Although there’s a remarkable lack of iPhone hype around the office, we being a big-time Linux company and all, there’s an amazing amount of Mac fanboiism. Pretty much all of us have Macs at home. The explanation for this is simple: After dealing with Linux problems all day long, there’s something nice about going home to something you can spend all your time using and not making up excuses for why it looks like shit and doesn’t work.
I like Linux, mind you. I use it day-in, day-out for my desktop at work, for my webservers, and it brings in my daily bread. We all love it here, pretty much like a family loves and therefore tolerates the embarrassing second cousin with the Downs’. But people are walking all over the office today buzzing about the upcoming announcement from Apple.
Will it be the long-awaited iMac redesign? Will it be a new Mini? My boss is actually carrying his phone to the pub after work today so he can sit on engadget and get a realtime update. Linus would not be pleased...
