  • [quote]But how can anyone stand it's cheap atmosphere? Do you know they turn over half a million employees a year? I do not like going to places where the faces are always new and unexperienced, albeit they are fairly unskilled jobs. This, I don…

    in Not "Getting it" Comment by xmoger June 2002
  • Apple needs to reverse this trend to avoid niche-ness. More support for OSX is important. Steve said ~90% still run OS9.

  • X-box live is what's interesting. If they can create online communities with integrated forums and IM chatting, then it COULD be a killer-app. [quote]Do you think this from reading the article or know this from past articles ( links would be gr…
    in Microsoft Bombs Comment by xmoger June 2002
  • I'm pretty sure hmurchison and rubberducky mean that the GUI would be 'hardware accelerated", like how dvd, audio, 3d can be accelerated by special hardware(not the cpu). MS has said that those without supported hardware, could run in software em…

    in What do you think about the new Panasonic e-wear? Comment by xmoger May 2002
  • Expensive, definitely. The same as Dell or other OEM's, nope. I don't have first-hand experience with Alienware, but I did win a falcon-northwest(similar company, but no matching component colors) system last year. They make up a personalized man…
    in If you think Apple products are too expensive... Comment by xmoger April 2002
  • [quote]And for playback...what? iTunes plays mp3s...so does WinAMP. I don't really see how WinAMP is better in that regard. True, there is only so much quality that a decoder can sqeeze out of mp3s. Itunes has nice song management and OOB cd-burni…
    in I know it's a PC, but geez... Comment by xmoger April 2002
  • [quote]One thing that is sucking hard is MP3 players. I encoded a little with Media Player (at a limit of 192 kbps of course), haven't found a good MP3 ripper yet. Nothing at all matched iTunes for ease of use, that's for sure... Most people don't …
    in I know it's a PC, but geez... Comment by xmoger April 2002
  • Why do some people try to express some sort of lifestyle through their computer purchase? It may have been valid when big blue was trying to control the PC market and apple's were used by hobbyists, but I don't get it now. linux user: I'm l33t, …

  • Let's not let the fact that tivo or other apps cache our behaviour, or that it provides usefull features get in the way of our rage. Maybe these options should be turned off by default, but it's the same way with most software & websites. Ev…

  • [quote]Nope. Not gonna work. People would just take the stuff and keep their PCs. People are takers. Exactly. Stay with windows Drop $50-100, get all the significant software unique to mac's, keep your machine, peripherals, and software, go…
    in How Apple could grow mindshare EXPONENTIALLY Comment by xmoger January 2002
  • It mainly depends on the DAE speed of the cd/dvd drive. Encoding from the hard drive would be a better comparision. Later tracks can rip faster because the outer edge of the CD moves faster under the read head at the same rotation speed.

  • [quote]This is an Apple made myth. OSX is Apple's best effort in copying Windows NT. Microsoft knew they couldn't live off a dos shell forever so they introduced NT, something businesses could use. With 2k and XP they are marketing those same fe…
