Can that machine access it's own system and do things like, ahem, install software? Or has the Mac company pulled off the same shit that it and it's sister/cousin, MS does?, which is to make sure, before the fuck, that they are third cousons or better.... so they won't be charged with the insest they are, in fact, doing? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Get a pc, there are little ones....... Put Ubuntu into it. Macs are for boys who dress up like girls and complain when they get cold in a fuckin winter storm. Whaaaaaaa. Whaaaaaaaaa. [I love you, funtom, no sweat. I am just bein a smart-ass]
Great machines! They can store film, music and pictures! Permanently! That is so cool! Portable media is The Best Thing Ever Happened. Ever. And you can share with your friends and family. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Steve Jobs is doing what he has always done: FUCK the customer. He is well known as the biggest raging egomaniac in the valley.
Steve Jobs knows what he's doing, the didn't get to where he is by playing stupid and fucking everybody over. He's smart, he's not fucking the customers, he's fucking Adobe with a big fat youknowwhat. Flash is old, it's a resource hog, it was never meant for portable devices, it needs constant plugin updates, which are frequently incompatible with each other. Jobs doesn't want that kind of rubbish and then customers complaining about it TO HIM. So we'll have to wait a bit, wait for HTML5. Jobs is helping to get rid of flash. Someone has to stand up and lead the way, who better than apple?
What an argument! Is Java updates free? Every software needs updates, updates are good, updates are improvement. Pls give me some proofs, this is totally bullshit. Yes, we could wait for HTML5. How long? Half year? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years? Ok, if you have so much time so wait, but I'll use "my" flash NOW, because flash NOW knows all what is in HTML5 only on paper in this time... btw: can you imagine where will be flash after 2-3 years, when will be (maybe) HTML5 functional? Again 2-3 years ahead A lot of ppl hates Flash, I know it very, very well, but it's because knows only one big shit about it. They loves HTML+CSS, but when they want true display of their web in every browser, they needs mb 30 versions and still testing and testing and testing... Flash player have penetration about 99%, when you make something, you know, that it will be ok in EVERY browser and EVERYBODY could run it. Yes, except few idiots like Steve Jobs. One practice: try uninstall the flash player from your computer and just use the internet. Try it. You'll see what all is flash in these days, but you see just that stupid banners. Today, flash is not ad banners, flash are aplications from Flex Builder (Flash Builder) too. And it's quite different cup of tea. But I agree with you in one thing- Steve Jobs knows what he's doing and knows it very well. Just make a money, that's all. And it's ok, why not.
I hear there are a lot of flash related problems on linux and mac os, so not EVERYBODY, and the fact that flash is heavy on resources is a pretty valid argument for PORTABLE, BATTERY OPERATED hardware. Oh and the omnipresence of flash is a bad thing also. WWW does not like proprietary software. It's gotta go, the sooner the better.
Which problems? I know just about some problems with some character sets (cyrilic, etc.). And btw: linux is one big problem for a lot of developers and programs, not only for flash. Mac OS- i don't know this system, so i can say nothing, just this- if you try to watch some adobe tutorials (for flex and flash too), all of teachers (evangelists) using MACs so i don't think that there is a lot of problems. It's not mainly problem of flash, i think it's about developer's skill, I saw a lot webs/presentations for which was not 2 cores processor enough. But ok- FP 10.1 (now available as beta) will be small revolution in this, because FP 10.1 is designed for mobility, the result is more than -50% of resources. You'll see, I have it so I know Why is this problem just for the Flash? Why not for Java? Skype? Opera? IE? Proprietary software is not problem for www, just for you Ok, write now some plus for the case that Flash Player is open source. There is not problem for Adobe to make Flash Player as open source, it's not about money, FP is free, but more versions of Flash Player = more optimizing for all versions. And completely pointless. For this we have browsers and CSS etc.... If there will be something better than Flash, so ok, but - nothing. btw: I don't think that Flash is number 1 for all web sites and web applications, but Flash is damn good for some kind of webs and for some applications (P2P, etc.).
Steve Jobs got to where he is because most Apple users ARE stupid. He is smart, he fucked his partner, he fucked anyone who got in his way. He fucked the Apple computer: he made the Lisa, he made the Apple 3 total disasters and it nearly broke the company. He went to Xerox PARC and what he couldn't buy, he stole and called it the Macintosh and he ordered all the Lisa computers destroyed (10,000 units in one warehouse) Lisa, named after his girlfriend of the time... Now the "new apple computers" are intel based and Mac OS X is just some version of unix. Jobs was against ALL the things that made the Apple 2 worth owning. Jobs even screwed the Beatles when he named the company Apple, the Beatles agreed (Apple Records) to allow the name as long as Apple Computers Inc. would NOT engage in ANY music business..... ha ha ha. Jobs had to renegotiate the Apple name when they got into the music business. That time someone called him on his shit. When Jobs was secure that he had a customer base that was mostly anit-establishment he put the screws to them. The highest profit mark-up of any of the PC factories. IBM could not believe they were making 55% mark-ups. When other companies started making clones of the Apple 2, far better than the Apple 2, such as the German Basis Computer and the Franklin Ace 1000 and 1200, Apple made violent attacks and lawsuits blocking the production of superior machines . Did Apple improve their product at all??? Nope. Now Apple Computer is no more. it is Apple consumer electronics. Just another rip-off company to profit on the snob appeal of their ignorant customer base. So if you got tired of collecting Swatches you now can start collecting Apple i-product. I am sure Jobs joined the owl worshiping counter revolutionary cadre.... May he rot in hell.... hopefully in iHell......
Sorry but it's a subject too close to home...... the 6502 was a great processor family, they were my friends..... and The Waz was The Wiz
But now they're increasing market share, no? I was in your town, meeting Mr. J during the clone days. They're still going pretty well, you gotta admit. The founder developers were "eccentric," for sure.
I can lend few dvd's? Via internet? It's great, it has tons of porn. Really! Isn't Jobs a millionaire? Maybe he can offer some bucks to neighbours to give some live show? (Watching porn from stamp size display is really annoying, not a good way.)
rly? no experience here ... maybe Job's wife hates when he watching a porn... and they have small toilet with no place for a regular inotebook
I know it -But look, HTML5 is just for Safari and Chrome, for IE and Firefox u must install (oh nooo!!!) google chrome frame -The great thing is that HTML5 did the first steps with vectors animations. Say "Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!" Flash knows it ~14 years. I am really curios, when will be HTML5 with 3D mapping, just like this http://www.unitzeroone.com/labs/vertexmap/ (click to the object) or if will be this http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2010/01/world/haiti.360/index.html?hpt=C1 normal for HTML5 too -P2P is for HTML5 still utopia -there is still some problems with sound in HTML5 Flash is not rly for some few idiots, i found for you one example from your country: http://www.riaspace.net/2009/10/r-q...banking-solution-from-raiffeisen-bank-polska/ https://www.r-bank.pl/web/en/air/ HTML5 will be maybe good, but not for now, now it is still in process, as I wrote earlier, you could wait, I will make money rather in this time. And by the way, try to develop something in Flex, it's quite easy and if you know Java or C#, Action Script will be easy for you too. And you'll see how fast is developing in Flex. And time is money...
