Apple sells Macs based on their superior security. This is probably a fair point — Macs are generally more secure from the moment you switch them on.

I frequently see things that have been blown into the branches of trees. Usually plastic bags. I’ve always noticed them but never really thought much about them. Until now, that is.
I can’t actually believe I didn’t notice how that last couple of sentences was in complete contradiction to the next paragraph. Foolishness!

First we had HTML. Then XML came along and we got XHTML. Then no-one really adopted it. Then XHTML2 started to be written. Then everyone complained because the W3C stopped doing anything useful. Then a break away group formed, and HTML5 was announced. Then the W3C decided to make their own version of HTML5.
