I never said there can't be a mac in the studio that clueless people can use. Music artists love them because they can't use real computers. Your post proved that. As for the videos the first one was just playing a file in the studio, they didn't show anything. One of the others it didn't look like it was part of the main system and one I think I saw a laptop. It's very rare to find one that's part of a real studio system. It's just like you said, "controlling the final product" to show people who can't use a real computer. So they can see it on the same type of overpriced computer they have at home. That doesn't mean it's being used for the main recording studio system.

Apple has always been behind on graphics cards get over it. They had a 8800GTX for the longest time (very outdated card) as the best option that was updated maybe a few months or so ago. Right now the best option I see is a 120 geforce. Click on the mac pro dual quad and you'll see "NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB" as best option. That video card fucking sucks. You're going to buy a $3,299.00 computer and get that crappy card? *cough* RIPOFF *cough* No fucking thanks.

As for pro cards such as the nvidia quadro they've always been behind too. Maybe they catched up lately but I doubt it.

Gaming companies aren't going to waste their time and money. If a new card comes out they need, I'm sure they don't want to worry if they can use it with their crappy overpriced apple. Not to mention most games are designed for windows or other systems with directx 10. If they want to test the game on the same computer I doubt they want to reboot to windows everytime. Macs can't run DirectX 10 or any DirectX I believe unless they use bootcamp, or some emu software which will be buggy, slow, and a waste of time for game developers.

Macs aren't any different than PCs anyway, just the OS which is basically bsd. Apple lovers are blind and always believe they are getting the BEST parts but that's not true. Apple has been caught selling TN panels in their monitors. Not all of their monitors but some of them. TN panels are the cheapest and crappiest kind of LCD Panels you can buy. I could go on and on about it but apple fans will just blindly follow apple and waste their money.

I bet the MacBook Wheel would sell like hot cakes.
