Why the fuck do you want to run linux instead of mac os? That's just stupid.
Linux as a desktop is ridiculous. It's over. Everybody knows it.
I mean, I can understand not wanting to use windows, but if you have a mac, why not run mac os?
Honestly, you have to much time on your hands.
Why not use mac os so you can, oh i dunno, actually be productive?
If you use Windows you deserve to get viruses. It's a fact of life. Windows = massve infections and/or massive amounts of time, effort, money & CPU cycles scanning for viruses contantly. Usually you have to deal with both. What a waste of time and energy.
Why would anyone use Windows? Get smart, get Mac OS.
This rant is displaced. You're just bitching about the inherent limitations when you choose linux (as you said migrate to another platform - and oh yeah windows has itunes, so you must be going on about some crappy distro). If someone migrates to linux, they can't play itunes natively. Don't blame Apple for the lack of media options and general suckage of linux.
Always the sour grapes with you hippies. Blame Apple for Lunixs' shortcomings and lack of current mainstream apps.
He's just a person like anyone else. His death is no more meaningful than the other hundreds or thousands that will die in the world this week. Celebrities are merely people and do not require such sensationalism at their passing.
Yeah... blame Apple for Linux's inability to play modern media formats. What a joke. Linux Hippie Zealot says "sour grapes" again. It is to laugh. Get a job, buy a Mac and then you'll have it all.
They don't need to use outdated, inferior codecs just so you freeloading masochist linux users can feel like your OS is up-to-date.
And why should they go out of their way to advertise their product, which costs money, to people who think everything should be free?
Linux sucks, get used to it or get a job so you can afford a better computer and a better desktop OS.
None of the business, friends, family, etceteras that I know are dumb enough or poor enough to run linux or windows. The hundreds of people I support are smart enough to be running Mac OSX on their various Macs ranging from G3s, G4s, G5s to intels.
Either an install of applejack on the target system, or an OSX system + utilities on a bootable ipod, or a bootable system CD/DVD or FW/USB target mode connected to the laptop are all I need (pick one). Who needs a thumbdrive?
Linux is missing vital abilities. Linux users say sour graps. Other linux users say it sorta works but yu have to do 100 things and you dont get all the features. other linux users say it's an evil plot from the man to ruin everyones lives (more sour grapes).
Silly little masochist apologists. Get a job, buy a Mac. Get the best of all worlds. Ankle-biting will get you nowhere.
With one click you can instantly change the bubbles to just plain text or something in between. Typical... bash and rant about something you don't understand. I'm willing to bet that time machine has more than one option for data retrieval.
Some people are so quick to think they know everthing from one demo or screenshot, when many details remain to be seen. And that which they complain about until foam comes out of their mouths, is actually a non issue if you took one minute to research or ask about it instead of blowing up like a little kid who needs a nap.
BTW, there are no puppies or wizzards in OSX. Wizzards are in Windows. Puppies and paperclips are also in Windows.
People who use linux as a desktop (yuck!!) don't have any money and object to paying for any software (slackers, children, hippies and bums). So why should anyone make a game for linux? They won't make any money there.
At least Mac users are willing to pay for something good. It only makes sense that games have, are and will be created/ported for the Mac OS.
Merging folders/files with the same name is tricky. Many times I see two files and/or folders with the same file name but they are completely different items (a picture or an orange named orange.jpg and a picture or an orange flower named orange.jpg for example). This must be dealt with manually. You don't want your computer making assumptions based simply on the file or folder name. However, there are 3rd party programs that will help to automate this. And I think you can probably whip up something with automator.
Why would extensis be "afraid" of Apple? They have been making font management apps for the Mac since system 7. Font book is only meant for basic font management and is as good or better than any OS's native font manager. All it does is move fonts in and out of the user font directory (and checks for font corruption). What is this about "allowing fonts to run wild"? Fonts dont "do" anything on their own. You either use the default setup or manage them yourself. If you screw it up by removing vital fonts or adding corrupted fonts or duplicate fonts, thats your error, not Apple's.
Font issues are certianly real and exist on all platofrms. But the issues are usually caused by user intervention, incorrect assumptions and lack of experience or knowledge. If one doesn't have this knowledge one should leave the system fonts alone and add the ones you want to the user space manually or using font book. Advanced users need an advanced 3rd party font utility.
I don't see the need for Apple to make a higher end font app. Font bok is good enough for 90% of mac users and Suitcase covers everyone else.
What I don't like is the god damned.dfonts that I have to replace with postscript fonts to run a print shop. (helvetica, helvetica neue, futura, gil sans, zapf dingbats, etc, etc)
"This seems to be about as useless a product as a mac" WTF are you smoking? You can do anything with a Mac. You can run any OS and any App and it's laptops are top notch. Suck ball bearings you ignorant troll. Linux is the real useless heap of dung.
Quaking in it's boots? About a linux laptop? You must be joking. Linux is fucking useless as a desktop. What a laugh.

...are laughing at you.
If you create or edit paintery/photo/raster/bitmaps for a living, you know gimp is a complete waste of time.
Photoshop is not expensive if you are billing by the hour while you are using it.
For god's sake, you can pay for Photoshop with ONE DAY'S earnings using it.
And all the time you waste futzing around with a nonsensical, unintuitive, downright retarded interface whilewriting your own !@#$%^&? plugins (what artists wants to do that?) you are losing money. You need to produce, fast, well and accurately to stay ahead of the curve.
Gimp is a play-toy for code monkeys, not a professional artist's tool.
No, they will buy a $600 Mac mini so they don't have to worry about cripling security issues on a daily basis.
There is no demand for linux desktop, period.
You can't play your songs on a linux box bucause LINUX IS *****USELESS AS A DESKTOP***** and NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT. Grow up, get a job, buy a Mac, be happy.
Windows Media Photo? Ah.. ha. Ha Ha.
Ahahahaa. ha aha ahahaha hahahaha.
HAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Thats even funnier than linux as a desktop!
Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux? Short answer: no. Long answer: Hell no... Linux completely sucks as a desktop. You get what you pay for. Get a job and buy a Mac.

You can redeem itunes gift cards without providing any personal info to apple.

Suitcase Fusion has made great strides over Suitcase 10 and suitcase X1. The ability to seperate custom font suitcases for example.

"There have been multiple interviews with IBM about their decision to drop Apple as a customer." Apple dropped IBM. Not the other way around.
Horseshit! Linux as the desktop is in no way comparable to OSX. Absolute nonsense. Linux is fucking useless as a desktop.

Burn an audio cd from your itms song, then rip the cd to a high-quality MP3. DRM gone.
