QUOTE(INFeRNO @ Apr 6 2006, 10:17 AM) Here's a tiny bit of trivia for all you mac fanatics out there: While we're at citing old meaningless quotes, here's a good one:"The PC wars are over, Done" says Steve Jobs. "Microsoft won a long time ago." - quoted from Fortune magazine in 1996. Sourced from this article = http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/05/ap...ndows_timeline/  "The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade." - Wired magazine, February 1996. And then OS X was released in the following decade (2001), SPOT ON! |

Dude you need to calm down, Apple making life easier for some people to install Windows on their Macs doesn't mean they're gonna produce cheap quality Macs in the future. They know what they're doing.
Anyway, I like how Apple lets you install Windows on its machines and openly mocks it at the same time. QUOTE EFI and BIOS Niceeeeee.Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can operate smoothly in both centuries. Word to the Wise Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it'll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes. |

QUOTE(Eithanius @ Apr 6 2006, 02:41 PM) now i'm even more desperate to get at least a dual G5.... Just so you know, Gear Live put the new MacBook Pro (2GHz Intel Core Duo with 1GB of RAM) head-to-head against a Dual G5 PowerMac (2GHz G5 with 4.5GB of RAM) to see which computer would come out on top in a Java compiling test, and the MacBook Pro wins (Result: 32 seconds vs 50 seconds). But obviously you don't care. Have fun with your G5. |

No no no, to you owning a Mac isn't about speed, don't speak for the rest of the Mac users in the world.
By the way, wasn't lecturing you tiger. Chill. This post has been edited by aaronchin: Apr 6 2006, 01:12 PM |

Instead of getting paranoid, why don't you learn how to protect your system? I've used Windows for many years and my computer only got infected with virus once, and that was back in the 5.25" floppy days. You really shouldn't worry too much about viruses on Mac, if you know your stuff.

QUOTE(WisePrince @ May 17 2006, 07:24 PM) man... not a good news for me.. apple is not a pure apple anymore.. (or issit because i hate microsoft?) Having been a Mac user for years, I know exactly what you mean. I still remember people going ga-ga over my first generation iPod years ago when it was a novelty, and now everyone has an iPod. But then good things are meant to be shared, I'm just glad more and more people are using Mac now. more and more people using apple.. it means apple brand is not only for executive like years before.. i cant proud using apple because millions of ppl are using it to...  Hey if you're proud just because of a piece of hardware, don't you think that's a little pathetic? |

The way I do it is that, I put all my songs in my Mac partition, installed MacDrive on Windows and have iTunes on Windows accessing the same folder in the Mac partition.
