Why does Mac suck?: Why switch?
"The 10 reasons that Apple must think is imperative for making the change from a PC to a MAC can be found on their website. Of course if you have the time to read through all of them you realise that these 10 features or reasons have been standard with the PC a long, long, long time. Some of the reasons are just plain myths that Apple invented. Probably because they ran out of fabricated facts.
1. The Mac... It just works
The mac owner will also tell you that with a system from Apple you will never have to think about drivers, upgrades or anything. A mac is perfection itself when delivered. Atleast according to their standard. Many mac:s can't even be upgraded. So what you buy is what you get. Expect your system to be outdated within 1-2 years...
It took an operating system based on someone else's technology to get a Mac multitasking and not behaving like an oversized pocket calculator from 1985.
2. It doesn't crash
Yes it does! And it does it alot. The difference between a pc based on Windows crashing and a Mac is that on the pc the crash is in 99% of the cases caused by badly coded third party software, when the Mac just has a faulty operating system. Why else would Apple themselves run their india website on Linux RedHat?
10. It's beautiful
Who wants a computer that look like a remnant from the 70's like the one on my right. You could probably achieve the same state of hallucination if staring long enough on this iMac, that you could by inhaling large amounts of heavy drugs."

Malaysia plans 'crooked' bridge
"Malaysia says it will go ahead with controversial plans to build a crooked bridge across half the strait it shares with Singapore... The Malaysians are calling it the "scenic bridge", but say if the Singaporeans want it to be straight and less scenic they will have to come back to the table and agree to replace the whole causeway with a single span.
One Malaysian politician told the Star newspaper that the shape of the bridge would be a reflection of relations between the two countries.
Singaporean sources told the BBC that this statement implies the Singaporeans are straight while the Malaysians are crooked."
Wth?!
Maybe their sources studied at the PLU school of Public Relations. Alternatively, they could be playing the parlor game again.
