Lots of places and activities are for those who do not carry a backpack.IskatuMesk wrote: Cell phones are overrated in general. You don't need a $200 cell phone to talk to someone. If you want to do something else with it get a damn netbook or an actual laptop. In the long run you'll be spending far less money and have far greater flexibility with it.
if you work for what you call hard cash, i don't see why you shouldn't get the stuff you want.IskatuMesk wrote: Man, apple is really going balls to the wall selling their hand held devices. You never know what kind of crazy mobile object they'll erect in their public demonstrations. I'd almost be tempted to humor their lust for expensive cuisine just to show off my goods to the locals like some kind of frat boy but I'm not American and don't have ridiculous amounts of hard cash.

Mac hardware is the same shit they put in prebuilt PCs, they may change some driver related things, but it's all the same shit.AA7Dragoon wrote: Actually Mac hardware is reliable. For years, people have belittled and marganized Apple software. If Apple was just an image, a pretty flower with no substance, then why is the company flourishing? There are a few important facts to note here in this discussion:
1. The iPod
It is undeniable that the iPod revolutionized music players. With 225 million iPods sold and with Apple commanding nearly 75% of the market share, there's more than just flare here. Apple look over an entire market of listening to music. iTunes has been a major success with millions of Americans using its software to download music, games, movies, and applications. The iTunes music store is the Top Music Retailer in the United States. It beats out Wal-Mart and Amazon.
2. The iPhone
Do you remember the days before the iPhone? Everyone had shitty Motorolla Razrs, and only the business industry was using Blackberries. When the iPhone came out, it sparked an arms race between Apple vs. the Telecommunication companies. Apple forced phone companies to rethink the crappy hardware they were selling to people. For the next three years, Verizon, Google, Motorolla, and RIM (Blackberry) have been trying to catch up with Apple's iPhone technology. I remember this forum complained about the iPhone's touch screen technology. Well now, everyone is using it. Touch screen technology is standard on most smart phones now.
The success of the iPhone currently stands at 21% of the market share, which is pretty good considering the phone is limited to AT&T's awful network. It has truly redefined how we perceive phones. The phone has sold millions and has sparked another market of its own:
3. Applications
Applications are rapidly becoming the next big market. Who would have imagined you would be seeing television ads for people to log into their iPhones and buy a certain application? Apple pioneered application stores for mobile devices. Currently, there are 185,000 applications in the App Store with over 4 billion total downloads. Other phone companies have launched their own application stores to keep up with Apple.
It's difficult to maintain that Apple is an overhyped expense. Clearly, the company has transcended beyond the fanboys. The success of Apple is a multibillion dollar phenomenon with millions upon millions of satisfied customer . One can continue to criticize Apple all they want to, but the reality is Apple's innovation to bring new technology into the mainstream market has revolutionized how people use mobile devices, listen to music, and experience entertainment.
don't be hating. nobody's forbidding you to play with your windows machine! you go build your own computers, man. see if the rest of the world cares.wibod wrote:Mac hardware is the same shit they put in prebuilt PCs, they may change some driver related things, but it's all the same shit.AA7Dragoon wrote: Actually Mac hardware is reliable.

Everything else can be summed up as: lol hipsters/mac fanatics/people who can't build their own computer/people ignorant to technology
Also wtf at you saying the iPhone is somehow more capable than a backberry, are you cereal? Do you know any serious person in business who uses an iPhone, cause I don't, they use BB or older cell phones. The iPhone is a glorified toy in all respects and touch screen technology is awful.
Apps, don't even get me started on how Apple is locking down the platform to prevent people from cross developing things for Android phones. I'm sure you can see why this is bad for them in the long run.
itunes is awful btw, any company that puts wait code into a program just because it's on windows is fucking sleezy and can't be trusted.
