W0OT! This is my favorite Mac commercial spoof to date. 😎 I had my girlfriend watch it and she laughed her ass off at the bit where the guy is on the floor crying, beating his Mac. 😀

Sorry, must've rubbed off from the unwashed masses welcoming Julie. 😛

Yeah, this was the first Mac spoof that I honestly laughed out loud at.

Repost, but damn worth it!

Yeah, it is.

It's funny because it's true.

My school has these "Top of the Line" G4's (from 3 freakin' years ago.) When they had OS9, I'd crash them at least once a day, running photoshop, dreamweaver, and illustrator. When they went to OSX, it was twice or more daily.

A day never passed that I didn't give my prof hell about Macs and brag about my XP uptimes which stretched into the weeks.

Judging by that picture, you pissed off a redhead.

Nice knowing you. 😉

So a three-year old computer that has been sitting in a computer lab should be the measuring stick for a computer's stability?

My ancient P133 FTP server, from a mess of seven-year-old parts cobbled together in haste, has a current uptime of just over 24 days, running NT4 Server.

Owned.

Up until I finally splurged and bought an Athlon, MB, and RAM, my system was a PIII 500 MHz, running on a BE-6. Which, would be 4 years old. And it was more stable, and FASTER, than the 400 MHz G4's they were running.

It was pathetic. Utterly pathetic. But hey, that's Apple. Pathetic is what they do best.

Yeah, and my corporate email server running redhat 7.2 has an uptime of over a year.

And my NT4 primary domain controller has an uptime of over a year.

And my old Mac running OS X has an uptime of over a year.

You set your computer up yourself, right? You don't let 15 college kids log on to it directly (other than FTP) and do anything to it, right? That is the point I was trying to make. Windows machines in the same environment as the Apple that he is basing his opinion on would suffer from the same issues.

The difference is YOU built the computer and YOU are the primary user of the computer. Put any computer (Apple, PC, etc) in a college computer lab and you will see the same problems.

You are comparing Apples and oranges (excuse the pun 😀)

The college kids cannot install software. They cannot modify system settings. The computer, and its hardware/software configuration, stay the same in this lab.

Yet it is unstable. I'll take a Windows machine booting off a fixed network drive any day of the week to the crapshoot they're running.

Regardless of whether my example was valid or not, the truth is the only domain Apple STILL has control over is high-end video editing, because the companies that make the software haven't seen fit to release a PC version.

The day they do is the day Apple has not a niche left to fill, and they day they are forced to start tailoring their OS's for the X86 architecture because they'll no longer be able to supply hardware that's worth the PCB it's printed on.

Hmm ... lower-clocked, high cost, overhyped for the performance it gives ... Yeah, it'd be perfect Apple material.

Shenanigans. We had dozens of W2K/XP boxen in the labs at university last term. Not once did I have to go down there, and not one complaint logged regarding unstable machines.
