Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 1:45 PM I know all of you are already thinking about this and we'll probably end up with 5-10 threads on the subject, but I just wanted to be the first to start one. That's right - it's almost Macworld Expo time! It's nice to know that all of you are as excited as I am about the Stevenote and especially about all the cool new products that might (or might not) be coming. Especially the Apple branded cell phone and the 8-core PowerMac. [eyes roll back] [pisses self] [hyperventilates and passes out] —anobody |

Sunday, January 7, 2007 at 10:10 AM my brother has had an imac since june or july thereabouts, and my sister an ibook.
my analogy or metaphor or whatever would be that macs are like really sweet sports cars that can only be driven on railway tracks. so you can't actually use them to get most places you want to go.
cuz you can't do anything on a mac. and if you think you can, you don't do anything on your computer. —MajandraFan |

Edited Tuesday, January 9, 2007 at 2:03 AM Is Steve Jobs gay? Look at that tight black sweater-metrosexual tight black shirt he's got on. And that loose wrist! Just look at the opening frame of that video, you don't even have to watch it! omg, my iPod was created by a gay! I need to take a shower. edit: why did I say "tight black" twice? Am I staring at Steve Jobs's chest too much? I'm leaving it. —Stryker311 |

Tuesday, January 9, 2007 at 11:00 PM Of course I should have known the iPhone would be a Cingular exclusive since I just dropped Cingular... cuz you can't do anything on a mac. and if you think you can, you don't do anything on your computer. My better judgement says that nothing good will come of replying to this... but I just can't help myself. First, a little background. I'm a DOS/Windows guy from way back (starting with DOS 3.3) that migrated to Linux right around the time Windows Me came out. I absolutely loathed Pre-OS X Macs because they were so restrictive and too much was hidden from the user. However, after becoming familiar with the UNIX-like inner-workings of OS X through having to support a few Macs at work, I soon bought myself a Mac-Mini to mess with. Soon it became my primary computer, and I haven't looked back since. With my MacBook I can run Mac OS X programs, UNIX programs, and Windows programs all on one machine. When I don't feel like leaving the friendly confines of OS X, I can still join ActiveDirectory domains (using the /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access application included with every copy of OS X), I can work with Word/Excel/Powerpoint documents (Using Microsoft Office for OS X), and I can code and test ASP.Net applications (using Mono). Yeah, there are things which are sore spots for OS X (e.g. full Microsoft Exchange functionality, poorly coded MSIE-only web sites, Windows-only apps--many of which, BTW, are unnecessary on OS X because the functionality is built in, and games)--but this can easily be remedied by firing up a copy of Windows XP under Parallels or BootCamp. However, for day to day use (both personal and business), I find myself hardly ever leaving OS X to get things done. So what is it exactly that can't be done on a Mac? —One Nut Wonder |

Wednesday, January 10, 2007 at 6:40 PM My better judgement says that nothing good will come of replying to this That's why I didn't - but since you did... With my MacBook I can run Mac OS X programs, UNIX programs, and Windows programs all on one machine. Before I switched, I was dual booting BSD and Windows on a PC. It was a royal pain in the ass. Sure - now you can use Cygwin and get a half-assed UNIX shell on a Windows box, or you can use Wine in Linux but either still pretty much sucks. When OS X came out I was ecstatic - I got a PowerBook and the public beta. At the time, I worked at Intel and this was *way* before Apple switched to x86 so I was kinda a black sheep for it. It's amazingly impressive. Better polish than Windows - all the consumer apps I needed, Unix shell, free nicely integrated X-windows, free high quality developer tools - just incredible. Then there's the whole 'It Just Works' philosophy - it's not just lip service. You almost can't understand it till you experience it for yourself, but things just go together so effortlessly compared to Windows (never mind Linux, AIX, Irix, Solaris, or other BSDs). So what is it exactly that can't be done on a Mac? Now that they're Intel based and they can boot Vista or XP (though I'd never do either myself), not a whole hell of a lot. Then there's this iPhone. I'll tell ya - I've wanted a 'Smartphone' for years, but none has ever really appealed to me. I've had my share of mobile phones, but have never been particularly impressed by any of them. After my experience with their other hardware and software, I was very excited as hell when I started hearing rumors about the iPhone. The price may be a bit high and the lack of 3G and integrated GPS are kinda lame, but I still plan on getting one of the first generation iPhones and somehow I don't expect that I'll regret my purchase. —anobody |
