whatever, what i feel is MAC is just for a Home use or a personal use. But where as Win and Lin it is used from editing a porn to launching a shuttle Now thats what makes lin and win a pro OS and MAC as just a personal OS.

I don't know much about Steve Jobs, but recently I saw his keynotes and I noticed that, unlike others he didn't show any fake modesty, and after announcing some feature he'd go "Isn't that awesome?" or "How cool is that?" with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old asking his mom about her opinion on a picture he'd drawn. LOL. It was kinda funny. He didn't seem like a CEO. Infact more like a really big mac fan himself.

Yeah. The World Cup 2006 was after all a personal affair...

@ arya, let me finish off few things

Whatever you may argue, well I agree it . But keep in mind that if you select MCA after ur BCA, i bet you will never learn anything regarding Mac in detail. And even after ur MCA, ur platform will be C or whatever and ur workstation will be running win
So, keep in mind that, being humans (we all, including me) must adore each and every OS and their blah blahs.

well, some fun in the middle

You must be kidding, lives of people and billions of $$ and country's respect are at stake !
They all use Real Time Operating System ! And own designed OS at workstation !

@ akshay, well man, i used those words to compare in a funny way

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yeah.. lol !! funny really !! win and lin both crash a 100 times a day at my old system

 

[Gigacore]

@ akshay, thats obvious

I won't.

LOL! I'm going to become an independent Apple developer (which is the collective term used for anyone developing for any of Apple's platforms) one day.

And even after ur MCA, ur platform will be C or whatever

No, it will be Xcode and all the other related tools, based on Objective-C.

and ur workstation will be running win

No, it won't.

You really don't get how serious this is, do you? Sure, I'm going to have to suffer through three years of using Windows in college, but even that will be on Parallels on, hopefully, a MacBook Air.

And as soon as I've gotten reacquainted with the basics of programming, I'll contact some well known Mac developer (which shouldn't be much of a problem now) and ask him to help me out with Xcode and stuff. It's all planned out.

I'm never going back to Windows, mate. Don't worry.

Your best Bet !

@Aayush,

Can you please explain what you mean when you say that apple tends to screw their customers sometimes?

I don't know much about Steve Jobs, but recently I saw his keynotes and I noticed that, unlike others he didn't show any fake modesty, and after announcing some feature he'd go "Isn't that awesome?" or "How cool is that?" with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old asking his mom about her opinion on a picture he'd drawn.

Course he is a fan... he is the CEO of the company for god's sake....

On Maintenance
Not just the need for Firewall, AV, Anti Spywares, defrags; Mac needs a lot less work from our side to keep it going.

On an average my PC used to crash once in every 4 days and a BSOD every 3-4 months. My Mac hardly has crashed more than 3-4 times in the last 6 months.

Home and Personal use? Dude, are you out of your mind? Hollywood studios, Writiers, Photographers, TV/FM studios, all use a Mac. They buy a Mac only for running a single App.

BTW, I dont go by looks

You don't? Half of the posts in the Desktop Screenshot is yours.

Okay, so she's a figment of my imagination.....

@ grudgy, yeah yeah. . . half of the posts in screenshot thread is mine, coz I have lots of themes on machine, which is actually downloaded for my website, so i just try them once which ever i feel is good. and will post a snap

And they all buy MAC, coz its a style statement for them. And can I know that app please?

1) That's really an invalid argument. If I took into account US prices for an equivalent PC, that would turn out to be a lot cheaper as well. The MBP would still cost 80,000 + which is quite a bomb.

2) With reference to putting more work in, as I've said, everything can be automated.

3) Can't comment here. [I refuse to comment on OSX till I actually have some experience of it, to avoid invalid points from my side.]

4) Windows is undoubtedly used in professional scenarios far more than OSX. How can you honestly argue against this?

 

[aditya.shevade]

^^ You are wrong there dude. It is a fact that most movie editing/mixing/graphics related work is done on Macs.

And I think one app means, one app per mac... not a particular S/W.

 

[ring_wraith]

^^ and a very small % of all professional work done using computers is editing/mixing/graphics.

And honestly, if you think that games[graphics] are developed on mac, you're wrong.

 

[drgrudge]

^^ Apps

Final Cut Express Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio, Shake - Hollywood Studios, TV/FM studios

Garageband - Podcasters, FM Studios

Aperture - Photographers

Coda, CSSEdit, TextMate - Coders


For designers, writers and home users (GTD apps, iLife); Mac has the best apps around.
