for me spotlight does the job

Lazymob February 7, 2010 at 1:17 pm

lol spotlight….

braincandy1995 February 7, 2010 at 1:43 pm

it’s a great app but i would rather use finder and that’s just because it’s ”wasting” space because you get finder with the mac and finder is basically the same thing i don’t know that some people just prefer quicksilver so this is just me

Why not just use Spotlight? It’s built into the OS and works exactly the same.

MarkuzLee February 7, 2010 at 2:54 pm

QuickTime X is the best. And its free, imagine that.

MarkuzLee February 7, 2010 at 3:06 pm

And Spotlight can’t do that. Oh, wait.

MrPrancinghorse February 7, 2010 at 3:36 pm

am I missing something? I don’t get the point of this spotlight can do that too.. how is quicksilver different than spotlight?

Do you mean VAIO? I never heard of a WAIO.

So Windows doesn’t have a clean interface? So you can’t have security features on Windows that make your pc invulnerable to viruses? Having the best ergonomic features is easily debatable as its your personal preference. You can’t say that it is the ‘best’ for everyone.

Also I have used my brothers Mac running snow leopard and on two different occasions in which the user settings had been reset and most data had been erased from his hard drive.

LOL.. thats your analysis.. but I am in software industry for about 8yrs now and am a developer. i am using both the OS every day along with Fedora and ubuntu and i use a WAIO and a macbook pro and still i love my Mac. Lot of reasons are there but best parts are no virus, clean interface, better performance and ya the apple laptop has the best ergonomy with awesome touch pad :) cool down dude. If you get enough money use a mac atleast once before shouting.

Microsoft hasn’t paid me for anything. You can be happy, but your OS is still inferior and your computers are ridiculously over priced considering the specifications.

Again your a typical mac users…you know nothing about software or hardware.

kaushik259106 February 7, 2010 at 5:35 pm

@p7811fx Dude why are you dieing to save us from Mac? Did MS paid you.. What ever we are we are happy

kaushik259106 February 7, 2010 at 5:37 pm

@p7811fx Thanks man for pointing out. am a happy mac user and i support you and i dont want people to use MAC so that i wont be having virus in future. You are a virus pron windows user i guess and you are so proud to have virus :D :P

Look up some basic economic facts. If you look at the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index for both Linux and Windows its over 9150. It is well over the 1800 point to be considered an oligopoly. You obviously have no concept of market concentration and monopolies.I believe Apple scored around the 1400 range for 2008 meaning they are still in a monopolistic competition with Windows and Linux based OS. There market share is so small it doesn’t really concern Windows as its below 15%.

p7811fx February 7, 2010 at 7:27 pm

Windows and Linux scores over 9000 on the HHI. Enough said. Sorry Apple, but your company is not in the OS Oligopoly business. Your market share is fail and you OS is for people who don’t know how to operate computers.

There are hardly any viruses on Macs because nobody uses them.

brittdennis February 7, 2010 at 7:45 pm

Google: “Mac Office, $150 Million, and the Story Nobody Covered” and read the BS tactics your company employed to become the Monopoly the DOJ found them to be, it sure wasn’t through superior products!

Don’t think MS bailed Apple out. Typical of MS Fanboy revisionist history the truth is usually 180 Degree’s in the other direction. MS purchase of Apple stock was to save their own asses. They had gotten busted stealing code from Apple, were worried that if Apple did go out of business that their patent portfolio would lead to round of lawsuits from the new owners, and they were making a killing with Office for the Mac,

Here’s a lesson for you Mr. Know It All. PARC Exec’s could see no business use for the GUI that their engineer’s had developed. Steve Jobs and his Macintosh team took the work that the PARC engineers had created an applied it to computers, not printers, with the idea that everyone would be able to operate a computer without having to be a programmer/uber geek. This is why so many of the PARC Team left Xerox to go work for Apple.

taschi71 February 7, 2010 at 8:43 pm

sorry, a BSOD just prevented me from finishing reading your post

p7811fx February 7, 2010 at 8:53 pm

By the way you Mac fanboys say that Windows 7 copied your GUI, but in reality you actually have your OS based heavily off of Xerox PARC. Even if Microsoft did copy you we earned it because we bailed you when you were in serious fiscal trouble so that your business would stay afloat.

Mac GUI = Stolen from PARC.
Mac Fanboys = Need to learn the history of your OS.

p7811fx February 7, 2010 at 9:30 pm

Mac OS market share is fail.

If you look at HHI of both Linux and Windows you see that they go well above the 1800 mark (Over 9000 to be exact (not trying to act like a 4chan-er, but it seriously is over 9000)).

They scored over 9000 on the HHI. Windows and Linux = Oligopoly! Windows and Linux have a barrier of entry of Mac OS, so Macs are constantly getting raped on every sale they make because they have little to no control over the OS market!!!

Wow…
a Finder within the Finder.

why would I want to learn a new set of commands for opening
a file, when I can just click on the file in Finder??

This app is absolute overkill B.S.

users with partnership have unlimited lenght but like 4gb limit or sumthin. look up “longest video on youtube” itl like almost 5 hours long!

danieeel31 February 7, 2010 at 11:32 pm

@Aman1238
Your videos can be pretty much endless, just if the file is under 2GB.

opusman2 February 7, 2010 at 11:59 pm

Actually, the maximum video length is 10:59.

dirtypaper February 8, 2010 at 12:19 am
