Blog of the Week: Cult of Mac & MacRumors
hile my love for my Windows Phone has put me in sort of an awkward position in the Mac lover world, I still like to know what’s happening in the world of Apple which is why I often frequent both Cult of Mac and my other favorite MacRumors.com, I’ve merged these two blogs because more often than not they discuss much of the same topics.
Which came first the Cult of Mac or the Cult of Racewood?
Actually, it may be a tie. See, Cult of Mac’s copyright page says 2009, I created Cult of Racewood I think around 08/09 so for arguments sake I’ll say it’s a tie. But I do know this much, they totally stole the CultCast deal right from under me. To be fair, I wasn’t using it, and both of us being the Cult it was definitely the obvious choice for a podcast name. Really I’m not as bitter as I’m sure I sound. (Promise 
It’s interesting reading the blog now from a more unbiased perspective, I can totally see when something makes sense, and when something is (for lack of a better term) bullshit. Apple users (and to be fair Windows and Android users as well) are rather polarized on what they like. Apparently if you like one, you must hate the other (or some such rot). I still don’t much care for a lot about the Windows experience, but I can admit that Apple had dropped off on software innovations to focus on hardware innovations, which is all well and good, but don’t you ever get bored of the same thing, but thinner? Granted, my phone is heavier than any of the iPhones have ever been (even in the beginning), but it’s different. It’s fresh and it’s new and it’s a graphic designers wet dream with all the typography and motion. It’s simplicity and utility, is it perfect? No. What phone is?
The truth of the matter is I still really love Apple, but I also really want to see something drastically new software wise. OSX is getting very very old and iOS is starting to follow. And PS: Tim… dragging OSX screaming into another ten years is not going to go over very well, even with the most loyal of followers. Just so you know.
