IQ tests are designed so that the average person scores 100. And by average that means "most people". A genius IQ would be something near 160, keeping in mine that 10 points is usually the standard deviation, which also happens to be where new 'levels' are indicated.

iPods (and Macs actually) sell for one main reason: Marketing. I personally find mac's far superior to PC, and find my iPod better than my Creative made Dell DJ, but I'm still smart enough to know that most people buy Apple products because of the marketing and because of their aesthetics.

As for the Archos, they are garbage (no offense). I only say that because I work at best buy and we get them returned constantly, and we barely sell any. If you want to argue MP3 players, at least go with Creative. They have very nice and log lasting MP3 players, especially if you have a PC. I would recommend it to any PC using person. But, if you have a mac, iPod is the way to go. iPod + PC is usually a hassle (I had mine formatted for PC for a while before giving up and switching to mac only). not that the iPod itself is hard to use with a PC, but I find iTunes just doesn't run as nicely (long start up time compared to WMP on a PC, slower searching).

If PCs want to be more popular, maybe they should make some witty commercials instead have boxes that look like cows.]]>Jun 12th 2007 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/apples-mac-os-x-leopard-fully-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/apples-mac-os-x-leopard-fully-unveiled/cow boxes? still?

but really planning on going MAC.
Currently i own a Desktop PC that has 2.80ghz Pentium 4, 1GB Ram, Nvidia Graphic Card Geforce FX 5200 and a hard drive of 360GB.

I wanted to ask if it is recommended to upgrade to a macbook 2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM and 120GB Hard drive.

Please help me decide!

i work with a mac. i am 188."

It really frustrates me when people act like they're Apple cult members because "it's just easier to use." I started using a PC when I was 8 years old. It was running DOS. Absolutely no GUI. Windows is an ultra-simplified version of DOS. If you can't figure out an ultra-simplified version of what an 8-year-old learned how to do by himself, I have a hard time believing you have a 188 IQ.

Apple computers are the grown-up (and I use that term loosely) equivalent of a childhood clubhouse with a "No ____ allowed" sign. Being part of a 5% market share gives them a false sense of exclusivity, like somehow they're above us "regular" PC users. We should be ashamed of ourselves with our much more extensive software library and easily upgradeable hardware, I guess.

Also, my IQ is 1,000. Seriously, I'm not lying. ]]>Jun 11th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/apples-mac-os-x-leopard-fully-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/apples-mac-os-x-leopard-fully-unveiled/Everytime i do something with the mac,

The reason that I use a mac is not because I can't fix problems with my computer. I assure you that I am more than capable of solving just about any Windows problem you can come up with. I use a mac because fiddling around with driver config files and deleting cryptic registry keys from the command line is my hobby, not my life. If i'm writing that report at 2am, I want my hobby to stay where it should be: far, far, away; not so much for my convenience, but for the safety of anyone that may be standing under my window when I get the blue screen. I use a mac when I want things to work, and they do. Part of the reason that macs work so well is that they are hard to upgrade and have very little software available. This way, there are very few bugs, and those that remain are not so serious. Call it stupid, but that's no problem, it's an undocumented feature. So stop bashing mac users for their choice of computer brand. If you would simply pull your head out of your ass for a second, you would see why we keep windows where it belongs. Maybe you'll even join us in our pursuit of a bug-free computer.

...and we'll be more than happy to welcome you.

Every other crash I've ever had has been due to software, such as Maya, which loves to crash at the most well-timed moments.

And that's another thing - it irks me how Mac users act like that's the premiere platform for any creative programs. Guess what? I used a PC all through college, and I used it to work in Photoshop and Illustrator, do 3D modeling and animation, edit videos and sound, and do special effects. There was not one single Apple in any of our labs, and for the same amount a Mac would've cost each workstation had easily double the horsepower.

So, thanks for your Mac invite, but I think I'll stick to my PC that is perfectly stable (no matter what the newest Apple propagana ad says), costs a fraction of your Mac's price and has endlessly more software and hardware available for it.
