I don't get what's supposed to happen. To me it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/CMwdLNg.png

At my company, small cms company bought a few years ago by older larger media company, recruiting in Stockholm, we're offering new employees a Mac or Linux laptop, but there is a lot of hinting that "you'd probably be best off picking a Mac", and a few new hires have opted for the latter because of reasons that to me sound like they think it's the "company DNA" or something.
I'm not religious about platform choice, but I'd hate to see a future where developers are pidgeonholed with regards to their tools
Edit: currently 13 of 15 of our devs use Mac

I'm not trying to flamebait, but are macs so popular that it's just assumed that all new hires want one as their tool? At my company we're still asking new employees which platform they want to work on, is this falling out of fashion?

When I quit my first job, my former employer made a point of conducting all exit interviews with someone who was in no way an authority figure for the person quitting (I did mine with the receptionist).
I was of course very polite, I didn't want to burn any bridges and could still consider going back there some day, but I also was honest when telling them that main reason (that was in their control) for me quitting was that there was no development process (i.e. scrum) and the first thing on their to-do list should be to hire a good head of development.
They did this a year after I left and from what I've heard they have kept the rest of my team and even attracted some new talent. Maybe there are cultural factors at play as well (I'm in Stockholm).
They invited me back later for beers and starcraft 2, so I guess they don't hate me too much :)

I couldn't stand Unity either, and for me it was more an issue of coming from an earlier version of Ubuntu (gnome).

The €210 price tag is a bit too steep for me. I would have bought one for €60.

One of the main reasons I hang out on programming help channels on IRC is to hone my skills in reading other peoples' messy code when helping them solve a problem. Plus, there's the bonus good feeling from helping people :)

Planet Money did an episode on why TOS and EULA's aren't human (as opposed to lawyer) readable.
Here's a link to the episode: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/04/21/134633336/why-are-...

Not bad! On a similar note Etablissemanget adopted "treating objects like women" as their slogan.

Team Fizz Buzz is not an unreasonable team name! Or is the norm out there for teams to name themselves to whatever they are working on?
Our current teams are named: "Team America 2", "Kill Kenny" and "Etablissemanget" ("The Establishment" in swedish)
