track09 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yes, I agree. I come here for OSX86. There are tons of Apple news sites on the net, many of which are updated more frequently, and have a large userbase of real mac users. They're hard to compete with. There are many users who come here for OSX86, and I think there SHOULD be more of a general focus on OSX86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How am I not on topic? We are being asked if we want someone to join the staff and I'm saying no. You, by asking me, are getting us off topic. Right. Lets stop this foolishness right now. Numberzz, you know very well that every application for News Team, Moderator, etc... goes through the Staff forum before it is decided on. This poll only tells me that people want OSx86 news. The only reason they want erei33 for the news team is because he seems like a person who might actually deliver OSx86-related news. Despite that, you previously claimed (in one of your deleted posts) that Prawker had rigged the poll anyway - so the second question really is void anyway. I don't know what you have against erei33, but whatever it is - save it for the Staff forum. Now - back on topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running With Scissors Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think the news should be less about Apple but more about OS X which focuses heavily on osx86. If i am looking for news on Apple products I go to other sites but if I am looking for news on osx86 this is the first place i visit. +1 OSX86 News +1 Erei33 News Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Interesting, a new AMD version of OSx86... And a new universal (Intel/AMD) DVD in development, new SATA controller kext, a 9.2 kernel that fixes the shutdown issues, mac.nub's fantastic AppleSMBIOS.kext... There are all kinds of developments in the OSX86 world, and none of it is being covered! Listen to me, there is a time difference of 8 hours from where you are located and from where I am located. You posted this at 12:22AM. Do you expect me to get up at midnight and write about it? That still doesn't make up for the complete lack of OSX86 coverage in general. I realize that you're just one staff member, but how hard would if be for you guys to post OSX86 news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJavid Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Is this currently being debated in the staff forum? I agree with erei33 100%. Two new Leopard releases are about to be released, and JaS came back. These really should be on the front page. We have other places to get the news that is currently there. I'm gonna guess that many people don't pay too much attention to it anymore. Could someone who doesn't want OSx86 news tell us why or how it would hurt? +1 for erei33 on news team +1 for more OSx86 news Give us an update on this staff!

gabe_ Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 +1 for more OSX86 related news. +1 Erei33 for news team. There are already about 234,825 dedicated Apple news sites that do the "official" Apple news/rumor thing better. That's not to say that this site shouldn't report on those stories at all... But in my mind, this site's strong point is CLEARLY being a (THE?) Hackintosh resource. It'd be nice if the news page reflected that. If this site doesn't want to report on so-called "scene news" ... Does anyone else know of a good one stop shop for OSX86 news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think there are less & less OSX86 news on this site cuz there is pretty much nothing new worth adding. I personnally think adding news for every new rlz of OSX86 is useless. Only PCEFI was front page material, everything else is just repacks or ATI drivers patches. Now that we are running OSX86 without that much efforts, it seems there is nothing much to tell about it. The Maxxuss century is over. Just my 2 cents.

Ongeloof Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 {censored} you erei33. I don't use OSx86, and the other news team members fill in there so you can just go away, k? I voted No on both Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wppley Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think this topic is turn into a fight of rich guys against poor guys. Why not put osx86 news in front page? Discrimination is disgusting (sorry for my poor english). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Camp Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Should InsanelyMacs's 'Front News' page focus more on OSX86 related news? Yes- It'd be nice to have recent developments on the front page Erei33 for news team? Yes The Front Page News is absolutely biased, it would be nice to get OSx86 on there and I think it would be great to have a separate News Team, OSx86 News.

socal swimmer Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 i heavily agree with more OSx86 news. I would even go so far as to say only OSx86 news, with an occasional mention of new apple computers/ OS X stuff. iWork? iPhone times a billion? iTunes 7.6.1? Come on. This isn't even interesting.

~pcwiz Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yeah, I agree too and I would like more OSx86 news on the front page rather than it being buried halfway down the forum index but I can see InsanelyMac's incentive for not blaring out OSx86 in big neon letters, that would attract a lot of attention--maybe the wrong kind. But while it is good to be careful, it can't hurt having a little OSx86 news here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroke Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well I do agree with cyclonefr — there isn't much worth posting about OSX86-wise. However, that's no excuse to overflow the front page with useless iPhone and other random news. Posting about your experiences with something (and solely that) isn't quite front-page material either. I can see things like new versions of OS X and possibly new apple software releases, but the iPhone posting is getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Marvin Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Also what a lot of people forget about the news (real life I am talking about here) is that they tend to do in-depth and review articles occasionally. You see this a lot on sites such as ArsTechnica and Tom's Hardware. I really enjoy reading the more in-depth analytical and review articles and it's a shame we can't see more here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
