  • .mac should be free . compared to other web hostin its a ripoff

  • Well, it is only $8.30 per month at regular price, if you buy off of eBay for $60 it's only $5 a month, not the best price but still not bad.

  • it definitely should be more whether this is mistake or not, i use .mac and the 1GB with a 25GB transfer limit is silly, i can just buy a memory stick for less and carry that round with me, or even better my ipod.

  • this wasn't mentioned at macworld i was there

  • Dues windows xp come standard with all Macs

  • no, it doesnt

  • yeah, you have to contaminate your computer yourself!

  • I dont get it lol...

  • lol.'look like otaku'...

  • strange,i hope apple do upgrade .mac drasticaly becosue the price far outweighs the value

  • True, True

  • im pretty sure no one said anything about games lol.  Macs are made for the above stated reasons, but thats about it, and there many other things to do with a PC, especially if you're an average user.

  • You may just be an angry MAC user but what I wrote is true, regardless of your name calling. I have both a MAC and a PC b/c I wanted to give it a shot... Windows is so much more customizable that it's just incredible.

  • Actually, I agree... it is more customizable... thus the security holes, Microsoft releases too much control to the "Administrator" user. Fundamentally Macs are more secure than PCs... and even as many Windows Viruses were made for Macs, Macs would still be far better at protection, because the MAC OSX is more shut down and less able to allow other programs to break rules. If you are happy to sacrifice security for the customizable factor then PCs are for you.

  • at least you gave it a shot, and have earned your right to claim what you like best :) -Mac user and lover hehe

  • The gaming industry is reactive not proactive in terms of demand.

  • So, Macs are bad because "other companies" (pay hard attention to that part) don't make as many games for them as windows?

    This is down to demand. And if MS hadn't of spread Windows like a Virus, Apple (or someone else) would be dominent and plenty of games would of been meant for them.

    So yes, congrats, you are right, Apple's gaming selection is crappy... and if more windows users grew some cells, and got on to OSX, gaming firms would make games for them.

  • no. macs r not bad by any measure, and no one with any sense will ever imply that, online or off. The only thing anyone sensible ever implied in these comments was that pc is BETTER. And the main reason games run better on windows is because of things like direct X.

  • shut the fuck up loser!

  • Holy cow, god I hope we do get the 30GB upgrade. I had doubts about .mac but if they've overhauled it for MW07 I will hands up say it owns google's gmail.

  • redbeast2: shut the fuck up! you obviously arnt creative in any way...otherwise you would realise how good macs are...also, i have both operating systems running on my mac, but i cant do that on my nativly windows machine...

  • yeah you can :\

  • Say what??? The heck you CAN'T! I have a friend that is a major MAC fan, but loves his PC and has the MAC OS running on his PC fast and no problems.

  • If you search google video for some Steve Jobs interviews, you will see the whole purpose of allowing Windows to Run on Macs was to expose MAC osx to more people. Official figures at the September Mac expo showed 69% of Windows users going intending to install Windows on the MAC, ended up using OSX as the primary OS.

  • If your friend has managed to get OSX running on his PC, that's great, he's half way there. But the software isn't optimized for the hardware and so will never run as good as it would on a mac of the same spec.

  • don't be retarded, Apple could just "flick a switch" to enable an idisk storage upgrade, there'e NO NEED to enable it sooner and try to somehow "hide" it with "tricks" this is a glitch nothing more.

  • Basically. Very rarely will a hacker specifically target a computer unless you piss that hacker off. Otherwise they just set shit into their websites to give you shit. If you're not going to moronic porn sites and stupid shit like that you're pretty much set.

  • ...I said "shit" a lot...

  • Mac Rules!

    its just like one of those Xbox Vs ps2 or Ps3 Vs 360 debates lol

  • PCs are for people who are able to use their brains while MACs are for old people who can barely operate a TV remote control

  • Don't you have any other problems?

  • Part 2: A PC on the other hand(if you aren't a redneck) is simple to use since everything you need can be found in a nice little Start menu... dont want your PC to get viruses? Use a firewall... The reason artists and such use macs to do their image/music editing is cause they dont have time to "learn" to click a start button, alot of the software for both macs and pc, can usually be found on the other. Wanna run unix??? get it seperate...

    Windows lover, Computer Engineering Student

  • well, this turned into a windows vs mac thing awfully quick. I like windows, i know people that lieks mac, for me, when i use a mac, i cant find diddly squat anywhere and it crashes(people say they are uncrashable)... when a mac gets corrupted, or you loose a driver, its time to replace it cause there's no way in hell anyone can fix it.

  • i dunno what mac ur using but mines crashed about once in the 2 years ive had mine

  • Loose a driver? - that's no mac you are on my friend.

    "Drivers" are for windows users.

  • well something looses something when the hardrive fails to work... Mac book pro btw. I stopped bothring with it, i agree that macs are more secure, but they are so secure you have no control over your own comp.

  • u no, if people with macs weren't so cocky aboput their hardware and operating system, then i wouldn't be inclined to say (as I am now) that hackers and malicious code writers will probebly start to target mac more and more, because of their superior attitude. Also that and the fact that while you can have your mac, you still have to go to ALOT of trouble to install any linux distro, which is the last operating systems any hacker would target, as this tends to be eaht they use.

  • lol, th reason that there are no mac viruses, is cause who would want to write a virus for something only rednecks use?? Not like there's any money to be made from that.

  • so true ( no offence meant to mac users). Bu tI think if mac users comtinue to b so cocky about their systems then more viruses will appear. Thats all i'm saying.

  • Anyone complaining about the PC is YOUR PROBLEM. When you buy a computer, the first thing you need to LEARN to do is maintain it and to keep it secure. I've used a PC for over 12 years and never have had a problem with it. Stop calling PC users stupid since it's a much more sophisticated OS then MAC's OS by far. I like MACS for it's decent quality hardware, but I can do so much more on a PC.

  • Oh really?

    So what can you do on a PC that you can't do on a Mac?

    This will be fun =)

  • For one, MS owns 95% of the market, so not all software out there is available for the MAC. Besides, you guys are lucky right now because no one wants to make a virus for a system only 5% of people use. I am not saying I don't like MACS, it's good for graphics work and that's all I'd use it for.

  • The "only good for graphics" mac myth is seriously old. It's like someone saying I'm getting a firewall to stop viruses. Speaking of which, Windows gives too many privilages to "Administrator", it's the fundamental reason viruses are easily spread on Win, apps can run w/o the user knowing. Can't happen on a Mac, they just aren't built that way. From the core foundation they are far more secure. Even if Macs were attacked as much as Windows is, they would never be as destructive as Windows.

  • if that is true... then that difference is not subtle and completely explains my external hard drives ^^ lolz good work mac user.... But ima stick to PC I ruvs the PC...

  • Making a website is hard on a PC? Ha, sure...

  • Okay what am i missing here? i don't see the point?

    i have use PCs for years and have used Macs form time to time. There is nothing that a Mac can do that a PC can't and vice versa

  • sorry, but that's STILL not worth paying $100 USD per year for their .Mac service. not to mention iDisk is awefully slow.... even us Mac users admit that. Google's about to release their virtual storage system (and so is Microsoft, for that matter) which would totally blow .Mac's iDisk out of the water. Why? Because it's going to be free.

  • i use a computer and it works good

  • Macs are for Photoshop artists, that's it.

  • and windows is for people who like wasting thier time doing system scans.

  • When was the last time I did a "scan" on my computer? What the hell is a "scan" anyway? o_O

    ~ A happy Windows user.

  • lol... some people can't use a PC, others can't use a mac. Some can't use both. Of course, it's the systems fault, not the user. :)

  • Cant remember the last time I did one of those, I dont go on porn sites so I don't have to worry about viruses.

  • photoshop is good on pc too..

  • If you are genuinely a happy Windows user, congrats... but would you be an exstatic OSX user.

    I recommend spending 30 mins on an iMac in a Mac store before making bold comments like Macs are for only 1 market type.

    Ps. I think you got it wrong, you don't do scans on a mac, ever. And if you aren't doing scans on your windows machine, it's going to brake one day... I promise. But by all means, prove me wrong =)

  • can someone tell me which macs this can be found on? i JUST got a macbook.

    p.s. i had a pc for 5 years. they become obsolete SO quickly. after having a mac, i would never go back.

  • Macs are for retardz that cant work a pc

  • So I guess that all the pros that use them for arts and sciences are really just retarded. Anyone who spells retards with a fucking z is retarded.

    And yes to use even some of the simplest features on a PC, you have to click around for hours and be a hacker, so I guess all of use mac users are retarded for not knowing programming language.

  • ya. but us "retardz" run on unix.

  • oh shit, i miss my MAC :(

  • Pffffff a waster of both Mac's and PC's and a little bit of my time. 1 Star.

  • Hajimemashite. Douzo, yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

  • MAC is a mac with asians... thats not saying much, lawls.

  • So, the big question is can you actually store a file bigger than 1G on your iDisk? It could just be a bug but most likely it's an advance feature for Tuesday's keynote.

  • OVER 9000!!!

  • F*ck you

  • true

  • lol... love how you can always spot someone who has never spent more than a day learning how to use OSX.

    Silly Windows user... you deserve your PC, believe me.

  • you're fucking brilliant, dude.

    I didn't know there were internet connections in caves.

  • I was scared I thought I only had 30 gb but I actually had 177gb thank god

  • computers are meant for making photo albums, editing music and videos. nice. i go play sports if so!

    stupids.

  • Mac's are retarded

  • you put an apostrophe on Macs..

    dummy

  • Haha how true.

  • you're retarded :-) You don't have a clue what a mac can do if you say so :-)

  • As retarded as your spelling?

  • lol... love how you can always spot someone who has never spent more than a day learning how to use OSX.

    Silly Windows user... you deserve your PC, believe me.

  • The apple will make it easier for you to have sex with Asians.

  • 30GB? Pah! My host has just introduced Webdrive which appears to be the same sort of thing as iDisk. With it I get 275GB for $7.50 a month at servage*net/?coupon=yt

  • .Mac isn't just online webspace. The $99 goes to more.

  • Man what do I care, I still have over 30GB of my original storage left. I keep my computer maintained.

    Heres a trick for all you nerds: Go to where that guy was on the video and compress - EVERYTHING. Der de der.

  • The video in the background was very distracting.

  • what did you use to capture the video ?

  • It looks like the iDisk in the Mac world merely shows how much you've used as a capacity of what you can have. While the PC version shows 30gb. I wonder if that's the ABSOLUTE max you can use (after you pay extra).

  • hmmmm

  • well... If I didn't have any video background I'm sure that someone would said that the video is fake... but it turns out that it is a BUG! The storage capacity on Windows Local Disk totally match with the storage capacity on the iDisk.

  • I liked the commercials playing in the background. It was a nice touch.

  • lol that was the only part I was paying attention to.

  • the background video is so annoying !

  • Couldn't care any less, .Mac needs to come down in price baldy!!

  • Baldy? Aside from that, a 1.8ghz Core Duo iBook is $1,100 - that's no more expensive than any other Core Duo laptop out there...

  • Actually, macflyfilm is referring to the $99 annual cost of .Mac service - not the price of their machines, which happen to be very competitively priced for such well built machines.

    At $99/year, .Mac on the other hand, is quite expensive for just a paltry 128 megs of storage space. At 30 gigs it will finally start to be useful as an offsite, remote data backup.

  • I've got to agree with you there.

  • .Mac currently comes with 1GB of storage space, not "a paltry 128 megs."

  • That's right. I was wrong. Still, I think $99 is expensive even for 1GB. For 30GB, I'd be happy - though, considering the rapidly dropping cost of storage, I think they can do better than 30GB even.
