That doesn't mean it has to be the standard for the next 15yrs, particularly given the increasing rate at which technology advances.Quote:

It works perfectly to create hype though.
I find the fighting over which is best just completely pointless. Not to mention branding people who buy a brand you don't like as 'snobs' or 'idiots'. It's a freaking PHONE ffs.
Personally I have an iPhone. I'm well aware of its limitations, I'm well aware of the price I paid. But it works well for me. You got a problem with that? Well that's your problem not mine.
Now, the race is about to start. It's Valencia so I should be able to catch up on some sleep.
wakey wakey ! http://i46.tinypic.com/hv9ul3.gif :pQuote:

Quoted from your first article Why Are Macs Better for Graphic Design? | eHow.com
the Mac operating system is written in a different programming language than Windows, making it less succeptible to viruses, spyware and other security issues.
While a pretty machine doesn't affect performance, it looks much better in your home office.
That has to be the stupidest article I have read in a long time. The "expert" could have at least used the spell checker on his amazing Mac to get the spelling of susceptible right. Thanks for the entertainment henners.
I might have looked over that part, as half my concentration on the pre-race show (what a disaster BTW). But well, you don't bring eHow articles or opinions to backup what you claim to be facts. I have worked at or visited over a dozen media houses, and never have I seen Macs dominating. There's usually a solitary Mac in the video editor's office, for FCP, and that's it. The way you go gaga over Macs as the first choice for graphic designers, a noob would imagine every desk in a media publishing company would have a Mac. Not so in reality mate.Quote:

Too bad about your sleep.Quote:

Being perfectly honest, I have not had any such problems in the last 6 years. I have a Windows 7 installation with Avast Internet Security running trouble free since 2010. How people manage to get infected or crash their hard drivers, I have NO idea. Just don't click on shady stuff, don't download anything from shady websites or install suspicious looking software! All you've got to do is to let the Antivirus be up-to-date, and even if you insert an infected USB memory stick, it will block it!
This PC, along with my laptop, has also traveled about 10 to 12,000 kilometers around the world on an airplane. That ought to destroy the hard drive in pieces as some of the guys have been talking about, but it's been working absolutely fine.
This quad core PC that I built in 2010 (which also has an Asus Xonar 7.1 sound card) was about a $1000 cheaper than a comparable Mac. My Dell laptop cost 600 euros and a comparable Macbook Pro or Air was three times the price. That's about $2000 saved by not falling for Apple's gimmick. Think about how much more you can do with that 2 grand!
yep, I could buy a few iPads with that :bandit:Quote:

Cloud storage is all good until there's an outage. Then you're screwed if all your important files are on a "cloud" and there's a thunderstorm outside.
