Lets hope these ones don't have that Yellow tinting and DOA issue. They do replace the DOA ones but it's a waste of time tbh.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/
They do look nice, however my only quarrel is that apple have to make everything hard when you try to do something "outside the box". At work somebody brought a presentation in on his macbook, we must of been there a good 20-30 minutes trying to connect and upload it to our server. In the end I had to bring in a dell and transfer it via a USB stick. He quoted "I wish I never bought it".]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/my comment was deleted again. i didnt post anything against the rules, so stop deleting it. obviously a mac owner is pissed about the truth. truth hurts.

macs are stupid, no games. no right click. osx is ugly. dock takes up 20% of the screen at all times making maximizing a windows never fully maximized. ]]>Jul 23rd 2010 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/Jul 23rd 2010 5:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/
Mac have games, they have had right (alternative) click for the last 20 years, the dock can be hidden, programs can be maximised!]]>Jul 23rd 2010 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/Funny, since my experience is the complete opposite. From my Macs I can connect to Windows, Linux and OS X and back without a hitch using either SMB, AFS, NFS, SSH, no problems whatsoever. On the other hand, I always get into loads of problems trying to connect Windows PC's to other Windows PC's. It gets even worse if they are different generations of Windows, e.g. XP to Vista/W7, and it becomes hellish if you dare to bring a Windows laptop that's not configured for the corporate network and need to authenticate over LDAP. Of course it's a whole different story if you only use just Windows machines prepared by your IT department, then bring in a random OS X machine that doesn't fit this one-size-fits-all network configuration. But that's not a limitation or problem specific to OS X, you'd get similar problems bringing in a random Windows machine to a Mac-only network, a Windows machine with a completely different network etc.

you really, really have no idea what you are talking about.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/My experience with W7 is in fact pretty limited, and I'm not arguing it is hard to connect W7 to W7 or something like that. Similarly I think it's ridiculously easy to connect OS X to whatever you like. It's all there, you have SSH, NFS, AFS, SMB, LDAP, 4 different flavors of VPN, RDP, VNC, it's all there. The original poster I was reacting to stated that 'OS X is restricted if you do anything outside the box'. That either implies that on OS X the box is just so large you never have to go outside of it, or that the box is so small on Windows that it is great as long as you don't want to connect to something else. Ie: the complete opposite to what the he was saying.

I find it hard to believe anyone would be surprised that it's easier to connect Windows to Windows or OS X to OS X, but in terms of supported protocols and connection options, OS X objectively much more flexible than Windows, no point arguing that, just lookup the list of supported protocols and find the ones that are shared between other systems.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/Jul 23rd 2010 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/

I think your comment gets deleted if it is marked negative so many times. ]]>Jul 23rd 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/1. So, what if my 'choice' is exactly the kind of machine that Apple builds, and that I can't find somewhere else cheaper? For example a dead-silent all-in-one with a 27" screen and reasonably fast hardware? Or a PC the size of a stack of CD's? In what way is Apple 'restricting' my choice by providing me with the choice to buy a machine that none of their competitor builds? That's even without considering the fact that I choose to prefer OS X over Windows. Note: Macs run Windows too.
2. Do you really, _really_ believe that people would keep buying Apple hardware if it actually sucked? Apple also makes products that fail and disappear completely every now and then, or sell only very small numbers. Think AppleTV, eMac, Newton, etc. If you really think they have a free ride and don't have to compete on quality, innovation or added value, you are fooling yourself. I know it's popular to think like that if *your* choice is something else than Apple hardware, but that doesn't make it true for people who *do* prefer their products over generic hardware that might be cheaper and have all kinds of nice properties that Apple does not have, but fails on the properties I care about.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/

I setup AFS specifically for my Macs because they have a nasty habit of losing samba connections and the only way to reset things seems to restart the box entirely.

Linux can connect to Macs very smoothly with SSH using FUSE but the reverse is not true at all.

Also, connecting to a Mac through VNC gives you a new found appreciation for X as a Mac VNC connection is too slow to be usable and the Apple style server control panel doesn't give you nearly enough options to help speed things up.

> Or a PC the size of a stack of CD's?

PCs did this first actually. The Apple iteration of this idea came along much later. The nice thing about PCs is that there is someone to cater to any niche even if that someone isn't as prominent as Dell.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/
Anyways, I hope they get rid of the 21.5 in model and go 27 in all the way.... or 24 or something bigger than 21.5... that's too small. ]]>Jul 23rd 2010 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/
I plan on buying a 21.5 sometime this year because it's going to be the size I need for my desk. And I like the price point better. If they would offer a bigger screen at the same price as the 21.5 I might agree with you, but until then I will have to disagree and say I hope that they don't end that line.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/Jul 23rd 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/23/imac-refresh-is-imminent-according-to-reseller-sources/

Someone who dosnt know how something works has no right trying to say its better then the competition.. Especially when in most cases they havnt even tried the latest from the competition.
