Netscape founder switches


The founder of Netscape and co-founder of LoudCloud (Opsware) and Ning Marc Andreessen has given up his Windows system in favor of a MacBook Pro. Andreessen tells of experiencing difficulties with his 15-inch Lenovo ThinkPad T60 notebook, after which he purchased a 15-inch MacBook Pro. "I used to be a Mac user till 1994," Andreessen said. "Now I am a Mac user again." Andreessen was visibly happy when telling his story, according to one blogger who sat down for coffee with Netscape's founder. The technical bigwig follows thousands of others who adopted Macs last year, causing Apple's share of the personal computer market to surge amidst reports that over half of those who bought a Mac had never owned one previously.

    marc andreesen = wanker

    before you cream your jeans about andreesen, remember that he's spent a fair amount of time since Netscape, outsourcing American jobs to India. And he is very proud of his work, too.

    Hop on the Clue Bus!

    There's nothing wrong with outsourcing, Climacs. Its rather obvious you haven't left whatever suburb you grew up in. I wouldn't be surprised if your mommy still puts your pj's on at bedtime.

    People living in poverty in India and other 3rd world countries appear to be much more deserving of these jobs than a schlep like you. Night, night, Pumpkin.

    Now, now

    It's "go frak yourself."

    Seriously, this comes as no surprise as 75% of all old dinosaurs prefer using Macs. These old farts to a person realize when you remove "computer" from your corporate brand name, you just ain't gonna long be in that market.

    Besides, testudo told me.
