And here’s another one:
Leander Kahney is the editor and publisher of Cult of Mac.
Leander is a longtime technology reporter and the author of six acclaimed books about Apple, including two New York Times bestsellers: Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple’s Greatest Products and Inside Steve’s Brain, a biography of Steve Jobs.
He’s also written a top-selling biography of Apple CEO Tim Cook and authored Cult of Mac and Cult of iPod, which both won prestigious design awards. Most recently, he was co-author of Cult of Mac, 2nd Edition.
Leander has been reporting about Apple and technology for nearly 30 years.
Before founding Cult of Mac as an independent publication, Leander was news editor at Wired.com, where he was responsible for the day-to-day running of the Wired.com website. He headed up a team of six section editors, a dozen reporters and a large pool of freelancers. Together the team produced a daily digest of stories about the impact of science and technology, and won several awards, including several Webby Awards, 2X Knight-Batten Awards for Innovation in Journalism and the 2010 MIN (Magazine Industry Newsletter) award for best blog, among others.
Before being promoted to news editor, Leander was Wired.com’s senior reporter, primarily covering Apple. During that time, Leander published a ton of scoops, including the first in-depth report about the development of the iPod. Leander attended almost every keynote speech and special product launch presented by Steve Jobs, including the historic launches of the iPhone and iPad. He also reported from almost every Macworld Expo in the late ’90s and early ‘2000s, including, sadly, the last shows in Boston, San Francisco and Tokyo. His reporting for Wired.com formed the basis of the first Cult of Mac book, and subsequently this website.
Before joining Wired, Leander was a senior reporter at the legendary MacWeek, the storied and long-running weekly that documented Apple and its community in the 1980s and ’90s.
Leander has written for Wired magazine (including the Issue 16.04 cover story about Steve Jobs’ leadership at Apple, entitled Evil/Genius), Scientific American, The Guardian, The Observer, The San Francisco Chronicle and many other publications.
Leander is an expert on:
Apple and Apple history
Steve Jobs, Jony Ive, Tim Cook and Apple leadership

iPad and iPadOS
Mac and macOS
Apple Watch and watchOS

Leander has a postgrad diploma in artificial intelligence from the University of Aberdeen, and a BSc (Hons) in experimental psychology from the University of Sussex.
He has a diploma in journalism from the UK’s National Council for the Training of Journalists.
Leander lives in San Francisco, California, and is married with four children. He’s an avid biker and has ridden in many long-distance bike events, including California’s legendary Death Ride.

Nice red stapler.
what a coincidence, that in two different devices, and two different reasons, the blue screen shows the same text…
bullshit
why have you installed it anyway if you don’t like it?
What Apple didn’t qualify their sounds & keyboard drivers. And gosh – you’ve never seen a kernel panic? Had three on my PPC Mini last tueday.
Both of them are a hardware related issue (a problem with MSKSSRV.SYS, the sound card driver), so they’re more Apple related than MS related.
I’m using both Win and MacOSX in a daily basis, and most (if not all) of BSOD or KernelPanics I suffered are hardware or third part drivers issues. So it’s no strange that you get this with an alpha drivers (as Apple used to release).
>what a coincidence, that in two different devices, and two different reasons, the >blue screen shows the same text…
>bullshit
Suppose it’s the SAME reason they bluescreen? They have similar hardware – they’re not completely different. Remember that the BootCamp drivers are pre-alpha.
>why have you installed it anyway if you don’t like it?
Because you can.
Another beautiful day in paradise, eh? Thanks for the great post (about First Blue Screen of Death on a Mac) I think that Floor Hardwood Oak in regards to this topic is also important.
