Un objeto tan sencillo y de uso tan cotidiano como un boligrafo BIC es una prueba evidente de que los extraterrestres no solo nos visitan, sino que estan entre nosotros. Permitanme demostrarlo.

Pues resulta que estos días hay una cierto (enorme) cabreo entre los usuarios de Mac con los fallos de las pantallas de los ibooks. Se rumorea que puede ser debido a un fallo de diseño, pero de momento Apple parece dar la callada por respuesta y se limita a cambiar las placas base de los usuarios afectados.
Líneas horizontales que desdibujan la pantalla, fundidos a negro completos o puntos negros en ciertas zonas de la pantalla parecen ser los síntomas más habituales del problema, que a veces se soluciona (temporalmente) con sólo resetear y a veces no se soluciona.
Cómo consecuencia de esto, hay clientes (plural, no uno ni dos) que han necesitado hasta 4 cambios de placa en unos pocos meses. Suponiendo que no tengan que pagar por estas reparaciones (están cubiertas por Apple durante el período de garantía), el coste económico de no poder usar sus portátiles durante semanas es tremendo.
Hay un montón de ibooks ofertados en Ebay ahora mismo. ¿Tendrá algo que ver?
He is awesome.

“It’s been said that bringing a Macintosh into a corporate environment dominated by Windows-based PCs is not an easy task. Once you cut through the corporate red tape, then get through ignorant IT staff you still have to connect and gain access to all the services on the network. osViews editorial contributor Kevin Ledgister took on this challenge and passed the test with flying colors.”
For the last two years, I have had to use a Dell laptop at work running Windows 2000 in a mid size company with 300-400 employees. After suffering through several complete rebuilds, blue screens, as well as dealing with patches and security upgrades, I decided that enough is enough.
I ordered the brand new 12” PowerBook on my own and decided that this would be my daily computer to replace my Dell. Quite a few people were curious at this silver beauty compared to the generic charcoal laptops on their desks — and some even said that their next system will be a Mac too.
As I’ve come to learn however, integrating a Mac into an all PC world is not without its challenges.
IT Ignorance
The first challenge was dealing with an IT department that was completely ignorant of the Mac platform. Although they were helpful and curious about the Macintosh, they really couldn’t offer much help so I was on my own. At my place of employment, they use Active Directory and after doing a lot of reading on the subject, I realized that it was not going to be the easiest transition.
