Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Just like Apple Markets by hiding the flaws, the book has been written hiding the flaws.
PC & Windows on the hand are so common to use & easily available to the masses that everyone knows the pros & cons, & anybody hard needs to rely on Ad Manual.
Rest assured, after reading the book many people will buy or switch to Apple, who later on will cry & run to Apple store for simple problems.
Written on a 2 years old K750i with full JAVA support.
Anirudh, I don't need to read the fast track to mention these things as they are universal truth.
Hardly any macboys here knows anything technical about Mac hardware or software. I doubt if they wrote anything with there own research, or they just copied from net. Then again, it was an attempt to show readers the good side of Apple to increse the sales & they succeded in it.
Sorry, right now I don't have time & my monitor to counter the book

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
If goobi wrote about print designing benefits of Mac compared to XP, then good. But I m sure u didn't compare it to to Vista's windows imaging component which provides same thing on wider range of hardware to people with all budgets.
Andy, he doesen't even know that Yahoo messenger for Mac or any such software uses QuickTime component for webcam support
Arya...ah! forget it.
iMav, even I don't have Rs 125 to read his stupidity again.
Why buy a new computer to do something on Mac when I can do that on my existing computer running Vista.
M I wrong if I say that Apple should provide hardware flexibility like PCs do?
The book is a very good marketing & informative attempt, but definately not unbiased from any angle.
Just a sidenote, my monitor is not working so while I m offline for few days, macboys should enjoy the happiness fruit, & bash me as much as they like

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Anyway, please stop this stupid discussion. We are veering far too off-topic. If you have read the book and want to critique it, feel free to do so. But if you haven't, or if your username happens to be gx_saurav or iMav, just shut the hell up!
A quote from the book:iMav said:how can u call me a hypocrite for saying that an os that doesnt have a cut option isnt a good enough os
My account number is 0735486545865346 at UTI bank. The name is Aayush Arya. In indian currency, you are supposed to deposit Rs. 4,022. Let's see who was being a hypocrite now.
Oh, I see. I guess you did not notice the Fast Track to Windows Vista last month, did you?gx_saurav said:
Yes, I did not because it does. I play HD movies on my Mac. Once you connect an HD DVD or Blu-ray reader, you can play them on Mac OS X.gx_saurav said:
Another quote for your reading displeasure:gx_saurav said:
Yeah, because they would have edited out all the lies anyway so why bother writing them!gx_saurav said:
Two words: jealousy and spite. Get over them.gx_saurav said:
Public humiliation never did anyone any good, so follow his advice.infra_red_truth said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
It is very hard & slow to type so much on a phone. But then again I wrote all that on phone released 2 years ago which I bought for 10k last year compared to the 35K iUseless from Apple which does't even do what my old phone does.
Oh look, arya is here reading the thread, m sure galiyan de raha hoga cos another mac myth busted.
Good night.

@arya
lolz, arya lost tempar again
Nope, I don't have time & money to read something again which I already know about Vista
U can't play HD DVD on current Mac due to no support of HDCP or HDMI, even an extarnal drive won't work & u cannot upgrade them to play HD DVD. What U play in your MBP is free or pirated H.264/x.264 based AVI/MKV/Mov files which isn't equivalent to playing HD DVD content.
U really don't have any knowledge of Mac
arya, even U know that Mac OS has no support to mount or burn multisession DVD, so it is not a lie, it should have been included.
I cannot buy a Soundblaster X-fi or GeForce 8600GT or 500 GB SATA 2 HD from my local market & plug in my Mac Pro, cos it won't work. U call this Mac Pro's upgrade capability? Was this flaw included? M i wrong to say this fellow members?
yeah, I m so jealous that my marketing article was not published
arya, stop whineing & learn to accept unbiased truth & criticism. I urge all members here to check themselves whether the flaws I posted r biased or written in jealousy or hard & true facts.
The fast track Macboys wrote was showing just the good side of Mac, which can only be termed as a very good but non informative marketing attempt, inspired by Apple.
iMav, I would rather buy a cheap & superior Dell 20" LCD instead of 20"
Apple LCD Monitor for Rs 65,000. 17" Samsung LCD rox.
ah! PC, we can use any hardware & software we want, including MacOS X
Oh wait, even Mac is a PC which runs Windows. Then why the hell macboys call it superior

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
You are right about them HD DVDs and Blurays. No support yet. But its not like Vista supports either out of the box. It is the third party apps which make this possible. But leopard is going to have bluray built in. Leave alone that Vista can't even play DVDs properly without third party decoders (I could be wrong).
Yeah apple display's are expensive (44k for the 20", don't bloat up the prices). But they are well built (though that still doesn't justify the price).
But why is this stuff been shoved into this topic? Don't we have that other one in the fight club section? Please, let's keep this topic clean...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Vista has inbuilt support for next gen HD content disks. It needs A 3rd Party decoder. Anyone can upgrade his PC with a Blu Ray or HD DVD drive running Vista, it works out of the box even for current or new PCs which can have new HD drives later on. u can even plug an HDMI based gfx card in existing PC.
In case of Mac, u have to discard the existing hardware & buy everything again. Why this flaw not was included in book?
PC is much better.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Back your statement with truth. Even I can give my PC to this company (I forgot the name) & they will recompile the OS & hardware for xtreme performance.
Mac OS X Tiger has no support for HDCP. External Disk drives don't work with Mac. U need to buy a new Mac with leopard & HD DVD Drive to play HD DVD.
Whats not there by default is not a feature.
If I buy a new PC today I can upgrade it later for HD dvd. U can't do the same in Mac pro

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
What is the definition of well built? If i can remember properly even you have Dell 24 inch display , is it cheaply built? My friend has that same display and its awesome. he got it for 42,000, and he has 2 of them now . Buying a apple display will be foolish imo.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Yep. Buying an apple display is foolish. Its not like my Dell display is not well built. It is. But compare it to an apple display and the difference is obvious. For instance, If I'm turning the display to the side, it creaks. It also requires a considerable amount of force while doing a height adjustment. Now I admit that the apple display doesn't have any of these adjustments save for the vertical viewing angle, but it moves so fluidly, there is no creaking. It is also just an inch thick compared to the dell which is....somewhere quite a bit more. But then again, for 40k, a 24 inch dell is more than worth it! I love my dell monitor btw.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
And when you want to put two displays side-by-side, an Apple display is much better due to the almost non-existent bezel on the sides.
It is darned expensive though. I am going to buy one of them one day though.
