★ Oh look, the "Save" icon is still a floppy disk, although it doesn't exist since ten years!

I wonder, why not even replace the enveloppe icon by a homing pigeon carrying a parchment? No, seriously.

★ "Campus Notes is a central repository you can use to take, store and organise your class stuff. Use it for assignments, lecture notes, slides, exam revision, assignment files, marking criteria, anything! Format using the efficiency of Markdown. Sort into semesters, classes and folders. Share anything you write with classmates."

$5 a month seems allright. Plus, the UI is just brilliant.

★ "Ever since the web hit the mainstream sometime in the 90s, people have asked of each new conversational publishing technology — newsgroups, message boards, online journals, weblogs, social networking sites, and now Twitter — the same question: "but why would anyone want to hear about what some random person is eating for breakfast?" The answer applies equally well for both offline conversation and online "social media": almost no one…except for their family and friends."

★ "By omitting the bullshit figures, his Mac premium shrinks from $3367 to $508. And if he’s making a supposedly comprehensive 5-year TCO report, I challenge him to include resale value at the end: What are two 5-year-old Macs worth? How about those PCs?

In addition to the heavily flawed figures, the writing is amateurish and inflammatory. Microsoft’s willingness to sponsor, publish, and promote this report speaks volumes about their integrity and dignity."

I'll just add that you can't price the benefit of Mac OS over Windows.

★ A very good analysis of Skyblog culture, if you can read French.

"Ce qui m’amène à ma théorie finale : critiquer automatiquement les Skyblogs, c’est avouer aussi sûrement qu’on devient un vieux con. Meuh oui. Parce que vous, qui rigolez sur ces blogs, rappelez-vous donc de votre belle jeunesse : mais qui passait donc ses récrés (et ses fonds de classe) à faire remplir son cahier de texte / agenda par des “dédicace à Lâm, t’es trop mon meilleur pote de la 5e B” et autres “Un petit mot de Vaness’ je sais pas quoi écrire à part qu’on se connaît pas encore trop mais que je t’adooooooore” ?
Voilà. On faisait comme eux mais en 1993, on était juste trop pouilleux pour avoir le net. Et donc des blogs."

★ "Our goal is to build a profitable, independent company and we're just getting started."

Once again, TechCrunch are full of shit.
