So still pretty fresh news, but Steve Jobs just passed. What says you?
Me, the world is a better place because of him. Innovative. Also, slightly poorer...

Let him RIP I just find it ironic he goes the day after the 4S is released.

I would say Jobs set the highest bar for portable device standards in terms of feeling, looks, and functionality (basically everything). I'm sad to see Jobs go. He pushed for perfection, and it was only then everyone else tried. Thus, the endless 'iphone, ipod, ipad killers' and various comparisons.
When it comes to Macbooks, iMacs and MacPros: Only buy them if you use art-related applications. If you get a mac for anything else, you are an idiot. It is only then you are overpaying. I can tell you all Adobe products and Protools 9 HD work waaaaaaay better on a mac than on PC. Also, macs can use FCP. This is all industry standard stuff. I'm not exactly sure why macs tend to work better, but from my experience, art applications just seem to work better. That being said I own 2 macs: 27" iMac for ProTools and Adobe. MacBook Pro for ProTools. I also own 1 old gaming PC (5 years at least). Also, I have both of my macs dual booted with Windows. Yes, I'll buy a new PC in the coming months. |

I am a Windows System Administrator for a living, in no way an artist and I love these things far more than any windows system I've ever used. I find that I am probably about 80% more productive using a Mac than a PC. At this point my PC exists only for gaming. Doesn't make you an idiot Mac's aren't for everyone, some people don't like them just because they are Macs. Some don't like them because they dont like the OSs. Some don't like them because they dont like the price. I love all of those things (well.. I can deal with the price for Quality.. ) - It's still funny for me to say that because I used to dispise macs when I was younger but they have come quite a long way since then. Like it or not Steve and Apple changed computing both mobile and non mobile for everyone. They are innovators that made the competition we see today with some awesome devices - no matter who's side you are on one has to agree with that.

Brown was the best color. Nice to have something besides black/white/silver and not BRIGHT COLOR like you tend to get otherwise. My dad has one and it was a really good purchase, especially with the monthly Zune subscription.
TBH, I'm not a fan of most Apple products, now that other makes have caught up a bit in industrial design I have no reason to own one (though I do own a 3GS - it's actually made me like them less, a fine device saddled in too much idiot-proofing and arbitrary restriction and good lord itunes is a shitty program). He/they forced a lot of innovation through, some good, some awesome, some kinda dumb, some silly (to be frank, the app-ification of computing peeves me). The better alternatives we've got to most Apple things wouldn't exist without Jobs

Well can't say I have ever liked Apple products. For me the iPhone was hugely overrated but I guess that is all my personal opinion and taste.
Still a shame to see anybody pass away in cancer. Obviously he has done a lot for the field since I am fairly alone in my opinion about Apple products. |
