Salon's resident Mac fanboy Farhad Manjoo presents what has to be the weakest argument I've ever seen for buying a Mac. They retain their value better than a PC. That's right… According to Manjoo, there's a better aftermarket on eBay for Mac's than PC's.
Buy a Mac. Even though you pay a hefty premium for it, there's always going to be another sucker waiting to take your expensive used Mac off your hands for a hefty premium as well.
Yeesh!

The drums continue to beat this morning for lower cost cellular service in Canada.
When the Globe and Mail writes that consumers in Canada are being raped by the mobile phone companies the story has finally gone mainstream. It's not too late for the carriers to pull this one out of the fire, however. Despite the waves of criticism, only a few early adopters like myself and Jim are making extensive use of WiFi on mobile devices. A price cut, and an iPhone launch (rumours at VON say it will be March of next year) would likely quell that criticism.
However, by keeping prices high Rogers (and by extension Bell and Telus) are inviting a CRTC-led review of their monopolistic pricing practices in response to mounting consumer criticism.
