Apple's Cube Canned

Apple, think different. Does different mean retarded?

Shouldn't even bother to read the posts in an Apple news article. Just remember that without people trying and sometimes failing to innovate, we would never advance.

I also don't see anyone here having any bright ideas about alternatives to the stagnant, "Whoa it's got a faster clock speed" pc market.

Even as an Apple user I am glad to see the Cube gone (well as long as it is gone and not just a rumor). Is aw it as a "professional" iMac since you couldn't upgrade shit on it except for a bigger monitor and maybe another 3d card later on. I could care less about a fan, the noise isn't THAT loud to distract someone.

Also from the one person who said about the CD trays catching fire... Um is that even possible? I know there is a problem with CD's with labels printed on them getting stuck inside the drive.

Even all the hard ass anti-apple people can't say that the company is atleast trying to innovate. Interesting case designs, shipping an all new OS based on the Mach kernel, etc etc. But for every innovation they make they fuckup a bunch of other things (one button mouse STILL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, overpriced/underperforming systems to name a few).

I will still stay an Apple fanboy though and laugh at some good ol fashined Mac bashing at The Shack.

How many of you die-hard anti-Apple nuts have ever actually used a Mac? C'mon, raise your hands. One... two... I see three. The rest of you, bugger off.

Apple always has been and will continue to be an innovator. Where would we be without Apple today? Using metal desktop ATX boxes with no style running DOS. Remember the IBM XTs? Yep, those.

Sure, Apple took a gamble on the avant-garde cube and lost big time, but who here didn't marvel at the sheer engineering genius that was the G4 cube? Granted, I say this from my home built Celery 900 with loads of games and applications, not a Mac.

The sculptural cube design rocked. I'd like my home built PC to run in something even half as attractive.

Have yet more fun bashing Macs.

Too bad. The Cube really goods good with a LCD monitor etc.

I wouldn't buy an Apple or even suggest it to anyone, but its always interesting to see what they are doing.

Here's a funny headline for this:

G4 Cube Meets Circular File

THIS PRODUCT IS TERMINATED.

An iMac is slower then my celeron, that's pretty bad.

Apple should just kill its computer buisness and design neat cases for pc's.

Guess they weren't all they were cracked up to be..

reference to the cracks in the clear casing that Apple denied even after photographic evidence

Get this Apple crap off my Shack.
NOW.

I love Apple computers, especially the G4s. They remind me of my PC from two years ago...

The G4s are fine from what I've heard. The cubes are ass. I've actually heard that there was a problem with the CD drive that actually caused it to catch fire and burn.

Not to mention the retarded idea of trying to make a PC with no fan at all. WOW THAT WAS A SMART ONE APPLE!

No wonder they canned 'em. They look pretty fucking slick though, I'll give them that.

You are the weakest link.. goodbye!

A guy at my workplace has one of these and they're kinda neat. I mean, as far a computer that only gets 25% of the games released and has a 1 button mouse goes that is. But the thing I could never ever wrap my mind around with these things?

You can't upgrade the video

Fellow shackers, let us give a nelson laugh to these fellows, and then feel some pity. Or vica versa if you're just a bastard.

Can I get a "BWaHAhAhahAHHAAHhAHAHah!!!!!" ?

YSE DIE APPLE
