As an Apple retail employee, I can assure you that MSFT poached waaaay more than a handful of or talent. Apparently, offering people piles of cash to switch teams is still a go in the business world. Who would have thunk it? Maybe that's why I'm headed back to the freelance world this week. :)
I just need to blow off some steam on how much iMovie sucks. Keynote creates a mov file and imovie wont import it all or or even recognize its a movie. Plus it lags. I could do this faster and easier in parallels with windows movie maker.. ugh. #gizmodoremainders
@clR3vv: While I have absolutely no idea why you posted that here, I totally agree with you, so much so that I downloaded SimpleMovieX not an hour ago. (QuickTime Pro users got screwed by QuickTime X, and I ain't touching iMovie for merging clips and stuff.) So yeah, go ahead, vent away. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: Youz guyz sound like you need yourselves some final cut action. That'll do anything you need to damn near any format of video you throw at it, it even works with video sources in different codecs in the same timeline, and you can do SO MUCH with it... I wish it took better advantage of Snow Leopard... and I wish it weren't so damn worth it... but even final cut express will do a lot, and is certainly worth the price if you use it at all. #gizmodoremainders
@Redrum4breakfast: Oh I've got Final Cut Express, but my video editing needs are super simple, basically what QuickTime Pro used to do (merge, trim, occasionally rotate) that QuickTime X now does not. Hence the SimpleMovieX. #gizmodoremainders
@Wilson Rothman: why didn't you keep quicktime 7 pro when you installed 10.6? I did for stuff like converting mkv files to mp4... it still works great! You should try re-installing it... Quicktime X is a joke as far as export options, making it's trimming abilities useless. Although, I do use it to convert downloaded TV shows to iPhone format, which it does super quick! #gizmodoremainders
Agreed. Real men admit their wrong and can actually say "Sorry". Pussies are too afraid of looking like lesser men, and don't apologize. #gizmodoremainders
I love how he's complaining about not being able to go from XP to Win 7. Why would you want to do an upgrade for an OS? Especially from one from 2001. Windows 7 is an entirely different animal from XP. That being said, I loved XP Pro. It was great, stable, and did everything I needed it to.
"Windows 7 or whatever it's called." -- Strike one, you arrogant prick.
"Lemme ask you a technical question, are you gonna be able and go.....install Windows 7 over XP" -- Strike two. That's not a "technical question". That's a basic question. Quit posing.
And that heavy sigh when she says "not as easy".....strike three. You were looking for a fight. You were waiting to up talk Apple and bash Microsoft.
Comparing Windows XP to his shiny new Mac is like comparing the Playstation 2 to the Super Nintendo. They're from two entirely different generations, jerkwad. XP came out in 2001. I'm betting the contest would've been a lot closer back then. I'm guessing you also would've liked the range of compatibility your Mac had back then a lot less, you two-bit newb. Heck they didn't even get NTFS support until 2004. You want an example of a technical question? Try going back to 2001 and asking someone if you can transfer a file from your iMac to your coworker's Windows machine using your 32MB USB stick.
You know, fanboy fights I'm fine with. Anybody wanna go and put Windows 7 and Snow Leopard head to head, I'm down. But arrogant, obnoxious, and more importantly completely uninformed fanboyism is NEVER ok. Someone please take this guy off the air.
That was hilarious. Favorited for sure. And the Guy obviously doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. Then again, the chick doesn't seem too knowledgeable either.
@dallasmay: The chick doesn't seem knowledgeable because that ass kept interrupting her. When asking "Why should I upgrade to 7?" he immediately jumped in with how great his Mac is. He did not give her a chance to respond.
She answered the "How difficult will it be to upgrade?" question accurately and minimally (which is necessary on TV shows like this). My bet is given the chance, we'd see how knowledgeable she was if she was talking to a complete douche.
@Tank:
One chair would go flying. The chair would move so fast that its legs would slice cleanly through those reporters without having its trajectory altered much. Any blunt portion of that chair smacking into any area into those fleshy sacks they call bodies would be splattered into a fine red mist.
Despite that, one chair would not be sufficient to satiate Monkey Boy's raw vengeful rage. If there is a God, may he help the studio that would air something like this with him on air, because rubble is all that would be left of it.
Ballmer would then eat two more of the chairs, before eating the Fat Angry TV Man. Then, to prove how good Windows 7 is, he'd vomit FATMan onto the keyboard of a Windows 7 machine and command it to reassemble him. Windows 7 would then do so out of fear. When the man became whole once more, thoroughly impressed with Windows 7's capabilities (at least, when Ballmer's in the room), he would take back every bad thing he said.
As Ballmer accepts his apology, he would breathe fire on the man, incinerating him on the spot. It's a sign of respect where he comes from.
@OCEntertainment:
You killed it. Then you killed it even more when you said Windows 7 would reassemble some guy who's presence in your ditty makes no sense.
The whole thing is dead beyond even the recall of the gods. #cnbc
What an ass. Goldman's mug was visible in a few of those frames and even though he didn't speak he obviously coached this douchebag. They probably had an off-camera bet going on how fast they could get this chick flustered.

I wonder if he'd of said the same talking to Ballmer...in the same room...with chairs.
