What can I say? It's another attempt for Apple to take over the world. Thankfully, like the Brain, the plot will be foiled by it's pinkyness.

Now I know what you Macolytes will say:
"WHAAAHHAAT!??!WHAHWAHA WHAHAAT!??!? WHY WOULD YOU SAY SUCH A HORRIBLE THING!?!?! HERESY! THE APPLE IS NEXT TO GOD!!!"

Simple: I hate Apple for various reasons:
  1. No right click. What is up with that?
  2. Force me to use iTunes for everything? NEVER! That program and it's sever system is horrible interface-wise. Rhapsody is much better. Windows Media Player 11 is much better. That's right: a Microsoft program tops Apple's. Plus not letting you get music from elsewhere is evil and nonsensical under our Constitution (yeah I had to pull the "we as Americans" card).
  3. Macolyte zealousness. You guys are too damn whiny about Windows. Your computer crashed? That only happens when you don't know how to use a Windows OS properly. I only have that happen when someone I'm facing in an RTS lags. Got a virus? Well seeing as Windows is used by more people and corporations, that's likely. Get Norton or something.

Now for why I think the iPhone will fail:
  1. Price: $599 for an 8 GB? I'd rather use my cash to get a PS3 (that's how ridiculous it is).
  2. Touch screen: It' smudges like crazy unless you clean it constantly or have a stylus, which doesn't work well with it.
  3. Service: You HAVE to use Cingular. No choice: it's not compatible with the system unless someone finds a hack for it.
  4. Durability: It's thiner than a BlackJack, and it has a huge, unprotected screen. CRACK!
  5. Web Surfing: Cingular provides the iPhone with it's slowest wireless speed. Unless you got a good Wi-Fi connection, good luck.
  6. Programs: Yes it runs like a mini-computer, but you can't install anything. NADA. ZIPO.
  7. Common Sense: 8GB fragile iPhone vs 30GB-60GB  more durable iPod. If you want a good MP3 player (oh sorry, you guys like iTunes) phone get the Chocolate. It works.

Re: So the iPhone is out.
Yeah. Music to a minimal is nice for ring-tones, but this is just too much.

There is, in fact, a right click for Macs.

I need proof. Tangible digital proof.

You really need to cover your bases better

Been out for a while

There's always been a right click function available for Macs.  It's called control-click.  Standard apple mouses are made with one button.  But that does not mean "No right click."  There is the mighty mouse.  And regular old standard USB 2.0 non-Apple brand mouses work with Apple computers.

Wow. That's a new development.

Re: So the iPhone is out.
And who says anyone forces them to use iTunes when using a Mac?  There's Audion 3, Softwarium, a Mac version of Windows Media Player, and one lovely player called VLC player which plays just about anything known to man.  All of these are wonderful apps that do a lot of similiar things to iTunes.  You are not forced to just iTunes on a Mac.

And the other thing, is that if you were to buy an Intel-core Mac, then you can run Windows XP, and you can then run whatever the hell program you want at that point.

Re: So the iPhone is out.
For the iPod, you do need to use iTunes.

Re: So the iPhone is out.
But how, in your own words, is that everything?
FiveAcez on
Re: So the iPhone is out.
I mean video, music, and games (for the iPod).

Re: So the iPhone is out.
What you're referring to is the copy protection code built into all iTunes Music Store media.  Which does include everything you listed above.  This is different in that it is the iTunes Music Store.  Yes, if you buy from the store, then you can only use it on an iPod.  If you import music to iTunes, but own a different mp3 player (non-iPod), you cannot put music onto your mp3 player from iTunes.  But so what if Apple decided to have a monopoly on iTunes media?  I can tell you right now that if that's your problem with Apple computers, then that has very little to do with the computer itself, and has much more to do with your own personal preference and Apple corporation's (admittedly) "selfish" actions.  But the fact is that regardless of the limitations of iTunes, on an Apple computer you can still put mp3s on a non-iPod mp3 player, you can still play music through a non-iTunes program, you can run windows programs if you have an Intel-based Mac, and you never have to purchase any antivirus software.

All I'm saying, is hate on the iTunes Music Store and the iPod all you want.  But don't hate on the computer.  It's a lot better than you think.
