Wuzzie Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Somebody should try taking a regular desktop PC in with OS X, and ask for help. When they say it's a PC you tell them you dropped your powermac case and it broke, so you used a PC case. If they open it up just tell them that the PowerMac motherboard broke too so you bought a new one, realized that the CPU wouldn't run with it and bought an Intel CPU, etc etc etc. See how long you can go untill the tech guy comes to the conclusion that it was never a powermac with replaced components.

gwprod12 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 That's a clever plan. Except, what you need to add is the "uh" factor. Hi, my mac broke That's a PC case. Yah, my brother in law fixed my computer for me, he said it needed a new case. The motherboard in here is an Intel motherboard Is that good? No, this is the Apple store. Yes, this is a mac. It's a PC. Really? I thought it was a mac. (turns it on) See? Mac No, this is an illegal mac clone. Clone? Yes, a clone. I thought cloning only worked on frogs and sheep. No, not a real clone. It's a fake clone of a real Macintosh computer. Is that good? No, it's bad. Can you fix it? No, I cant. So it's okay? No, it's broken That's bad. Why cant you fix it? Because it's not a mac. Yes it is, see? (points to Mac OS) Sir, this is the Apple store. What you've brought in is an illegal mac clone. So I should go to the Illegal Apple Clone Store? Can they fix it? etc and so forth.

Swad Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Thread cleaned for unneeded political discussion. Keep it in Real Life, guys, or take it to the Thunderdome. gwprod12 - Hilarious convo. I'd like to go to sit a hackintosh laptop next to a MacBook and play with the Apple speech app: Hi, I'm a Mac. ...and I'm a Mac. Wait a minute, you're not a Mac. Sure I am - see? Aqua? But you have an Intel motherboard! So do you. Good point. But I can do cool digital media things with the iLife suite. Me too. Well I can do Windows, spreadsheets... ...yeah, me too. We're the same, remember? Oh yeah... so how much did you cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwhsh8r Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I love it when people like you come on here and run their mouth and flame, really not knowing what you are saying. hah! I would gladly make me an OSX86 T shirt and go to an Apple store if I had one where I live. Why? To get the info to the Mac community and maybe hit Jobs in the pocket and MAYBE make him rethink the whole OSX on Macs only. bwhsh8r, man you got to have bad luck. I have had no problems with iPods. Weird. Yea its pritty abd, but the newer gen ipods seem to be much better.... the video 60 hasnt broken.... i am not sure if the shuffle is broken ne more, i didnt really take a look at it, but i havnt taken it in because my mon never uses it so she hasnt bothered yet. Oh, and get go pod, it unlocks your ipods firmware to make it louder, and thanks to you and AcePlayer for having my back with that guy, he just poped out of nowhere.... annoying... i hate flamers. max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebster Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 gwprod12 & Mash jokes Max, anytime dude. He was just some guy who probabily couldn't get OSX installed on his PC. And you're right he did pop out of no where. What really annoyed me was that the topic was becoming quiet funny. Then he droped an unwelcomed bombshell. Anyway sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 someone on the forum (cant remember who - sorry, whoever you are) suggested that if the only requirement of meeting the EULA on Mac OS X is that it must be installed 'on apple hardware', well what about installing it onto an iPod connected to a hackintosh laptop or desktop? technically you have installed it on apple branded hardware.... i wonder how that would stand up in court?

another_earthling Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have an idea....I dont have an apple store here but can any of you guys make a video of going into an apple store with a hackintosh or wearing a OSX86 tshirt? We can put it on you tube and just might be the most popular online video. I mean such stupid videos are comming up on yahoo homepage for being popular like those golden fishes dancing and all that stupid stuff. We can put the video on youtube...all of us will enjoy... Oh and wait I always had this idea of an advertisement for OSX86.... A MACBOOK $599 AN iMAC WITH INBUILT iSIGHT $1299 MACBOOK PRO WITH A GORGEOUS SCREEN $1999 THE LOOK ON AN APPLE EMPLOYEES FACE AFTER SEEING OSX ON A NON-MAC HARDWARE.......PRICELESS THERE ARE SOMETHINGS MONEY CANT BUY.....FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE IS MASTERCARD...... BUT THEN WHY USE IT WHEN YOU CAN GET THE MAC EXPEREINCE FOR FREE! we can make the advertisement and we can use the video of the apple store when the part "LOOK ON AN APPLE EMPLOYEES FACE AFTER SEEING OSX ON A NON-MAC HARDWARE" comes up. Cool idea huh? And oh yea....it would be a good idea to have a hidden camera..just to be safe. Tell me what do u think Earthling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Freak Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 We the people of OSX86 should sell T-Shirt that says "OSX86 ROCKS" in front and on the back, it should say "InsanelyMac.com" We really should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me use the ipod for one example. Marjorly overpriced. Yes it is colour and yes it can do video. Who cares. I want an MP3 PLAYER. Not a multimedia system. Even before they added all this rubbish it was still overpriced. You could get a Sony for 25% or more less. I worked part time in a retail store and the most number of returns we had were for ipod. OK I admit, yes we sold more ipod than other mp3 players but the number of returns were disproportionate. We just started saying... "you got a problems with you ipod. Not surprised. Buy a sony... or anything else". I think this is the anger rogabean was talking about. And not I’m showing sign of it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwhsh8r Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 My Nano now runs Linux, it actually runs better. But it won't sleep. Yea, my dad got a 5g and it has had no problems yet, i think that they have worked out the reliability issue and i have run linux on it and doom too (have you done that yet, its quite fun, ill post a link asap), and addressing a prior post, i spell bad because i twitch, and i dont pay attention, and also, im 16, i was rased in the "office" erra, my spelling sucks, thats why office has spell check, and that does not disprove my theory that seems to be widely beleved and proved...that apples are in fact overpriced, althoug i beleve the notebooks (or laptops if you prefer to call them that) are a little bit closer in the comparison value wise, but the desktops have a horrible deficit between hardware costs and msrp... along with the ipods, because they can and people still buy them... thank you max oh and ps, nice vids aceplayer, i like em, im going to format them for the ipod video, if anyone wants a copy pm me...
