So be quite.[/quote] Thanks for proving how little you know about both OSX, Linux, and computers in general. 1) OSX is loosely based on UNIX. 2) Linux is far from obscure/buggy. It's extremely scalable, and thus is used all over the place, from servers to PCs to DVD players. 3) Apple does NOT promote that's it's based on Linux, I don't think they want to be promoted as liars. Further, if it was based on Linux, then OSX would likely be illegal. 4) Creative did sue Apple yes- Apple's even worse about it though. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Apple monopolizes EVERYTHING they can get a grasp on. 5) My point about the ripping ideas is that saying this stuff is "new" is utter bullshit. It doesn't bother me so much that they're using the ideas.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post sydpao Posted at 10:12 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Here are some details... Wow, I'm so excited about this! hehehe What do you do when you reach enlightenment? Keep going. Mac OS X Tiger was ahead of its time in 2005. But that didn’t stop Apple engineers from moving forward. Get a glimpse of the not-so-distant future. Introducing Mac OS X Leopard. Use it, never lose it New in Leopard, Time Machine takes you beyond the backup. An automated system that regularly backs up everything on your Mac — music, photos, movies, documents — Time Machine also takes you back in time to restore your system. Enter Time Machine’s browser and look for files you may have deleted or lost, flip through multiple versions of the same project, or get a snapshot of your entire system from day one. Get the message Set your email to stun with Mail 3 in Leopard. Create amazing invitations, letters, travelogues, and more — complete with photos and graphics — using new Stationery templates. Just choose your template, then use the built-in Media Browser to drag in your photos and more. And when those RSVPs start filling your inbox, you’ll stay organized with new Notes and To-Dos you can access from any Mac or PC. Plus, security enhancements including anti-phishing protection in Mail and Safari make Leopard the safest Mac OS for all your communications. Show and tell iChat gets a double dose of fun and functionality in Leopard. Chat from virtually everywhere with video backdrops. Create a video alter-ego in iChat using fun effects from Photo Booth, built into Leopard. Set up an iChat Theatre session to put on a virtual slideshow or Keynote presentation. Or Initiate Screen Sharing and take control of a friend or colleague’s display. Enjoy the view Leopard improves the way you manage and access information on your Mac. For starters, with Spaces, you can organize your windows into different groups — work, play, communication, creation — and move between them all with ease. Spaces gives you a one-click bird’s eye view of every project. Plus, Dashboard adds new widgets that make life on the Web a one-click affair. Want to build your own Dashboard widgets? Dashcode gets your widgets running in minutes — even if you’ve never written a line of code. Shine a light Spotlight for Leopard introduces searching across network-mounted folders, so you can find what you need on more than one Mac. And with more powerful, flexible search options, Spotlight gives you more ways to find everything on your desktop — and beyond. Get ready, get set, get Leopard All these features and more are delivered to you in one universal, fully accessible, 64-bit operating system. Coming spring 2007. All features referenced in the Mac OS X Leopard

They let the OS do the work for them. And they don't spend alot of their time wasting away their lives on Games. They spend it producing things. And OS X not dumbed down, Its a system you don't ever have to tweak to get it to work unlike some shit OS ( Windows )   Except that I've never needed to tweak it, unless I want to adjust it to my preferences. And don't say OSX can do that automatically, because that's implying it's psychic. And the truth is, I can adjust more stuff to my liking under Windows (and especially Linux) than I can on a Mac, and I love to tweak that kind of stuff. I hate it when the OS assumes I shouldn't mess with it. That's what dumbing down means. I like having control over the system, not the other way around. I don't spend any time on viruses, because I don't get them unless I do something stupid. And if I do, it takes a few clicks to get rid of it. Simple. Productivity is generally considered for work purposes, home computers are generally used for recreational purposes unless you work out of the home, and even then nothing's baring you from playing. Don't be stupid here. You may as well stop ranting, because you've already shown you don't know what you're talking about (see my previous post), and are stuck on rant mode to boot, neither of which lends any credibility to your arguments, let alone the actual content of them.

Microsoft has stolen almost everything in thier shit Vista which is a peice of shit by itself. Hmm and Apple doesnt FORCE you to use thier computer DA. You have an option, and they say Mac's don't crash, but with you I am sure you would because Apple computer are probaly too advanced for you to even power on. I think you need to go back to school. At least my Apple works when other Windoze computer are using that great common feature. BSOD I said Apple was just as bad as MS when it came to stealing ideas, you idiot. Read my post next time. And Apple does force you to use their stuff- you can't use OSX without buying the hardware from Apple, you can't get OSX without all the software Apple gives you, etc. As for "advanced," anything but. OSX is the most dumbed down OS I've ever used. You sound exactly like an idiot mac fanboy that's never heard of the term "fact." If you'd ever actually tried running anything XP or later with hardware that wasn't broken, you might realize it doesn't crash very often. Oh look, Microsoft has not even released a new Version of Windows in the past 4 years. This matters why? Hmm and if you didn't know, Windows can run on a Mac too. But what idiot would even bother with Windows on a Mac Maybe because I want a system that isn't dumbed down. Maybe because I want to play a game. Maybe because I don't like Apple's hardware. But you're right, why would I install Windows on a Mac when I can put it on a PC and get so much more for cheaper? Hmm. I have XP and OS X on different computers and I have to say at least that a Mac won't download things in the background without you knowing it like windows does. And you can't say it doesn't because it does and I can prove that. Thats how if you visit a website with a virus and have no virus scanner you are in deep shit... And a Mac is HARDER to penetrate with a written virus designed for a Mac because of the way that OS TEN is Built (and windows wished they could be that way but they are too much of a Dumbass company to figure that out). Mine doesn't download in the background without me telling it to, I'm not sure what you put on yours that does. Don't even bother trying to prove, because you'd get nowhere fast. I'm not the only one that can watch my net traffic. And you clearly have no idea how viruses work, or scanners, or even the entire concept of demographics and logic. Stupidity is the greatest vulnerability to viruses, regardless of what OS you use. I'm not even going to touch security issues, especially when all you can do is spout spin lines. Apple is Based of Unix which is way more superior than NTFS Yes idiot, please keep proving you have no idea what you're talking about. Unix is an OS, NTFS is a file system. Not comparable. And Mac is far from the only unix-based OS. pleaseremove Posted at 4:25 pm on Sep. 27, 2006 Quote: from Cingular Wireless at 12:03 am on Sep. 28, 2006 Quote: from pleaseremove at 1:38 pm on Aug. 20, 2006 Oh look, almost all of those features have been around on server version of windows for the last 4 years and the rest is eye candy, no more.

Try running your windows machine as a user, not as admin. Then you will be in the same position that you are on your mac. The only real security difference between windows and OS is that windows allows full admin and its th default for most users as their machines are single user, whereas macs force you to use a user account and actually never let you log in as full root.

Well, pitty for them... they won't be experienceing what i'm experienceing.. i don't want to persuade them... guess they already chose to suffer... hehehe Suffer? Let's see... by not using a mac, I save hundreds of dollars, hours of headaches, I get the ability to actually play games if I want to, I don't have to deal with Apple's monopolistic software, and I get access to a much, much larger variety of hardware and software. I'd say variety of OSes too, but Linux will run on a Mac. Yeah... apparently you call that suffering. Hmm and if you didn't know, Windows can run on a Mac too.

And apple is WORSE than microsoft when it comes to monopolizing, far, far, FAR worse. At least microsoft sticks to software. Apple forces hardware on you. Worse yet, Apple prosocutes anyone who even might have some resemblence geometrically in the most obscure way to their products. Don't believe me? Look up "pod" lawsuits. Anyways, Leopard doesn't really impress me that much, especially when you post a propaganda piece like that. Hmm, I assume you like talking out your ass?

BSOD littleb2005 Posted at 10:10 am on Sep. 23, 2006 i got to agree with pleaseremove and the user who got tux as there avatar   Relating to windows 2000 and xp   Unless u had bad hardware or didn't know what you were doing then 2000 or xp were fine operating systems to use   well after sp2 for xp come out it got a lot better believe me that msblaster worm drove me nuts   yes windows is the most used OS and has i lot of bugs but so does macosx and Linux before anyone bring up spy-ware and virus it very easy to keep yourself away from them if you know what your doing Relating to macosx i got to agree that it more stable because of it UNIX underneath http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/unix/ there also fink for macosx and darwinports allow u to run unix programs but windows can just last as long   as well the good thing about apple is there hardware just works aka no driver installs no need for anti-virus or worry about big time PC Trojan doing damage   what do i like about apple instead of there hardware   is there ilife suite it just works there apps are integrated with each other making them great tools   if Microsoft ever bundle there OS with stuff like that i jump ship believe me   i thinks mac get used more for creative stuff but I'm not sure if that changing now Relating To Linux i love tux as much as my heart will let me but he still got a long way to go even know the OS is free well most of them anyway   for Linux you got to make sure you hardware works with it and you got to adapt to a whole new desktop enjoyment aka kde or gnome or for you terminal lovers   you got fluxbox afterstep you name it just make sure u know the comand line and know how to complie from source depending if the programs come in binary form or not   Relating to this thread in general i see leopard windows vista a major disappointed for one reason BLOATWARE for a number of reasons   apple 1. do i need time machine nope i use superduper and like the old fashion way of backing up not apple way 2. spaces no need for it as there already freeware tools that do that on macosx   3. Dashboard no need and there widgets if u leave your computer on for more for a week have huge memory leaks   Windows Vista do i need the new aero interface or widgets   or windows live nope i like the old way aka msn the old look of xp or windows 2000 would be nice if they allow that   and for Linux which i see as a big plus   even if kde and gnome get bloated u always got windows mangers   what i trying to say is all OS have there faults and all the speculation of the new OS are nice but they all come at a price which is money and the hardware to run it   i know Linux is free but depending on how u do thing u got a hell of a learning curve Stormblazer Posted at 2:15 pm on Sep. 22, 2006 Quote: from sydpao at 3:37 am on Sep. 21, 2006 Quote: from Stormblazer at 1:09 pm on Sep. 16, 2006 Quote: from sydpao at 8:37 am on Sep. 16, 2006   oh really?? can windows give the stability that MAc OS X can??? wow, pitty for windows users...    Sure it can.
