what you dont get is while apple is 3% at best of computer market, they are 50% of Adobes customers. why is that? it snot because apple systems are simple, that is insulting and reflect ignorance of most people who make that claim. it is because in a high pressure environment of design, you need your systems to work. Apple has always had an advantage over EVERYONE, because they make a system which is a known quantity to software designers an 3rd part peripherals alike.
never mind apple's historical leadership in fonts and color profile synching. no one, has time or MONEY in graphic shop to put uo with bullshit that is supporting windows, fuck, nevermind linux! your on crack
That way apple could have its cake and eat it too. Pixar isn't beholden to Apple records for non-compete. But if labels pull out, Jobs could create his own label and fill it with artist who jump ship from RIAA and they would get awesome exposure?
Hell, Jobs could do it alone, he is worth about 3 billion.
but i dont think thats what Jobs wants, as he wants everything to be easy for his customers to a fault. For people to go to different places to get their music, even if they could get it in a mp3 form, wouldn't make sense to him.
he would sell iPods at loss to break record companies will before he would allow them to leave his pull. Or he would let Warner leave by itself and eat it.
Apples cash stock pile as of last quarter was 5 billion. with zero Debt. i doubt this GUI is worth 600 million. better to prove prior art to creatives if allowed
your right, as a designer i have seen and been on both sides of that fence. As you know, design software is expensive and the design industry is tough bitch to work in, and when your a starting out, how do you do the work if you dont have the apps?
ethically weak excuse to be sure.. but i dont deny what it was like some people do to rationalize.
i recall when i was in art school in early 90's showing someone how easy it was to slap Photoshop 2.5 on to a SyQuest drive, his eye popped out of his head. it never occurred to him that at least then, that most apps were as easy to take as any file on os 9.
then there is rationale, if i take the home from work, i can do work from home, which some employers have no problem with. No confirms you delete what you used when you leave.
but i will say this about mac users, we have higher expectations in software and outside of games, are used to being treated to a better user experience by years over M$ users.
your really full of shi.. yourself arent you? your are wrong so any ways its funny.
i have mac, and a x-box and eventually a PS3, i will play games on all 3, but why would i waste money on a virile ridden piece of junk which is no better than any of those?
if you read the article you insensitive clod, you would see these were former NEXT programers. i cant imagine why they choose OS X, other than it is based on Next.
oh, but because they used the programing environment they preferred long before it became Apples, its a Stunt.
If it OSX wasn't Next, and they still choose next, you would probably be saying, pretty neat.
you really should google before you open your mouth. seriously, how hard would it be too google Steve jobs AND Pixar?
asshole.
yes, mark me , and this sincere and honest post -1 flame bait, whatever, while original idiot who started this thread, wasted everyone who read it their time, that person remains a 1. wow
your absolutely correct. as professional graphic designer, who was taught on Apple systems in 1990, pagemaker was still the bomb. Macpaint, while crappy compared to photoshop 2.0, was still perfectly usable and the mouse is what made it even possible.
Jack Tramiel wasn't never part of Orginal Atari. he bought the company, and skilled the Atari 7800 System 2 years before Nintendo took off with NES, By time he dusted it off, they had already lost due to his lack of vision. The 7800 was a superior machine even when it came out 2 years after it was ready, but it was too late. NIntendo owned the market.
Jack Tramiel probably cant be blamed for all of Atari's mis-fortunes at that time, but he dod squander and Opportunity in history Ninetendo saw which he didnt.
your living in a dream world. Atari is Atari name only. They are a property which has been traded like a hot potatoes about 2 or 3 times in last 8 years or so for the game library more than anything.
I grew up on Atari during the golden age of gaming, and even then, Activation was king. I love Atari's arcades as much as anyone, but lets be realistic about what Atari was and what Atari is.
Well, until i can do everything i do on my Apple Crap, on your OOS crap, and pay my bills, with it, your OSS crap and you can continue in your perpetual 69. dont forget to swallow
I'd rather have it be optimizing for 5 minutes anything than allowing vhe 80,000+ viruses and spyware windows users are infested with for the liftespan of thier hardware.
i imagine from your knee jerk, cry baby frustrations, lack of seeking knowledge queries, you are one of the bit torrent installers. poor you.
poor poor you. whaaa. i had problems on my install so this OS must suck! whaaaa! i seek no information that can allow me to accomplish any adult tasks. so i must cry! Whaaa!
and you think your a IT pro, having updating 10 windows machines, but apparently on your first OSx update you had a problem, and you then immediately post to Slashdot , but as anonymous coward and think you have any credibility in your post implying windows is systematically easier, regardless of security flaws, by posting a article for people who fucked up their installation? yeah, your Kung Fu is the best!
your are a child updating your High school lab aren't you?
maybe its platform of future? at least Mac users can look fwd to 3.2 HGZ IBM PowerPc (that RISC to all you WinDOZE trolls) multi core chips BY NOVEMBER as will M$.
i guess m$ finally has given up on the PC for gaming by your logic.
btw, look at Sony PS3 (not 360) specs and cry.
sony understands future of HD. as does Apple. MS is DOOMED! (required troll hyperbole)
Slashdot Mirror
no you wont find that happening
what you dont get is while apple is 3% at best of computer market, they are 50% of Adobes customers. why is that? it snot because apple systems are simple, that is insulting and reflect ignorance of most people who make that claim. it is because in a high pressure environment of design, you need your systems to work.

stfu, its still funny comic book guy

dont share music. leech it, sure, just dont be person sharing it.
Apples cash stock pile as of last quarter was 5 billion. with zero Debt. i doubt this GUI is worth 600 million. better to prove prior art to creatives if allowed
and easier way is simply to drag it so spotlights privacy prefs. done. if your admin, lock down the control panel. its that easy
"Have I been duped? Is the Mac REALLY a usefull OS afterall? Was Steve Jobs right all these years"
yes.
your right, as a designer i have seen and been on both sides of that fence. As you know, design software is expensive and the design industry is tough bitch to work in, and when your a starting out, how do you do the work if you dont have the apps?

and we still dont care
thats nice if you want to play games, but what if you want to do work?
get your head out of your ass

i use the logitech 7 button mouse with scroll wheel. best mouse i have ever used.
the whole purpose of one button mouse is to force developers to make their UI consistent, which i mac apps are so intuitive.
But even so, the first thing i do when i set up a new mac is plug in a 3+ button mouse and get best of both worlds.
you should too.
that will be a long way off. About year ago when they were at 100 million, downloads accounted for about 1% of music sales. so maybe its 3% now?
you really should google before you open your mouth. seriously, how hard would it be too google Steve jobs AND Pixar?
asshole.

as first strike against the grammar Nazi's, try drinking 1.5 pints of vodka at 4 am and posting anything that articulate
that wasn't even worthy of a troll.
gee, wonder why M@ and Sony both choose IBM?
maybe its platform of future? at least Mac users can look fwd to 3.2 HGZ IBM PowerPc (that RISC to all you WinDOZE trolls) multi core chips BY NOVEMBER as will M$.

sorrry, after OS 9, i forgot thier was a Apple Menu ;):
