I'm fairly certain that if iMacs had a bug where it randomly murdered kittens, Marco would try to swing it into an argument against animal overpopulation or something.
- tallanvor 15y agoGiven that he claims that custom drives somehow lowers Apple's costs, I have to agree with you.
- blasdel 15y agoWhen I saw that post this morning I flipped the bozo bit on him hard -- even Gruber isn't that outrageously sycophantic (or at least has the foresight not to post it).
- smackfu 15y agoEspecially odd considering his recent posts where he contemplates whether you really need a Mac Pro given how good a iMac is. And now just a HDD upgrade requires a Mac Pro, and that is swell.
- guywithabike 15y agoI'm fairly certain that if someone wrote something you didn't agree with, you would try to swing it into a bizarre straw man that you could blow away with a light breeze.
- nupark2 15y agoI'm not sure I understand your objection. The iMac isn't even remotely user-serviceable. Apple used hard drives that fit their design constraints. Marco's position seems perfectly sane to me.
