You hack the Epilepsy Foundation website and post hundreds of pictures and links to pages of rapidly flashing lights to trigger seizures. So congrats to those sadistic punks who caused seizure reactions and severe migraines for visitors. I didn’t even think 12 yr old hackers knew what seizures were much less how they are triggered, so part of me is impressed that they even thought of the idea. The other part of me wants their moms to beat them senseless with their keyboards, sell their World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero, take a picture of them sleeping in their transformer bed sheets with their Elmo Emo doll and post it on their myspace profile. Punk kids.

Finally something me and Jim can agree on. This is an awesome video of Jim Cramer explaining why Mac sales are surging. He says that Dells, HPs “are not computers. They are devices parents use…A mac is a computer” and goes on to say that “Apple has made them all irrelevant” referring to HP, Dell and other PC makers.

I agree there’s been a huge shift in how people view Apple. Most people understand they are the standard to live up to, that they make amazing devices and software. I think the last hurdle for Apple to make in the consumer psyche is value. Many people still think Apple computers are a lot more expensive than a PC. I’ve had to explain to so many that once you factor in software costs to match OSX default package, maintenance, time lost reinstalling windows etc…macs are cheaper. This is what they call in the industry “Total Cost of Ownership”. TCO for a mac is lower than a PC and that needs to be sung to the mountains. Once that perception is cleared, sky is the limit for Apple.
