It seriously brings a tear to my eye just reading the story. Pipes will tell her, “Look at us, not him.” And when she’s done, they will circle her again and walk her out. And if she has to testify against her abuser in court, they will go, too, walking with her to the witness stand and taking over the first row of seats. If she is afraid to go to school, they will take her and watch until she’s safely inside. If the man who hurt this little girl calls or drives by, or even if she is just scared, another nightmare, the bikers will ride over and stand guard all night. Seriously, how amazingly cool are these bad ass mofos? They are members of the Arizona chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse International, and they wear their motto on their black leather vests and T-shirts: “No child deserves to live in fear.” The unruly-looking mob in her driveway is there to help her feel safe again. She never feels safe, even with her parents just downstairs. So what happens when you’re a child and a victim of terrible things, and don’t feel safe in your own house? Turns out the simple solution is you have a tough-as-nails biker gang hanging around you to protect you. He finds lots wrong on both sides of the fence, with the conclusions reached fairly interesting. It’s definitely not a Windows 8 / Surface hate-fest, or an iPad love fest. Maybe it is, but on the plus side, it generally tends to work, and typically doesn’t fill your computer with adware and browser toolbars and background processes that install weird buttons in the toolbars of all of your freaking windows.
Windows users sometimes complain that Mac software is expensive. Finding software for Windows is a nightmare. In case of emergency, connect the external disk, start the Mac, hit Option, select the external disk, you’re done.
For example, how do you create a bootable clone of your hard disk, so that you can boot from an identical external USB hard disk in case the internal disk goes belly-up? On a Mac, you just download Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper17 and run it. A really interesting look at Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface from someone moving from an iPadīasic things that should really not be complicated are borderline impossible on Windows.
