Go Aayush! Let it all out! Finally I'm going to visit the forums again. Other internet boards give a crappy experience. You can't recognise any of the other users and feel very alone. Glad to have this thread reopened.
And aayush, pat on the back, for harassing Nimish and also that quicktime volume trick.

My first post on this thread as the official fanboy of Apple Macs
I'm buy an Apple Macbook Pro within a week or so.
Regarding the Sept. 5th event, Apple had reduced the rates of iPods and giving free iPod with Student's discount so it's the new iPod. Engadget already was reporting this...
P.S: A word of warning. I'm watching this thread. Please, we don't want to have personal attacks or any sort of name calling.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Here is the thing. As long as iPod has no support for DivX/xVid, it will cater to a niche market only. It takes lots of time to convert video to iPod format & on top of that....that format requires quicktime to play in any computer (H.264)....the only thing Apple has left is a good UI which is selling, but damn...sauce on the screen while scrolling through video in Mcdy..thats gross.

and i'm sure you kno the "size" of that "niche market"!!!! the ipod has a brand value attached to it and "that" is what makes it sell rather than "what codecs it support and what it doesn't".gx_saurav said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
the video converting part is a pain in the a$$ believe me u can still work with itunes to transfer ur music but converting videos and then transfering is a very harassing thing to do
@infra: no lin boys allowed only os x users
and thats what we have been trying to say that the ipod sells coz of the half eaten apple at its back and not coz of the features it ahs (actually it has none)
@grudy ki dhamki: the 4 of us here are well above each others name calling

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Yes, we can. (If you follow the word of advice in my last email.)
As good as Mac OS X is, it sometimes does some unexplainable stuff too. Look at what happened to my iTunes Mini Store suddenly yesterday:
*img380.imageshack.us/img380/4155/itunesministoreqd9.th.png
It has never happened before and a relaunch fixed the problem.
@infra_red_dude
Though most people on the Internet agree with you, I personally don't. Though I've always loved the look of Mac OS X, I hate the folder icons in Tiger. Leopard's icons look better to me. But like I said, most people on the Internet hold the opinion that these icons suck.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
hmmm... ayush, icons in particular are not bad.. its the color combo. i prefer bright icons to dull ones. wud be better if an icon theme or jus the option to change colour combo is included out of the box, esp. since those kinda folder icons haf been there since a long time.

Fake Steve's latest:
"iPhone is also creating some demand for support and it's not always stuff we can control since one hundred percent of the problems are created by AT&T. Rest assured we have already come up with a plan to address this -- a massive new ad campaign called "Support" which will depict our Apple geniuses and Apple phone support weenies dancing around in silhouette while answering calls and dealing with frigtarded customers and generally seeming way cooler than you or anyone else ever will be. These people will look so cool, and our whole support experience will seem so fun, that you'll want your Apple device to break just so you can deal with our support infrastructure."
And he made his best post ever a few days ago. I'll post it as soon as I can find it.
Update: Here it is - My Lunch with Fester.
If you haven't, do read it. Highly recommended. Best post ever!

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Here is an awesome quote from TUAW:
"My biggest fear when getting my first Mac was that I didn't want to become an elitist Mac snob - they drove me crazy. But now I realize it's not their fault; when your computing platform is so noticeably better than Windows, it's hard not to get a bit full of yourself."
Exactly what I've been saying for quite a while.
