First of all like i said in my topic summary im not a apple fan boy in fact i have never purchased any kind of apple product, not because there are not good, i just didnt have a use for them and also the fact that their a bit more expensive held me back.

I have no use for an ipod since i hate listing to music through head phones and as far as mac computers, while the are sweet looking i still feel like i can do more with the PC, im more familiar with it and i get to pick my own hardware and built it my self.

macbooks looked pretty sweet but again somewhat more expensive and i could do the same with a 600 dollar dell.

I was watching this video:

I think apple in general is headed in the right direction. It also seems that steve jobs is a better speaker than bill gates and less creepy lol dont know what it is about bill but he creeps me out lol.

Who knows 5 years from now we might all be using macs.....

Than again linux might be the top operating system.

Steve? Humble? Methinks you should watch "Pirates of Silicon Valley" and read up on Steve's past.

supposedly he mellowed down after he got cancer. he was known for being a bit of a prick before.

After watching his keynote, I felt like he wasn't really presenting his product and more of bragging how great his company is.


well you have to remember he's talking to the apple faithful and the press...and well ..it wasn't too long ago that apple was in the sh*tter you know. so yes they are proud.

talk to any apple employee ><

stories of people getting fired for saying hello to him since he wants to be 'treated like a regular guy'. He has asked people what they do for him, and regardless of what they do if they dont present themselves well.. *axe*

of course just rumors... still what a crazy sounding guy.

If I show you a video of Pol Pot speaking about the sacredness of life, would you thing hes a nice and humble guy too?

:p

Of course, I'm not saying Jobs is the devil, but come on, you saw one video and assume he's a nice and humble guy when all I've heard of him is the opposite. But who knows, maybe he changed.
