That's right.:)


In all honesty, I REEEEALLY would have wanted to see a SSE sponsored by Apple.


I don't know why, but I would just think that they would have done the job SO much better than Siemens.

They *do* have the most famous of ALL of the touch screens...

Yup...and the video on my iPhone looks soooo much better than those tacky screens on SSE...

That said - I do most of my computing on PC's - my iPhone is more to replace my old Palm than use as a big time computing device.

Oh, and I thought I remembered an Apple display of some sort in the original CommuniCore area...glad others remember it too!

my house has now window and no gates!!!!

Umm...so pc's are running disney. A lot of rides break down
(on a daily basis), and some people don't want apple in the park????

there once was a man with a zune,
who couldn't catch a tune
his little dell crashed
the blue screen flashed
a virus struck, and it was not immune
 
As a technician for Apple....I'm scared of all the Apple haters here :(

I must say my iPhone came in pretty handy on my Disney Trip last week... I have full interactive park maps on my phone and my whole itinerary was on my iCal with all my ressies, timed alerts and confirmations numbers. lol

I thought all the kewl kids had I-Pods and I-Phones and I-Books and IowneeverythingbecausemynameisJobsandyoushallbowbeforemygreatness ...

seriously, every creative I know swears by Apple products. I haven't worked with them since the early 90s, so that might as well be the Paleozoic Era.

I have a Mac Mini for video editing (I Love to use final cut pro at school :))

and have wondered this too. The Mac Mini is a great product, and is smaller than most computers out there yet do most of the same stuff, why could they not use those and bootcamp windows onto them. (That is if they could not write something for mac instead..)

Here's one who DOESN'T. :wave:

They're great until they go down. Then you can't get anybody to fix it properly, and I've seen the "Geniuses" at the Genius Bar destroy many computers.

I use both Macs and PCs and wish I could have the Mac OS (it's beautiful) with the PC's flexibility.

'Cause Bootcamp and Parallels SUCK. I have them on my newest Mac and I don't even use them...total waste of around $300 total. If you need PC software or want to do any serious video gaming, buy a PC.

Disney uses PCs everywhere because the Mac OS is not IT-friendly.

I agree that Apple should have a big presence in Innoventions; but then again, so should Microsoft.

Wow, WIndows blows so very hard. Apple is just a thing of beauty. They have the best OS and the best hardware. Anyone who doesn't believe me, just use Vista for thirty minutes. IF you haven't shot yourself in the head at the end of that, then I will direct you to the nearest Apple store. I JUST got the brand new unibody MacBook, and it truly is a thing of beauty. It runs like a dream, and the laptop itself is just drop dead sexy.

I have a 16GB iPhone, an iPod Touch, and I will soon be buying an iMac for my apartment. I'm telling you, Apple is at the forefront of the technology world.

I cannot even IMAGINE how embarrassing it must be for all you Windows users out there to be sitting in Starbucks on your giant, ugly laptops out there to see a Mac user (and believe me, you can spot them lol) pull out a DROP DEAD SEXY MacBook or MacBook Pro, open it up, and have Mac OS X boot up in like 30 seconds, while your Vista laptop takes 5 minutes ON A GOOD DAY.

Yes, some call us (Apple fans) smug. Some call us snobs. Some call us jerks. But really, it is just having the knowledge that we have the superior product. It is the knowledge that Apple is the best, and we demand the best. We deserve the best. We, meaning ALL OF US. And Mr. Gates with his BILLIONS of dollars, sits back in his house, not worrying about a single thing as people CHOOSE TO BUY WINDOWS. It just blows my mind how someone would actually KNOWINGLY choose to buy a machine running Vista. Or any form of Windows for that matter.

Not everyone can afford an Apple. Some people complain that Apple products cost too much.

But do people complain about how much a Hummer costs? Do people complain how much a Viper costs? How about a Lier Jet? Anybody you know complain about the cost of a Lier Jet? No? Thats because these products are THE BEST. Nobody questions the price of a top of the line, quality product. Top quality products are gonna cost a little more than an inferior product. Its just the truth.

Its nothing personal. And I hardly ever go out of my way to point out that Windows SUCKS to people. But when those idiotic Windows user are sitting there, actually believing that their $300 Windows machine is ACTUALLY SOMEHOW better than my $1799 Apple unibody, aluminum, LED backlit, power sipping, powerhouse of a computer, well, I just get a LITTLE crazy. And that is when I will not waste a second to put a Windows-Head in his/her place.

Sorry if this offends or upsets anyone, but the simple, cold hard truth is that Apple is the best. Windows is a sorry excuse for an operating system. Apple is gaining on Windows EVERY DAY. The iPhone is HUGE. They are almost number one. iPod is the top dog in music players. And will be so forever. Why? BECAUSE THE IPOD IS THE BEST. It looks the best, it works the best, and it sounds the best.

There is a reason that all of Hollywood and the music industry uses Apple. Nearly every movies you have seen on the big and little screen over the past 5 years were made on an Apple.

Seriously, you Windows people make it so easy. I mean lord, Apple has the iPod, the iPhone, the Mac.......What does Microsoft have??? VISTA?

Ya, I'm shaking in my Apple boots.

Please.



And BTW I'm not smug about my computer AT ALL.
:p

hmm... bootcamp works on the iMacs we have at the radio station quite well... Remember i said bootcamp, meaning run windows completely and not the Mac OS... not parallels... maybe it's the config your using?

You know it is not the Apple computers I dislike so much its the users of them that believe that they have somehow taken an extra leap in the process of human evolution by selecting a particular brand of computer. Quite honestly about the only thing worse than an ex-smoker preaching about smoking is an ex-windows user preaching about Apple.

I have to agree with you Master Yoda. I love my MacBook and I do believe it is an awesome machine. However, there are many awesome Windows PCs out there. I don't understand the smugness thing at all.

But you know what they say..."Once you go Mac...you never go back"

:slurp:

Just a personal story. I used to be an avid PC lover. Used to build them from scratch with the awesome neon lights and liquid cooling (like truly awesome gaming systems), but I always had a mac on the side for graphic/web design. This year I totally banished my PC for a Mac Pro and never looked back. I totally converted my Mom and Sister but buying them Mac Mini's and it's insane how much they love them now.

Well I started brainwashing my mom by getting her an iPhone first, then her PC died so she wanted a Mac. :lol:

I truly recommend people try it out first before they bash it...

but, to each their own...

You know talking about with OS is better Mac OS or Vista is really a boring discussion.

You will note I said OS, yes Macs run intel chip sets which is why they can run Vista natively. Every wonder why the 5% of people with Macs want to run bootcamp anyway?


I know Apple fan boys like watching movies on their little iPhone screens but other people who want the best home theatre experience they can get watch movies on large HD TVs.

Did you know the Walt Disney corporation supports Blu-Ray big time? Why? They want everybody to rebuy the DVDs they already own in Blu-Ray. Nothing wrong with that, it is good business. Apple though lives in a fantasy land, "Good Place for the Apple Attraction".

Apple thinks as do many morons, downloading is the way to go. Except that it takes me almost an hour to download a movie from iTunes and that download is DVD quality at best. Then their are download limits for me it is 60Gig a month, before downloads can happen the network people will have to find a way to get content to me much faster and my limit will need to be greater by at least one magnitude. Apple has the iTunes store supporting Blu-Ray cuts into the profits of Apple.

What is going to happen? In Walt Disney World they are going to have an attraction sponsered by Apple and across the concourse the Disney Retail outlet will be playing Sleeping Beauty on Blu-Ray on a HD TV? just can not see it happening.

Apple fan boys continue buying Macs, no problem. I maybe tempted myself if the cutting edge Mac ever supports Blu-Ray.

Precisely. Mac's are great and they definitely have areas that make them shine but to say Windows is useless is an incredibly ignorant, fanboy statement. If I was doing graphical design, audio and video production or simply needed a system to send e-mail and surf the net then I would get a Mac. In my case I run high end games, multiple engineering and CADD programs and a huge proprietary database program. The Macs simply will not run it as efficiently as a PC if they can run it at all.

OSX is a great OS but lets call a spade a spade here....Apple has to make an OS to work on a dozen or so system configurations where as Windows works on literally an infinite amount of system configurations. It is considerably easier to design a nail gun to put only .131 x 3-1/2" guns nails through 1/2" OSB into a SYP #1D 2x4 then it is to design a nail gun that will use any nail and put it into any material. Windows has done just that. If OSX was the holy grail of OS like the Mac fanboys claim here is a simple question. Why can't I install it on a PC? (that was a rhetorical question, there is not need to answer)

Is Vista a great OS? No. But to be honest Vista's #1 problem at launch was third party driver support. For whatever reason hardware manufacturers really dropped the ball and the Windows Vista capable program was an abortion. 99% of those issues have been fixed. I run Vista on several machines and have no issues whatsoever.

And for AREM my boot time is 72 seconds. Of course I rarely have to turn it on because I just put it to sleep...I hear MacbookS don't do that all that well.new-macbooks-are-cranky-they-have-insomnia-and-hate-third+party-ram:D
