So Apples are only good for music playback? lol

For tablets the prime is a clear winner. The only reason I have music playback is for the gym. And there I want something small, only need ~100 or so songs. Any cheap mp3 player will do that. lol @ apple computers, unless you are an artard you should know. And phones, 4S... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. C'mon man really? And for music playback home theater wise, my computer's sound card will wreck just about anything within 10 times what I spent on mine for something similar in apple form.

I owned Apple when they had the best stuff. The prices were a bit high, but I wanted good ****, and they were far ahead of the competition in phones and portable media. Now not so much.

Apple products are great









For people who are bad at using real computers.


The way I look at it, there are 3 os types for the 3 levels of tech experience.

Beginner - IOS
Intermediate - Windows
Advanced - Linux

First off, keep this Mac vs. PC vs. Anything bullshit off my forum.

My take on the subject:

Beginner - GUI interface (Windows, iOS/MacOS, Ubuntu, OS/2, etc)
Intermediate- Command line interface (DOS, CP/M, C=, VMS, ITS, UNIX, etc)
Advanced- OS? What would you need an OS for?

I have not used iTunes in years, but I still love my ipod classic.
I've been using RockBox for a few years. Much better than iTunes. Never heard of Foobar but looks interesting.

Foobar2000 is a very customizable music player. It can be a bit advance and can have a steep learning curve. I really only use it for ipod support. For just playing music I am still rocking Winamp 2.95.

I'm sure it is.

It's just that the words "foo" and "bar" specifically are two of the oldest humorous metasyntactic variables in all of hackerdom, such that naming an actual program Foobar is, well, it's funny as hell, frankly.

I loled.

I got new rear tires for my C5 finally... Kumho Ecsta XS in 315/30/18. It's nice to have traction, but they don't fill out my wheel well as much so it doesn't have a gnarly stance anymore.

try it.. what comes out is, well, unintelligible at best.
Compared to google translate, even "turbo not hit block" would be considered "high English"...

Ha! Yeah, I know but, to be fair, it can be helpful when webcaming with Slovakian ****** because at $7 a minute, you need to be quick on the draw.
