Mac will share... for a buck



By the way, Artemiy Lebedev reports that Apple has hierarchy based on the date of joining the company. Steve Jobs couldn’t register as number 1, so he had to get number 0. Just like in a Communist Part, says Lebedev, a Mac user himself. Well, if even those that are “using” agree…

In one of his posts in his LiveJournal, Lebedev mentioned that after coming to US, he soon realized it is no different from the USSR. Why? Because in the American warehouses they also use stupid slogans painted with unimaginative font in all caps.

As a designer, he probably thinks that things looking pretty (which is important) is all there is. A chitzon (a superficial person), in other words. This was also in the early 90’s when Russian idea of economics was finally legalized theft.

Of course, Mac users don’t give a damn about economics — or any internal process, for that matter. As long it’s shiny and pretty outside. Even if it’s difficult to use, as long as it is shiny and “designed properly”, well then...




In one British Mac vs. PC commercial, they are promoting an idea how PCs at home are boring and make home look more like office. I don’t know what exactly that means. Because I am able to custom-build my PCs, my office PCs area geared each for the specific function they serve (processing of heavy graphics, information analysis, a bit of computing), while my home PC is designed for things I do at home at my leisure — for example, computer gaming. But I forgot, Macs are so much better designed for computer games and other forms of fun than PCs…
