The Cult of Mac
This guy, Ilker Yoldas' site, The Thinking Blog is pretty interesting. He has some very well written ideas, and not just cuz I happen to agree with him. His take on Macs is right on the money.
These are the antidote to the Mac vs PC ads on TV, by Paul the Mac Hater.
I can completely relate to these, as I've used both Macs and PCs for work. Macs are all show and design, which is very cool, I have to admit, but the functionality is just not there. I mean, they just got a damn mouse wheel! How about a second button guys?! Or maybe a 'back' button?

Music
My favorite is the music one, because I really, really hate iTunes. Despise it. You pay real money for a song or a whole album, and not at any real discount, but you can't EVER get it off the iPod once you put it on, so if you change computers or, heaven forbid, your drive crashes on the old comp, you're screwed. You can only play the songs through the iPod and then only on 5 computers. Period. And they have to be authorized. I have nusic I paid for that I can only listen to on my stupid iPod. I paid for them but they're not mine.
Artist/designer with delusions of grandeur
