[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;30013409]I think he's pointing out that Apple doesn't support their products for as long time. And no, you can't say the same with BF3 for XP. XP is 10 years old and BF3 is not made by Microsoft.[/QUOTE]
Eh, you're right. You still don't have to "buy a new computer" like the article says though

What
There's quite a lot of difference between a game and an operating system
[editline]24th May 2011[/editline]
not to mention what you described would be forwards compatibility for the operating system
my 2nd gen ipod touch is basically worthless because you are forced to install the newest version of the operating system if you don't want to use the antiquated, useless version that it comes with (2.1). 4.0+ has severe performance problems on older devices.
if i didn't jailbreak it, remove half of the background processes, and continually wipe the active memory while in use, the thing wouldn't work. i have to micromanage the wifi/active proceses or otherwise it would crash and pull a hard reset (which takes like 5 minutes and it still does anyways)
and yet, on 3.1 it ran butter smooth. Perfectly fine. I only had to update because my old one broke and apple gave me a brand new one
fucking apple and their non-open-ended products that cant easily be updated and not break (like windows)

If more games natively supported linux, and it was available in stores (charging only for the disk of course) i think we could see a march of the penguins as more and more people switch to linux. I know i would if more games ran natively on it (wine fucking sucks)

He *may* be running a powerpc mac, which snow leopard dropped support for (understandable, I have no real problems with this). That doesn't mean apple's legacy support isn't appalling though, nor that charging £100 for a glorified service pack is justifiable.

that would be hard considering I've never owned a mac
and even if I did it doesn't make your post as terrible
Fucking hell, my old 30 gb iPod is almost unreadable from dead pixels, and now I have to get a mac?
I really hope I misread the article, or find an equally useful media player that doesn't die in an hour, and has the space for 45ish books/~24 days worth of audio

This is just bad.
nothing is perfect... Unless you build it yourself, but then you have to know what you want. i own a mac, and use Dell's everyday. i have run using Mac OsX, Ubuntu, windows(everything since 95), linux. they all have a problem if you look for one

not really a "design move" but when cords have been tangled/in a loop for a while so when you try to straighten them out they go back to being tangled/looped

Honestly I don't think making games more available on it would do much, especially from apple users, who most likely aren't gamers anyway. And why is steam supported on macs but not Linux anyway?

Pick 'disability'.
When asked, say 'the disability of being white' and laugh all the way home (read: to the unemployment line).
