smarthouse.com.au — Five years ago, Apple Computer was barely an afterthought in the halls of electronics companies. Not anymore. With its best-selling iPods and landmark licensing deals with music and television moguls propelling new ways of consuming digital media, Apple now is the pacesetter.

I just don't get this Apple thing. Ok the Ipod I have is cool. But Imacs? And the terrible operating system OX. My office uses OX and it is a real pain to use compared to Windows; no right click menu, and the windows are so difficult to manage - OX? No thanks.

I can't wait until I can afford an iPod, so I pay $1.99 to watch a TV show I could have watched for free or a 2 1/2 inch screen. Apple rules!

"I've been selling Windows PCs on the side for $100 or less through classified Ads for over 5 years in newspapers. I make about double what I had payed for the PC. The most common reason people buy these systems I sale... their current windows pc has a virus and they can not boot and they just need something to browse the net with and they do not know how to install f**king windows. I pull the hard disk (if they have their PC with them) and place it in an external firewire drive, plug it into my OS X mac, recover their s**t, and preach "Why waist time and money with this, switch to Fedora or some form of linux, or even pay $100 for a used G3 off Ebay to run OS X". I get this look like a dear in headlights and they ask "Does it have Solitair?" and sell the Windoes/Web-Herpies vulnerable junk to them to save some of my time, and get paid. Now, I sale used Mac G3s (for low end cheap people). Who wants to spend their free time playing with Norton, SpyBot, SpyBot Nuker, Bazooka, AdwareX Eliminator, Spy Clean, Perfect Process, and Microsoft Windows Antispyware! I repair these damn things, I'd rather shoot myself in the face than to even look at another one on my own free time. Their is nothing worse than an Anti-Mac person talkin smack about something he/she has never used before especially if their reasoning is because they just think apple is gay, it's a computer, not a dildo. I think Linux Mandrake is gay, common, who calls control panels "Hard Drake" and gets away with it."did ur check spelling button disapear when u bought ur iCrapintosh? you ****s****rs put your iPropaganda on here non-stop, go find a real live woman and maybe realize there is more to life than sucking Steve W.'s dick

sony was the new appleyeah, its nice to hear whose on topbut to compare apples and sonys is to miss the key point:sony was a market leader when it began to be inexpensive to build gadgetsthen sony was so dumb their products became commoditesand then the software revolution came along, and guess who had none?

Let's see if I have this straight. Sony installs root kits on our computers to report what we are listening to, a clearly bad thing. The public finds out about it, and everyone wants to sue Sony and punish them into oblivion. Apple does something similar with itunes software, and all the apple folks say... Ohhhhh, it's Apple, ..... it's OK, lets just forget about it.... ahhhhh. Have I missed anything. Peace
