Netbooks

[mosyemessy1988]

apple is expensive, and useless.

netbooks are cheap and useful.

apple + netbooks -> contradicts

doesn't make sense. the strong suit of the netbooks is that they are cheap. apple makes them expensive. so they're not gonna do it.

you should have called it apple netbook video!!!!

[ubuntiano87]

linuxxxx!!!!!!!

[vvvlladdd]

for a "computer man" you use a real shitty browser. Damn....

[FantascapeRS]

new york accent XD

[psikeyhackr]

The Linux geeks are more interested in showing they are smart than they are in making a system that would attract most users. It's a kind of Linux elitism. So in many ways it is a pain to use.

Having to memorize ridiculous command names, pwd, grep, yacc, who needs this BS?

[robbob60504]

isnt the macbook air like a really crappy verison of their netbook?

[UbuntuLee]

erm no.... not at all.

[Glennormothra]

LoLolOLoLolOLoLolOLoLolOLoLolO­LoLolOLoLolOLoLolOLoLolOLoLolO­LoLolOLoLolO

You are such an idiot. The Macbook Air is a fucking overpriced netbook.

[UbuntuLee]

Is that why it is called a thin notebook and not a netbook? hmm

[ynot914]

it is still their entry into the ultra portable..

[UbuntuLee]

Still not a netbook. I win

[EMGPJt]

Linux can play more then 2 comercial games i was just giving examples. Google PlayOnLinux it will show all the comercial games it can use on the custom built wine system. Fallout 3 also works on a custom wine system

[Glennormothra]

Listing Wine as a virtue of Linux gives more credence to the idea Linux sucks. Why would a good OS need to wrap another OS's APIs?

You know where Fallout 3 works? Windows. You know where all Linux apps work? Windows. What can Linux do that Windows cannot? Do not use Compiz as an example.

[beastlyboy83]

dude why the heck would u use windows live search???? googles the best! everyone knows tht

[tehcomputerman]

once again you still havent given one legitement reason for your theories

[beastlyboy83]

i respect u man... i really do. so when is tht video going to upload tht u promised at the end of this video?

[tehcomputerman]

tomorrow

[beastlyboy83]

stop dissing apple u fraking duech bag!!! apple is way better. so get a ****ing life, gaywod!

[tehcomputerman]

since you appanrently know more than me why dont u give me 7 reasons why its better and i dont want to hear stupid reasons either

[beastlyboy83]

dude, i dont have to give u 7 freaking reasons... because everything u hear, everywhere u look u see tht apple is better. so suck it!!

[EMGPJt]

Linux can play games. Loads of open source games and even lots of commercial games like Far Cry 2 and Halo: CE

[ismouton]

Two games? Awesome.

[commodore256]

Hating on Linux community because Linux isn't doing good in the netbook market is like hating on Windows Users and Microsoft on the Vista fiasco. It was the drivers, the OEMs, the hardware and Microsoft.

Now the Linux community is only the Open Source developers and the Linux users. Not all Linux users can code. Linux's lack of market share has nothing to do with better engineered software. It's the OEMs and the buyers. The buyers want windows xp because that's all they know. and it's the OEMs.

[UbuntuLee]

They wanted XP because XP didn't suck absolute balls.

[tehcomputerman]

Well that is what people did to MS

[medinamatt]

i am disappointed in ubuntu linux. i tried it after my old dell with xp died, and it was good. if apple does come out with a net book, i might get it. anyone know where i can get the beta of windows 7? i have a computer that can run it now, and i want to try it.

[tehcomputerman]

Windows 7 beta is no longer available unless you use torrents

[medinamatt]

crap. anyone have a torrent?

[ismouton]

YouTube has been banning people for posting torrents.  Just a tip.

[medinamatt]

ok. thanks.

[Flarinon]

I think a netbook would be apple's cheapest product, that is just me though : )

[aMoreno16]

snow leopard would probably make full osx netbooks possible.

but by the way tehcomputerman dont forget that canonical is the only one wanting UBUNTU to go enterprise - not linux. and its really the OEM's fault: they really did not make a real attempt to market ubuntu. dont forget that theres still these stigmas about linux to the rest of the world. but never mind, THE MAIN CORE OF LINUX USERS DONT WANT TO GO ENTERPRISE.

[EMGPJt]

Dude get firefox, IE sucks

[tehcomputerman]

IE 8 is a very good browser

[EMGPJt]

Down with apple!

[EMGPJt]

finally your mic doesnt sound like crap but still get a webcam wed like to see your face so we wont have to look at your wallpaper and desktop the whole time

[tehcomputerman]

well the webcam i have is not very good but if u insist. Just dont expect great quality

[1xxxDre4mxxx1]

why not go in front of a camera not just audio? . .such a shame . . its kinda boring after a while just staring at a wallpaper. love what you have to say.

[tehcomputerman]

my webcam sucks but since people want it i will do it after next video because i already made it

[windowspczone]

Where did you get that cool Windows 7 Backround?

[Christopher2398]

sometimes you very negative, you say that apple will not create anything like this, thats just negative. try to say more positive things about apple

[tehcomputerman]

no because i dont have anything positive to say. If they did something good then i would.

[Christopher2398]

ePC was one of then, that has a linux operating system

[tehcomputerman]

and it has xp and win 7 runs great on it

[ibloxProductionz]

ur done with linux? :/

[EMGPJt]

Ubuntu FTW!

[ibloxProductionz]

:D

LINUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[tehcomputerman]

yep

[ibloxProductionz]

._.

I hope you use linux again rofl

Or you were responding to my other comment. Whatever :P

[gotbletu]

people buy what they know, and they know windows. And as u said the Android might do well thats cuz people know Google. Vista cant even beat XP so why u think Linux can?

[tehcomputerman]

thats because people dont upgrade their machines to new ones. But with a netbook its a whole new machine

[gotbletu]

u must not understood. Ppl that upgrade still perfer and will try to get XP over Vista. Upgrading ur machine is one thing having VIsta pre-install is another, they didnt even have a choice. That is why XP has been extended a few time of its end of support date.

[dannybetts123]

Cool Video A+++++++++++++++++++++++

[chewit10]

Yeh, you are right, Linux community didn't do anything. But we couldnt. The OEMs decided to make these crap linux distro and not use any of the popular distros.

If the linux community was involved, we would have used ubuntu. like dell has.

[bluetech7753]

Apple really should make a netbook with the exact spec of the mac mini it's got have i life like the other mac if they don't include i life then it not realy a mac. it will just be a stupid over priced netbook.

[ljscott1990]

Nice vid.

[THEUPSMAN88]

Just wait til Apple makes one. Then they will be so much better.

[UbuntuLee]

Great video. 5 stars. Linux did kinda fuck up on the netbook shits. ... badly. I am sure samuel will have a video of his xandros netbook up soon... trying to prove you wrong.

[platnumX]

Wait...You're saying Linux failed on netbooks because it didn't sell well.....

There is SOOO much wrong with that statement its unbelievable

[UbuntuLee]

It didn't sell well... Linux is getting raped in the netbook market.

[platnumX]

Not my point, I know it didn't sell well.

I'm saying it didn't "fail", because it didn't "suck" as a netbook OS.

[Glennormothra]

It did nothing spectacular compared to Windows except allow PC makers to show more cash into their pockets. How exactly is that a win?

[Glennormothra]

show should be shove

[platnumX]

WinXP ran terribly on netbooks, and the custom guis on the Linux netbooks, were better for that type of device.

[tehcomputerman]

err it was not that bad

[UbuntuLee]

I believe what he was saying was that Linux fucked up when they had a great advantage. I wish they would have done better on the netbooks. They clearly aren't a desktop ready OS yet.

[platnumX]

Linux CAN'T sell well, because users are afraid of it.

How can Linux sell well when cashiers are saying "don't by that one! it has linux!" and magazines are saying stuff like (I don't remember which magazine it was)"Most netbooks run Windows XP, but some run a cheap, dated OS called Linux".

How can it "sell" with all that FUD being hurled at it?

[UbuntuLee]

Not our problem. Linux should step up and start kicking asses.

[platnumX]

But it IS a problem, a HUGE problem.

The biggest obstical to linux adoption has always been FUD.

[Glennormothra]

Maybe, it isn't FUD, but rather true? Linux users spread FUD about Windows, and all it does is make Linux users look like fools.

[VCTKnight]

Oh well thats not our problem. Its Linux's problem for being useless when it comes to about anything. When Linux gets better compatibility, more software support, and can do more than Windows and Mac, then I might use it on my PC because otherwise Linux is not gonna get a piece of my new PC.

[EMGPJt]

Dude! It has more software support then you think. Google Open Source Linux have fun! 95% open source software is for linux. It Can to more then Windows and Mac, you only say what you think is true but you are mistaken.

[ismouton]

Any other OS can run almost all Linux/UNIX software. So, no you are wrong in every possible way.

What can Linux do that OS X or Windows cannot do? Not play games?

[commodore256]

Linux and OSX doesn't get Viruses.

[ismouton]

That is incorrect.

[commodore256]

Only if you're stupid enough to be logged in as root.

[ismouton]

Exactly. There are no viruses for Windows.

[jfost784]

did you not hear about the trojan for osx that so many people got when they pirated iwork 09

[commodore256]

Would rather Have a OS that over 100,000 viruses or a OS with under 300 viruses?

[ismouton]

You have to be a dumbfuck to get a virus on Windows.

[jfost784]

well you said none. i do use ubuntu, and xp because i cant use adobe cs4 with ubuntu. only in a virtual machine but my computer isnt good enough

[VCTKnight]

yeah it has software that has no quality compared to windows.

[platnumX]

"Compatability" and "software support", come from being popular enough for corporations to invest in development.

Linux can't become popular until people stop being afraid of it.

[Glennormothra]

Sounds like what the Linux users do to Windows. Perhaps this FUD is more logical than the FUD aimed at Windows? hmmmm

[xbmarx]

Linux users are about 1% of the market: I can assure you that their evangelism (or FUD, whatever) has exactly no measurable effect on the OS market. The reason Linux is getting raped on netbooks has to do with economics, not whether it's actually a better system.
