  • “I want to emphasize that light comes in this form- particles. It is very important to know that light behaves like particles, especially for those of you who have gone school, where you were probably told something about light behaving waves. I’m telling you the way it does behave- like particles.”

    Richard Feynman, “QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter”, pg 15









  • Apple has always been defined as the boastful, narcissistic OS. It was Steve Jobs MO to be boastful that has carried on long after he’s been gone.

    Linux could be called “free but no sense of freedom” (the time involved to make it work the way you want) “many versions” is definitely Linux compared to all other OSs.

    installing applications by finding files on an Internet scavenger hunt, no built-in, centralized updating of applications,

    Windows has the Windows store for finding and centralizing updates. Just like installing linux apps that aren’t in a package manager is a scavenger hunt without centrailized updates.

    I’m glad Windows store isn’t popular. I’d rather not have MS in control of my apps.

    having to restart your PC for your OS to update

    Consumer facing distros like Ubuntu want you to reboot after OS/Window manager updates. It’s simply easier and more reliable than expecting the user to know all the dependencies of their programs.

    The uninstallable bloatware has become a huge hassle for me. But consumers have become used to their iPhones with the preinstalled bloatware and apple iDrive ads built into the OS constantly nagging. So of course Microsoft copied Apple.
