Featured Ran into a psychic with real power today

Yep, the electronic crayons (Macs) are great for music, graphics work, and audio production. Now, for the rest of the world that is not in the entertainment industry, the PC is the way to go. And the PC does "just work" for these other applications as well. It isn't 2001 anymore.

 

I play a lot of video games. A lot. I bought my PC in 2010 for $400. The only upgrade I've made so far is buying a middle of the road graphics card for gaming purposes.

Firstly, the thing still runs fine. I still game on it, and it still plays the games coming out today (or tomorrow, as I'm anticipating the release of the new total war game).

Secondly, if you want to game, you go PC. Or, you cross your fingers and hope someone somewhere makes a Mac port of the game. Games are not developed with Macs in mind.

Personally, I can't stand Apple products. But that's just a preference.

Yeah, I kinda figured that's what you would say.

 

No, this is the ultimate use of a car stereo system and 10 times easier than plugging and unplugging an iPod every time you want to listen to your music library.

Sure, but first I have to place any/all of my music on Apple's cloud servers before their system will work. Why is that?

Macs are for musicians, graphic artists, and video editing. That's where they excel and where they've always excelled. Anything else, and that includes almost everything else in the "real" world, and the PC is the better choice.

 

So you're saying I can rip a CD (not burn a CD) directly to my hard drive on my Mac. Then copy and paste that music from the hard drive to an SD card without needing to go through iTunes? That would be news to me.

 

I'm sorry, but what do you think iTunes does?

 

<Sigh> Yes, I know. But once you try to move that music onto an Apple device or onto a USB stick, it MUST go through iTunes.

 

What is the default directory on your hard drive for your locally stored music?

 

I'd be surprised it there is one.

 

I was going to let this go, but I need to point out: Your wireless networks examples are invalid. We don't set up free wireless internet. We set up protected internet. We have requirements at the Federal level to protect personally identifiable information, and we manipulate the settings on our network so that we minimize the risk to our employees/students addresses, social security numbers, etc. (note that I said "minimize"; anyone who claims 100% protection is asking for crackers to test that claim, and the crackers will prove them wrong every time.)

And if you're actually using the free wireless at airports and other locations, well, you should probably check your bank and credit card accounts daily, and make sure you have an antivirus installed and running.
