- dmoffitt, on 01/02/2009, -1/+38wtf, why is "911" in the title??
- mehan, on 01/02/2009, -0/+28that was incredibly dumb.
- Linkin4, on 01/02/2009, -23/+44You Mac people amaze me at the total crap that you digg to the front page...
- Phil13, on 01/02/2009, -2/+22As a very long time Mac user, I wish more of them would follow the last one.
- Rikkochet, on 01/02/2009, -2/+17I've been calling 1-800-FLOWERS. Is that not right?
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -2/+15I was going to say it suggests a bigger problem...how have your parents been getting along lately? Any late night arguments?
- rivalius13, on 01/02/2009, -2/+12With Time Machine you have no excuse NOT to back up. Well, as long as you have Leopard.
- jer21, on 01/02/2009, -1/+10Jackass.
- falafelkiosken, on 01/02/2009, -0/+9wow, looking at that guys profile make you wonder why he isn't banned yet
- Ragzouken, on 01/02/2009, -1/+9I call 999.
- drgmdp, on 01/02/2009, -1/+9my prediction is that you're just a interwebs tough guy that won't even look one of them in the eyes
- s4g4n, on 01/02/2009, -2/+10Can these digg titles seem more stupid than they really are?
- chillymanilli, on 01/02/2009, -0/+7Big scary man is being nasty to me mummy
- whodaimen, on 01/02/2009, -4/+11No, they forgot to mention:
• I resolve to seriously consider Windows 7.
As a Windows user since 3.1, I can honestly say that 7 is the best. By far. It's as though they combined the easy GUI and processes management of OSX, and the non-***** aspects of vista. I have had several macbooks, but would never consider a desktop Mac. I always ran into issues getting my latest software. I tried using bootcamp/parallels, it didn't really help for ***** when everything was in a VM. It's more of a proof-of-concept than an actual tool.
To me, a Mac is a portable OS for the computer illiterate. Its fast, functional, and easy to navigate, but I personally would go crazy having that kind of experience at home. - icurnvs, on 01/02/2009, -1/+7Chris Breen's column in Macworld has been called Mac 911 for years. I'm fairly certain that it predates the 9/11 tragedy. I do think that he should think about renaming the column as "911" will never have the same meaning for us again.
- Balanced, on 01/02/2009, -1/+7Ever consider that might be a Samba problem?
- mogebier, on 01/02/2009, -4/+10Ah. It's nice to see Digg back to normal after the election. I missed all the senseless and loving posts about people jizzing over Apple products.
- mrBitch, on 01/02/2009, -1/+7RE: "since buying my Macbook all I've seen posted anywhere in the OS is that I need to buy an Apple Time Capsule in order to set up backups."
That's strange, everything I have ever read on Time Machine says it works on any external drive, as long as you can format it to Extended Journaled format. - chillymanilli, on 01/02/2009, -1/+7you're the only arsehole
- icurnvs, on 01/02/2009, -1/+6Wow, harsh. I estimate that according to your standards, exactly 3 people on earth deserve to be alive. It's a great idea, but I doubt the vast majority of people do it.
- REBELinBLUE, on 01/02/2009, -3/+801189998819991197253
- Rikkochet, on 01/02/2009, -0/+5Best. Comment. Ever.
"I wish a choking death upon anyone who doesn't fill out their ID3 and EXIF metadata tags in their media!"
Step away and take a deep breath, dude. - icurnvs, on 01/02/2009, -0/+5Uh-oh..looks like you've become one of "those Linux people". :)
- ScientistBlah, on 01/02/2009, -2/+7Stop digging this *****. I'm a mac user and this article was ***** retarded.
- russj117, on 01/02/2009, -1/+5dugg for the mac daily vitamin
- Falstaph, on 01/02/2009, -0/+4A squeaky hard drive is bad?
- HookmasterCH47, on 01/01/2009, -2/+6My dad does the whole repair permissions thing every single day, it's annoying as hell.
- falafelkiosken, on 01/02/2009, -0/+4wow, your life must be really crappy
- lead2thehead, on 01/02/2009, -2/+6New Years resolutions are a waste of time. Nobody every sticks to them. If you didn't see a reason to do these things last year, you won't do them this year. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm heading off to the gym to wait in line behind a hundred fat chicks for a treadmill so that I can do my daily workout.
- Chairboy, on 01/02/2009, -4/+8Wait, so now _Apple_ did WTC? It's so difficult keeping all the conspiracy theories straight...
- sbluetruck, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3he never said that his dad needed to.
it's just like my dad and his weekly disk defrag, even if not much has changed on the computer - falafelkiosken, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3you shouldn't lay off your medication like that
- aserer511, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3• I resolve to tag and rate my media—photos and music—when I first import it with the idea that two years from now I might want to find it.
if you're not doing this, you don't deserve the air you breathe, be you a mac, pc, linux or commodore 64 owner - CrushThemTorg, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3OS 8.6 WAS AN INSIDE JOB! Wake up, sheeple!
- therightclique, on 01/05/2009, -0/+3Why the hell would anyone rate their media. You'd have to have brain damage.
- Epitaph, on 01/04/2009, -0/+3@Linkin4: I love mac and I'm with you on that one
- woofers07, on 01/02/2009, -2/+5*generic mac-bashing comment in order to get diggs by the loyalists
- judicar, on 01/02/2009, -2/+5Congrats on being "that guy". Every Mac submission has one.
- DCstewieG, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3I began rating my music when I got my iTouch in April. Since then I've rated almost two thirds of my collection (I think it's about 10 days worth or so). Let me tell you, it's a long process but it has been so worth it. My system is:
5: If I could only listen to one song forever, it would be one of these.
4: Great, great song, but not quite perfect.
3: Something about this song makes it a little better than average or memorable.
2: Average. Still like the song (it's on my iPod after all) but nothing special.
1: Don't like. This is reserved for songs that I want to keep around for some reason but normally don't care for, or when I want to leave a CD complete, even if I don't like a song.
The distribution is something like:
|--1--|--------------------2-----------------|---------3-------|-----4----|--5--|
When I'm in the car, I'll either listen to everything and rate (that's where I've done most of my rating) or to 2+. If I feel a little less like skipping songs every now and then, 3+. When I'm out shoveling snow, it's 4+.
This sounds all dorky, but it has been great. I now wish the iPod had "on the fly" smart playlists, so I could select a mode and play all of the n+ rated songs. You would have your own greatest hits CD for every artist, genre, and playlist you have.
It's also much easier to find new music. I can dump CDs on there and eventually the songs I don't care for are at 1 star and any gems are easy to find and keep. - ileftfark, on 01/02/2009, -1/+4lol @ tech writer of a column for Apple "tips, tricks, and solutions" who calls Tech Support.
- drgmdp, on 01/02/2009, -1/+4lol
- therightclique, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2A great Mac article for people who aspire to be grandmas.
No computer user with half a clue should need this list.
Just because someone's a Mac user doesn't mean they're *completely* retarded. - bpeacock22, on 01/02/2009, -2/+4Ha ha. Good article. Part funny. Part true. I do wish I had rated my music from the beginning. So I went back and gave 4 and 5 stars to some songs. Don't really mess with 3 or less.
But seriously, people...please resolve to do this one:
I resolve to be polite when speaking with any tech support person because I understand that my problems were not caused by the person I’m speaking with. - Goda90, on 01/02/2009, -2/+4something about these creep me out. specifically the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and last one. its like a cult where you buy things from the master and try to get others into the cult.
- gaucho4, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2Working in tech support myself I can appreciate the one about being nice to the person helping you fix your problem.
- jrbrewin, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2the last one is the most interesting, and funny one.
fore it actually shows in some way that mac users know they can be, and often are total and utter retards when it comes to talking about the competition, especially online, and yes, that puts a lot of people off.
of course, the correct thing to resolve for the coming year would have been to totally stop being smug, and just be passionate, humble, and open-minded. Afterall, the apple way is to 'think different', even when that which defines different becomes more and more mainstream. - vipertech, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Steve Jobs?
- macplenty, on 01/02/2009, -2/+4I dial 9, 1, and when Mrs. Skinner tells me, dial another 1.
- therightclique, on 01/05/2009, -0/+2I called tech support once, in 1995 when Windows 95 came out. I was told that some motherboards' built-in anti-virus software can see Windows 95 as a Virus, despite being one of the most important operating systems ever made.
