    I can't argue with one word of this.

    My suggestion is to go to town on user styles.

    "I changed my entire routine and all the apps I use for no reason and I hated it!"

    Come on. Use the applications you like -- there's no point in trying to use all Google stuff, or all New stuff. If it works for you, great, otherwise get something else that does.

    And if you want your computer programs to give you the warm fuzzies, get a dog instead.

    Great article. Love your research.

    1) Google colours suck therefore Google sucks
    2) Mac users like Google services, ergo they have no taste and suck also
    3) And by the way Google labels also suck, so there.

    No line of argument, no evidence, no logic, just plain highly opinionated verbal excrement. And people post this on the Web.

    I always thought that copy & past journalism is about as bad as it gets, but now we have the grumpy-old-fart-pukes-into-the-blog-journalism. Thanks you've just invented a new type of literature.

    excuse me - it's an opinion piece. It's not a research paper designed to win a frikken Nobel Prize. It's not an investigative post looking to win a Pulitzer Prize.

    It's an opinion - my opinion - nothing more - nothing less.

    You want well researched post go read some-one else. you want investigative posts you might want to go visit the Washington Post site.

    I think it's rather a sweeping statement about Mac users 'loving' these aps. Quite frankly I hate the whole idea of using online aps and data storage. Giving such a large degree of control over what you do to a handful of giant corporations is a disaster waiting to happen. The real irony here is that one of the reasons for Apple's existence is that Jobs and Wozniak didn't want only a handful of governments and corporations having a monopoly over computing power that was then rented out to Joe Public via a terminal, which is how the future of computing was widely perceived at the time. Cloud computing is in effect a return to that concept. I want to keep the aps I use on my hard-drive, under my control, without being subject to having to have a net connection, paying 'rent' for them (which will eventually happen), or being forced to upgrade software at the vendors discretion rather than mine.
