Fake Steve Jobs

I don’t normally mix business and pleasure (well, that’s a lie), but today I saw a link on Dare’s blog that led me to a new post on Mini’s blog that led me to a new Fake Steve Jobs post I hadn’t seen.

It’s a good read for those with a scholarly interest in the ecomic dynamics of operating-system markets. (That last sentence is intended to keep Mom from reading it, of course.)
