09.21.10 | Don't know why people are bagging macs. It's much, much more user friendly than my old PC. Actually much better in every way. |
Powerban
09.21.10 | I just stumbled upon these guys too, kinda chill stuff but I'm hooked on it already. The vocals are spectacular. Might be something you're after.

The guitarist/vocalist is also in a slighty heavier band called A Swarm Of The Sun if you also want to check them out. |

09.21.10 | "Don't know why people are bagging macs. It's much, much more user friendly than my old PC. Actually much better in every way." --> More expensive, they don't let you do excactly what you want, upgrading is a pain in the ass, standard hardware is bad (Talking mouse and keyboard here), almost no customization, OS X doesn't run many very useful programs, almost no games to speak of.. that's just the general picture of it. Here in Denmark, the cheapest Macbook is more expensive than some of the High-end Laptops from ASUS which are much, MUCH faster and have a bigger, better screen. I must say though, the design of the Macbook Pro is pretty nice. Like the buttons and seems like pretty good build quality. But using it for 2 weeks pretty much showed me that Mac OS X is WAAAY too backwards for me, I couldn't get it to do many of the things I wanted, and in the end, I just gave up and used Bootcamp to run Windows 7 until I had to give it back to the University. |
Maniac!
09.21.10 | Trespassers William - Different Stars

09.21.10 | Macs are great little computers.
Hipsters that buy them because they think it is cool to have one give them a bad name. They are great computers for media editing. |

All computers are good if they suit your needs. Just don't crap on MSoft for being a fascist monopoly when Apple is just as if not more evil. W7 is the best OS ever imo, but OSX was pretty great back in 2004. Macs look pretty and when i'm rich im going to buy a cute one for my girlfriend to go along with her designer puppy of the week... |

09.21.10 | If you are even remotely computer savvy all the problems that people normally talk about concerning windows are easily fixed. I work as a sales rep at a computer store and every day I use macs and I have to talk about how awesome macs are and it pisses me off because they're overpriced and underpowered, yet somehow developed some sort of cult following based on the fact that they are "trendy". Ugh. |
