So today was the grand opening of the Apple store in my local mall. I was with a friend who was looking for a computer so we decided to pop in there for a bit. I was like hmmm, don't look at these Apple's they are too expensive (the one we were using was 3 grand alone). So I opened up Safari and was showing off some other laptops to my friends, stuff from like hp.com, dell.com, newegg, etc. The assistant walked over and was like "Hey whats up guys!". I said "nothing" and walked away. My friend stayed there and was like "Yeah, he was just showing me something". The guy was like "Oh yeah, cool!" and walked away. Then we went to another computer, and I was running an internet speed test 10mbps up/down, not to shabby. The guy walked over again and was like "You guys are going to have to leave". We said "Why?" He just said his supervisor told him so, and we just left. To make a long story short, kick ass computers, mean supervisors.
Pwned. :(
If you're not buying, he doesn't get commission, therefore he tells you to leave. No superviser involved.
No one is buying, are you serious. Their computers start at like 2 grand.
You shoulda been like "do you know who my dad is!?".
My dad's Steve Jobs, bitch!

Lies. Laptops start at sub-$1000. :)
Yes Trust,
However Macintosh laptops are very powerful as much as a lot of people hate them. The Apply Hardware is very expensive however it isn't the cost of the hardware that is what is costing people. Because you cannot buy licensing for MacOS the copy for it and Macintosh software is very expensive. If you want a old mac or two I have billions of them in this house.
Yeah the 1.3GHz with a 12 inch screen starts at 1 grand. I can get a 1.3GHz HP for like 400 bucks.
1.2ghz on Mac runs significantly faster than 1.2ghz on intel-style. Don't forget that Mac is an entirely different cpu. It's classified as a CISC (Complex Instruction Set CPU), which means that each instruction is more complex than a single Intel-style instruction (in other words, it does more). So comparing gigahertzes isn't fair.
iago, what would it be comparable to in in intel based chip then?
I don't know the comparisons.
I heard that you can't compare the pentium series with centrino(?) chips either...
No you can't I know that. Well when mac's start shipping with intel's we will be able to compare them.
Haha who saw the mac convention on video? That was awesome.
I am a new Mac believer
<3 my new iBook.
I mean, Tiger even in PPC is excellent.
It features Spotlight, Dashboard, etc..
Also Mac has created great programs and so have others, example:
iTunes
Garage Band 2
Safari
iDVD
etc..
Podcasting is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.
Mac is the way.

You mean the Pentium-M (which is part of Cenrino, along with wireless)?
Its true, I have a Pentium-M 1.5ghz. It's comparable to a 2.6 or 2.8ghz

Mac OSX is good, and so is the ppc architecture.
I'm not a huge fan of PPC, myself
SOOO BACK TO THE APPLE STORE...
I want to go in one.

We were discussing this. I'm still wanting to find a conversion chart for such.
iTunes is horrible.
It all really depends on what you prefer. I belive that you can compare 1.2ghz Apple g5 with a 2ghz P4. I will ask my buddy works at Apple and get back to you.
I hate itunes, Safair is sick though, I'd love to see a windows port, it even supports the acid test.

If you score us free iPods I think I can guarantee your entrance into x86 ... *cough* ;) :P
Us as in me and newby.
I will try my best.
I know that i have 3 ipods which were free.
1gb iPod Shuffle
6gb iPod Mini
20gb iPod 4th gen.
Are you serious? I wasn't... but if you want to score us some free iPods, it'll kick ass!
Please note that bribes are not only accepted, but suggested. This does not garuntee automatic entry into the clan, but it may help ;)

Me too! I'd <3 a Shuffle (for running and stuff) :P
They won't admit it, but if you pamper me you'll get 100% votes. :)

1337...I'd prefer at least a 20gb, if at all possible. :P
You've dug yourself a hole agarwaen, now to go burry the excess dirt.
Hey HEY now. BACK up motherfuckers. I asked first.
...
Romi's next!
Blaze explain how I dug myself into a hole. I never promised anything I simply said what I could get.

*deletes rabbit's post*
*edits original post asking for ipod*
Pwned!!@!
That's not what your mom said last night when I was skullfucking her~
Teabag anyone on Newby's mom? JKS!
I know that a 400 MHz PPC running Ubuntu Linux renders graphics in Gimp faster than a 2.8 GHz P4 running Windows.
Is that with G3 chip technology? And yes it would most likely render faster because Macintosh systems were designed somewhat for graphic rendering. Pixar studios uses Apple computers, and have you seen how good Shrek looks? It is under rumour that I herd a total of 4 G4 systems rendered the whole movie.
True, but it took a day to render 1 scene (it's on the extras somewhere where they show a fuzzy donkey :P)

Plus Jobs founded Pixar.
