Computing Schizophrenia and the Future of the Mac
Sorry to be so pedantic, but schizophrenia is a terrifying psychotic illness characterised by extreme paranoid delusions (lizards are controlling my brain through my microwave etc), full-blown auditory and visual hallucinations, broken speech and thought processes, and all of the accompanying social problems that the above would obviously incur.
The metaphorical sense in which it is commonly used, and is being used here, is a confusion with dissociative identity disorder, aka multiple personality disorder. It doesn't help that the word comes from the greek for "split mind," but there is no aspect of multiple divergent identities in schizophrenia, except in the sense that the symptoms will wax and wane over time.
Understand that I say this not out of needless pedantry or tiresome political correctness, but in the interests of society having a full understanding of these incredibly common mental health issues in order that they should be viewed on an equal footing with physical ailments. Perhaps then we could channel our anxieties around psychological health more effectively than we do currently, where we mock the weak in public and chug pills in private.
Rant over...
That is interesting... On one hand, you have Mac series which have divided mouseland and touchland(ew, that sounded gross) with an iron wall, on the other you have windows 8 which tries to unify them.
I wonder why this approach had gained credibility, apart from the obvious: More people had started to use tablets. But is that a valid reason to switch everything over to tablet-like ui? Microsoft is doing it, Apple is doing it and Linux (especially Ubuntu) is doing it too.
So: an iPad with a keyboard case (to make it a MacBook Air) and a dock with Thunderbolt stuff to connect KVM appliances?
