Apple to open iCloud for 'free' before slapping $25 subs on service

Martin Kelly

You choose don't buy it

All this speculation, simple really, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Apple has never made anyone buy a product. Everyone who has, or uses an Apple product does so willingly. If you don't like it choose something else. Simple

iPhone, let down by daft user's

There is not a problem with the iPhone luring people to sites like this, only the stupid gullibility of users who blindly go where their led. Use the brain cells you have and protect yourself, don't always pass the buck to others because of your own inability to think.

Think before you click.

Get a Mac, get a good life.

I'm glad you don't run any IT dept of mine. You seem to be a Jinx with computers.

I've bought and run over 200 Apple computers over the past 10 years and whilst we've had a few problems, all were sorted by Apple (some way outside of warranty)

and I would'nt have the slighest worry about buying 200 more. Over the same time I've used many Wintel PC's with some problems again. My biggest gripe with windows is the level of support needed to keep them all running smoothly.

Webster get a life, if you hate Apple so much, DON'T BUY THEM! DON'T USE THEM, and please don't worry about us poor saps who do buy and use them, were happy with our decisions

If this is all the life you have by baiting Apple users, then you should be grateful to Apple for giving you a purpose in life.

I have a great life thanks AC and its not spent acting as unpaid developers and maintenance contractors for Microshaft. My Macbook and iPhone do everything I need and I'm happy to and be in a position to pay extra for the better things in life. I don't want everybody to use Macs.

So carry on with your jealous ranting and leave us to enjoy life.

No real Anti Virus on a Mac?

Why do we need it, according to Webster Phreaky were to MINUSCULE to be bothered by hackers. The last time I tried Norton it buggered up my system and told me a whole load of BS about all this crap that was meant to be on my system, guess what, there was nothing wrong!!

Why would I want to put windows on my beautiful MacBook Pro, I have a games consul for playing games, I use Pages for word processing and I use MYOB for my accounts, and guess what, they all perform perfectly.

Bring it on

I feel really sorry for you poor guys who have been waiting oh so long for the first threat to the Mac. Thats the point, we've just got on with our computing lives and not had to worry about all the crap that windows users have had to put up with.

No Mac user has ever thought their computer was 100% safe, we're not that dumb, nor are as stupid to think that we have been left alone because of the small number of Mac users. I know that hackers have been trying for years to create a true Mac virus that spreads across the system with no intervention from the user (sound familer) but so far none, nada, zilch nothing.

We also don't need to worry about notification about new threats as all you windows users will let us know quick enough.

Why Apple won't sell 10 million iPhones in 2008

Martin Kelly

Will they, won't they

It always makes me laugh when I read these anti Apple conversations. The simple truth is no one is forced to buy Apple Products. I have used all sorts of kit over the last 30 years and I like to think I use the best product for the job. My car is a BMW, I use a Canon SLR, I watch Pioneer TV's, I wear Churchill shoes and I use Apple computers.

I, like a lot of Mac users, will buy a iPhone for the simple reason that it will integrate with my MacBookPro seamlessly, unlike almost every other smartphone on the market. I won't have to pay inflated prices for my music as it is on my laptop already (from which ever source I choose) and it will be used for its prime purpose of making calls and allowing me to keep my diary, address book up-to date and available at all times. The fact that I can also listen to some of my music, take a photograph in an emergency, access email, order 4000 latte's from Starbucks or surf the web are all extras and are brilliant in one small bit of kit that I can carry in a pocket.

As regards Webster Phreaky, let me say, I work for a company which use Apple computers throughout, by choice as they are the best machines for the type of work we do. In the last 17 years we have bought numerous Apples (of nearly ever type released inc Cubes & G5 iMacs) and we have only ever had two which had problems at birth, both were replaced by Apple with a minimum of fuss. Some of the original blue & white G3's (circa 1998) are still in use and will only be replaced at the next upgrade of (surprise surprise) Microsoft Office. We have never had a system crash that brought the company to a halt or caused us to loose any data or cost the company any money.

I also own an original first gen iPod which has had a battery replacement and is still in use nearly 6 years later as well as a 80Gb 5th gen which not only contains my entire music library from the past 40 years but acts as a back up disk for my laptop and home computer.

No one ever said Apple were perfect, but you pays the money and you make the choice. Stick with what you want and stop slagging off others who disagree with your opinions. I don't think I'm any smarter or more intelligent than someone who uses different products than me, I'm just happy with the decisions that I've made.
