..for being pennywise yet pound foolish--look out Britain, you are next. ;)

Now this sheds a new light on the term "math rock".

People tell me that they "pay more" for Apple because it has a "different" interface and isn't like Windows. In the real world, people believe everything that they read (in the news, not tech journals), their friends tell them, and see on television, unfortunately. When Mac OS was built on its own and used different CPU's, then I supported this decision. When Linux became stronger, more polished, and Apple switched to Intel and used pieces of Linux, I started to doubt their real value proposition. That said, If Apple can convince people to "pay more" to be "different" they why can't Ubuntu convince the whole world to convert to "different" "for free"? Unity, not being a "similar to windows" as some of the desktops were in the past, could be a positive thing. The more polished and the more "user-friendly" it becomes closes the gap between nerd users and real people.

There are actually websites that "spam" the referer [sic] since when using Google Analytics, usually one visits these websites to see where the link is/was.

I am a *search engine optimization* person and I'm NOT happy about it--this takes away about 90% of data used for SEO strategy.
