Welcome to the forums. :)

Please head over to P&N for your welcome packet.

(My apologies to whoever I just stole that line from. :) )

A few articles on Apple, and a mention or two on Anand's blog doesn't mean that AT will be turning Mac. Besides, he's merely going over other hardware that's out there...

Definition: Troll - A purposely stupid, inflammatory, or downright wrong article (closely related to flamebait). Its purpose is to get people mad and make them look stupid and gullible.

Factually, was anything I posted wrong? Does this thread seem like an attempt to get people mad? I'm only asking a question,

you basically bashed apple outright. so yes, you're a troll. And your question was answered many times, anand wants to take a look at apple, and is curious. and no, this will not become a mac site, because, as you stated, apple doesn't push something out that's brand spankin new every 6 months. and to add.. blog != article, so a couple of apple articles vs how many non-apple ones? exactly.

hardware is hardware, whether it's wintel or apple.

Duh, I think since Apple have had a succes with the iPod, some pc users have been curious to see what apple delivers in their computer area. So I think it was a nice eye opener to get a review of how the OS X feels for a hardcore pc user. Same could be said for any other OS and hardware.

There's little to no content to address. Very few of us has a macintosh, do we seem to care if Anand is exploring the platform? Sure, there are some that bltch and moan about it (like you), but they are even more few and far between than those who have macs.

Because the Mac is the best computer in the world. It's a supercomputer all in one tiny box. They constantly push the envelopes of hardware, software and even fashion which is extremely important in society. It's no wonder Anand who is as brilliant as one can be will choose to adopt and praise the Macintosh.

Uhh...ok.
With a tiny user base, overpriced everything, misleading advertising, and slow adoption of the technologies I listed in my first post, Apple doesn't deserve the attention they've gotten.

I thought I did. Four articles about Macs do not make this a Mac site.
