My signature speaks the truth and is not some sort of joke or sarcasm. How is it not thinking rationally? Are you giving credit to people that call others "Fanboys and Trolls"? If you do then I'm certainly not the one with irrational thinking. I like how you personally judged me based on what is in my signature? Let's keep the discussion in tact and not make this personal shall we? Remember I didn't attack you.
I beg to differ. Aidenshaw's post spoke full allegiance to Microsoft. He certainly was defending them and preaching how well they've made strides in the business. If I went to a Windows forum and said all those amazing things about Apple I'd be called an Apologist, a Fanboy and be accused of drinking the Kool-Aid, so what reply would you expect from me after what he wrote about Microsoft on a Mac forum?
Unfortunately Apple today would be right where they were back in the day with their superior hardware, nowhere. I've been using Macs exclusively for 14 years but the software thing was always an issue as Windows became more "popular" and Microsoft started sabotaging Apple's game plan. Apple moving to Intel and catering to the masses not only has helped them of course, but they've offered quite a bit more for their customers buying today then they did back then just because they moved on. Had they not moved on their customers would be with limited software choice and overly expensive hardware. For them to make the Macbook Air for $999 and still offer a quality product just shows they are offering what the customer needs and wants and for a price they can afford. How is that a step backwards?
Could you explain exactly why you think the first Intel Macs (from 2006, 5 YEARS AGO, BTW) are "left in the dust"? Can you not run Snow Leopard on them? Can you not install Windows on them? Can you not use an iPhone 4 with them? Can you not run the same peripherals on them as you can on the latest Macs? To my knowledge the answer is no, so please explain?
Right except your signature isn't correct 100% of the time. The iPad only has 256MB RAM. The iPhone 3G on;y had 128MB. iPhone 3G ran iOS 2.0, 3.0 with out any issues. with iOS 4 (even iOS 4.1) its now wicked slow, and unusable. I can't stand it. (My brother has his iPhone 3G lying around, he has the iPhone 4 because the 3G got too slow with iOS 4.) So considering (for me) the older iOS devices get slooow after several major iOS upgrades, I assume the iPad will do the same.
Back when it was discovered iPad only has 256MB RAM, I was rajing in anger because I was considering buying a 64GB 3G model... and knowing that its most likely going to have the same fate as my Original iPod touch, iPhone, iPhone 3G, and 2nd gen touch (get wicked slow of the last iOS Apple supports for them.
I was called a troll. I called others fanboys. How isn't a person who says how good it is that the iPad runs smoothly with 256MB RAM (person also knows the fate of older iOS devices) considered a fanboy?
Thanks what I want to know.
