Me in th Apple store:

[Søren]

HAHAHAHAHA, yes. Have you tried the new MacBook?

[Hickory]

True story: When I went on the trip, I brought my iPad but couldn't get WiFi. So, at the Apple store, I was checking out the new Macbooks, and I saw that it had WiFI connection... which means forums...

I just put up a poll while I'm trying to finish up some new material to add here. Feel free to express your opinion on the subject and try to shed some light on this very stupidly controversial topic.

[Søren]

I won't vote since I don't use Windows.

Yeah, I have noticed an awful majority of Mac users in here, but there has to be Windows users as well!... right?

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Right

(probably no Linux users here though )

On the topic of updates...

[Luftwaffles]

Yay! *high five*.

And I do have Ubuntu installed on another computer, but I don't think that that would make me a Linux user, would it?

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Sure, if you use it

I guess you're a *nix user.

[Luftwaffles]

I use it (it annoys the heck out of me, but I use it)

[Søren]

Right

On the topic of updates...

Funny how OS X updates have been low cost to free for a while. The've been cheaper then Windows, just $20 with each new version, and with Mavericks became free.

Another day, another power outage, another time I get to post from my PS3.

Every single time the power goes out I have to spend hours cajoling and hitting my iMac to get it to power back up. No other computer they've ever made before this one was so stupid. It just goes to show what happens when they try to get cute with something basic like power management.

You're not plugged into an outlet with like 29 things on it, are you? Because  I had been with 9 different things drawing from one surge protector and I never had that problem.

5.

[Søren]

Well, I dunno. That is strange. What year is it?
