Apple has done the amazing, once again: Somehow they made a geek toy sexy.
to accept the praise of personal wisdom is an affront to the very ideal i hold dear.
As someone who like photography and technology, I have to say I like the pictures. A reviewer of the G5 put it best when he said that it had a "brutal austerity". I think these photos capture it beautifully.
Sorry to troll, but does anyone here actually know anything at all about acoustics? Anything? For example, what an A-Weighting curve might be? For example, dbA vs. dB? Or how about Sound power measurements vs. sound pressure measurements? Anyone know a damn thing about ISO Acoustical standards? No? Then quit trying to pretend you know jack shit about it, just because you know how to write hacked, bastardized code and play FPS games. Leave the engineering to engineers, and just post that you don't know the answer to this guy's question.
To mac lovers like myself raw processing power does not matter. It is nice that again the mac is kicking ass compared to the average PC, but that isn't too important. The thing is that the mac allows you to get your work done without crashing every 30 seconds. Macs let you work without needing to know anything about the stuff underneath, which is something that both windows and linux have been lacking. And it looks sexy too. I think that the fact that mac users find their computers sexy telling, as they love their machines, which is something that most users simply do not do.
No. Or perhaps yes, in that the fetish holds the greater power.
I dare you to find me a man who enjoys the Mona Lisa a tenth as much as the fetishist enjoys a woman's shoe.
I remember a Mac commercial, for the iBook I believe, where Ken Nordine did a voiceover, asking "Is it possible to fall in love with a computer?" Yes it is. For the average Mac user, this seems to be the norm. And I envy them the consistently wonderful thing they have in their lives. I have my Linux^W UnixWare and the freedom it brings me, but I can't say I've ever felt so strongly as the Mac users do about their boxes cum lifestyle.
As a friend of Mr. Noll, I feel I should mention that he also sells Macs through his company, Neoview.

However, this is not really mass market retail. His clientele is fairly exclusive. (big name musicians and publishing)
are we gonna see a G5 Slashdot icon on these stories or what? It's not a G4 like the topic icon shows here on the headline. Try this:

Those who laugh at you for you having a Mac.. are the people who constantly call you to fix their PC.
Isn't it a bit like asking if modern cars are so good looking to cover up the fact that they don't fly?

Bozo. You dont think the PC world is any better, do you? My Antec with the front fans and the nice little filter in front gets clogged in 2 weeks time, and it still does'nt keep the fine crap out. Apple's solution is 10X times better. There's no chance it will ever overheat unlike all these Chieftec and Antec cases. When the front fan filter gets blocked on one of them, look out. And those are the BEST PC cases.
Anyone that does not take a can of compressed air to their machine every 3 or 4 months and blow all that shit outa there deserves what they get, which is usually a fried CPU.
The exact opposite is true from what you suggest. It's the PC cases that present a danger, not Apples.
