Fuckers. They don't make the 40GB or the 30GB anymore.

Someone should start manufacturing their own knock off with those specs, and steal their business.

Wankers!

^ Thanks for your contribution.

Well, whatever, just means I get less space and they get less of my money.

Fucking apple. Just because they finally got something right for a change they think they can start getting cute.

Apple is currently in the busy process of shooting themselves in the foot. They've decided they're going to abandon all their computing-related stuff in favour of consumer electronics (IE iPods) and try to beat out Sony. Which is plausible, as the iPods have seriously skyrocketed the whole mp3player market.

That being said, currently they're not paying attention to their developers or testers, not helping out any on the tech-support front... basically they're ignoring all the computing side of the industry. The move to intel is another indication of this. Frankly, if I wanted shoddy tech support and lack of customer feedback, I'd be much happier with Windows.

Goodbye Macintosh. You were a smart idea that really started to pick up in recent years. But I say in about 5 years it will have gone the way of BeOS.

Google's the only company that I think would be able to put out a good OS to compete against Win. Ginux, whut? (It could happen... and they'd be the ones to do it well...)

^ John C Dvorak would argue the opposite. He pretty much figures Microsoft is dead in the water with Windows, as it has just become stagnant. He tends to go off on this topic every now and again on the TWIT podcast.

I tend to agree with him on this topic too. The only thing Microsoft has going for them right now is the xbox and their buisness unit, interestingly enough they just split the company into 3 parts.

As weird as it sounds, I wouldn't be suprised if apple started to license their OS within the next 5 years. They just have to come up with a proper buisness model to make money off of it. The lastest version of OS X is miles ahead of windows, with smart folders, spotlight and obviously as you know the UNIX back bone and being able to run those apps.

I would expect to see an increase in attention on the computing side of things in the next 8 - 12 months with the new x86 macs. As everyone knows Apple makes all their money on their hardware, we also know Jobs is an ego maniac and would never let M$ win the OS battle. The Ipod halo effect has also propelled sales of Mac hardware.

I can't comment on their developer support as I'm not a developer but otherwise I'm not sure how they are really ignoring the computing side of things seeing as they just released Tiger.

whats this noise about apple getting out of computing? thats nuts. the whole reason i use macs if for flawless hardware compatibility.post a link to an article that has more info.that would be good.

i fucking love my macs! and mac osx. so simple and elegant to use plus when ever im working on my mac im usally stoned so i find the interface very pretty.i find my workflow is alot easier on a mac. and i love the ipod aside from the bung battery life.

but i still use a pc for internet and soundforge...thats about it.everything elese i do is with the mac!

go apple!

News media hasn't caught on to it. I'm talking about what I've been hearing about from Mac developers... basically that they're being ignored by Apple now. Which I guess is decently standard for most computing companies, but Apple's always been really good at paying attention to its developers - one of the main reasons I think that OSX has been such a success.

I wrote out a big long rant to Leviathan's post there about how Apple may finally admit defeat against Microsoft, but IE crashed on me and I lost it. How ironic.
