Michael Dell Interested in Licensing Mac
OS 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Some interesting news from Fortune Magazine today, as they discussed the upcoming switch to Intel chipsets for Apple computers with Michael Dell – who, notably – said he’d be interested in licensing Apple’s Mac OS.

Up until this point, many computer corporations have been weary of offending Microsoft by offering alternative products – but lately, Dell has been paving the way in offering their customers choices. Most recently, they’ve offered bundling their server line with Linux, an operating system rivaled by Microsoft. Their strategy remains unchanged to this day – as shown by their openness to license Apple’s software.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in a recent e-mail to David Kirkpatrick, a staff writer for Fortune Magazine. It's the first time any PC industry executive has candidly revealed interest for selling computers with Apple's Mac OS.

However, don’t hold your breath for Apple flavored Dell’s – licensing of their OS won’t occur until Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, gives the okay. In recent press releases, Jobs remains uptight when it comes to licensing to other companies. For now, Apple plans to release Intel supported machines manufactured on its own in the upcoming years.

Video iPod? How Steve Jobs Can

Video iPod? How Steve Jobs Can
Not Take Back His Words 08/27/2004 02:03 PM
Why is Apple looking for an engineer to work on video integration for the iPod, even after what Steve Jobs has said? Here are some wild and crazy ideas...
1. Apple will pioneer a new eyeglass add-on, where video will be piped to just one of the two lens. Now, you can watch video while exercising.
2. The iPod will not only be able to record audio, but video too.
3. Daddy and mommy can listen to jazz in the frontseat of their BMW, while the kids can watch Barney in the backseat. From the same iPod.
Do you have any ideas beyond what Microsoft is doing with its portable video player?

Have you seen the new Apple iPod page? The new units are outrageously priced at $300 to $500 dollars. Worse yet, every iPod comes with all sorts of new limits! You can only marry one computer to your iPod, under one user. You can only fit 15Gb, 20Gb, and 40Gb of music on each. I have 54Gb of music that my entire family shares, and now there's no iPod that fits my use. You can't play Windows Media Player files. You can't play OGG files on it either. I'll wait until Steve Jobs changes the Apple homepage, but in the meantime I'm seriously considering moving to the Dell DJ.

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell

What Dell Support Thinks of Dell 03/30/2005 04:59 PM

In an InfoWorld Gripe Line Blog, anonymous Dell employees are asked to make their feelings known about working for Dell. As we all know, Dell moved their tech support to India and they have employees in other parts of the world now too. It sounds like the new users dumb questions and working with Windows constant crashing and errors have driven even the Indian support workers to the brink of giving up. Here are a few quotes from the above story..

Back about eighteen months ago, the comments started off pretty apologetic about the Dell support gripes readers were airing. A poster who said he or she had just resigned after six months with Dell support in Hyderabad said that Dell technicians would sometimes know right off that a problem required a replacement component, "but we are bound by company policy which prohibits us from dispatching components until we finish the script given us by Dell management," the poster wrote. "I basically felt really bad in situations wherein I had to make really old people open up their computers, and I did in fact meet people on the phone who would be in tears if we told them that they need to open their machines. 

"I too am working in Dell tech support," the poster said, saying his job had been to route calls to the proper support group. "The great thing is that tomorrow is my last day here. Great because this by far has been one of the least gratifying and frustrating positions I have ever held. Yes, there are extensive and considerable problems with Dell tech support. Their outsourcing to India is not even the least of them. Every day is a continuous assault by absolutely clueless and irate customers and an ineffective phone-based support system that is enough to make anyone crack. I'm saying that it all sucks: Dell's systems and their support and the morons who purchase them ... So many times I've had to restrain myself from telling customers who are whining about what a piece their Dell is that, hey, guess you should've bought a Mac. Goodbye, Dell!"
