Obambi the Mac, Billary the PC

The NYTimes has a story comparing the Web sites of the Dems still seeking the nomination. Obama's design is so much more visually pleasing and integrated. And they quote Prof. Lessig on the candidates' positions:

On the big Internet issues like copyright, Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford law professor who is supporting Mr. Obama, said there was “not a big difference on paper” between the two Democrats. Both tend to favor the users of the Internet over those who “own the pipes.” He is impressed by Mr. Obama’s proposal to “make all public government data available to everybody to use as they wish.”

In the long run, however, Mr. Lessig believes that it is the ability to motivate the electorate that matters, not simple matters of style. And he’s a Mac user from way back.
