- wilhoitm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19The iPhone is powered by anti-matter.
- kolia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Most of the labs I've worked for used Macs. When it's not a Mac, it's usually a Unix workstation.
Maybe because Macs are based on a Unix, so they have all the Unix tools, without the quirkiness of plain Unix? - userChris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Thats what happens when lazy people copy and paste.
- posneg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Inside the Image How scientists see the world Welcome to Inside the Image"
What? - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"This is just an advert. 4 paragraphs with links like 'Why Mac for Science' at the top. "
Most of the Apple site is an advert (Assuming you class a companies website that promotes themself as an advert)
- Ben - bedouin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Apple has a little-known community on their site for educators as well:
http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/index.php - invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5lol @"cos(0)"
just when i thought the "!!!11one" joke was getting old, someone comes along and reinvents it - jman8888, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6OMG PONIES!!!1!!!111!!!!!
OM - ross., on 10/12/2007, -2/+6http://www.apple.com/science/whymac/
Great to see Apple hasn't disappointed, and has included the obligatory:
1 x generic looking ethnic clip art model
1 x generic looking older clip art model
1 x generic looking business man clip art model
1 x generic looking geek clip art model - cpbrown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5science is definitely cool now.
i want a science - whatever the cost. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Now only if they had a "replace your ipod battery" section.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LOLZ!!!!111!!!!!onene111111!!11exclamation_mark11exclamation_mark11!!!
- KMartSheriff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3OMG YES SCIENCE IS TEH ROXOR JUICE!! MADE OF WIN!!!!!
- MrDo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Another fine headline from the OMG!!! PONIES!!! generation. :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The article is about B-S.
- Ford_Prefect2nd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Apple did something!!! Fanboys.
- daliminator, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5what.
a.
*****.
"article."
how did this get on the front page?!! - KyjL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So hey, !!!'s.
Yeah. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Macs are used a lot in bioinformatics; see http://www.macresearch.org. It's nice to have *nix underpinnings in a very slick GUI. In the PC world of science (of which I am part), we usually resort to dual-booting XP and Linux.
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Work a little harder at a good description, please. Jeez.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I loved the way you stereotyped the typical Apple fanboy mentality...
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OMG When i read "The B-Z reaction", i fully expected to be reading a scientific article about a horrible experimental drug from the seventies that was called B-Z.
It was tested on American military guys, by the US gov't and drug companies, during the Vietnam War era. It turned those men into horrible, violent monsters, who tore each other apart like wild animals. There is a movie about this, called Jacob's Ladder.
But apparently this article about B-Z is about some photography thing. Never Mind! - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4APPLE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE!!!1!1111!!!eleventy-one!!11!
- gage006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Science damn you otters!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How unbelievably ***** interesting!!!!!!!!
- ucbmckee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2GO BEARS!!!! Or was it GO BEERS!!!! Hmm, FCUK STANFURD!!!!
- marinist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Am I supposed to be impressed by a javascript animation of that B-Z reaction? It wasn't even preloaded on the page. Sorry, I thought Apple was more cutting edge than that. Corporations hosting topical sites to interest their specific markets are not new. Meh^3
- gboodhoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2pretty sweeping generalization. Dugg down as inaccurate and intellectually lazy.
Before our 360 dev kits arrived we used G5's as emulators. My handsome, overachieving and brilliant colleagues are not only interested in science, many are in fact actual scientists. The kind that handle radioactive materials, publish peer-reviewed papers, compute their taxes on the GPU, etc... I've also seen Mac hardware in hospitals, labs and gas stations(!) - ucbmckee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3ZOMG, U IS TEH GHEY!!!! Seriously, unless the story involves something like "a busload of swedish bikini models on the way to a sexaholics meeting crashed into my house, and...", you are not allowed to use more than one exclamation point.
- LadyBeGood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, they had a science column under the Pro tab for some time, but this one is much better.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8are you talking about the "mail us the ipod and pay us money because our batteries are ***** and we will send it back" section?
- MrDo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damn you beat me to it.
- Sakumi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple doing what it does best, targeting a niche market. Kudos as always.
- myfanwy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1punctuation is so overrated.......
- spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Oh my science.
- quasarkitten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digging it because B-Z reactions are awesome!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So what?
- Gerolsteiner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Go Irish.
- jman8888, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3They do..
- tylertyler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1More than three exclamation marks are a true sign of a deseased mind. Terry Pratchett :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1There has been a science page on the Apple website for a long time. Just as there is a forensics page and many others.
- uberdesigner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'm sick of Apple's feel good sales pitch. A copy of the Utne Reader should come with each ipod sold.
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -10/+8[lame college/uni]!!!!!oneoneoneonecos(0)
- mesostinky, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5LOL, ummm right.
"The open-platform and open-source philosophy of the IT group and the open-source philosophy of the Mac platform are a perfect fit."
Apple's "science" page is a bunch of fluff why Mac's are supposedly better for science. Were the five exclamation point really necessary over a corporate marketing page? You'd think you were linking to the cure for cancer. - jdepp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0OS X is a nice friendly GUI. Macs are actually easier to use as compared to Windows machines
or Linux, but they have a price premium and it would not make economic sense to build a grid with them. It might make sense to give the developers Macs, but to have them target a cluster built from Linux machines running Condor, or the Sun offering. - aserer511, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2apple's clientelle are about as sci-oriented as Paris Hilton, but when they see an iPod
"that's hot"http://digg.com/images/2aaa11001f2963c56c6d5e97c930ad64.jpg
If you can't read this, email support at digg.com for help. - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -8/+3***** yeah, science!
