The following is my bloglike complaint about this article: Mac had a valid argument for being superior before Windows XP. As much as I hate to admit it, XP works. I count the number of times I crash by year.
Anyway.
Ng seems to consider this cultural shift a problem. I think one could argue he's being a snob. Mac users have always seemed to need to be different in order to establish their identity to me. Ipod means living in a world of music, and that's a good thing.
I've also been stunned by the increased number of Ipod users, but see the shift as remarkably positive. You can ignore the music industry all together and live in your own world.
The whole Mac/PC war seems very pre-millennial.
