I do not get the grievance. I consider it a service to inform people that you can buy OSX for twenty dollars cheaper on Amazon then Apple. To me, unlike most news, that is useful. Quote: Originally Posted by SpamSandwich Although the debate co…

I agree. There are plenty of great things to give Microsoft a hard time over. Yet, this doesn't seem like one of them. I have tried every word processor out there for the Mac (at least I think I have), and Office is still the best. Office 2008 solve…

I's not a Microsoft fan, but to say iWork's whips Office 2004 seems like a bit of a stretch. Better in some ways? Sure. There are a lot of nice things about iWorks. I love Keynote, and prefer it over Powerpoint. However, this is mostly because I thi…

That is BS. The Office deal is a good one. Having played with the Beta, the Office Suite is much nicer then the current one. I am looking forward to its release (or for somebody else to come up with something better). I am not a big Microsoft fan, b…

I think I get what you are saying. According to you, Apple essentially took the Santa Rosa architecture and customized it. For the most part, it is the Santa Rosa, but it is missing something that supposedly (accordingly to the less then reliable W…

I actually do not think Apple is charging people more strictly because it can. Sure, that is part of it. However, I suspect market research tells Apple most people would opt for black if given the opportunity at the same price point as the white. To…

Nice link, but it doesn't explain why what is included in the Mac Book is not the Santa Rosa platform. By reading the information contained in the link, the opposite seems to be confirmed: namely Apple is using Santa Rosa (as media groups are also s…

Here is a link for you that states the opposite: http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html It says, "Processor and memory 2.0GHz or 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor 4MB shared L2 cache running at full processor speed 800MHz frontside bus 1G…

I am not disputing the correctness of what you are saying, but you should take issue with the media, as every single source I have read refers to the architecture in the Macbook Pros and now the MacBooks as Santa Rosa. Currently, both of Apple's not…

There really is no way to tell if Canadians are being screwed. For instance, when Apple buys the parts to make the MacBooks and pays the labor, this is generally done in one currency. Probably dollars, but maybe something else. If Apple paid in doll…

There is nothing wrong with plastic notebooks if made properly. The clam shell iBooks were probably some of the sturdiest notebooks ever made. However, in the case of the Macbook, I might agree with you. The iBook and the Mac Book are made from the …

Perhaps, but the real issue for Apple is would doing what you suggest take sales from the other two more expensive Macbook models? Apple obviously would prefer to sell the more expensive models because the profit is higher. In my view, you are r…

Well, Fair-Use may let you encode it for Apple hardware. However, it wouldn't let you remove the ads. In essence, by doing that you would be creating a derivative work without permission. Don't get me wrong, I support your sentiment. Quote: …

There are additional features included in Leopard that weren't initially revealed when Leopard was first shown. The problem is Jobs merely said there were features that Apple was keeping quiet. People took this to mean these features would be earth …

I will get it when I buy a new computer, but I really do not see anything that I really need. I like the design changes. That will be fun. However, most of the features are really just eye candy.

Well, being that France is the fashion capital of the world, and that people there like to spend money on fashionable products, I suspect Apple disagrees with you. Apple wants the market. Can it make it happen, well that is another story. Quote:…

I agree. More importantly, supporting Amazon is voting to support Universal's attack on Apple. Apple wants easy to understand pricing, and voiced supported for DRM free music when companies like Universal loudly said no to DRM free music. After APpl…

Resist the poison. I have nothing against Amazon. I use it for books, and products all the time. However, you are supporting Universal when you buy music from Amazon. Universal is sucking you in now to hurt you later. Quote: Originally Posted by…
