October 14th - fact or fake

[Tallest Skil]

1. You don't know most people on the forum, and you assume they are all just like you, being clueless and hysterical towards Apple.

2. You failed to admit the first mistake and repeated it again in your reply.

Normal people won't be moaning at Apple for their failed expectation just like YOU would do, "Tallest Skil" (whatever you really are, but who gives a damn).

But maybe YOU do? From the way you portraited it, you must know well what the idiotic feeling is like

I'd like you to go back through my posts and find one in which I am upset at Apple for not providing something that I believed they would prior to a Stevenote. That's all I'm saying; people get mad because they expect something outlandish that Apple would never provide. I've seen it time and again.

I bought a Penryn a month ago and just sold it for pretty much the same 2 days ago, nicely positioned for the new release. Therefore I have no reason to bash at Apple, whatever happens.

Pretty much the best thing you could have done in this situation. I'd have done the same if I were still in the country.

btw, leader of the pessimists? Don't let your illusion running too wild.

I'd be surprised if you found someone who isn't a troll that is less optimistic than me.

If you can't do the same before replying others posts, why would you ask others to so? Is it because you are always like that?

Really? I am not sure you are capable of doing the same. But then again, I don't speculate others on false ground like you have been doing

I'd be surprised if I ever found anyone who doesn't think you are a troll

He may come across as a pessimistic jerk sometimes, but Tallest Skil is not a troll.

And I removed the bold because it's just not necessary.

well, jumping on the forum and accused someone on a false ground, and continue to do so for a second time, "troll" may not be appropriate word, indeed.

In England, we define someone with such behaviour as "****"

Why is it so hard for a 19 year old to admit his mistake and apologise for causing such a stir?

In terms of me going back to check on your history of rant threads? I realize that you haven't made any, and I didn't believe that you would. I was only speaking for the sake of the people who would read and believe you*. There's an old saying, "Head 'em off at the pass."

Really? I am not sure you are capable of doing the same. But then again, I don't speculate others on false ground like you have been doing

I haven't the foggiest idea what you mean by this. I'm in Ireland, my computer is from the U.S. There wouldn't be enough buyers here to be worth my while. You speculated when you said there would be a Cinema Display update*.

*I apologize for how a misinterpretation has degenerated into a contest of idiocy on both our parts. Wait... that's not what this asterisk was for...

Here we go. If you're right, that's fricking awesome. I've been wrong before, virtually always for the better. That's all I'm trying to say, that's all I'm hoping for. I want to be wrong when I'm pessimistic; there's just no sense in baseless optimism for a company with a history of disappointment. If Apple comes out with something that I wrote about them not, all the better for everyone who believed me; they're ecstatic now. If they believed me and Apple didn't give them what I said they wouldn't, also okay. It's the dashing of hopes and dreams that I'm trying to avoid.

Again, I apologize for what nickcliborne interpreted as an "epeen" fight, and I do hope that we get Cinema Display updates... but make them cheaper!

Good, then please don't make statements sound like I would. Tricks like inserting negative implications are only reserved for the lowlife tabloids and FOX News.

You speculated when you said there would be a Cinema Display update*.

well, I'd like to think it's more than just "baseless optimism", but then again, it's not easy to make one spits out all the beams. May your wish come true on the ACD

Bookmarked.

Was curious as to how this one would turn out.

Gandhi you are not.

seriously though, wtf is a 'filming course'

prepare to be surprised, n00b.

 

[RavenWinds]

seriously though, wtf is a 'filming course'

its a course where the focus is primerally on filming.

mine is called 'Media Studies and Production'. it allowed me to chose between production work on either photography, radio, video or websites (creation and management).

i chose video work, hence filming

so video production.

 

[RavenWinds]

so video production.

basically yes

allthough i tend to call it filming a lot

sorry if that confused some people

it did not confuse, it just sounds stupid and pretentious.

i never ment to come across as that! and im not trying to make myself sound good at what i do either.

on my part it was a bad choice of words

megamouse...

Honestly megamouse, I've seen many more posts by Tallest skil than you. He is not a troll, he just comes across as blunt. He never even said YOUR thread was an idiotic rant, read the context of the sentence again.

Some people really can't take having been told they're wrong... I used to be like that, not be able to take the fact that I was wrong, I'd fight, even if someone proved me wrong - when I was 13.

Really? I am not sure you are capable of doing the same. But then again, I don't speculate others on false ground like you have been doing

I don't know why you became so hostile towards him, he just said in ONE post that you didn't know anything because he assumed you were guessing and that you didn't know anyone with insider information. I'm not saying you're wrong and he may have been wrong saying that you know nothing, but he hasn't said anything even close to being hostile since that first post. I'm probably never gonna return to this thread so don't bother replying with one of those huge flames, just wanted to make a point.

 

[macinprince]

People are hostile against him as he speaks to people like dirt. In a different thread he says to a guy who has just put a post on about possible specs of the new macbooks "Stick to our rules or get banned. Search!"

Im sorry but if someone said that to my face i would get the anchor out!

No need to talk to people like that.

Remember. EDUCATE , DONT INCRIMINATE!
Come on give me some +1's on that statement!

 

[megamouse]

You can read into it however you like. I am NOT trying to kick off the ball again.

Tallest Skil and I don't even know each other.

I spread caution and pessimism because if you expect something to be included and it isn't, you become unjustly angry at Apple for not giving you what you "deserve" and then you come on the forums and make idiotic rant threads. If people don't expect things to be outlandishly stupidly good, they won't be disappointed when they inevitably aren't.

Peace

1. rumors about nvidia 8600 cards failing in current macbook pros. Confirmed as fakes according to tallest skil (sp)

I wouldnt say thats a "rumor" but that as a fact, and pretty much all 2007 up to september model macbook pro 2008 models are affected by the bad substrate, weak packaged die since they all used the same materials in the manufacturing process.

This is why apple added an additional 1 year warranty to take care of the matter all at once.

1. New Apple Laptops will come out in the 2nd half of October.

2. A low end model of ACD will also come out with LED screen and a built-in magsafe charge for your laptop. And yes, it does look like the new iMac.

3. I just bought my MBP, If you need it, then buy it, or use uni's computer for the time being.


You can choose NOT to believe, but you are welcome to check back to this post in a month's time.
