but apple hasn’t introduced us with anything new in the past two decades. they have a great image, they’re sexy, and they have the name. I’ve been saying since the face of apple changed: “Apple isn’t a technology company, but a very very efficient marketing company” and it holds true. Macs aren’t any better at making music or editing videos than a similarly spec’d PC (in fact, the cheap video cards they use can hardly be called “modern”) the only reason they’re an industry standard… is because musicians are showoffs and like to spend a lot more money than they need to. what gets me is the “music/video editing” mythos of it all. the operating system is a bastardized Linux OS with heavy integration between OS and application, making it nearly impossible (not to mention frustrating) to develop software for a mac. the hardware in a mac is low-end Foxconn junk that only barely makes it through quality control. (let’s face it, Wozniak did far more for technology than Jobs did) I refuse to buy from apple because it’s highly overpriced, closed source, and the entire company was basically stolen.
