The G2 Apple ithread. Words With Friends All Up Ins

Bucketman

So guys, theres this company, call Apple. They make cool products. A lot of us here have them. ipods, iphones, ipads, and Macbooks. Lets talk about them. Best cases, best Apps, best programs. Its an ithead for ithings.

Seriously

I guess Apple has some sort of trademark on the lower-case i prefix

Ferrus

I so want to post something anti-Apple but I guess it's not worth attracting the ironic ire of all those hipsters.

Bucketman

Really I just want to talk about how much I love my ipod 4 and talk to people about the best apps and stuff for it.

Also I guess my sisters ipad 2 is ok. For a tablet.

Darric

I really want an iPad, but between my iPhone and Macbook Air it would just seem like overkill.

The tragic thing is I want the iPad much more than I want the Macbook, but I can't really justify replacing it entirely.

Bucketman

Tablets seem silly to me. Though I kind of want to do what my friend did, he had a Kindle and jailbroke it to install Android on it, so its a tablet AND has the Eink on it, which I love.

I just downloaded this app yesterday called Couch to 5k
because I've been running in the morning, but not really doing it properly and not gaining much fitness and losing motivation
Gonna start it on monday and I'm actually looking forward to it!

I now have a iPhone 4, a mac mini, a 17" MBP a 25" iMac and a 1TB time capsule.

I love them all.

But then I haven't had to buy any of those things. I'm not sure if they would stack up to their price, honestly.

Butler

I am probably going to buy an iPhone 5 if they launch it in June and it isn't insanely expensive. I may even queue up on launch day and then feel slightly soiled for doing so.

I love it. It's almost 3 years old and I have literally never had a problem with it.

According to Macworld magazine, you might be waiting a while longer

There’s almost no chance of an iPhone 5 debut this June. Apple has not booked component orders for the mythical next-gen device and also lacks a finalised production road map for the beast, which will, dear readers, be made available in white — maybe…

A deluge of reports in recent weeks mean we’ve been working on the assumption Apple won’t introduce the new smartphone until September, but even this could be optimistic a new report explains — it may even be 2012 before we see iPhone 5.

Weaver

We really don't need this kind of thread.

I run EVE on my MBP and my iMac, watch Doctor Who on my tv via my Mac Mini controlled from Rowmote on my iPhone.

I backed up my design work on my Time Capsule and get to do work from home on my computers. It's just outstanding. I love living in my macworld.

Weaver

I love Cafe Vita coffee. They roast right up the street from me.



I can't fucking stand to go in there to actually buy a drink or beans because the joint is nothing but twenty people staring at macbook screens.

You all have homes. Your blogs suck. You have wifi at home. You are not gonna get "discovered" and hurghlburgle gonna go burn down an Apple store.

that is a lot of apple directed vitriol, Weaver.

fucking goddammit

They're still having a press conference in June, probably officially launching Lion. If there's no new phone announced I think I'll just upgrade my iPod instead.

Calamity Jane

i think i touched an iphone once

hated apple long before they were successful. their dumb mac logo, that was a reason. or those monitor computers that are dumb

apple engenders the shittiest business practices

quarterly incremental updates to a device people pay full price for, who fervantly defend their gay technological babylon

i want to see microsoft succeed one day in this market, so they should make a zune phone in the shape of a sphere and each quarter of the year it's a new dumb shape and they add retarded shit like a film projector or low frequency noises that subdue the feelings of sadness and desperation that likely happen when you are three feet away from your annoying four hundred dollar piece of shit hand computer

To be fair, I can be angry at all kinds of things.

aka

if I don't have five hundred icons on my phone people won't think I'm connected and hip and modern

Calamity Jane

how much does the current iphone cost

Oden

I dunno cause mine came free with my phone contract anyway

babyeatingjesus

I paid $150 for mine on an upgrade with Rogers.

That seemed pretty reasonable.

I understand the coffee-shop mac-user hate. I don't understand directing that at the products they have decided to focus on. Apple makes some quality consumer-level electronics. All the marketing I've seen has been about their quality product and the ease-of-use attached to it. Any culture that has sprung from that, while perhaps not dissuaded actively, has neither been actively pursued by the company in any way that I've encountered.

Dangerous

I just hate how fucking smug their marketing has always been.

I enjoy my ipod nano and the touch looks pretty cool, but damn if these ads don't make me never ever want to buy an iphone.

Air

recently i bought a second hand 1st gen apple tv off ebay and it was faulty and a pain so i did a paypal dispute and finally the money should be coming in the next few days but i still have the apple tv because apparently the dude moved or something so the address paypal told me to send to wasnt the one he wanted it sent to but fuck that guy and the package was refused and returned to sender

now i have a crappy apple tv in a box and memories of hassle
wondering if i should contact the guy to see if he wants me to send it to him at his expense or just wait a little while to see if he asks for it and if not, put it on ebay but with an accurate description of its shittiness and some idiot will probably still pay half of what i originally did because people are idiots

Blake T

I might buy an air after this years refresh.

And I already own an iPhone.

Dont think I'd like a an iPad. Not unless they fundamentally change iOS anyway. Might buy the second gen honeycomb tablets though they look kinda cool.

babyeatingjesus

I wish the handwriting recognition worked better. I have a wacom tablet that I hooked up to my laptop and used to try out inkwell and man does that thing suck all the ass. The Windows 7 tablets are infinitely better at translating my scrawl into text.

Weaver

netbooks forever

way cheaper

can do tons more stuff with them

Dogbone33

I just got an iphone 3gs. Yes I know it isn't the newest, but for 50 bucks on an upgrade I'll take it.

Hooked on the fucking angry birds though. Damn pigs.

Abracadaniel

Pretty happy with my iPad 2 considering I'm only like $200 out of pocket for it.

It's the bees knees.


Google's Chromebooks are a neat concept.

CarbonRod

I don't want to be a hater, but my friend showed me this and I thought this was a good place to pass it along.

I just bought my new 27' iMac last week when they rolled out with the new models. I love it. Takes a while to get used to such a ridiculously high resolution, though.

I'm not really an Apple fanboy, but I love the all-in-one concept, and I prefer OSX over Windows.

Yeah, the Mac Pros have always been a gigantic fucking ripoff. To an extent, so are the MacBook Pros. iMacs, however, are pretty reasonably priced for what you get.

I have an iPhone4 but now I kinda want a bleeding-edge Samsung or HTC Android 2.2 phone... or an Android 3 tablet.

I just like the Android customization options and now they're on par with the speed and display quality of the iPhones, plus they can do more things!

Oh man, I'd love to have an unlimited data plan with tethering!

Get an unlimited data plan with an Android phone, and root it. You now have an unlimited data plan with free tethering.

I got my first smart phone back in March, it was an Android

I lost it after a week but honestly the more I think about it the more I realized I had given up using an excellent phone in exchange for a mediocre computer with a shitty-shit phone

I really hate the idea of having to charge a phone every night-hell, on the plane ride over to my friends' house it went out after a fresh charge and I would have been stranded if I hadn't found a nearby McDonalds

The new iPhone's supposed to be 50 bucks with a plan now, though, right? That's nice

Scudo

I believe that's the 3GS, not the 4

(iPhone postin itt)

mensch-o-matic

What is the difference between an iPhone 3 and an iPhone 4

Abracadaniel

3GS has a slower processor, less ram, no front facing camera, and the $50 only comes in 8GB.

Still a great phone. Just got one for a guy at work to replace his blackberry. After one day the dude loves it.

May be getting him an iPad as well to take with him to trade shows and business trips.

crwth

sh gimmie your iphone 4

i feel so behind the times with my 3gs!!

The Sneak!

I love my Samsung Epic 4G, but iOS looks much more polished than Android.
