"Assuming your reinstall isn’t an emergency from a hard drive failure, make sure you have plenty of time to devote to this task. As I often joke with a friend, do not anger or tempt the Data Gods. When’s a great time to do the reinstall? On a day you have the house to yourself, and nothing else to do."

"Expect to see Mac software prices dropping by 90-95% within a month. Traditional developers will fight to hold onto their price points, but they’ll be overrun by the Huns and The Flood. They may hold their price points, but they’ll be mired in so much noise from the iOS horde that their products will begin to lose traction."

"Apple has got little to lose. The App Store has been working well for the iPhone and iPad. Why not give it a shot on PCs? No matter how well—or poorly—it does, it's just more money in the bank for them."

"We regularly feature commercial software on AppStorm, so decided it was time to bring a roundup of completely free (and often open source) apps to your attention. If you’re on a budget, you’ll be pleased to know that a variety of great OS X software is available free."

"There are many applications that can help you work faster and efficiently. Though, not many applications come cheap. For this post we tried to digg deep to find the best selection of free and/or open source Mac applications that will help you be a more efficient designer. We’re covering from application launchers, GTD (Getting Things Done) to design utilities that can help you focus on what’s important: create."

"Meanwhile, Lucid Lynx is running nicely in a "virtual machine" on my MacBook Pro. I've been testing a variety of applications that could replace the Mac software I've come to rely on, though in some cases I can't easily find adequate replacements (such as the blog-posting software I'm using to create this post).

I'm planning to make this transition slow and systematic. And I'll be blogging periodically about the process. These postings won't be aimed at geeky folks, but rather at others like me who believe in true freedom of choice in a world where powerful institutions are trying to lure us -- or force us -- into their walled gardens."

"Valve Corporation has today rolled out their Steam Mac OS X client to the general public and confirmed something we have been reporting for two years: the Steam content delivery platform and Source Engine are coming to Linux. This news is coming days after we discovered proof in Steam's Mac OS X Client of Linux support and subsequently found more Linux references and even the unreleased Steam Linux client. The day has finally come and Linux gamers around the world have a reason to rejoice, as this is the biggest news for the Linux gaming community that sees very few tier-one titles."

"The most prominent operating system that has been using a single menu bar since its revelation in 1984 is Apple’s own Mac OS. While Ubuntu will be taking the same route for its next release, they will actually be going a bit further to integrate both the window title and controls into the menu bar."

"In fact, as a Mac user, you're uniquely positioned because an Intel Mac is the only computer in the world that can legally run all three major operating systems, Mac OS, Windows and Linux. Indeed, you can, if you like, load all three on the same computer and pick which one you want to load when you switch your Mac on."

"IBM said at Macworld that IBM's Lotus Connections social networking suite, Lotus Sametime instant messaging and Lotus Quickr team collaboration suite will be available for the iPhone, iPod Touch and computers running Apple's Mac operating system. IBM also made a vague commitment to build Lotus apps for the iPad. That IBM, which enjoys most of its success selling software for Microsoft Windows computers and even Linux machines, would increasingly support Apple platforms should no longer be a surprise. Businesses are acknowledging that employees are more comfortable using Macs instead of PCs because that is the machine they grew up using at home or in school."

"One of the great things about being a Mac user is the whole culture of indie apps. Like indie filmmakers and musicians, indie application developers are small businesses, working independently of big-company constraints. They follow their own vision building apps, and often create tools that easier to use, richer, and more beautiful than the products of big companies -- and they don't cost much either. They are among my favorite Mac apps."
