Apple Display used to be good in PowerPC days, now they use same LG.Philips Panel as Dell, hardly any difference left.

Yeah, it was a good day. Much love to Dear Reader Larry M. who sent in this chart. O mover of bits, O Linux apostate, O gentleman farmer. Zat's right bro. I know who you be. Much love. Peace out.

LOL! Classic. :lol:

Oh, and in case someone hasn't noticed, Apple is flying - soaring high!

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Another Fake Steve note that I just can't resist posting...

This about-face by Dvorak

So loads of people are writing in asking about this recent article by Dvorak in which he admits he's using a Mac and thinks it's a hundred times better than Windows and concedes that's been a big foolish windbag ass-hat Mac-hater, and he's been wrong, and he apologizes, and he prays that someday I can forgive him ... or something like that. So people are asking me, Steve, what do you make of this?

*bp0.blogger.com/_pNJFZtinpKY/RqobxrF6B3I/AAAAAAAABfo/-bWZaQZwXWU/s400/john-dvorak.jpg

You know what? It scares the **** out of me. Because if this frigtard Dvorak now likes our machines, I think we must have done something wrong. Honestly. This idiot has been so consistently wrong for his entire career that we use him as a contrarian indicator. Now he likes us, and I'm afraid this might mean we've jumped the shark or something. Also, as I've said many times, there are a lot of people who we really don't want using our products. No bias or anything; they just aren't right for us. Dvorak is clearly one of them.

So we're watching this very, very closely to see how it develops. With any luck they'll get JD back on his Alzheimer's medicine and he'll regain his senses and start bashing us again.
[Emphasis added.]

This guy just gets funnier and funnier. :lol:

Do you guys know about Hawk Wings?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

A little conversation I had with a forum member on orkut. I had no idea who he was but he knew me very well. He used to be a Microsoft lover, and by extension, an Apple hater. This is what happened.

akuCRACKER.. im sorry.. but did neva appritiate ur work in the forums...
aryayush said:
You don't have a Mac.

aryayush said:
I was thinking you would be him but your attitude towards Apple in the forum made me think that you two cannot be the same person.
akuCRACKER said:
well.. it was b4 i started usin a mac... and that tym i was more of a m$ fan... likin only m$ products...
aryayush said:
Anyway, you see? I was right all along. You bought a Mac and fell in love with it, didn't you! :smug satisfaction:
akuCRACKER said:
yeah ... man... u r cent % correct... its only been a few dayz dat im usin a mac... and to be really honest... theres nuthin like it...

This is an unbiased opinion. This is the opinion that matters. This is a testimonial. I knew it. I was so sure that if one person on this forum buys a Mac, he would admit that we've (goobimama, mail2and, nepcker and me) been right all along. If one month down the line, he has any complaints about his Mac (which he most probably will), that is the opinion people should consider because this guy has nothing to lose and he has no love for Apple or hatred for Microsoft. It is a shame that people on this forum insist on listening to the likes of gx_saurav and iMav.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

how can you expect ppl brought up in a DOS/Windows scenario appreciates other os?dont you know that M$ is a company which wants to monopolize every mind and soul in the world?coming soon DRM for brain..
people tends to believe what they got is the best solution?this is the case with microsoft windows users too.many are wary of other operating system and always want to sing the song windows is the best.what i want to say is-what is wrong in checking/experimenting with other operating systems not essentially unix-like?for example there is upcoming skyos,reactos etc too.
Microsoft's Mission Statement is "A computer on every desktop" - with the unspoken rider that each computer should be running Windows. Microsoft and Apple both sell operating systems, and both do their utmost to make sure their products get used by the largest number of people: They're businesses, out to make money.

And then there is FOSS. Which, even today, is almost entirely non-commercial.

Anyway, please stop the diversion. I wanted to post that conversation because it was something good in favour of the Mac, which is what this thread is all about.


So, has anyone heard of Hawk Wings? Why has Milind disappeared?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

u never admited to the fact that there could be flaws we pointed them out and guess what u accepted and got them published and not even a word of thanks for telling u ignorant salesman abt where ur os lacks and where ur hardware lacks ...

dvorak said:
I'm thinking about it, perhaps I should rethink my use of the word "elegant" when I describe the machine and the way it functions. See, most people use this word because they love the often-gimmicky stuff, such as the bouncing icons and sweep-away window minimizing. It's all very interesting but superfluous
- os x in a nutshell

mac is like a blonde paris hilton to be specific ... its shiny and sexy from the outside but the thing that runs it is all messed up as arya has himself accepted the flaws and got them published lso im wondering havnt u got ur threat mail as of yet if not then sorry digit ur circulation needs more customers :lol:

ok coming back now that u have decided to dilute the topic in an attempt to show that mac is gr8 i guess i wont be held accountable for 'deviating' from the topic ;)

the mac looks good (sahara looks as good - white and white) the os x is shiny and gives a sort of a different feel - a different feel from the windows environment and its in human nature to accept change (mac ui is better than most linux ui) and its this change from windows that makes a lot of people like the mac for the initial period but its once u get over the looks and start to work is when things and opinions change ;) aku likes it good for him he better like it he has paid a stupidly exorbitant amount for it but im sure he also will accept that the flaws we pointed out affect prodcutivity as again u accepted the flaws we pointed and then got them published ;)

Oh, that nutter! Of course you would take him seriously.

dvorak said:
In my opinion, I sense that the OS is more solid than Microsoft Windows, but I cannot say why exactly.
This is OS X in a nutshell. It is impossible to put it in words, but anyone who actually uses OS X is bound to get this feeling that they are using a much superior and well engineered operating system. Both of you, of course, are exceptions.


And would you please stay on topic! Windows is the last thing we want to discuss here.

Yeah, anyone who uses a Mac is stupid. We know but thanks for reminding us again. And what a great logic this is, just because you've bought it, you are bound to like it. WOW! I bought a Nokia 6300 recently and the phone sucks and I admit I made a wrong decision. Buying my MBP, however, was the best decision I ever made in my life. It changed my whole perspective. It made me an author. It saved me from Windows.

BTW, I'm going to ignore any other stupid posts you make, so please address them to someone else.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

sry if already posted:
a feature of mac which is non-existent in other systems(correct me if am wrong):
"Dvorak" and other layouts
...
Computer users also need to unlearn the habit of pressing key shortcuts, ex: Ctrl + C for copy, Ctrl + X for cut, Ctrl + V for paste, on Microsoft Windows). However, some programs and operating systems allow the use of alternate layouts combined with QWERTY shortcuts; for example, Apple's Mac OS X offers a "Dvorak-Qwerty" keyboard layout that temporarily reverts to Qwerty while the Command key is held down.
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#.22Dvorak.22_and_other_layouts
Is this holds for mac now also?

do i need to say naything more :rolleyes: and add to that the fact that some is really proud about writing something which he claims is biased because he decided to add the flaws (which i might add he was so hell bent to say werent flaws) that some people whose posts he has decided to ignore ... what a apple this guy is
