Every now and then I Google to see where my undergraduate econometrics T.A. is in life. The updates I can glean from the Web are not too dramatic — another year, another publication in Econometrica (the hardest economics journal to get into). But I always like reading his econometrics haikus:

T-stat looks too good.
Use robust standard errors–
significance gone.

This year I noticed a new addition to his Web page: “Why You Should Use Mac OS X”. And I must say, he’s fairly persuasive. For my next upgrade, I may just have to make the switch.
