R.I.P. Steve Jobs. A modern day version of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on October 5, 2011, 8:05 pm - (1 votes)

"Yesterday, Apple jumped onto the social networking bandwagon with iTunes Ping...." Awwwww crap. Now I suppose my employer will take away our access to iTunes now. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 2, 2010, 4:12 pm - (0 votes)

Yesterday, Apple jumped onto the social networking bandwagon with iTunes Ping. I like Ping, but there are already spammers on it, and not may artists are on it. -- Submitted By: (MacFan95) on September 2, 2010, 1:02 pm - (0 votes)

While I believe over time Apple has actually gotten better than PC, the fact is Steve Jobs despite his initial success had the wrong idea about marketing his brand at first. He was only fortunate that the Apple II debuted in a time when the open format PC computers didn't yet exist, and it's true that he did make things easy for people. Problem is, people first needed a reason to have computers and when Microsoft buttered up to IBM he ended up getting a hard lesson of how the business world worked. Because IBM had numerous relations with businesses across the country, they could sell their PCs to businesses and people who have the same computer at work will want the same computer at home because it was the only way to get things done. Likewise, since Microsoft owned the operating system, it was that company that prevailed because of their selling of the system to other computer companies. The Macintosh, as Jobs thought, was such an easy to use machine he thought that alone would sell the computer, likewise he even thought he could get away with everyone buying from him. But he wouldn't accept that it didn't work that way and ended up quitting Apple in 1985 over his spite. This left Apple without direction for a decade and eventually Jobs came back, having learned his lesson and taking advantage of the internet world to make the Mac a more relevant machine than it had been in the past. Additionally he expanded his business beyond the Mac with the iPod, iPhone, and it did wonders. Meanwhile the open format had proved to be the worse system over time due to it's vulnerability issues with hackers and viruses, thus resulting in the User Access Control on Vista which sadly makes a computer not very friendly to use. -- Submitted By: (jconifer7) on June 1, 2010, 10:52 am - (1 votes)

Apple was a computer Powerhouse with the Apple II. They boned the fish with the Macintosh that was difficult to upgrade and expand with no plug-in peripherals and very expensive compared to the PC compatible computers. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on November 24, 2009, 10:52 pm - (0 votes)

I have both a Mac and Windows PC. I like them both. But to me, a Mac is a little bit easier to use. It might be because I used it all the time at school when I was a kid (Ironically, I am using a Windows PC to go online as I write and post this). Mac is better for graphics and design, such as Adobe products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), while Windows is more ideal for everything else (I find Windows to be better than Mac when it comes the internet). Alas, graphic design tends to have more expensive products, hence one of the reasons Mac costs more than Windows. But, yeah, I wish the people in charge of advertising the Mac would stop appealing to the "cool" crowd and actually give them very good reasons why they should get a Mac ("Because it's cooler than a PC" doesn't cut it!). -- Submitted By: (Robert) on June 1, 2009, 1:06 pm - (0 votes)

Their slick packaging and even slicker ad campaigns have made it cool to pay a 40% markup for a machine no more capable than a Dell, HP, Sony...I'll admit that Apple's business model is pure genious: design a machine and market it to "the cool kids" as a must-have status symbol, and keep the fanboys under your thumb by creating an all Mac platform with all Mac hardware and all Mac software.
If a closed system and a lack of innovation appeals to you, then you've had too much of the kool-aid already, and probably stopped reading this comment four sentences ago. -- Submitted By: (dirk713) on May 25, 2009, 9:13 pm - (0 votes)
