Pottemeat you probably need to shut the fuck up!

In my last post I said I was unfamiliar with flash players, I figured they were all similar to the iShuffle, but Apple was just capitalizing the shuffle function.

After earthtoandys informative post I realized that most other flashes have LCD screens, leading to bulk and increased cost. I've never shopped for or looked at flash players, I love my ipod tremendous 15 gigs, so I was unaware of this. I figured most probably did not have screens.

Thanks earthtoandy!

Fuck off pottemeat!

heh no prob...besides it my job, literally.

but sometimes it can be hard to grasp the Apple vision and the reason is sometimes they take something seemingly mainstream but revolutionize it through philosophy and not always something as obvious as hardware. Apple is ALL about innovation.

I cant freakin wait for Tiger! This is gonna blow EVERYTHING away.

Is anyone else scratching their head after this post? Dead pixels on a CRT? There are no set pixels on a CRT, it's just a cathode ray firing against the back of the screen. CRT = no native pixels, no native resolution. Your monitor may be fucked up but you do not have dead pixels. What a fucking dumbshit.

Apple is so incredible. No one makes computers and electronics and software like them now. Suck it, Microsoft and Dell!

Try looking closer at a CRT. Those little rectangles? Pixels. Maybe not like you see in an LCD, but similar none the less.

And for those of you loving the Mac Mini, check the specs on Tiger. Nothing like buying a machine that you know won't run all the features of their next OS...

I love just the looks of all of Apples products, everything is just so clean and well defined. I really hope a G5 is some where in the works though.

If you've got dead pixels on a CRT, either your video card is seriously fucked up or, if your mesh within the CRT somehow got corroded or fused, you'd see a blurred black spot. To repeat the other bloke, CRT = no native pixels, no native resolution. Learn your monitor technology.

have you seem the primlimanary specs for "Longhorn" not many machines now will handle that well... of course thats not coming out for at least a couple years so i guess there is nothing to worry about.

and they will simply be trying to catch up but tiger will blow it away. They are attempting some Tiger features but they will blow. This could be the moment things begin to completely change. People are starting to see through the Microsoft bullshit.

Simple:

You have some Longhorn Steer grazing away in the meadow. A Tiger 1/3 it's size leaps out and bites the shit out of it, making it it's bitch. The Longhorn lies bleeding whilst the Tiger struts its stuff. However, the Longhorn blindsides the Tiger by unleashing $6 Billion worth of lawyers and marketing firms; they attack from all sides.

Suddenly your grandmother is telling you how much stronger the Longhorn is than the Tiger. Despite the fact that it chews cud and has no claws. And it's 3 years late. And it's copying all the other animals (penguin now included).

This is your Longhorn, and he chews cud like a motherfucker.
