[18:44] <FunnyLookinHat> joey, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were turning into an Apple Fanboy.
[18:44] <joey> who me?
[18:44] <joey> and it would be "returning fanboy"
[18:44] <FunnyLookinHat> Yeah you
[18:44] <FunnyLookinHat> hah
[18:44] <joey> I left mac to come to ubuntu in 2005
[18:44] <FunnyLookinHat> Stop selling people on the devil!
[18:45] <joey> I might be a bit short sided but I only think ubuntu and apple products are worthwhile
[18:45] <joey> they are both built on unix, have open source in them, etc
[18:46] <FunnyLookinHat> There certainly seems to be a "linux-powered ultrabook" hole that needs to be filled in the market.
[18:46] <FunnyLookinHat> Linux powered - as in - shipped w/ full Linux support and actually good battery life.
[18:46] <joey> yeah
[18:46] <joey> What I see at conferences certainly has changed
[18:47] <FunnyLookinHat> I'm excited to see what people bring to this next UDS
[18:47] <FunnyLookinHat> that's for sure.
[18:47] <FunnyLookinHat> yeah
[18:47] <joey> in 2005 it was  50% some linux (usually slackware), 49% windows, and 1% mac
[18:48] <joey> today it's 60% mac, 40% ubuntu, and 1% windows
[18:48] <joey> somewhere in the middle it was 50% ubuntu, 10% some other linux variant, 20% mac, 20% win
[18:51] <FunnyLookinHat> Talking about you - or what people bring to UDS?
[18:57] <joey> what I see at UDS, Linaro Connect, and other confs I go to
[18:57] <joey> even defcon although I'm a bit out of touch with that scene
[18:58] <joey> The other advantage which I forgot to put in my email to telecon was ...  with an Air and I go to any of the nearby apple stores and get it replaced
[18:58] <joey> whereas with the Asus, well, good luck with that
[18:59] <joey> you have to call an 800 number and then ship it off and if you're lucky you'll get it back in a month
[19:05] <FunnyLookinHat> ah
[19:06] <FunnyLookinHat> I've never had much luck running Ubuntu on mac hardware
[19:06] <FunnyLookinHat> Always frustrated me.
