My only real complaint is that ever since Lion, Apple did something weird with the way Safari handles memory, and sometimes it fucking drags ass, or has to force reload all currently open websites. It's rare, but when it happens its fucking annoying.How is the "snappiness" of OS/X? It's been a while (i.e. few years) since I last fiddled with a Mac, but at the time it felt rather sluggish. Despite Window's flakiness (which 7 largely fixed), I've always been impressed at how fast Windows is. You especially appreciate it when trying to run Ubuntu or some other Linux GUI environment -- I've yet to use one that didn't feel clunky as hell.
Sounds like about the same sample size that you're basing your assertions about Macs on.Well I stand corrected then. I'm sure three-system environments will be the new benchmark for stability testing any day now.
Agreed. Chrome + extensions is hard to beat. The built in tab-expose is awesome, too.Well if you're using Safari you're making bad choices anyway.
The Ubuntu family of distros are basically the lowest common denominator of Linux distros (analogous to the way McDonald's is the lowest common denominator of restaurants) . They're bloated on purpose so that they can be "good enough" for the widest variety of hardware and users possible, and I agree that they feel clunky as hell. They're a good place to get your feet wet though, so to speak, before moving on to a distro that isn't intentionally retarded.You especially appreciate it when trying to run Ubuntu or some other Linux GUI environment -- I've yet to use one that didn't feel clunky as hell.
Better than what? By what standard? How do you get full control over your hardware choices and still have driver support? Just curious.Apple's OS software is better but they are a closed system, and therefore I will never buy one. I want full control over my hardware choices.
How so? What are you factoring in? Service? Hardware? Software?Veblen goods? Application support? Gaming? Productivity? What?I dont think mac are worth the money they cost.
Nothing buys instant hipster cred faster than an Apple logo.How so? What are you factoring in? Service? Hardware? Software?Veblen goods? Application support? Gaming? Productivity? What?
A trip to Salvation Army, a place that sells used Vinyl, a bag of Goji from Whole Foods and throwing out your razor would save you $4-5K and have the safe effect.Nothing buys instant hipster cred faster than an Apple logo.
Why bother? Shitting all over Apple for no good reason is the new "in" thing to do, didn't you know?If you want to be a hipster, then choose Apple.
And please tell me how Apple is more restrictive than Windows in this regard.In a world moving toward open source why would anyone want to go with the most restrictive option that is apple? why not partition your HD and run ever OS there is, problem solved.
