I’m one of those hybrid computer users. I use a Windows laptop at work, I have a Mac mini on the desk as well. At home, I have a new iMac Intel machine in my living room, a Windows machine in my bedroom, my daughter has a Mac mini, my son has a Windows machine in his room, and my wife uses a Windows laptop. More and more though, I’m using the Mac, not because I’ve been drinking any kool aide, but because it’s new, it’s different, and I’ve used Windows machines since ‘94. There’s a lot of things to like about the new iMac, but I do ‘work’ on my Windows machines.
But enough about that…
I got a kick out of this today. If you’ve ever watched a keynote speech by Apple founder Steve Jobs, you’ll appreciate the fun in Keynote4 – the Steve Jobs Soundboard. It’s a flash driven site that lets you click on memorable phrases uttered by Jobs through the years and create your own keynote speech.
Ironically, Apple’s web browser (Safari) won’t run Flash correctly if you’re using a new iMac Intel machine. Apple blames Macromedia (Adobe) for not building a ‘Universal’ version of the Flash software. You can easily bypass this by running Firefox.
