Our family

So, anyone who reads this knows my take on Sony; I don’t like them anymore. It started with the whole ‘rootkit’ shenanigan: http://garlockfamily.com/?p=202

Now, Sony is up to it again, this time they are at the other end of the copy protection routine; the pirates! Apparently Sony was busted for having unlicensed software on their computers, in some estimates up to 47% of their servers have pirated software! Ars has much more information on this latest “republican’esqe” move: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080331-sony-bmgs-hypocrisy-company-busted-for-using-warez.html

My take is still the same as before: BOYCOTT SONY!

Apple does a real nice job with documentation; they always have, dating back to my Apple //e days. I always enjoyed the attention to detail they put into their manuals. While I still prefer books to electronic documentation (and always will), these video tutorials are also very nice.

Personally, I will also prefer something I can hold in my hand, and flip through, versus a PDF or other electronic documentation. Apple’s online documentation is done very well, and I highly recommend having a look at it, as an adjunct to their “analog” documentation.
