Someone made a post a while back how MAC is like a cliche trendy thing that started out up north of California, wink wink, and from there... it spreads like a disease. All these "hip" people would all like to get one because it works great with their IPODs, and it looks "Oh So Mygawd cute". And then, just like some religion, blind faith would have its way, and before you know it... it was in every family and it would destroy people's will before they realize what a load of crap it is. Some would be die hard fans would defend it with utmost ignorance, others just simply open their eyes and quitely shun away, forever live in the shadows of their mistakes.

Edit: for all the people that say their MAC is so nice and fast... for the same amount of money, I can certainly build a PC faster, and always will be. So just because you can't.... don't be afraid....... :p

I thought they would say it would be compatible with all Windows based PC games, then i'd be impressed.

Why would you buy such expensive hardware and then run OSS on it? Why not just buy a $399 Dell for that?

Then he can say he's soooooo 31337 that he runs *nix on a Mac. :Disgust;

Actually, i really don't care what others think, i have used Linux for a long time, it is what i use, i like the powerbook, so hang me.

I really, REALLY don't care what people think, if i did i would be running a Dell with Windows. just like you.

Aome people just don't understand.

Yup... that would be my own issue with it. I don't even personally know 1 person with a Mac.

For my major I was required to buy a Mac laptop, so I know quite a few people with them. The whole department uses Macs. I went on and bought my Powerbook this summer b!tching all the way, thinking that is was a HUGE waste of money and that we should just use PC laptops (owned one of them, too).

Well, all I can say is DAMN. Nicest computer I have ever worked on, and it is all mine! 15" 1.5ghz Rev C, 1 gig pc2700 ram, 80 gig 5400rpm hd, 128mb Radeon 9700, and only 1" thick. Hook my 1800fp up to the built in dvi port, plug in my Intuos 2 tablet (to the USB 2 ports on the side mind you, no ports in the back :D), and I am teh Photoshop god! All said, I used to be a mac hater but god do I :heart: my Powerbook.

<-- Hippie graphic design student. :p

Powerbooks ROCK!

Well, it looks interesting, but not "OMG THIS IS UBER AMAZIN STUFF!!!" give MS, and Linux a month and they will have something just like it. Really Macs "New Features that N0body has" are not all that great. I think they have just become another linux OS

It will never become a Linux based OS.

Microsoft has 2 years to do something like it and they still can't.

I'm sorry, but Apple wins this round hands down since Microsoft just announced it's going to be 2 years until they release the next Windows Update and it's not going to have 3 major features in it.

Uh, it's already out there. OS X is based on Darwin, an OPEN SOURCE operating system.

I believe the H.264 codec requires fairly steep hardware, probably at least a single-processor G5.

probably not a current iBook then :(

You'll be holding out for a while. They just released the Rev C G4's and it is estimated to be at least a year before G5's might start showing up in Powerbooks.

Two things.
1) You said you don't care twice
2)I hate dell
3)You are running Linux on a Mac whic cost ~1500+ ? and you could have got something Winx86 and run it on ther for ~$800 or less ?

6 months, depending on IBM. ;)

Unless they use the new G4 from Motorola, which is unlikely.

Cuz when the source code leaks it will be Linux based. :confused:

I don't mind. In fact, it's unlikely I'd be buying the first PowerBook G5 anyhow; I'd rather they work out any kinks first.

Anyhow, having multiple platforms is nice.

1. yes
2. ok
3. well what's with "Tho things" and then a 3.)? But i'll answer it, where can you get a powerbook that is x86? and winx86 is no term that i have ever heard of, what is that?

n0cmonkey was right, some do not understand, i like apples powerbook and i like OSS, so i go Linux on this very nice laptop, on other boxes i have used OpenBSD, on others i have used FreeBSD. Are you seeing the pattern here?

DX10 will ship with longhorn, DX9 is here to stay for quite a while.
