Apple, Circuit City 'go their separate ways' [MacCentral] - I have never been impressed with Circuit City and what seemed like half-baked support for Macs. But in areas like mine, the greater Seattle area, this further limits the number of venues where people can go out and physically see a Mac to compare it with a Windows machine. For this reason alone, this story is bad news for Apple

In a story related to my advice offered yesterday: Tired of viruses and bugs? Ditch Microsoft, Silicon.com offers a note today that Bill Gates is red-faced as Microsoft leaves Apple users exposed to hackers
Here is a quote from my story from yesterday:
"This is the way I view it: One reason I use a Mac is that the underlying system is less likely to be attacked by hackers than if I used Windows. Sure, the Mac has some killer applications that help make this decision easy, but a big plus to running Macs as a small business owner is that the machines are easier to maintain and one part of that is that viruses and crippling security risks are lessened, at least at this point in time, just by choosing Apple products. And, since I decided to use Apple products to avoid many of the pitfalls I would face if I was running Windows, why would I then decide to hop into bed with Microsoft and introduce more of their buggy products to a machine that I want to rely on?"

I just created a new news category for something completely unrelated to the Mac and OS X - the Winter Olympics. With the games starting today, I want to pipe news and comments about the games and the upcoming lame TV coverage on NBC TV to the new category.
