Can't wait to find out what they announce next week!"

  1. Price? by jshaped · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Great... but why don't they also decrease the price of entry?
    - they could easily sell the older models at a decrease price.
    I would love to try a Mac, but they still don't have any try-me prices.
    (yes, I know there's the mac mini, but from what I've read, I don't consider it to be fully representative of what apple and OSX can offer.)

    That's what the world needs...a computer by Apple that runs only software written by Apple. Oh wait...we pretty much have that now.

  3. You can't get difference in Aperture v PS unless.. by gsfprez · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you do not shoot 500 pictures or more at a family gathering "because you can" - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you do not have a camera body that costs over $1200 or if you don't understand what "camera body" means - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If the idea of spending twice as much money on a single lens than what you paid for your camera body or your car seems totaly insane - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you think 5000 pictures is a lot of pictures - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you have absolutely no problem deleting pictures you've taken - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you never take your memory card out of your camera - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you don't piss your pants at the thought of panning and zooming 8 pictures simultaneously - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    If you use AOL's webmail to send people pictures of your dog - then you can't understand the difference between Aperture and Photoshop.

    Aperture is for photographers. Photoshop is for graphic artists.
