Good hardware, crap software

I really love Apple laptops. They are pretty, functional, unique and have lots of cool hardware hidden in subtle ways. The software, on the otherhand is...not so much. What's someone to do with a brand new mac to turn it back into your computer, not Steve's computer.

Well, short of putting Linux on it, which is tempting but then a bunch of the hardware gonna be a pain to figure out I'm just gonna remove all the crap I don't care about. There are two little programs other's wrote to facilitate this task.

  1. AppZapper
  2. Monolingual
AppZapper is a bit retarded because the author believes that it's worth crippling the utility until his users drop a tip in his jar. It's a nice convenience but not worth $12. Shit, I can get a gig of online storage for less than that.

Grand total, > 5 gigs of space for applications I don't want.
