Interesting post on 25 years of Apple at The Register:
Most Macs are, in general, closed systems that aren’t meant to be upgraded or customized, despite the fact that an entire third-party ecosystem exists to do just that. Most Mac users, however, don’t exploit upgrade possibilities other than RAM – and except for the top-of-the-line Mac Pro and the hard drives of the MacBook and MacBook Pro, Apple doesn’t make it easy for them to do so.
That said, if you buy the right Mac, it’ll do pretty much what you want it to do right out of the box – unless you’re a devoted gamer. Despite the fact that Apple continually tries to assert that it’s got game, the truth is that no Mac can carry the jockstrap of a fully hot-rodded Windows box when it comes to PC gaming.
A big meh.
…we’ll brace ourselves for January 24, 2009. There’s no telling what the Jobsian cult might do.
A glimmer of hope, maybe? If it’s anything regarding games, I’ll eat my own head.
