Macworld 2005: Steve Jobs Demos Dashboard

[leandrodafontoura]

Bill actually likes Steve...and Steve must envy Bill

why Steve always bullys microsfot in every presentation? windows is better at gaming at least...

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura Not better at gaming. Just has more games. By no doing of MS. Macs have great software, because Apple encourages it and leads by example. PCs have more games, because more people use it.

[leandrodafontoura]

@Nutz320 I know, but take the world we live in for consideration. Some Vista/XP/7 games cost 5 dollars while the same title for mac is 40 dollars. In addition, the PC world allows you customizatiion. There are dozen of PC cases to choose, while with the MacPro you get...1 case to choose. Not to mention keyboard, mouses (magic mouse sucks for gaming). So, I know its not MS, but all that makes Windows a better platform for gaming. specially cause most people cant afford 2 computers.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura "Vista/XP/7 games cost 5 dollars while the same title for mac is 40 dollars" That doesn't make the PC better. I would still buy the PC of course, if I were a gamer, but I'd still prefer to own a Mac.

"There are dozen of PC cases to choose, while with the MacPro you get...1 case to choose." Apple tried to license the Mac. When Steve came back, he asked a fair price (Apple was dying due to lowering prices of the clones), and they refused. Survival of the fittest.

@Nutz320 I prefer to own both a PC and a Mac. Magicmouse is perfect for almost everything, specially when you need to scroll horizontally..not to mention it doenst make that "whreckrewhck" noise. I never see myself using any other mouse for everyday taks, except gaming. For gaming you need a mouse with wheel scroll and lateral buttons.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura "I never see myself using any other mouse for everyday taks, except gaming." My sentiments exactly.

"I prefer to own both a PC and a Mac." Why not just Boot Camp? Unless you like messing around with the insides of the computer.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura Although, it's not like it's a bad choice. Obviously, it's better to have a choice, but the case is pretty insignificant compared to what the computer can actually help you accomplish. A case should always be secondary priority.

You can plug in any mouse or keyboard with a Mac. Magic mouse and Apple keyboard are meant for general use. Magic mouse sucks for design, I think (not a designer). Most designers use Macs, so that's ironic. But, you can plug in any mouse or keyboard.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura More games doesn't mean better for gaming. All the best games are on Windows, but that doesn't mean it's better for gaming. If Microsoft Windows was better for games, but most games were on Macs, that doesn't mean the Mac is better for gaming, but I'd be forced to buy a Mac if I wanted to game. That's life!

@Nutz320 In addition, Apple will have to pay for its choice of not allowing us to choose. I hate the current iMac design. So I have a MacMini with a Samsung white display. Since the MacMini is not powerfull enough to game, and I dont like MacPro case design, I had to build a custom PC. Regarding mobiles, I dont like "black keys" on the keyboard, so I have a Sony VAio with grey keys. Well, I also have a white macbook. I miss the day when you had an iMac in 8 colors....

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura "I hate the current iMac design." That's quite surprising to hear, but of course, not everyone is going to like the same things. I think Apple just makes the design that will appeal to the most people and they stick with that one design.

"I dont like "black keys" on the keyboard" The black chiclet keyboard. Yeah, when the Unibody MBPs came out, I thought the old ones looked WAY better, if only because of the keys. But the design grew on me. Just don't close yourself up.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura "I dont like MacPro case design" So, I'm guessing sleek exteriors aren't your look, then? :P. I love the Mac Pro case design. Although, sometimes I wish the iMac would go back to the iLamp design.

"I miss the day when you had an iMac in 8 colors." LOL, yeah! PC companies nowadays do this and people say, "Apple sucks. They don't let me choose the design." They have no idea that Apple started the whole trend. Without them, all computers would be beige.

[leandrodafontoura]

@Nutz320 The thing is I like to think different. And sometimes that makes me choose Apple, and sometimes not choose Apple. The MacPro case, as well as macbook pro/air and cinemadisplay/iMac, look very industrial to me.

look at the dell R15 notebooks, they have glossy/shyny covers, even the inside has glossy details and chromed aluminium on the side. to me, it looks like apple products were fabricated on the Terminator 2 factory

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura "And sometimes that makes me choose Apple, and sometimes not choose Apple." That would be okay if PC companies were on the same or similar level to Apple.

"The MacPro case, as well as macbook pro/air and cinemadisplay/iMac, look very industrial to me." IMHO, only the Mac Pro looks industrial, but then again, I don't pay attention to that like you.

"dell R15" I searched. I lookede through the results, saw the second. Wow!

[leandrodafontoura]

@Nutz320 Now, I personally pay a lot of attention to desing, thats not everyone, its me. I loved the G3 powermac case, the color iMacs, the Lamp iMac, the first White Macbook pro, but since 2007, all I have from apple is the white macbook. And in 2010, I got the new slim MacMini (hated the first desing) I do use bootcamp for XP games, but the hardware is not fast enough for Vista/7 games.

[Nutz320]

@leandrodafontoura I didn't like the G3 iMacs. I liked the PM G4 case, the PM G3 is okay. iLamp is awesome. I actually prefered the first Mac mini design.

[leandrodafontoura]

Apple is phenomenal. The sad thing is that as of 2011, people still dont know what a dashboard is or expose, spaces... they simply dont know what a mac is.....ignorance is not a bless

[PRINCEofPECICA]

even snow leopard is a small cat in comparation with windows 7!

[MrPrancinghorse]

[kockgunner]
