    I don't see the problem of emulating Mac OS graphics. 7 still runs great for a fraction of the cost, and now with a similar eye candy shell.
    mmmm... taste the savings. #windows7mac

    @Kaiser-Machead: Meh.... Vista's fine now. A year ago, I'd totally agree with this statement, but I run a Vista machine I picked up early this summer and no problems whatsoever. Just turn off UAC and keep it updated and it's a prettier version of XP. #windows7mac

    @NorwoodIsMyHero: Oh god, you're a moron.

    NEVER turn UAC off unless you're doing so for compatibility reasons. UAC is a good thing and turning it off makes your OS about as secure as XP (see: not at all)

    And it was stable a year ago. The only thing that lead to instability in Vista were graphics cards and other poor driver sources. the NT6 kernel is INCREDIBLY stable. #windows7mac

    Wow I Love the last 2-3 minutes of this video. Imagine you see Steve Jobs in SAMS CLUB trying to get you to sample some sausage..
    Jobs: I present you the iSausage
    Containing 93 per cent meat and seasoned with white pepper, nutmeg and ginger, it's a great advertisement for simplicity.It's a slightly Germanic-style sausage that would be great with braised cabbage or sauerkraut - and a nice cold German lager. There's also an unsmoked version. This can be found in the I-Aisle.
    Special Introductory Price $9.99 per pound

    Guy can sell anything... #imac

    This is a non-story if Segall won't tell us the name. He is an advertising guy and he knew he could get his name out with a "Job's made a mistake" story. He intentionally leaves us hanging, leaving us wanting more. Classic ad man move. I understand Giz has to cover this type of thing but I can't help but think this guy is playing this website for his own purposes. #imac

    @The Lab: From the linked article:
    ""I’ve got some great emails from him," Segall says. "I might publish them one day, but he’ll never talk to me ever again.""

    He's using this to push a book deal. He's good at this ad business. He just got an ad for free. #imac

    @mthomes: I know. It's like those really annoying movies where every one is running around after a box/package/briefcase because it conatians something they all want. After two hours of watching all this they never tell you what was in the box/package/briefcase. Ronin, Cast Away, Pulp Fiction to name a few. #imac

    In the (considerable) shadow of the 27" iMac his statement of, "what's the largest display we would want on one of these things...15" ", is very humorous. #imac
