Steve Jobs Dead

[fiveteamer]

All this Apple shit is a new phenomenon. Ten years ago APPL was a $6 stock and the only people using Macs were the kids in the slow classes.

I always think of Matty when I watch this Mac Parody

The parody was actually quite relevant during the iMac days


Good stuff

I had an iMac running MacOS 9 at my first job out of college. Fun bit of hardware, horrible horrible OS.

Oh, that fucking hockey puck mouse too? That was an abomination. Holy carpal tunnel syndrome.

I remember that being true in 1st grade. They had rows of Macintoshes that we never got to use.

Dude... in '98 even Carrie on Sex And the City had a Powerbook. Many of us have been using Macs long before the teenyboppers and hipsters got hooked on iPods and iPhones. We actually had Mac labs at my university.

GF uses a Macbook Pro at work along with all the other scientists. They use the X terminal to run scripts on the servers that do the actual work.

My parents bought an Apple IIgs when I was in first grade. It cost $3,000 or something ridiculous. It didnt even have a hard drive, everthing booted from those big black floppy disks.

I will say that ipods rock. I bought mine five years ago and it cost me a week's worth of wages and I still use it errday. My only gripe with Apple shit is that it is all excessively overpriced. I bought an android phone for roughly 1/4 of the price of an iphone. Apple I guess is a master of taking advantage of people's brand loyalty.

good product

people die

rip

great news about your mom matty. all the best.

This is precisely the nonsense I'm tired of hearing.

You can buy a fucking MacBook Pro for $1100 at Best Buy right now.

And that's not even mentioning screen quality, durability etc etc etc

OK let me update the prices. Why do I want to spend $1100 on a MacBook when I can spend $400 on a Toshiba Satellite that will last the same? Tell me what I can do with MacBook Pro that I can't so with a Toshiba Satellite and still have $700 in my pocket.

Only 56 and gone! RIP Steve!

Sad stuff. My father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 3 weeks ago and it has already spread to his stomach. Horrible fucking disease.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs!!!

You can look cool pavy.

Apple must have some hypnotic shit going on. 2 years ago Id never touched one. Now I have like 5 plus ipad and iphone and am at the moment doing most all my work on my old sony PC laptop. Why did I buy all this crap?

When I'm no longer at my other job, I probably won't buy a Mac again. It's all I've really used for years but the PC I now use for SBR completely covers everything I need a computer to do in my daily life. And I refuse to spend $800 on an iPad my son will just murder in a few weeks anyway. Saving my SBR points for it instead. I do like my iPhone though...I'll stick with it for quite awhile.

I like my ipad. Emily likes to play with it and then stand on it. Im sure its gonna break.

I like my macs too, mostly pissed that my mac mini server died on me, and these idiots here cant fix it. I will use macs for pictures, web stuff, family stuff, but next computer i get is gonna be a pc for work.

 

[Tron]

And I refuse to spend $800 on an iPad

Damn that's a lot of coin. I'm considering buying the iPad2 for $499 (16G).

 

[Matty]

iPad is way too expensive for this furious typist. Cool gadget but not useful enough for the price. I would like to try a $199 Kindle Fire though.
