I've seen it running the new Need For Speed; it seemed OK. Either way; more of Apple unnecessary inventions: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/apple_introduces_revolutionary

Right. I understand technology must evolve throughout attempts and whatnot. I also understand we are entering on a new phase; and just like the post-war period where a lot of unnecessary gadgets were invented, we too will be going that way pretty soon. What is REALLY fucking me up is how Apple is pricing this "attempts" to cross the limits. It's okay to pay for a OS and hardware, but we shouldn't ---in absolutely no way--- have to pay for their own will to experiment further.

Sure. Apple wants to always be a step further, and I understand and appreciate that (to a certain extent!) ---But hell no, this is getting wary-out of hand. I'm seriously considering dropping my faith on Macintosh/Apple. I've been a frequent user since my early 5, and have always stood side by side with their goals and evolution. Shit is falling apart now, shit is damned falling apart.

I still remember running on Mac OS 3.5 (most people in this forums probably never had a hand at it). It was a terminal-like OS running black and white. And then, not after too long (and after consecutive FREE OS updates), they launched 5.7. They revolutionised the notion of OS, introducing colour, a new drag & drop file management, etc. And did we have to pay for it, did we did we? No! Because Mac was all about open-source and free software! Obviously, as a company and enterprise, they somehow have to round a considerable amount of profit, but what they are doing now is unacceptable. Back in time, you'd never see Apple actually making money out of a OS release such as 10.5 to 10.6, no matter how further they worked on it! You would pay for an upgrade from Mac OS 7 to Mac OS 8. Anything inbetween would be for free; then again, not mattering how much the system had been enhanced. And I'm only covering the software differences here; Hardware got even worse. Apple doesn't own faster processors anymore, no better MBs, no better Graphic Cards/Monitors ---none of their old ace cards are on the table anymore, yet they still highjack their prices!

I am a 100%-supportive Apple user and I am greatly disappointed.
Considering a move-over to Windows 7, oh that I am.

At this point; Fuck Apple.

Not only is typing slower, as you are also dragged off of the possibility of multi-tasking.

They did create several points of reference throughout the wheel, though.

Technically, you can press several areas of the wheel at the same time; but ----

Dare I say Windows Vista came at the right time to make them look bad and now Windows 7 a true masterpiece came at another good time.

Mystery to Windows Vista revealed.

Congratulations; You have brought the quality of this discussion a hundred notches down.

Meh.

Either way; Some more interesting read.

Apple's rivals at present, are: Google, Nokia and Adobe.

Also; Remember me talking about Apple producing their own chips/CPUs, Nate? I've read rumours it might actually happen, as they have now bought yet another factory.
