Paul Thurrott, Supersite For Windows


> Overall, the Mac experience isn’t as sophisticated as what we get on Windows, but maybe that will change with a future update. For now, you do get all the Office applications Microsoft makes for Mac, and you can access your SharePoint and SkyDrive documents, albeit in a less than elegant fashion.

Chris Foresman, Ars Technica


> For the second time in a month, Apple has effectively blacklisted the current version of the Java Web plugin on OS X. The block comes just days after it was discovered that the latest version of the plugin, which had been rushed out to patch a critical vulnerability, can still be exploited despite its heightened security mechanisms.

> “Due to evolving regulatory requirements, Apple will stop selling Mac Pro in EU, EU candidate and EFTA countries on March 1, 2013,” an Apple representative told The Loop. “After that date, resellers can sell existing inventory but Apple will no longer ship Mac Pro in those countries.”

Outside of EU, the Mac Pro will continue to be sold at least until the Mac Pro replacement arrives, hopefully sometime this year.

> iOS 6 made some strides in toning down the UI, more silver than blue, more blacks than silvers, and I thought on the iPhone especially, it felt more relaxing and pleasant to use.

> But the idea of original sin has resonance elsewhere too, in the history of nations: it gives shape, direction and impetus to history.



**** Is Scientific Truth Always Beautiful? ****
<http://chronicle.com/article/When-Beauty-Is-Not-Truth/136803/>
Christopher Shea, The Chronicle Of Higher Education


> Does science have a "beauty" problem? David Orrell, a mathematician and consultant, argues that it does—or, at least, that some of its practitioners are in thrall to ideals involving "elegance," "symmetry," and "unity" that are beckoning them down false paths.
