I'm in Canada, your guess about year is right. but i'm 23 yrs old.
you can't understand my feelings.
girls and their feelings. you are feeling frustrated, but saying you are sweating is neither necessary nor cute, which i believe is why chinese girls say "sweating" or do the o_o''' (do you do the index finger+middle finger+ring finger going down cheek thing? you've watched way too much japanese animate)
i think language support is key issue for Chinese mac users (the community is not big)
this very issue is not a problem of language support. OS X support chinese characters just fine. it does better most of the cases than Windows. didn't you say it wouldn't display properly on windows either? guess what, windows media player probably wont display it correctly either!
i'm not defensing os x, just so you know, i'm just stating facts. it's because it's written in a chinese os environment where person who typed the title and etc in didn't consider ppl with non-chinese computer would read it, hence didn't use unicode. (hence OSs dont know what language the words are in)
this is not the case of language support, not that there aren't those problems. for instance, the chinese input method in os x could be improved.
but it won't matter if you are too lazy to type anyway.
i can show you, you know, we can't view msn' space using safari.( it's less combatibility) don't get me wrong again. i like safari.then we could switch to firefox, guess what? it looks like this. words become thin and thick.
wouldn't that be poor coding on the webmaster of MSN's part? please do notice MSN stands for Microsoft Network (at least in the beginning), which means all their webpages are developed with internet explorer user in mind, they probaly did little if at all testing with safari... (and firefox for mac, i think, is quite similar to safari in the way they translate webpage, no?)
i'm thinking why apple is sweeping away Chinese mac users. (this is definitely an issue, believe me.) china is a big market.
oh, believe me, apple is not taking a big bite on chinese market definitely not because the chinese music doesn't show up right in itunes. it's mostly because there are not nearly enough retailers in china, not enough technical support. but i dont blame apple for not paying too much attention, most average consumers would see the price tag before doing a bit more research, and chinese
average people do NOT care about the specs, just the cheapest (and you'll have to agree with me on this, if you are chinese) ... if you step in the computing selling plazas (for the lack of better words), you would hardly see any proper store front (there are some, very little thou). most ppl would know some friends who know marginally how to put together a computer, for a quarter of what apple charges (granted, may not be as powerful, but they dont care, as long as it runs windows, and word, that's mostly all they need), and they will not spend one more penny on it then absolutely necessary. that's average chinese people. they don't always think about future proof, heck, they'd use a computer for 6 or 7 yrs without upgrading. (i'm not just talking air either, i KNOW these people, personally).
granted, there are some ppl who do care about their computer, but since most don't, i dont blame apple not spending too much money.
but again, in term of language support, apple is doing a fantasitc job in supporting chinese.
compatibility with microsoft stuff is more microsoft's responsiblity, they should've done better coding in designing msn space. (yes it bothers me too, but then i just launch parallels)
