Tell me something I didn't already know!

Tango · 05-05-2005, 09:22 AM

surprising that MAC hasn't used that video/sound clip in some promotions

Manowar · 05-05-2005, 09:23 AM

it is the system he stole most of his ideas from

BigRod · 05-05-2005, 09:27 AM

That would be a sweet advertising tool, but would beg for a lawsuit

Oh Please.....
That's a clip from about 20 years ago at the launch of the Mac, where Microsoft was pushing their applications for it.
And at the time, it was new and exciting.

Nobody "stole the ideas from Mac." The whole graphical user interface didn't come from Apple or Microsoft, it came from Xerox, specifically the PARC research facility. But being "copier heads" Xerox didn't realize what they had. Just liek IBM had no clue when Bill Gates made the deal of the century with them.

If you guys wanna talk shit, try reading a history book once in a while and get your facts straight before making wild twisted conclusions based on an out of context clip.

You guys want to hear something funny?

I FUCKING HATE QUICKTIME! Can't load that clip, so I say: "FUCK MAC", I don't care what Bill Gates says...

I just found out that the Mac OS is built on Unix? Is that correct?

I do a lot of Perl (command line) script batches and the newest Macs look like the ultimate workhorses for this (Perl is built in)!

Gotta get one.

OS X is built on Free BSD.

Is "windows" and "a mac" the same thing?

Compairing software to a full machine is rather odd.

wtfent · 05-05-2005, 12:34 PM

Why any body would ever use a pc, I dont know?
