If Apple was so hot they would have multiple manufacture's running their platform.

Still Jack 01-28-2010 03:25 AM

Apple is awful. I refuse to purchase electronics from Hippies.

The Wii is a success, the Yugo was a failure. What's in a name, eh?

Faulty logic. If McDonald's was so hot, they'd have other restaurants selling their burgers. And if you check the measurable standards, Apple is successful by any metric.

I have resisted having any Apple product (even an iPod) due to the sheep-like attitude of the cult of Jobs members and the lack of significant constructive criticism in the culture. But I would never say that they aren't making a decent product or that they aren't brilliant marketers of those products.

Still Jack 01-28-2010 06:58 AM

They made what pretty much every other major electronics manufacturer could have made. All they did that was different was served it up in brushed aluminium and white plastic.

I have an iPod, it was a present, and a pretty decent one at that.
However I'm a total faggit and run Linux.

Apple's iPad video

Yep. Getting one too. It's perfect for my needs at home, and if iWork works the way I want on it, I'll even use it at... work.

vindicatedxjin 01-28-2010 12:06 PM

I'm totally gonna buy an iphone!

My friend and I were playing around, looking at shirts, and she said, "If we shit bats and fart cobwebs, does that mean we piss blood?" I love her.

Geoluhread 01-28-2010 03:12 PM

I`ll never understand people`s obsession with Soccer.

Still Jack 01-28-2010 03:13 PM

Problem is with the iPad, people will still buy that shit...

@Malice, I only run linux now, I've never had a fuckup with it and so far it does all the things I want it to.

honeythorn 01-28-2010 04:34 PM

My bed is too comfortable... I seem to be sleeping too much!

Catch 01-28-2010 05:23 PM

I'm up and feeling good.

Mir 01-28-2010 08:56 PM

A Linux distribution is the only thing worth running.

Catch 01-28-2010 09:02 PM

Well, I disagree.

Still Jack 01-28-2010 11:00 PM

Windows has always varied from second to third rate operating systems and the Mac OS only ever run on apple hardware. I agree wit Mir. Linux will run on pretty much anything stably.

Cosmicgaunt 01-28-2010 11:55 PM

Fish and Chips for dinner, win!

Catch 01-29-2010 12:51 AM

Open source isn't all that hot. I appreciate capitalism and hope Winows keeps going forever, yet Delphi is also an acceptable TCP/IPX platform.

Mir 01-29-2010 12:56 AM

Wrong fucking thread.

Actually, I have a friend that ran Mac OS on a PC.
"iHack"
It worked very well actually.





I have a bond worth £597 that I can get out come the 8th of February.
But it'll go up to £664 by my 21st.
However, my 21st is 4 years away and I don't know if it's worth it.
