can someone put up a non-biased, undouchey, compare-contrast piece on why i should switch from firefox to safari...or whatever else you were talking about.

Safari is clearly faster based on tests determining speeds of different actions between Safari, IE, and FF.

If you want fast browsing and could care less about all the bells and whistles FF has to offer then use Safari, obvi.

But if you use all the extensions just use ff, Safari is nothing revolutionary.

dude, look at the comparisons, IE 5 and Firefox version 1.something. Come on now. No one will ever know. I think Im gonna hold off on Safari till the real 3 comes out, beta uses too much ram. Sorry. Maybe if I had a mac, but unfortunately I don't yet.

Safari uses less memory for me than it used to.

Your running it on a mac. Try running it on Windows.

how fast is fast. i click on something and in a split second the page loads? will it affect download speeds?

By the graph you can roll your mouse over the words under it to see other comparisons.


It won't affect your download speeds.

wow its 1.6 times faster...id be a moron to not download it!!!!

try it out, if you don't like it...go back. no harm there.

Thats what I did. But as it is in beta, theres so many damn bugs for Windows.

!!!!!!!

choose one at a time and go to the info and you can edit the video type

Getting a Macbook probably within the next two weeks as a graduation present. Suggestions on how I should go about it? Looking on the site I'm thinking the 2.16 GHz, white, with a 160GB drive. I'm wondering if I should just go for the two gigs of ram through Apple, or if I should get one and upgrade it myself. Lori?

Self upgrade. Do not upgrade through apple, they're good people but overcharge on shit like that Diego.''

Go pro btw.

Cool. Thanks buddy. Where could I buy the extra ram?

Edit: Pretty sure a Pro's above my budget. Don't wanna push my luck, and realistically, I'm pretty sure I don't need one.

Dude, I would wait til October if necessary. I mean, unless your starting courses now, I would wait.

I talked to Lori about it today, he said wait til Oct. for the fact of the new graphics card and leopard installed.

Ugh. I think I really have to consider that just 'cause Lori said it. Thanks.

Edit: Leopard looks awesome. :/

Diego, all I am saying is that the Macbook has just been updated, but still stayed on the "old" core 2 duo plattform with the old GMA950 GFX card. However, the new Santa Rosa platform features a new graphics card which will almost rectify the questionable 3d performance of the current offering.

Also if you're getting a reg macbook, get black.

if you have the extra 100 on you, that is.

Don't forget you can order with a student discount, regardless of you even being a student or not.
That will knock off a little more than $100 if you get black...I think.

just downloaded and installed safari. time to see how this works.

edit: alright, even though i've used safari for only a couple minutes, i don't really like it. i'm sure it works much better on mac os x, but it seems to lag on windows. plus i really don't like this bolded font it has, though i'm sure there's probably a way to change it. i'll probably keep using this for a couple more days and then i might go back to firefox.

It's probably anti aliased, not bolded. Let me check it out, I'll get back to you in a sec.

ricky, here's why you'd like safari

edit: but then again....

I don't like the black, personally. To me, the clean white is what makes it Apple (aesthetically, anyway). And I also don't think it's worth the extra money.



I think I'm just gonna wait. My birthday's in October anyway, and I can definitely hold out with my PC until then.

You're doing the right thing, my mexican friend.

I'm looking at trying to get a refurb pro by novem with the new specs. I know it sounds impossible, but I can dream.

I'm actually Ecuadorian, but who's counting.

A beaner's a beaner.




EDIT:
Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I was just kidding.

The saoboard is equal opportunity.

Where would I be able to find Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (the game) or Oregon Trail for a mac.

A fun little challenge.

Haha Porn Mode. GENIUS.



All i did in Oregon Trail was hunt buffalo, the entire time. And everyone like, died of syphilis or drowned when I tried to forge the river haha. that game was sweet.

did you have to wear a helmet while playing it

speaking of hunting games, I played big buck hunter for the first time ever today and got the top score. booyahhhhh.

wheres my cookie, i want my cookie.

snickerdoddle or chocolate chip?

You're gonna kick yourself when your white one starts turning yellow near the trackpad.
But whatever.

Shut up. :/

The black one always is smudged or someshit.

don't be a someshit.

Ok? That's cleanable. Discoloration isn't.

Just saying. I actually wanted the black one for the sake of it being clean or looking cleaner. But once I saw one in real life I had to go white. Funny how the remote isn't black I just assumed it would be.

That's why you should all go Pro and go silver. That's what defines a Mac, not white...Their top of the line stuff has been silver for a long time.

On a different note, my best friend (who's an incredible video editor) received his Mac Pro today (with dual 20" cinema displays, etc), so I'll be drooling over that for awhile.

If October comes around and I have the cash. Silver is where I'll be.

Pro would be really, really, really pushing my limits. Not holding my breath on that one.

alternatively, i'm not going to settle for a non-pro.

or you could always just not believe a word brian says and take my word for it that my girlfriend's 1 year old macbook is still spotless white.

Orrrrr you can take what I said into consideration, and do a little online research about it?
Youtube should even have some vids.

I don't want to wait til October to buy my macbook. I mean within the next two weeks, I'll be able to buy my Macbook. If I buy it then, I'll be able to buy my Canon Digital Rebel, my 32" LCD TV, and my Apple TV. Though, if I save up for a MBP I'll be able to buy that and my camera.

I know you mentioned to me you wanted to get an AppleTV because you're moving and the new place won't have a dvr. But Apple TV does NOT record shows.
Though you can plug your macbook straight up to your television using VGA, s-video, or the yellow video cord.

Don't get me wrong if I had $300 I would prob buy an Apple TV, just because of hassle free movement of the macbook and having to plug in an audio source, but if a macbook pro depended on it, I think I would go pro.

I thought you could hook it up to cable and record shows just like a box. Lame.
