Apple's Aperture Reviewed

phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has done an in-depth review of Apple's Aperture. Reviewer Dave Girard gives it a once over and walks away with a sour taste in his mouth. From the review: 'It is also disappointing to see form beat out function here, but hopefully this will be Apple's software equivalent of the G4 Cube. They have only themselves to blame: they set themselves up for a big fall by attempting to dig themselves a chunk of the pro market by purporting to have the lossless holy grail of imaging. The trouble with that is they obviously didn't have the engineering or expertise in RAW processing to pull it off or, if they did, they chose not to include it because of speed constraints due to Core Image.'"

Re:Finding flaws with a magnifying glass

Is it possible that you read the review looking for any flaws you could point out? It's a review; it's supposed to point out flaws. It doesn't matter to potential customers that it's only 1.0. It's not supposed to be considerate of Apple's feelings or the feelings of Mac Zealots. It's primary function is to help people make purchasing decisions, not to make your favorite company look good.

Reading your history, you seem rush to the aid of your dear Apple every time they are criticized. Your last post that wasn't about Apple or in an Apple-related thread was four months ago. I don't think I've ever encountered someone so devoted to a company they didn't work for. (Do you work for them?) Have you ever considered the amount of time you spend each day pondering the greatness of Apple? I mean, what do you get out of it anyway? It's not a religion, dude, it's just a company.

I don't understand Mac users. Why can't they just buy their iPods and Powerbooks and shut up about it? You do realize that membership in the Apple Fanboy Cult is optional, don't you?
