- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -32/+290It's a Mac. I have a MBP 2.17mhz 3GB RAM. I do all kinds of ***** to it and it never complains. That's the power of Unix underneath.
Try that with Windows and your house will blow up. - digitalpencil, on 10/10/2007, -9/+225& you could still run expose! God love the core graphics framework. roll on Leopard!!
- jefseb, on 10/10/2007, -4/+194I waited and waited for it crash...it locked up for a while here and there, but the processes kept running. Only thing that got stuck was the Photobooth app...I had to Force Quit that one in the end.
- grimers1, on 10/11/2007, -20/+177Wow.
- vawksel, on 10/10/2007, -12/+113You only have to run one app on WIndows for it to blow up sometimes.
- seamushc, on 10/10/2007, -8/+80LoL I see what you did th
- mygans, on 10/10/2007, -9/+77i clicked on the "start" menu 5 days back and it is still popping up ;)
- plbland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+67I'd be wowed even more if it could open a semi-long digg comments page in less than 4 seconds.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -9/+72Only if it's followed by "this sucks!"
- magicmarc, on 10/10/2007, -4/+65Do people laugh at your small dock?
- ocellnuri, on 10/10/2007, -2/+61Look at that dock!
- djpnuemo, on 10/10/2007, -9/+65my first mac is getting purchased when leopard is released. solid!

- davewho, on 10/10/2007, -7/+56Were the 43 finder windows open before, or do you have that many folders inside of your apps folder?
- Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Pfft. That's nothing. Try opening more than 5 digg stories tabbed at once, that'll give your system a work out.

It's not that the Windows UI was designed with such forethought but rather the fact that applications (exe files) are often in subfolders of the Program Files folder along with about a zillion and a half bizarrely named support files necessitating a trip to the Programs submenu in the Start menu to launch anything. On the Mac, an application generally has one icon sitting right there in the Applications folder, clean and simple and modern. So yeah, you're right. You can't easily do it in Windows but only because Windows is mired in its antiquated way of doing things and the exe files are buried under tons of crap.
Still, I admire how smoothly you framed that to turn it into a benefit. You ought to consider a career in politics. - GinaJuice, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44iSerial... Nice.
- jefseb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+42The icons may be small, but the docks girth is really what matters.
- erfmufn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39I see your expose.. and I raise you another 200 windows :)

- saifatlast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35You must lead a very boring life.
- Alex2, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37I was hoping to see a chernobyl'd mac...
- neffy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+34I notice your UI is hacked to all hell. You expect that to be stable?
- krebcycle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31stupid Digg, it's not javascript's fault
- jefseb, on 10/10/2007, -5/+35"Wow" wasn't exactly the word that came to mind when it happened.
- gavroche, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27Look at the dock
- simonsezmac, on 10/10/2007, -13/+37Of course it never crashed! It'a a Mac! I'm going to try this right now!
- Reziarfg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25...Ummm....voodoo...Sorry to burst your bubble, but, welcome to 1999:
"Mac OS X is a Unix OS[1] built on technology that had been developed at NeXT through the second half of the 1980s until Apple purchased the company in early 1997."

- jibone, on 10/10/2007, -5/+27I thought "Wow" was Vista's tag line?
- RooDoG, on 10/10/2007, -7/+29More reason for me to get a MacBook Pro now
- live2board, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Did you try force choking it first?
- BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -5/+26Ah yes, the classic ironic criticism of the Mac.
"The Mac is not a serious computer."
"Why not?"
"Because you can't play games." - ShrimpCrackers, on 10/10/2007, -20/+41I basically run a computer lab in my room and was surprised to see that I'm able to do this not only on my decked out MacBook Pro, but also on my MacBook. Not only that, this actually works fine on my 2 Ubuntu Machines and even my aging Windows machines. Granted both Windows and OSX grind a little in comparison to the Ubuntu one.
Just shows that modern operating systems are all able to do it. *shrugs* I guess its no big deal. - davdav, on 10/10/2007, -17/+38Actual image of my computer crashing while attempting to do the same thing. Notice the title bar.

- diggitmidget, on 10/10/2007, -10/+30How could you have ever doubted the power of the MBP? Did you seriously think it wouldn't be able to handle that load? C'mon.
- tjamesonky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20I know I could sit and count them all, but how many applications would you say are on your machine?
- krebcycle, on 10/10/2007, -6/+24And why is ShrimpCrackers being dugg down? Isn't it at all interesting that it works on the other systems?
- happytedium, on 10/10/2007, -5/+23Nice. Had a MacBook Pro (15", 2.4Ghz 2GB RAM) for about 3 weeks now. ***** brilliant. Love it.
- neffy, on 10/10/2007, -8/+26Funniest comment in a while. Thanks for that.
- BlueStarr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Look at the dock....see the arrows under the app? that means they're open... I counted 80.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17You are an idiot.
- halans, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20What, no Parallels with Windows running?
- MikeFromAmerica, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16AoE 3 is available for Macs!!!
- dclowd9901, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Yeah, seriously. Don't be a dock blocker.
- Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18I was playing around one day, trying to see just how much ***** I could open in expose, and I did the same thing. My MacPro, the first iteration, @3.0Ghz with 8 gigs of ram can open all 117 applications in about 42 seconds. I'd say the extra ram helps the most cause I'm not caching as much to the HD.
- bartendercorey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16If your system crashed how where you able to take the screenshot then?
