No, I just plain don't like Bored Tomatoe because of a thread that seems to think a product is bad due to the way it is addressed to the public, that and he spelt tomato wrong. |

I never said the product was bad, I take it that you are a mac fanboy, don't worry, no one is going to hurt Steve Jobs. And I am aware of my misspelling.Troll. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 179 Joined: 10 Oct 2007    | I forgot to mention, that while I don't use a Mac, I do quite like those ads. I think the PC ones out now are good too, mostly because it's a nice counter-attack. Apple were freely saying "Macs are great and fun and cool, PC's are rubbish and boring and eeewww", and "PC" have just come along to say "That's incorrect", without being as blatant as Apple were with the PC bashing, they did their "bashing" by merely imitating the style of the adverts. |

I spent almost 20 times less on my gaming/audio PC at home compared to the Mac Pro I use at work every day and...I greatly prefer my home PC for recording music, creating media, hell, doing everything compared to the Mac Pro I use at work. Just goes to show it all boils down to preference and intelligence. User was banned for: Microsoft and the World Domination of Gaming&Communication. (Permanent) |

Actually, due to heavy subsidies (or Cupertino black magic), it's much cheaper to buy a Mac Pro than to build your own octo-core Xeon system. But that's honestly a huge waste of money the majority of the time anyway. User was banned for: Microsoft and the World Domination of Gaming&Communication. (Permanent) |

I'm really not a fanboy, as I explained in the section of my post that you decided not to quote in order to tilt the argument in your direction. Also, why spell it wrong then? Isn't it obvious that knbheads like me will call you on it? |

I didn't realize it until the account had been created, I don't seem to understand why you hate me though... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1191 Joined: 26 Jun 2008  | I never really enjoyed macs, but I hate the commercials. They lie so much. But what commercaials are people talking about that Microsoft riped of Apple? The Mojave thing wasn't a rip off it was actually quite interesting. Oh and as for creative things, there isn't a single Mac in my schools art department. |

Possibly for the same reason I put an h on the end of my name, because we felt like it? |

Apple isn't the only computer company that sells octo-core systems. I've seen other ones that were much cheaper. Plus the RAM that they sell in those systems costs 500$ for 4 gigs, and its the same kind on newegg or compusa or tigerdirect. |

I agree on the hardware front; it makes by far the biggest difference with recording. In fairness,i can bitch all day about how many professionals prefer what computers, but the one thing they probably all have in common is that they all use good quality mics, mixers, FX etc. |

It's cheaper at the base level, but at a certain point, I think that the Mac components become more expensive than the self-build, particularly regarding graphics cards. Eventually, the PC builds by the likes of HP will out-pace the Mac Pro by a long distance as well. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 110 Joined: 19 Dec 2008  | Horses for courses, I reckon. Every windows notebook I've owned has bricked on me within 3 months, and that's with light use. Got a MacBook for uni and got on great with it, and luckily all the specialist chem software I need runs native. That said, I own XP and Vista rigs for gaming and general use, and an iMac for course related work when I'm not on campus. Even break out *gasp* Unix for a spot of functional programming now and then. Anyone arguing that one platform is the be all and end all is a tool as far as I'm concerned. *blinks* Oh, the ads? Both Apple and Microsoft came up with shit for them, seriously. Not like I've ever bought anything based on advertising. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 600 Joined: 17 Apr 2008  | There not as bad as the new microsoft "i'm a pc" adverts. I'm a pc, and I'm desperately trying to convince people I'm down with it |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2893 Joined: 6 Mar 2008  | I kind of like the ads, they're pretty funny. I like the two actors too, especially John Hodgman (the PC), he's great. Has anyone else seen him on the Daily Show? And he also wrote a hilarious book - The Areas of My Expertise. It's a "reference" book that, among many others, has a section detailing the period when the Hoboes attempted to overthrow the US Government. Definitely worth checking out. |

Muckraker  Posts: 345 Joined: 14 Dec 2008     | Wait they were ads to get people to buy macs? That's odd; it seems the only thing they (the commercials) did was make the ignorant boycott Vista. If Macintoshes are so great they'd be advertising something about how Macintoshes are great, and not how a certain competitive OS has certain issues (which have mostly been fixed with the service pack) with certain settings on. Obviously if you put all the pretty sparkly effects on vista, it'll run slow. Obviously, with a new operating system, you're bound to have a few compatibility issues. There is nothing a mac can do that a PC cannot. There's no point in buying a mac if you're just going to use Windows on it anyway. |
