They are full of some anal folk. It's funny but outside of Mac forums I find myself defending them, but on the Mac forums I find myself defending Windows. Mac laptop, home built Windows desktop is all I want.
Fanboys from either end are generally ignorant tosspieces.

There is definitely a balance to be struck. Though I myself can't stand OSX and any Apple product or marketing campaign other than the iPod, (OSX's interface thrives on loyalty alone--there's nothing revolutionary or more sophisticated about it. All hype.) I completely respect those who do...

As long as they don't act like turds.

Telling people to call it an ipod touch and not an itouch was quite fanboyish IMO >_<;

Oh I don't know about that. I use both systems daily but OSX is lightning fast at navigation (mostly down to Expose, Smartfolders, the dock, Coverflow and Spotlight) and the seperate window look is great when working with lots of apps at once. I just wish the bugger had native support for address bars in Finder. And they must be doing something right for Win7 to have a hybrid of OSX and the taskbar UI design from Windows. Which could be very good (not tried Win7 yet ).

Heh. The mac forum people say the same thing about Windows too, about how the UI is slow and non-intuitive. Just goes to show it's all down to what you previously know

And no not really. I don't like the iPod Touch, it's just an iPhones poorer cousin so I'm hardly a fan of it.

I've used OSX's interface now for quite a while now, and it's definitely more clunky. And it's not just file navigation, menus and button configurations are awful. The whole having-to-use-expose is nuts, and the inconsistency between programs leaving icons and not leaving icons in the dock is annoying. The entire icon system on the dock is preposterous. I also hate having to go up to the top menu to exit out rather than just hit the x on the window, since that leaves it running. Random limitations in the UI are also absurd, like having to use the terminal to hide and unhide folders.

There are a host of things I hate about it, and I could probably go on and on about why else I think Macs are stupid, but I'm not being forced to use them so it doesn't really matter. Even if I were it hardly warrants an argument. Just saying I do have reasons behind my loathing for it.

And you know it's not even so much OSX. Both systems get the job done and it's down to personal preference. What really bugs me is the attitude surrounding OSX. Not everyone acts like it, but a lot of people think Windows is primitive simply because that's what they've been told. There isn't really anything revolutionary about OSX. Both windows and OSX are on par in sophistication, it's just that since so many people use Windows it gets targeted for malware more. The whole uppity feeling Apple sends me is off-putting. You could say the same of a lot of Windows users, but that's a personal choice rather than a bandwagon thing.

Lol, my uncle touts the virtues of OSX to me every chance he gets, ("Switch to mac, you'll never go back") and I play along, but then I start talking about computers and mildly technical stuff and he gets so confused. It cracks me up.

EDIT: Upon reflection, this long post makes it look like I care more about this than I do. I'll put a cork in it.

There's a pretty good game called Tilt!, and iLocker is pretty awesome since you can password protect pictures and videos.

I also enjoyed MYST for Ipod Touch... I know there wasn't much point buying it because it was exactly the same as the one I had on my PC all those years ago... but it was still fun to play

I use *cough* Installous *cough*... You didn't hear anything from me.

Well I'll explain the app anyway. It's a jailbroken app and you can pretty much download any app from the appstore for free (even the one's that your supposed to pay for ) That's where I get all my apps

Did you know: There's an app on the appstore called "iRa" that's $900!

Okay guys, a friend and I made an app called iLocker that lets you send movie, audio, text, powerpoint, or excel files (text can even be edited) from your computer to your iPhone/iPod Touch, and lets you protect them with a 3-digit passcode. Give it a try, it's just 99 cents!

Please, please, I beg of you to buy my apps - my dev hardware really needs funding right now, so if you buy any of them and like them then do please consider showing them to your friends.

Apps: Tilt! ColorPicker, ForeCast, iLocker!

There are two kinds of us mac people. The Mac Dicks, coined by Adiblasi, are the people you mention. The other group consists of computer users who happen to run some Apple hardware, and does not need to be exclusively this.

I'll support you Bibin. Actually iLocker sounds very useful indeed. I'll check out the other ones, too. Just out of interest, how much of that 99 cents does the developer get?
