• Of course!
  See, it's not their fault that this particular exploit allows the file to
  "[attempt] to execute eight different exploits targeting Microsoft
  applications." In reply to: "Microsoft denies fault in hacks"

• Dedicated Mac user...
  ...and not apologetic. Of course Apple needs to fix this, and fast.
  But I'd still use Mac over any version of Windows. In reply to: "Apple Safari vulnerable to multiple attacks"

• On Macs, print the document (web page, etc.) and select an option ("Open PDF in Preview", "Save as PDF...") from the "PDF" drop-down in the "Print" window. Built-in and easy! In reply to: "Convert any Office file to PDF for free"

• iPhone & Panther...
  ...don't mix. When docked, iPhoto launches and lets you
  download the pix on the iPhone, but that's it. iTunes doesn't see
  it even after updating. I spent the morning after debating what
  to do; a guy at Guitar World offered to let me activate it using
  the in-store Mac if he could try it out afterwards (I decided
  against this kind offer only because I didn't want to submit my
  iTunes account data on a public box). I finally got it activated
  using a friend's G4 PowerBook.

• Re: ...AND NOT JUST THE HARDWARE PRICE
  I call FUD...you won't need new printers...or servers for that
  matter. Hook a Mac up to a Windows network and the network
  will see it as another Windows box. Macs tend to last twice as
  long as PCs, so unless you're in a mandatory three-year
  government upgrade cycle the price issue flies out the window.
  Plus I don't like being called an idiot. I'm not the brightest guy
  around, but I know enough to know that I'm not smart enough
  to run Windows safely or securely.

• Why the government doesn't use Macs
  First of all, the NSA has published guidelines to using OSX in
  government systems (http://www.nsa.gov/snac/
  downloads_macX.cfm?MenuID=scg10.3.1.1), so it's hardly
  banned. And ServedUp makes valid points (what's the old
  saying? "Nobody ever got fired for buying Windows"). Although
  I'm an Apple user and would love to see them expand, I see
  some distro of Linux actually making inroads into government
  over the next five to ten years.

• Dell has opened their own stores...
  ...two of them, in fact. They're both located in malls which also
  have Apple stores. One is in Texas. I forgot where the other one
  is.
  
  The problem is the model: you can't walk out of the Dell store
  with a computer. It's actually more of a showroom.
