Harmony Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 their flair for 'innovation' isn't really helping them, atm atm, whatever they're doing, they should just keep doing that. Innovation is what keeps them competitive, and without that cool factor they'd lose a huge part of their fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rig1015 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Gario not trying to stomp on your boner err anything... Mac's are alright, but their flair for 'innovation' isn't really helping them, atm. Seriously - no one was thinking of when reading this thread? The Wheel?!? You can still type.... but it just takes a lot longer... and with that cricket battery you got what, 20min's before it expires. Probably couldn't even finish two sentences of your message like that. It just seems silly... like trying to mix without speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I love it when people think the Onion is real. Especially when it's a company... and they quote it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_onion#The_Onion_taken_seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 . Innovation is what keeps them competitive, and without that cool factor they'd lose a huge part of their fanbase. Ah, point taken... but I'd personally like them better if they didn't feel the need to cater to the masses by making themselves out to be innovative. Just personal feelings about 'em - I'm sure what they're doing is working fine for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I love it when people think the Onion is real. Especially when it's a company... and they quote it...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_onion#The_Onion_taken_seriously Interestingly enough, I showed the onion report to two people at school today that I have a friendly ongoing Mac-vs-PC thing with, and they both thought it was real So Riggs you're not alone. In defense of everyone who thought that was real, if you're not familiar with the onion (my two friends weren't) then the MacBook Wheel report is one of the more difficult jokes to catch imo. The reporters don't curse or make incredibly wrong or ridiculous claims, and if you don't read the ticker at the bottom, everything sounds like it could be legit. But that's a problem! Even people who own and support Apple actually believe that the company would try to sell them an obviously impractical piece of hardware in the name of innovation. And successful or not, that's how you know that the company is too focused on design/innovation, as has been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 This isn't nearly as funny as the macbook wheel, but it's still worthy of a chuckle, and honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if there really are some people who are so ridiculously brainwashed by Apple's "innovations" that something like this doesn't seem quite so much of a stretch.

sefirosu Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 "The 90s aren't important." Not once do we get an idea of what that huge metal/glass ball does (except take up space. and look cool) "The wealthier you are, the less expensive it will seem."

Arcana Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I don't know why you guys hate the keyboard so much. I think it's great because the keys aren't heavy. They travel enough to make you feel like you're pressing something but they're not heavy enough to make your hands tired. The keys don't "get caught" on the downstroke (something that occurs with keyboards as they age if they're not like IBM Model Ms) and the keys are spaced well, too. I can type maybe 10% faster on the new Apple keyboard than I can on most "traditional" keyboards. My hands also don't get as tired, either. The mouse isn't very good though, I always get a wired one with a new computer (since you can't opt to not get it) since it's okay as a backup mouse. The mouse ball is really, really awesome. I like it. But, I can't stand how the entire top clicks for BOTH sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
