Came across this on YouTube. This used to be one of my favourite Arcade Machines when I was a kid. All due to the fantastic animation no doubt. Thanks to some guy out there I am now able to see how the whole thing played through from start to finish.

The Mac in the Gray Flannel Suit

Business week have an interesting article about Apple might actually begin to make som inroads in the business-market:

Soon after Michele Goins became chief information officer at Juniper Networks (JNPR) in February, she decided to respond to the growing chorus of Mac lovers among the networking company's 6,100 employees. For years, many had used Apple's (AAPL) computers at home and clamored for them in the office as well. So she launched a test, letting 600 Juniper staffers use Macs instead of the standard-issue PCs that run Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows operating system. As long as the extra support costs aren't too high, she plans to open the floodgates. "If we opened it up today, I think 25% of our employees would choose Macs," she says.

How Microsoft has become the Beleaguered Apple ‘96

Don't know if this is just wishfull thinking from a fellow machead. But it's an interesting read nevertheless:

Daniel Eran Dilger
Windows Enthusiasts have been working hard to advance the idea that Apple has become the new Microsoft, supposedly by monopolizing the market for music sales and MP3 players and in creating new bodies of technology in its own image to discover territories outside of Microsoft’s reach. However, they’re missing something far more interesting: Microsoft is reverting to become the beleaguered old Apple of the mid 90s. Here’s how.

The Golden Age of Apple.
Throughout the early 90s, Apple appeared to be doing very well. Some even describe the period as the company’s Golden Age. Apple had joined forces with IBM to announce a new microprocessor architecture in Power PC, a new multimedia joint project called Kalieda Labs, and an advanced new operating system and development frameworks architecture known as Taligent.
Apple was selling 11% of the world’s computers and was releasing new technology well in advance of other competitors. QuickTime wowed audiences, and the Mac’s multimedia capabilities and intuitive user interface were so far ahead of DOS or Windows PCs that it was simply embarrassing to compare them.

Another Blog

What?! Another blog?! Well, unlike tBenjaminLarsen.com this one won't be used for larger blog posts, personal projects or anything particularly interesting.

Rather, it will be used for linking stuff I find interesting. Film clips, other blogs, news stories etc. that either don't fit my other blog or that I don't have time to blog about more extensively.
