Maybe its cuz Keifer voice-overed that Mac/Intel commercial.

I love Apple. I love Jobs. I love that Apple had the balls to move to Intel. I love being the underdog. I love the innovation. I love that my 5 year old Powerbook runs better than some of my friends new PC laptops (spyware, virii etc.) I love that OS X is beautiful and elegant.

I hate the RAM prices. I hate that the keynote wasn't streamed from Apple. I hate that some people that do love Apple think that everything they make should be perfect and groundbreaking. No one, even Apple, is perfect. iPod Hifi happens. It's what you get when you follow a company that takes risks. I hate that here is no Macworld NY anymore. I hate the name 'MacBook.' Pro only makes it worse. I hate the new Apple ad that mentions Walt Mossberg. That just seems a little sad to me. It's like me showing how great I am from a review by my mom.

"I don't get why anyone would CHOOSE to use Windows over OSX. "

You're an idiot. Nobody is going to install Windows on a mac and use it as their primary OS. They'll be using OSX and then when wanting to play a game, tax stuff, architecural applications, they'll switch over. I don't see how you don't get this.

And to everybody else this type of person pisses off, it is not a mac zealot. I'm a mac zealot, this is an idiot. BTW running Mac OSX on a PC is very possible, but much more dentrimental to Apple as a company. So if you really care about Apple and Mac products maybe you should respect Apple more.

" I suppose this means Mac users too are going to have to deal with being obsolete within weeks of every computer purchase..."

160 mhz for 300 bucks more... DEAR GOD IT'S SO OBSOLETE. Friggin idiot.

"Convince yourself that Front Row is stupid, pointless, and unnecessary eye-candy and never, ever use it."

"Gee... that has been my take on every mac since the LISA..."

The LISA wasn't a Mac it was a different platform made by Apple...

Mac users can be described as elitist assholes, but we are not selfish when it comes to our company. That is why we (some of us, anyway) don't want OSX running on a PC. Apple won't stay alive by using OSX alone, it needs hardware sales. I'd love to have XP to switch into to play games and the like. And therefore, XP running on a Mac is very desirable toward me and other mac users.

I live in Westchester. I haven't been to the Apple Store there in over a year, but I heard they were making a bigger one in the mall. Is it done yet?

I think the problem most people are having is that we are looking at the keynote from the mac perspective. If we look at it from a secular perspective, the whole intel thing is actually quite amazing. Just look at the most recent penny arcade entries. These were hardened PC-boys and now they are thinking of getting macs. That is incredible. http://www.penny-arcade.com

The keynote is even on IGN. When has anything apple (non iPod-related) ever been on IGN. This was huge OUTSIDE of the mac community. I suppose it's because they either didn't hear about Apple going intel a year ago or didn't believe it. Whatever the reason, it makes me very happy.

You guys are being kind of childish. Apple just made a huge transition to a completely new architecture of processors and they did it six months early. That is pretty amazing. Granted iLife was boring and Steve was sick, both intel macs are very compelling. Yet because they look (almost) exactly the same, people don't think anything big occurred. It's pretty superficial and the ones complaining sound like children.

Furthermore, you should only be reading rumor sites to get an idea about what's coming out, not to rest your hopes on it. You're dissapointed because a media center didn't come out? Apple never said it would, you want Jobs to magically make one because a rumorsite told you it would be so?

Despite his illness, Job's keynote was rather good in the areas of the iMac, MacBook Pro, and the new Commercial(s).

"You've got the weight on me, I'll give you that," said Gates, who won the bought after knocking down Ballmer. An instant replay showed blood spurting from Frazier's mouth.
This is a very disturbing scence for me. Talking about bad taste and the world's richest man, Time's man of the year. I am not going to buy 360 for my kids.""

I have no idea what any of that means. "Bought" "scence" ? I think hes trying to say that he has a problem with video game violence and this demonstration has made him decide not to buy a video game system for his kids. I'm sorry that boxing exists...but there are a million better reasons than that for not buying a 360.
