Comment Documentation and Wiki (Score 2) 260

Firstly, (and most importantly) read the documentation: http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html

Secondly, you can set up a wiki server pretty easily. It is extremely useful for self-help and internal process documentation. Easy to add videos, screenshots and keep the documentation up to date.

Thirdly, if you don't have an office collaboration server, you can also run your own Jabber server.

Both Wiki and Jabber services have their own documentation at the aforementioned link.

Android development doesn't require you to buy hardware?

Awesome, do they recommend you use punch cards, or do you compile your code in the public library?

Purchasing a used Mac mini for $500 to get access to world's largest mobile app store really is an unsurmountable barrier, that only the mightiest of giants can overcome.

They are either realizing that either:
1. they are becoming increasingly irrelevant on the desktop as people are using mobile devices more and more for their needs (iPad/Android for email and facebook)(and Apple computer sales have been growing handsomely), and therefore need to compete for customers for the first time in 20 years, or
2. it is a good opportunity for them to pull the old Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Only time will tell.
Now, off to RTFA.

Why is it always assumed that people who spend $2500 on a computer have an unlimited amount of money?

We hear far too often, "If they have money for a hummer, they have enough for gas" too.

Maybe they got a $3000 check for tuition and they blew it on a computer, and otherwise don't have a dime to their name.

Sure, a small minority of people have an unlimited supply of $$, but I wouldn't be surprised if vast majority took out some line of credit to buy a $2500 "multimedia" PC for their college kid, simply because a highschooler from BestBuy told them that that computer will totally help them with photos, and movies, and homework...
