Justifying Mac purchase to company?

Neil Burnside | Jan 21 2008

I have a friend who is a prof at a uni. She wants to use part of her budget to purchase a new laptop for work and prefers a Mac. The uni has a contract with IBM and would prefer her to buy a winbox. They told her she can "opt out" and purchase a Mac as long as she can justify the purchase. Can the 43f HiveMind give us some ideas on how she can justify the Macbook? She is a sociologist if that helps get your creative juices flowing.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
