  • little di he know steve would be dead by now (so sad)

  • Its funny how you mentioned OS X "Lion" a year before they officially announced it. You were thinking two OS Xs ahead... XD

  • i would rather just pay 25 bucks or the entire mac computer, why the hell would they put ads in a OS

  • but what if your offline...

  • glad apple didn't decide to do this.

  • This would make me think more about how greedy apple is if they were to use this HORRIBLE IDEA. I think a lot of users would prefer paying for a good operating system than being forced into watching commercials every ten minutes. For example, if i'm deep in thought during homework, giving a presentation, or studying, I would get totally off topic if an ad suddenly popped up in my face. This ruins the whole purpose of a computer being "Helpful" in everyday life, not some stupid sales gimmick.

  • please pick me this is justshowmez i want that iphone 4

  • how did you add the ads on the video

  • Most mac users don't mind shelling out an extra $100 for a new Mac OS... This is a HORRIBLE idea by Apple, if it is an idea by Apple...

  • If they and MS do I will switch to Ubuntu / Linux only. Right now I run dual boots on my Mac and PC.

    The best way to handle it would be to put it at the top of safari not popping up and as soon as they do someone will figure out how to disable it. :)

  • hmmm ... this make you think , people are VERY likely to get around this and disable it waste of time apple !

  • mac os for ever i got thelast imac and of coyrse macbook pro

  • You put Microsoft as a bad username LMAO.. but yet you use it to play games on your JunkBook?

  • hell these google ads on youtube piss me off royaly to the point i dont even want to come on here anymore. if adds make it to the os then i probly wont want to own a computer anymore. i cant stand adds. i dont see this ever happaning in the world of linux. maybe that will be the loop hole to this.

  • lockers invite. For those of you that don't know what lockerz is, it's a website where you earn points (which can later be redeemed of course) for doing simple things such as signing in, answering daily questions, and inviting other people to lockerz.

  • i-7 been on pc's way before macs lol

    " hardware isn't all the same now" -- yes it is.

    your mac's are pc's buddy.

  • haha when i saw the verizon ad i was like wtf?! are you serious?

  • I - Want This

  • lol

  • I came up with a way apple could bring down the prices of macs/ os upgrades similar to this but not as bad, it would be very annoying if they did this in 10.7, does seem like the sort of thing ms/dell/hp would do to get prices down on pcs.

  • What program is he using for these vids? Is it some Mac app? Because it looks really great :)

  • Have you found out what software he uses?? I really want it!

  • It's called ScreenFlow, and it's only for macs D:

    but it's really easy to use, no complicated adobe stuff here :D

  • @KielbasaProductions It's screenflow.

  • This is full of crap.. This would be totally against the solid user experience which Apple has always been focused on. In addition Apple still doesn't use serial numbers for their operating systems so if you wanted OS X for free you could just borrow a copy and install it..

  • I dont see why apple would do that if its only 30 for snow leopard but i can see microsoft since its about 119 to 219 per os. And way more overpriced. Thats why ive always been with xp on my pc

  • yeah man, XP for the win

  • i got vista and i regret it my processor fan went down after 3 weeks!!!

  • Get Windows 7.

    It is amazing

  • i know but wut can i do ?

    am only 14 and win7 is expensive

  • @NintendoMaster66 I GOT WIN7!!!!

    u r totally right its freakin awesome!!!

  • @TheVBALL why would he??

  • There may be a free OS that's supported by ads, however you'd still have to pay far FAR too much for a Mac. I've also heard with this patient, that not only could they disable the mouse and/or keyboard, but also have user interaction to ensure that someone's actually watching the ads. This would make MacOS from an "easy to use" (as claimed by Apple) OS, to a very annoying and difficult to use OS.

  • Wtf no way! ive seen that pic on other sites but apple will probably make a free version of their os and then a paid version without the ads

  • hell with ms office get open office its free and just as good

  • If this does happen I hope they will allow users to tern them off

  • i never noticed it.

  • apple would never degrade their OS for that

  • A free version with ads and a paid for version without ads sounds like a good model to me.

  • I rather pay $150 than have an ad pop up on my screen EVERY 10 MINUTES for the next 2 or 3 years. What a bad idea.

  • if this happens to the next os gets ads up when it comes out i am going back to windows cus i don't want to buy something and find ads popin up i will buy the full version eaven there is free 1 but if there were ads on the next os eaven payed version bye bye mac hello pc

  • i wish i can get an imac my pc never works dosent charge frezzes. and i dont have money am 13

  • wait till your older im 15 and i have a macbook and im buying an imac in a week or so get a jobs shaws is best

  • @J90270 9 times out of 10, the issue lies with the end user and not the hardware. Same for a Mac, and Linux based PC's.

  • 10 out of 10 time its the software the hardware is all the same now. mac and its is unix now use intel processors now and OSX was made for you to install windows.

    i use ubuntu linux

  • Microsoft already sell the newest version of Office for students for only 45 odd dollars, windows 7 as well.

  • a free upgrade isn't worth getting ads

  • Another smart idea from apple!!!

  • not sure how i feel about this, if i were a student or someone pressed for cash i would definitely look into getting it. depending on the frequency of the ads i would consider getting it now!

  • i would buy that

  • good idea IMO if you want to upgrade to the new OSX but arn't sure if the price is worth it. You can use it for a month or so, save up some money and either revert back to the old OSX or buy the new one.

    It's like the 30 day trials of CS4 only without the time limit and with some ads.

  • another reason to buy windows 7

  • fuck you

  • its true windows 7 is the best. lol all these users must be 12 years old lol.

  • I'm not liking my Windows 7 that much. I like my Vista better. I also like OS X more than Vista.

  • Don't do this Apple. Not everyone tolerates ads. It'd be annoying as the security interruptions in Vista.

  • i second that. but i guess that if people want to be cheap and not pay for something than they can put up with the same number of ads as swears in a bob saget stand up routine. i just pray that they make 2 versions, and one of them better be minus ads.

  • I agree. It's not like ads are really payed attention to anyways. So this would be a colossal waste of time on Apple's part.

  • @Stickmaleboy They'd have ways to force you to watch the Ads, and if you aren't there to watch them, they'd be waiting for you to return.

  • *BOO DOOP* BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH DO U WANT TO RUN A PROGRAM YOU JUST RIGHT CLICKED AND SAID TO RUN? Cancel Allow You: NO SHIT! OF COURSE YES *BOO DOOP* ARE YOU REALLY SURE? Cancel Allow You: WTF? I SAID YES ALREADY! *BOO DOOP* THE PROGRAM IS REALLY OPENING NOW!!!! ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE? Cancel Allow You: *Turns of computer; buys a Mac*
  • I think it's a bad idea because more people will buy the free os with ads and then say they don't like apple because of the annoying ads. I thought apple was the company that stays away from different versions of OS's and keeps things simple. TERRIBLE IDEA

  • I think it a horrible idea...and I will switch to linux if necessary...I'm so over being bombarded with ads all the time...and it never makes me buy anything...its useless

  • The Beginning is really funny hahaha

  • Piraters/crackers/programmers will find a way around it within minutes of release. Who cares?

  • If there's two options, like a cheap Ad supported one, and one Ad Free, that's the usual OS upgrade price, I'm fine with it.

  • hahah I had a horrible dream about an ad supported Mac osX last night.

    ajsgnrljkabsjdjblkgb

  • hmm, interesting.

  • How about if Apple creates this version of mac os x to offer it for free to windows computers.. as a trial before buying a mac???

  • What do you mean windows computers? There's no such thing. Only PC's And you can run any operating system that you want on them.

  • @Jokker88 Exactly. PC stands for Personal Computer. And Macs fall right in to that category.

  • because people would pirate it and everything else. I know I would. And thats a lot to do because they would have to go through microsoft to do that most likely. good idea though.

  • yea, thats macs for you. they need to manipulate the audience and brain wash them into buying theyre stupid OS

  • lol. how is it stupid compared to windows?

  • haha nice video!!

  • If Apple is going to release an add supported operating system for free... I'm just going to stick with my current OS or switch back to Windows or Linux.

    I'd much rather pay for an add-free OS !!

  • If they do make some bullshit ad powered OS everyone will just torrent the full version

  • Sounds like a horrible idea to me. I hated the idea of an ad supported Office version and if you have an ad supported OS too... god, we see too many ads as it is. And it's pointless really because you can get a free open source office alternative and a free open source operating system with no ads at all..

  • lol ads on the video

  • LOL the start was pretty funny

  • great video solider keep up the good work loved the intro

  • Very creative w/ what you did at the beginning! Kudos!

  • Apple the Music Shop is dead!

  • The ads should only be for the beta for the next version of OSX instead of the full version. apple should focus more on a os that is compatible with most windows pcs for their next os update. the tech is there apple plz wake up, hackintosh has already happened, all apple has to do is just make it happen and improve on the crack and sell it.

  • torrents...:D

  • screw that!! i am willing to pay!

  • screw that

  • Clever video! I was kinda pissed at first...I thought you were trying to get more money out of your video. lol

  • ta me too....lol!....

  • I'd stay on the previous OS if this were introduced.

  • i've been a mac user for my entire life. and i swear if they do this i will switch to PC.

  • it wont happen

  • fuck that shit!!!!!!!!!! i aint gonna stand it sorry but i will get pissed adds are stupid (period)

  • haha!!!! awesome!

  • lol, i thougt this was i joke.. if this happens i wil not get a mac.. and i windows does this to, i'll have to start using linux or something..

  • but IF it happen it will only happen for the ppl to use MC OS X on windows pcs and got their MAC copy for free!

    so, if u buy a legitimate mac u wont get ads...

  • lol

  • SoldierKnowsBest i mma let you finish but beyonce has one of the best videos of all time all time xD

  • Not sure how I feel about this. I hope they don't do it, but life will go on.

    peace.

  • Personally, since I'm fine money wise, I would simply buy the more expensive AD-Free OS. However, for those who want to upgrade but don't have any money at the moment this is a great and cheap alternative. People on this thread act like all future upgrades will have advertisements on them which I don't think is the case. If that is the case, then I'd be upset.

  • Apple would never do that. apple would lose there already small fan base

  • loving all the mac products behind him in the bottom right-hand corner

    peace.

  • i actually refreshed this video page bc i thought those ads were real..hahah.

  • lololol

  • If Apple does it, they might offer a more expensive version without ads. I would make sure to buy the more expensive version. Also, I'm pretty sure that someone will release a little program to stop those ads. maybe ?

  • I would absolutely not purchase or use any operating system that displayed ads in this manner. I don't care if having the ads would allow me to obtain any program in the world for free. I'd boycott the company immediately.

    I really like OS X, but if this happened I'd install Linux instantaneously.

  • This.

  • This would be most useful, if it was for PC's. Then pc users could see what the mac os is like and convince them to switch to mac.

  • Are you kidding me!? No, one should buy this. This would be a complete load of crap. Linux is free, are there adds that pop up every 10 minutes? I don't care if they pop up every hour. It's complete crap and better not come out. There are Netbooks that run with Linux, any adds popping up? think not. You better not Apple.

  • I think ads on computers is to intrusive now it's getting ridicules.

  • Don't you mean ridiculous?

  • id just rather pay the $29 for the add free

  • lmao so funny.

  • wow cool video...i didnt know that...we have to see whats gonna happen!

  • Most MS Office products are free with the tech fee to universities.

  • Maybe a cheaper or free version but you should have the option not to have them if you pay more.

  • wtf office 2010 isnt even out yet and they already have plans for office 2014?

  • I would not advise them to get into that.

  • bill hicks just rolled in his grave ... Fuck adds if you are in advertisement kill your self lol

  • surely it wouldnt work cos there would have to be a constant internet connection

  • I would rather pay and not have the ads....good video though!

  • if the conditions are right i can see a spot for it

  • they definitly wont do this. Apples not like that.

  • I was thinking about upgrading to a mac now I'm getting second thoughts

  • upgrade this will not happen

  • its not going to happen. They will never do that. I had Mac for over 2 years and I dont see any ads. So buy a mac and u will never go back to windows

  • wow that sounds fucking stupid as hell

    bad apple badddddddd

  • That is a really bad idea.

  • Sounds like crap 2 me.

  • NO! CRAP idea. :(

  • Apple are dumbasses

  • who the fuck would put up with that lol

  • I hate ads.

  • stupid

  • well if its gonna be cheap they have to get money from publicity, and after all its not that bad, we allready get a lot of ads from websites so we can used to it... im in a pc but i hate it, im going to change to a mac and that didnt stop me from getting one from anyway possible

  • I think some of us don't understand, it is eithere or you guys but I think that they are saying that there will be two versions of the os the free one w/ ads and the paid version w/o ads. Say that you wanted snow leopard but you didn't want to pay the price for it, well you could get the free version w/ ads! I personally think this is a brilliant idea!!

  • I hope this never happens! Apple is getting more popular everyday, but if they do this they will blow it! Maybe if they made 1 add supported and 1 non add supported version!

  • Don't do that Steve .... don't be stupid

  • if that ever happens then i won't upgrade 2 the latest version of mac os x. even if the ads take about every 30 minutes 2 pop up i will not upgrade it

  • What the heck?Why should we have stupid ads.That was one of the things I LOVED about my Macs.

  • wat a stupid idea. people hate ads, no matter what

  • I completely agree with you. This idea sucks!

  • If That Happened And I was a Mac user I would change to PC.

  • oh god...

    ads would drive me CRAZY! We have enough of them on every single website... don't need them in the regular OS! lol

    great video btw

  • hackers will make a patch to remove the ads so you could get a cheap OS and get a free online patch

  • if it's free i think it's a good idea.

  • totally agree!

  • yea good video man

  • LMAO. That pesky Kanye always gettin' in the way!!

  • they could offer a free mac os for pc's with ads that could make them want to go to mac

  • LOL I'm wearing the same shirt as you!

  • Hahahahahaha :D

  • I guess it all depends how they go about it, if they end up having a window pop up in the middle of the screen while you re on itunes or writing something, for me personally I feel thats too much. There already are enough ads of all sorts of crap everywhere I go I don't need them to start popping up when I'm in the comfort of my own home doing personal things. I also don't like watching TV for that same reason.

  • To be fair, its a good idea, i just think alot of people will object and would rather pay the extra money for a Ad free enviroment.

  • This really would only work for upgrading because the hardware is what is over priced with apples. Comparing windows parts to mac parts (from retail suggested pricing). If I am already spending the kind of cash it takes to get a new mac another $100 or so on an OS isn't really a deal breaker.

  • i dont like the idea

  • what the heck apple laptops and desktops are allready high and if you want to buy on and get the upgrade your screwed apple is stupid i see why everybody usses pc

  • I liked the begining! I don't want ads on the mac!

  • you pay so much for the mac, so the OS SHOULD be free , w/o ads

  • liked the intro=]

  • they can suck my dik if they do that.. ill go back to windows, windows 7 doesnt look that bad at all ~_~

  • I think the latest news is that, Apple has dropped this idea, Which is good :D However I think Microsoft are still thinking about it

  • Who the fuck would buy that?

  • i know apple is stupid what sre they gonna do next put ads on iphones,ipods and everything else the have if they do this micosoft will be rich

  • Well then its good for microsoft. and i dont give a shit about iphones they already suck

  • LOL this video was very nicely done.

  • if they do put ads, i can just see people getting the free one, and doing one simple tweak to turn the ads off and using the operating system free of ads without any cost...

    the only way this would work is to make a lite version as some apps do on app store, free version containing less features

  • most people WONT get this and wil probably be on public pc's

  • I think it would make apple look very unprofessional and many satisfied users (like myself) would get really pissed off.

  • Nice funny touch to the video SKB.

  • LMFAO!

    It could be just for the Apple Store, or a Demo Version for Windows to get people to switch.

  • no one wants pop ups.

  • lmao nice kanye west

  • Yes, that's a iphone! This is a Mac, and i paid for the speed and freedom of the computer, having advertisement really denies the point of macs. If it did happen i would actually go back to windows! lol

    Good video! :D:D:D:D
