Apple Product Cycle Explained

Out of the blue, somebody writes a hack that facilitates the unholy combination and offers it as $39 shareware. Seven of the nine people who actually try to use the hack download it off of BitTorrent and use a pirate serial number. Advocates point to this as an example of how independent Mac software development is thriving.

:shocked:

Very funny.

Dell or Sony or Microsoft releases a competing device which costs $100 less and is based on completely incompatible, Windows-only technology. Business Week declares Apple's dominance of the [insert gadget here] space over. Angry Mac zealots make plans to surround Business Week's corporate offices with torches and pitchforks until someone points out that fire and garden tools are so un-digital.

:laugh:

"eBay is flooded with six-month-old, slightly used gadgets as college students, underemployed web designers and independent musicians struggle to clear credit card space."

Hahahahahaha.

 

[ColdFusion718]

Nerd porn threads appear in the Mac forums. Some lunatic with too much time and money on his hands disassembles the new device down to the bare, soldered components and posts pictures.

:thumbsup:

The forums are ablaze with vitriolic rage. Haters pan the device for being less powerful than a Cray X1 while zealots counter that it is both smaller and lighter than a Buick Regal. The virtual slap-fight goes on and on, until obscure technical nuances like, ?Will it play multiplexed Ogg Vorbis streams?? become matters of life and death.

LOL. Funny stuff.

i've never read a mac forum, but it's not hard to imagine it being like that.

LOL that is great.

The only thing they forgot to mention were the thousands of posts from Mac zealots bragging how much faster their G5's were than Intel systems based off of some obscure Photoshop or NASA calculation benchmarks. You know.... the posts that suddenly stopped the day Steve Jobs announced that they're switching to Intel processors

 

[Goosemaster]

decent

good read

 

[remagavon]

LOL this is actually fairly accurate. I wish macs were cheaper so people wouldn't feel the need to blindly defend them against every criticism.

I love macs, even still.

What a waste of a Friday night. I should be doing anything but reading that boring website.

The author has been an Apple user since 1984. During that time, he has owned an Apple IIe, an Apple IIgs, a Mac SE/30, a Mac Quadra 660AV, a PowerComputing PowerCenter 150, and a Power Mac G3/350 (Blue & White). He currently uses a Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 and a 12" PowerBook G4. In spite of his loyalty to the platform, he finds most "Mac people" to be tiresome and annoying. He is pretty sure that if he had to attend WWDC or Macworld, he would wind up slapping the sh!t out of a bunch of people. When not attempting to cobble together funny things to put on the Internet, the author works at a diversifed energy marketing and trading company. The author resides in the fine city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
