But this is classic:



We did a spoof as well but it wasn't Mac and PC but instead the school news paper and the news show. We could never air it sadly and my friend for some reason never uploaded it.

I think he got up with Letterman's band recently, too.
I tuned into Jay Leno when he was on it just to see him setting down the bass cause he played with the band on Leno's show.

So true, the Mac makes film, music & photo product so simple a 40 year old can do it.

There lies the problem, music & film are degraded because now everyone is a film maker, musician or digital artist.

I tunes killed the CD industry, with the DVD industry up next

If anyone out there seriously want to do easy dumb as dirt recording, by a mini Mac with Garage Band and a M Audio interface and you will be up & running within an hour recording
Before I even started my tech blog, I wrote a thing that went on my facebook about things being dumbed down, specificly Macs. Don't think it is a good idea for everything to be brought down that much because not everything is that easy.

In terms of everyone becoming a film maker, in some sense they can. As having used 2 out of the top 3 editing programs and the top effect program I would say that there is a large separation from using iMovie and one of those programs.

iTunes did indeed kill the CD industry and they, along with Microsoft, are leading the DVD industry on the same path. People are so adapt to the method of downloading that they do not realize that the quality is going to be better if you actually purchase the disc version, especially with HD. I personally prefer to go out to a store and get DVDs/HD-DVD or CDs so that I have a collection that isn't just 1s and 0s on a harddrive.

In regards to the Mac vs PC ads, I find them amusing just to see how full of themselves Apple can be.

I wonder if Apple will take my 6 y/o desktop and give me a mac pro instead.

My relationship with PCs seems to be kind of equal to what some people have with their Macs. My computers stay working with less issues for longer than anyone I know. One example is the editing computers that my old highschool has. We got 3 brand new computers when I went into the advanced level and on the one I was working on constantly, there were no problems and the other ones which were identical kept having issues. Now I have left and that computer has been sent back to the company and come back reformatted with issues that were not around when I was there.

While I will be getting a mac, I can't say I am looking forward to it as it is going to take a while to save up the money and when it comes time to buy it, my pockets will be near empty.

If someone believes in something, I am not going to go and try and change their views. I accept everyone's opinion as their own and respect that.

I am still not a fan of Hillary because of her attempts to limit video games even more when they fall under freedom of speech.

Other than that I am one of those guys that does not care much about politics as I don't see how my single vote would make much of a difference. and when it comes down to it, the only thing that really matters to me is our freedom. With that said, I still don't like where they are going with RFID.

 I am going to kind of have to agree though with what my mom said to me, I don't think America is quite ready for a female or African American president.

Plus, in the end I can't vote yet because I still haven't gotten the form I needed to sign in order to finish my registration.

I will be here and there but I can't say that I will post much.

The creation of this place has emptied out the one at the Pit.
