Marc Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 And thats just a pure example of bollocks mac people will believe. Your mac has a harddrive, moving parts, just like any computer in the world, it can and eventually WILL fail. The same goes for fans, etc inside the machine, its not a case of it "just works" its a case that one day, like like on any computer, it will fail.

Phill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think what Kabz was trying to say, is that they use quality hardware, not cheap as opposed to someone like Dell. Use a cheap HD and it's likely it will fail sooner, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Companies will apply for patents on anything they can, to give them leverage over a another company. Like Apple patented a technique of trapping objects and sealing in plastic, like on the white iMacs, which Microsoft uses on the Zune, so Microsoft have to pay Apple royalties.

Phill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Google getting ready to release its own browser, interesting! It'll be bassed of Webkit, the rendering engine Safari uses, so it's all W3C compliant, nice stuff! Also a feature I'm most excited about Each tab in the browser will be its own separate running process. For example, if JavaScript hangs in one tab, the other tabs will remain unaffected. The approach is similar to the way Mac OS X isolates applications in their own private areas to prevent one crash from taking down the whole system.Funny, since we were talking about that the other day. The browser will be released Wednesday and be called "Chrome" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 So a program has never froze? Hung? Unexpectedly quit? Lagged? Committed a pretty suicide? Lies!Amazingly happens to me all the time on macs whenever I use them. Oh yeah, they're not designed to be networked. Useless piece of s**t they are to me then.Edit: *has just skipped 4 pages to reply to this* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Firstly, when have school computers ever been great. Secondly, their networked, so like ahem, the Windows machines at our school, they'll be slow. If they're running that bad then it's your networks admin fault. Not to mention the school probably opted for the low end models, which Apple don't even sell direct to the consumer, because of how low end they are. Either that, or they're old.
