I just came across this video which apparently occurred two days ago in Houston. I'm not a lawyer, but I think some laws might have been violated by the police officer(s).

[ Image ] That reminds me, my most liberal friends all have MACs. Though, iPhones are pretty evenly distributed among my friends (no liberal or conservative correlation). and it's funny, but most (not all) people I run across who hate Macs just can't afford them. So they resort to Mac bashing. :smi...

At home I have a self built PC running Windows Vista since 2008 with nary a problem. Runs all the time. Right now I have several spreadsheets open, more then a few browser sessions, a game of Call of Duty Modern Warfare, a game of Mini Ninjas and probably my Tivo video app running. It is a Intel Q6...

Calm down everyone. While my thread title may have been poorly thought out it looks like it was a little prophetic. Sorry again Charles. I've always been curious about Macs, but was so much a PC person that I never took the initiative to learn about them. I was concerned over the compatibility with...

I have noticed that a lot of folks say a Mac is okay because it can be set up to boot as either a PC or a Mac? So a Mac is okay because it can act like a PC and it only costs three times as much to be able to get around to being a PC. Hmmmmmm :headscratch I think I'll keep the PC for 1/3 the price ...

There are a lot of 3rd party, free programs you can use to modify and tweak the GUI. Not so much with MACs though.

If you mean the Tiles, that can be turned off too.

It doesn't need to be dual-booted. You can run windows in a Mac window using either Vmware Fusion or Parallels Desktop. This gives you the ability to run programs on the Mac that have no Mac equivalents. Legacy programs, etc. So then you can switch back and forth between Mac programs and Windows pr...

Just please don't stick them on your car! A couple days ago, I saw a car with 11(!) Apple stickers on the back window. If I was a bad guy, I know which car I would be breaking into first.

Certainly are of the potential war and absolutely do not want one. The pros you mentioned are why I'm considering a Mac. I've been lucky for years or all the precautions I've taken have been effective or both. MagicGlock, do you have any experience with any of the MS Office suite products on your M...

Not having a right mouse button will cause you no end of frustration, until you figure it out. Getting the CD to eject will drive you batty. I haven't brushed up on my MAC knowledge recently, but I believe the "mighty mouse" has a right click button. It's just not evident because the casi...

First, in response to the idea that MACs are less susceptible to malware, that's because Apple is relying on the idea of "security through obscurity." Macs are only a small percentage of the whole market share, so a cracker (malicious hacker or script kiddie) will get his/her biggest bang...

Hi all! I've been lurking in the shadows here observing for a while, but when I saw this topic, I just had to post. First, in response to the idea that MACs are less susceptible to malware, that's because Apple is relying on the idea of "security through obscurity." Macs are only a small p...
