Apple's Looming Lion: Mac OS 10.7's Availability Means More Systems Will Be Dying

I'm fairly excited about the enhancements coming next month in Mac OS 10.7 'Lion' O/S, and I'm especially intrigued by the low upgrade price point. However, I'm not at all enthused about the degree to which it and its operating system predecessors have regularly and predictably obsoleted my Apple hardware suite.

And So It Begins...

Abundant thanks go out to John Donovan, a long-time professional associate and personal friend, who enthusiastically recruited me to join the staff at Low-Power Design as soon as he heard that I'd left EDN. I'll be periodically contributing material to the What's On Brian's Mind blog, along with crafting more in-depth feature articles. Just-published initial content includes my bio, along with my first Low-Power Design blog post, 'Cultivating The Budding Low-Power Flower'.

Enjoy! Feedback is always welcomed.
