I estimate this dude has about $12,000 worth of apple shit in his room. It's fucking ridiculous.

[p_2001]

And he is a tech guy...

It's gotta be more than that, 12,000 would only pay for two iMacs

[proxx]

He is so full of himself.
I only watched 20 seconds before I started getting pissed.
What a moron.

[fluxdaemon]

At first I thought you said mormon...

Lets not judge the guy.
He's got the money so why the hell not get 20k worth of apple shit.
It works for him, makes him happy, lets him do everything he needs to do. And thats good. Whatever floats his boat.

It makes me angry when people judge others by just watching a damn video.

Whatever man, he's an apple fanboy and a tech guy... those two statements does not compute on the same line, man.

[fluxdaemon]

I guess to be fair he's not a TOTAL fanboy since he doesn't like iOS

Why not?
Have you even used a new generation mac for a considerable amount of time?
A mac can be used for pretty much anything, and are very stable for home use (and thats where he uses them). Name one single reason how having a linux or windows setup instead of that mac setup would make his computer life easier (besides cost)?

And no, I am not a mac/apple fanboy. At this time I don't own any apple products. I am a linux/windows fan boy.

The problem is more of his shovenistic atitude feeling the need to post all his crap on youtube. He's just bragging about his exspensive setup.

^^This. It's like when you see that douche bag with a nice car trying to rub it in everyones face, always talking about how much money they make, and all the things they own. The kind of people in this video are the ones that wanna make everyone envy them. I know a lot of these kind of people. And the guy in the video claiming to be a tech guy I bet he can't run a dns flush or know how to read a trace route, hell I bet he can't subnet a subnet or explain even how the CPU stacks data in RAM.

He is running matrix screen savers which is a fail. I know the Matrix movies are epic, but every hipster that claims or wants to be a tech guy or hacker automaticly reverts back to that film. And then he has a video for every device/equipment that he has (all apple BTW), that tells me, "Hey look at all my shit, wish you had it eh?".

All in all, Apple is nothing but market, not tech. If they where tech Woz would still be apart of it and their "devices" could compete with better lower priced things (Snap Dragon anyone?).

+1 techb

Couldn't have said it better myself. If I had the time I would have said pretty much the same thing. It's fine to be an Apple fanboy, no worries. People are going to like the devices they like. But this dude ("I just can't live without my 6 Apple screens") is just one of those people that are like "look at all this overly priced shit I own".

I'm also not saying that Apple products are bad, but they are sure as hell not innovative. For example, one of Apple's latest patents:

Back in 2009, Google filed a patent for Android’s “notification bar,” a feature that Apple wouldn’t figure out how to implement into iOS for another couple of years. Here we are almost four years after that patent was filed and Apple has decided that its “notification center” is worthy of its own.

Android’s “notification bar” allows users to manage incoming messages, Tweets, calendar appointments, alarms, and emails, to name a select few. It’s evolved over time, but back in 2009, it was accessed just as it is today, with a simple swipe down from the top of the phone. Users are also notified of new notifications through this bar as they come in.

Apple’s “notification center” acts much the same. As notifications arrive, the top of the phone notifies the person, which can then tap on those notifications or swipe down from the top of the phone to access the entire “center.” Apple has tried to beef up their “center” by including widgets in it, something Android has no need for as the operating system allows widgets in a variety of other places.

There is no telling if Apple will attempt to use this patent in future lawsuits, but I can’t imagine it doing much good, especially after having filed for it years after Google attempted to patent a similar technology. On a positive note, this is one of the few times we have seen Apple show up late to the party on the patent front.

SOOOO innovative. Take something Androids done since the G1 on Android 1.5 Cupcake and say its new innovative technology. The products would actually be good if 1. They dropped the price and 2. Stop presenting themselves in a way that tries to block innovation. They need to get over the fact that Microsoft made it bigger than them, and then Google comes in with Android Linux and makes them the new last place OS used by the world. Linux>Windows>Mac Haters gonna hate.

I bet if Woz stayed though, it'd be different than it is


Steve Jobs knew how to mix things together, make it look prettier than it actually is and make people think they need it because there's nothing else out there

Yes well since Steve Jobs died did you see their launch iPhone 5 ad? iPhone, the biggest thing since the iPhone. I mean really? How lame. The iSheep ate that shit up though. Wozniak was a rare genius and did the bulk of Apples innovating. However you will see the great Wozniak rocking an Android because he knows just how bad iOS is compared to Android. But then if you think about it, Android has been the more of a "tech guys" phone and that's what Wozniak is. The iPhones excel in being pretty and simplistic (just like all of their devices). It's great to get grandma on video chat because of how easy it is for them to work. It's also great for all those dumb bimbos because they aren't just tech illiterate, but just plain illiterate in general and the shiny interface and look attracts the whores. Apple is a recipe company, they take others great innovations, patent it, rearrange shit around in a pretty simplistic interface, lock it down, and feed the sheep.

Ok I see what you mean guys.
He might be showing off, yes.

Oh and BTW, just because a company such as apple is overrated and likes to steal innovation, does not make its products bad. Stealing innovations and claiming to be the most innovative company might be morally wrong, but that does not make the company products bad. I have used a friends macbook pro that is 6 years old but is more stable and responsive then mine year old laptop with slightly better specs. So calling the products that immoral company makes bad is not exactly logical. I don't have a problem when people hate on the company, but I do have a problem when they start hating on the products, because there is nothing wrong with them, as far as an average user is concerned, and average users are the big majority.
So often people compare products from a tech user perspective, when that does not make sense for the average user.
Its kind of hard to express what I mean, but judging from the discussions about apple that I have seen around the net, I realized that many people are just misinformed. Most have not even used a mac for a considerable amount of time to understand it, and hence just judge the product based on the facts about the company. That should never be the case, because first of all all companies in the world have their dark secrets, and some are just better at keeping them that way then others.

BTW, I am still waiting for that one single reason why an average user (or even that guy who works as a virtualization architect by the way) should NOT use a mac and use windows or linux instead. One good reason.
