop users work in Wintel environments but no such co-existence strategy exists on the Linux side - indeed the general Linux approach to the data center is closer to that of science fiction’s homogenizing swarm than that of the symbiote.Along with:
Unfortunately Apple’s co-existence strategy leads to a major problem in that it makes Apple a follower - forced to play catch up whenever Microsoft changes its technologies. In other words, companies which try to take advantage of Apple’s strategy will eventually find themselves trying to hold off both their internal wintel enthusiasts and Microsoft’s stealth upgrades while waiting for Apple - and because that won’t work they’ll suffer the usual consequences in terms of organizational disruption and mutual finger pointing.Yet, now "Paul" is talking about how wrong the bullshit that other people write about Apple is. OWW! Just thinking about it makes my brain cramp. I wonder if he thinks no one will notice the stupidity he wrote before...wait, of course he does, he writes for ZDvorakNet.
Remember folks: If it's ZDvorakNet, it's got to be crap!
