This is a "flexible yardstick"-- the figures Jobs gave during the Keynote are questionable, and the Switch campaign itself is not directly responsible for making the sales neccessary to increase marketshare. It's aimed at "drifters"--or people on the fence. It's there to encourage people that...

Dan Farber, can you say "bribe"?

BTW-- There are only two types of chicks that can be "just friends". That's your mother and your sister. Everything else is fair game.

Flirting vs. Talking? I'm going to be a bit of a rude boy here (but I'm allowed, it's our manhood we're talking about) and say this: If you want to get with the chick it's flirting, if you want to get the study assignment it's talking. If you find yourself not knowing what to say next or...

Ah, so you have a fear of viruses, eh? Isn't there a phobia associated with that?

Oh man, you're askin' me to lose my religion... but that's the point... the Apple crowd makes it a crime to own a PC... I think I'd be happy if it were all 50/50 at this point, don't you? I think the problem with using Apple for greater than 2/3 of my life is that I now suffer from abulia and...

Now I'm confused... all the detour signs are being put up... which way is the can? Oh no, wait, which thread are we in now?

lol where's the pointing lauging smiley face? By all means, resume your bashfest. :D

Okay, my main criticisms about Keynote are related to my dissapointment in where I see Apple heading right now. I honestly think Apple is doing everything they can to milk revenue directly from the LAUB without trying to compete head on with Microsoft. Stealth puts it in perspective for...

Okay man, I'm diggin' your vibe. We'll see how it goes for Apple. Deep down I wish they had spent the time on something else. :D

Well, I've spent the last ten years of my life learning how to merge "pure business" with "abstract creative". Trying to mix the two for the sake of aesthetics is pointless. What about those who have no clue where the money comes from to pay the creatives? Somebody's got to tend to the...

lol... sure it does... :confused: I'm not saying you shouldn't be professional, but the level of "professionalism" you need to get the job done is available in PowerPoint. You're suggesting that Keynote is incapable of allowing humans to put a hack job together if they use it, which is not true...

lol (in general, not at you)... I WISH!!!! Forgive me, but this is not true at all. I really wish it were. Successful presentations get the point across in the least amount of time. That's about it. Like I said, if "flash" is required, then you wouldn't need Keynote--you may go BB's way and...

Wait, are we discussing keynote or Apple Comptuer in general? :D

With all due respect, when you give a presentation to people, you don't wow them with a dog and pony show. It's that simple. People see presentations all f*cking day long. They want the bottom line as quickly as possible so they can call it a day and go home. Keynote may impress the gals at the...

Well thanks fryke, but I'm still not convinced to switch yet... I've given them the side by side and I'm not impressed. I'll wait until Apple decides to stop releasing betas on us.

I also agree with this statement: Microsoft and Intel understand this completely. Standards exist in the industry not because of a secret, evil conspiracy. They exist because, in many circumstances, conformity is more important than perfection. That's why the two companies, and the rest of...

I'm sorry guys, but I have to agree wholeheartedly with this statement: Technically, it was fabulous--and completely impractical. Microsoft's PowerPoint exists for one reason: Sales representatives use it to lull their audiences into an agreeable mood before asking for money. "Your company...

Chimera? And it's not the preloaded bookmarks he's talking about, it's the autocomplete feature, which is REALLY loading the browser, yeah? (autocomplete and bookmarks are two different animals) :moo:

I don't think so. I think Safari Sucksfari, and here's why: 1. Not as fast on my machine as latest build of Chimera. Also not as "snappy" when loading pages. 2. Autocomplete has some sites in there I haven't even visited or have no reason to visit. My prime example: 1800FLOWERS. I don't...
