No big deal really. So, is it really necessary to say that there are 12 new models when they look and perform relatively the same. I do not think so.
I think the lower end Compaq has a better design and the new HP versions look like the older model compaq. I am confused.]]>Jun 10th 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/

Yes, lets see. Fortune 500 companies...that would be 500 of them.
People... over 7 billion in the world.
Oh, I see. The only thing in life that matters is what businesses think. So businesses are in business to sell their trinkets or services to that 7 billion or so people, but it does not matter that the "people" seem to want and like Apple products.

You think it's absurd to have a ton of posts about one segment of the market and pretending that it overshadows all others?

You're right.

Steve was just implying (well over your head, obviously) that it's absurd for Apple too.

Underlying point, for the slow among us: We don't need Apple-like posting for everything, we need everything-like posting for Apple.

I got the point...
It is over "some" peoples head.

You know why there are a lot of posts about Apple? Apple does not make many products so it is big news when something from them is released.

How many computer models does HP make, can you name them all?
Apple makes an iphone. One...uno....just one. Ok, 2 if you count the 2 memory sizes. How many windows mobile devices are there or models of the blackberry, or nokia phone models are there? I have no idea either.

I did not say they were not good devices.....just that there are a lot of them.

And maybe just maybe there are a lot of posts about one segment of the market because there "are" a lot of people interested in it.

I'm sure engadget looks at the number of clicks stories get and since they are in business to make money, they find it profitable to print those stories.
Even people that lets say, that hate apple, read those stories judging from negative comments after those stories by people saying they are sick of those stories.

The first iPhone had several model numbers (stemming from revisions). Some had common issues while others didn't. The most common models were...
MA712
MA501
A1203

The iPod video (5g and 5.5g) had various model numbers...
MA002LL/A
MA146LL/A
MA003LL/A
MA147LL/A
MA452LL/A
MA444LL/A
MA446LL/A
MA448LL/A
MA450LL/A
MA664LL/A


Just because they hit you with a simple marketing name, doesn't mean the scary model numbers, batch numbers, manufacturing faults in dodgy shipments, serial numbers and stuff aren't there.]]>Jun 10th 2008 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/Jun 10th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/10/hp-goes-wild-16-new-business-consumer-laptop-models/
I'd love to stick a second batt in a lappy when the optical isn't being used (and ideally find this feature in entry-level models).

Let's set the record straight. WE don't hate Apple. WE don't even hate Apple fanboys. What we hate are Apple Fanboys hi-hacking every post to bring the subject around to Apple and how much THEY think that Windows sucks.

For the rest of us, this is really quite annoying. In fact some HATE it.

WE won't tell you to "go away", that would be school-ground childish... OR to shut-up, that would be overbearing.... just pipe down...Keep your preference for Apple products down. Let's talk about OBJECTIVELY the gadgets not the your personal SUBJECTIVE preferences.

Today was quitee a ground breaking day; we even have Clak
1. Making statements almost tantamount to stating that aesthetically Apple and Non-apple products MAYBE on a par.
2. Almost breaking down his preference for Apple OSX to actual definable OBJECTIVE aspects.

We might even 'one day' have a debate about the actual working elements of Vista and OSX Kitten (or whatever is the current release in 2016) and why we think that each has their merits.

In a BEST Scottish accent....
IN MY SINCERE OPINION, OS BASHING ON THIS WEBSITE WILL NEVER END, NOT AS LONG AS THEY ARE SHITTING IN OUR SHOES AND WE ARE PISSING IN THEIR BOVRIL.
