Also, they don't have the problem that Android has, with every hardware manufacturer skinning the OS with its own second-rate applications (until you decide to root the device.)


So true. Google has completely missed the boat when it comes to delivering a streamlined user experience with Android. Simply by allowing every fucking idiot to ship their own flavor of it.

(apart from it being a trainwreck due to running a Java VM on otherwise limited devices)

doomdoom: mac is OS X, the hardware is just a lump of stuff around it.
there is still a reason to buy a mac :)

Not when that lump of stuff costs up to 1.5x more for pretty much exactly the same components.

smash, ringofyre doesn't know what xcode is.

Right you are skrebbel - I haven't really used a mac since high school (aside from fiddling with some old g3s hand me downs to see what the fuss was about. Hence I wouldn't know what an Apple IDE was. I do however know what nasm, masm, nano and ddd are. ;P

I've also just noticed that none of use are using the "post hashes" rather that quoting. I guess you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

Well if you've got money to burn - buy a pc instead and give the balance to Greece.

I find this discussion super ironic when coming from a scene that strongly defended the amiga vs the PC a certain number of years back :)

knos: well, it's not ironic in the sense that it's probably not the same people who defended Amiga who prefers Macs now. :)

ON MY MAC!

..

the whole discussion it fubar :) who gives a shit what people use.. it's just a tool, what matters is what you do with the tool you choose.

I had an amiga way after most people had switched to PC. They were strange days.. the amiga was still actually better than the PC at lots of stuff (this was when people were using p133s with win95), but it was mostly the stuff that people weren't that interested in. It ended up with a minority of people using it because it made more sense still, and a majority of zealots who were just refusing to accept that times had changed.

I bet we'll see those times again in a few years :)

ringo: how about if the hardware costs 1.5x more, but costs 90% less to run, and sells for 3x more when you upgrade? How about if it's built much better, from a solid piece of metal instead of lots of bits of shiny plastic? I'd say macs are expensive to buy, but actually pretty good value.

It's not so simple as looking at the spec sheet - which is about the worst way to buy something anyway. If you just go by the spec sheet you end up buying a gokart as your family car, and claiming a ferarri is worse than a big truck because it has a smaller engine.

Damn straight. You know what the next big thing is going to be, right? Full-screen touch interfaces, HTML5 applications, app stores... I'll gladly be an oldschool zealot again if it comes to that.

Isn't that what the term "brand" means?
