They have been posting Quicktime movies all week. Macworld was a lot smaller this year and had very few announcements, but if you couldn't or didn't choose to go, they sum up the show for you."
may crap my pants. Question: how many windows systems have the styling to inspire furniture as out there as this? Personally, I like the little glowing butt added to the iMac. pretty funny stuff.

Dear Apple:
I bought an Apple computer because of its native support for teledildonics. I bought a USB FUFME and MacOS immediately recognized it and installed drivers instantly! As a gay Catholic priest who often can't be at the altar all the time, you can understand how the ability to have sex with children whilst on the airplane with my Powerbook and wireless internet service is a lifesaver.
I just have a single question, will Apple be releasing a firewire version of the FUFME anytime soon?
With much gayness,
Father Michael "Arminass" Sims
Haven't you realized it yet?
Mac zealot mods r teh ghey. Much like mac users.
Also anyone who mods this as Troll, Flamebait, Offtopic, or Overrated is also teh ghey.
Moding this as Informative will get your a prize.*
*You will not actually recieve a prize.
This was my first Macworld (and probably not my last), and I had fun, as did the Linux-geek-who-loves-OSX that I went with. I was kind of disappointed that Adobe didn't have a booth of their own (nor a beta of After Effects 6.0), but it was cool enough just to mess around with huge Photoshop files on a G5... my God those things are fast (and they're also really quiet!). Also, to see Expose in action was really something... it makes all those screenshots I've seen previously all that more believable.
Oh, and the presentation by Fischerspooner was fun... I think they may have a new fan here ^_^
You are teh ghey mod.
Goodbye.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Windows fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a PC running Windows (a P4 2.4 GHz w/512 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Beige G3/233 MHz running MacOS 9.1, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this PC, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Internet Explorer will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Notepad is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various PCs with Windows, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Windows PC that has run faster than its Mac counterpart, despite the PC's faster clock speed. My Powerbook 100 with 4 megs of ram runs faster than this 3 GHz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Windows PC is a superior machine.

i think there was 1 post here on topic. i have no idea why PC people who never even hear of this event, much less been to it are posting here. i guess this is more fun then jerking off to them. slow night?
yes, mod this down. its not worthy.
nobody's gonna fuckin' buy that one when you post it to every friggin' apple story -- twice even!
if you want to bait people, you have to bait them with something they haven't seen before.
dickhead.
Guess I gotta go to the Apple Store in SoHo to dirty up a G5.
I am a believer of momentum and curves.
