The Apocalyptic Future of Computing, according to a rube and a girl
We (I) continue to be amazed at the dissatisfaction which PC users are expressing about Windows Vista — and that is not a value judgment on users but Microsoft, which at one time was leaving Mac far behind in the dust. Enter iTunes and widgets and offering an easier system to protect and manage over Windows with all of its hotfixes and service packs … and therein lies the the turnaround in perceptions and computer preferences. Today marks the day that no more PCs will be shipped with XP, from now on it is Vista all the way, and we’re really shocked, given public sentiment, that Microsoft is going through with this. Info Today recently collected more than 212,000 signatures on a petition sent to Microsoft to please not give up on XP.
They accommodated us for a while, after Vista repeatedly showed bugs and signs which are incredibly embarrassing, not to mention, suicidal, for Microsoft. Sure it’s hard to write such a whopping program, but it’s not like they can’t afford the best in the biz, and how long has Windows been cranking along, while Macs foundered in a weak bid to regain some of the market share? The Mac operating systems OSX and Leopard run as smooth as glass compared to Windows products, which require people — at least me — to spend as much time cleaning the crap off one’s computers, presumably, as they do actually getting anything done online.
Is Windows finished? And is that going to make globalists happy or sad, or do they care? They have to care, one would think, with commercialism and worldwide capitalism at stake, they have to be worried. But we could be overlooking a strategy. FDR said that if something happens … it was planned, it was meant to happen. We won’t disagree with that, though we don’t believe mankind or evil has ultimate control over anything God doesn’t give us control over. It only seems like we’re in control, which will cost some of us. Perhaps many. Strategies? What if Steve Jobs sold his soul to the devil for success? What if Windows products and Microsoft itself were always meant to run its course … and then hand the ball over to Apple, which is so much more apocalyptic.
Why? Because, for starters, right there on your Mac keyboard, if you have one, is the apple, with one bite out, and a design, an icon which represents a Norse symbol of a serpent, which appears on Scandinavian signs to mark points of interest that you must see.
Some research into the curly cue or Bowen’s knot or St. John’s Arms (?) which appears on the command key on Apple keyboards turned up some very interesting data, which we will discuss next time.
