Lastly, the story on Windows being able to be run on Macs was featured on BoingBoing and I loved the quote they used:

“One reader, a former Starbucks barista, poked fun at the idea of booting Windows anywhere you don’t have to: “We have this shorthand term we use when a customer wants a nonfat decaf latte — we call the drink a ‘why bother.’ This is kinda like one of those.”"

Which is exactly what some coworkers and I were talking about yesterday. Also included in this category is:

  • Hybrid SUVs
  • Super-sized Diet Cokes
  • … ?

According to one of my coworkers the point isn’t to use less gas or consume less calories. It’s all about “feeling less guilty.”
