oooh noes. Why don't you put some pictures in the corner of teh windows with CSS again to really get your point over, dickcheese?

Do you really want Adobe to use vi and make? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN "use xcode"? There IS NO "XCODE" BEYOND THE GUI you insufferably arrogant[1] arse?

[1] And this is coming from *me*.

I think he means that Xcode is shit for compiling and debugging large apps, which is true of pretty much *every* IDE GUI I've ever used. It becomes a nice text editor that kicks off your build process if you like. And on really large projects, you probably just check in the code and have your build machine do it via either timed compiles or triggered scripts.

― mike h. (mike h.), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep, I agree. So why does he think they should have switched to "xcode" last year and not just some gcc-centred build?

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

XCODE IS GCC; I AM USING "XCODE" AS A CONVENIENT SHORTHAND FOR APPLE'S VERSIONS OF GNU UTILS, ETC INSTEAD OF THE CODEWARRIOR SHIT, YOU OBTUSE TURD-CONSUMING NIT.

YOU ARE BEING A TURD.

The XCode GUI for subversion is one of the worst I have ever used. It is a fucking terrible application for doing any editing in anything other than a C-like language too.

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:46 (seventeen years ago) link

XCODE IS GCC only if ADIUM IS GAIM. I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE CALLING TWO DIFFERENT THINGS BY THE SAME NAME.

ALSO "XCODE" IS LONGER THAN "GCC".

Not to mention that you're still talking out your ass, as "APPLE'S VERSIONS OF GNU UTILS" are ALSO utter shit. STABS as a debug format compared to CW? No thanks.

In other things I got wrong, Aperture will actually run on the MacBook, it's just not supported due the graphics card.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 00:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Now that I'm finally back from work, I have to say:

-Looks lusty (except for maybe the bevel where you open it)
-Onboard graphics and shared vram suck and hopefully Apple will realize this by Feb '08, when my 12" PowerBook G4 is set to retire
-What's this about user-replacable hard drives?
-Shiny screen. Ew.
-Stays closed w/ magnet. Didn't the first iBooks do that? Nice idea.
-1280 x 800? Nobody makes desktop images that size!
-The Keyboard. At first I thought it was designed to be spillproof, but it's all just fancy looks.
-Same ports as the 12" Powerbook, guess a pc card port is too "pro"
-13 hours and "MacBook Blak" is still funny!

Much like the Intel iMacs, the MacBook sports one notable feature over its PowerPC based ancestor: it now supports extended desktop (as pointed out by Frasier Speirs). iBooks would only support monitor mirroring out of the box (though there are some sneaky ways to get around that).

Cool I guess? I never use this feature on my 12" Powerbook except for running the 2 screen powerpoint mode and possibly video art

― JW (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 03:40 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i've always assumed that would be useful but i've never gotten around to using it!

the keyboard on these things looks weird... there seems to be a lot of space between the keys!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 04:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon, you disappoint me; real men code in blood, sweat and vi.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool I guess?

It's pretty handy. When I'm running dual-screens I usually move my iTunes and iCal windows over to the small screen - stuff that I like having open and not-minimized.

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 04:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, I use Vi(m)! Where did I say I used XCode?

Chris, I did that for a while but I hated having the tiny, not aligned powerbook screen and the loss of deskspace.

― JW (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 04:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think "Lust" is the term for the Nike+iPodGlobal:
With the Nike+ footwear connected to iPod nano through the Nike+iPod Sport Kit, information on time, distance, calories burned and pace is stored on iPod and displayed on the screen; real-time audible feedback also is provided through headphones.
Here.

(Oh, and don't forget your "PowerSong" -- press the centre button for a jolt of musical adrenaline). Ick Ick ick.

Eh, not an awful idea, just sad to see them work with such fucking scumbags.

This is far enough for me.

So... now we have something new to skewer Bono over!

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 21:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I played with the new MBs this afternoon. They do seem to run hot, even idling. Why is Apple so obsessed with outer styling and being as thin as possible that every notebook runs warm or hot to the touch?

The glossy screen would get old quick, I think. Even in CompUSA, with lights fourty feet in the air, I was getting glare on parts of the screen.

― milo z (mlp), Saturday, 27 May 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i checked one out at compusa and while i'm not big on the glossy screen, i ordered one anyway because i really do need a new computer like, now, and i can't really afford a mabook pro. i will learn to live with glossiness!

I just got my mbp this week, so far it seems not to much worse, heat wise that my g3 powerbook, which is to say, it gets pretty hot.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 28 May 2006 01:16 (seventeen years ago) link

three months pass...

For only $2749 plus tax, you can have a 24" iMac w/ a decent video card, 2GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I might end up getting one as I need a new monitor and computer

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm waiting for a new freaking macbook already

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that I am going to move to a Nokia 770 for a mobile computer and use my Pbook G4 for music stuff. Then just a big honking iMac at home.

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

1) When will Nokia offer a ~~better~~newer tablet pc?
2) Does the 770 work with iSync?

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Dear Apple -

New MacBook Pro please. k thx bye.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Nevermind, no syncing. Maybe I just need to move to an entirely Gmail based solution and then hack something to sync to address book / ical

I've been seeing really shitty reviews of the 770. Have you used one?

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

this one particularly scathing about the IMAP

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i wish gcalendar was more sync/ical friendly :(

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

the imacs are definitely tempting-looking but i absolutely need a laptop

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm going to move to an entirely Web-based email/calendering/task list setup. Except with iCal running for phone sync and a local email client at home for archival / offlineness

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i was thinking about that but there are still times (on a train etc) where i'm not online and it'd suck to not have access. can you sync you rphone & stuff from a web setup?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Yea, that is a valid concern. Fuck.

My phone right now syncs cal and address book from my computer. The calendars can be remote iCal feeds.

― Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Although having on demand GPRS with the nokia 770 may make it a nonconcern....

Moleskine has great soft-cover journals now, about 1/5 as many pages as the regular journals. Overpriced, I think, but I got my stack for free.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

TOM, DO U HAVE A HIPSTER PDA [Y/N]?
IF Y, DOES IT HAVE COAX IN [Y/N]?
