Part of the reason for the Xbox's success is because of how efficiently their software can utilize their hardware, plus all of the services and products Xbox gets from Microsoft. Now I was just thinking what if Apple had made the next firmware release for Playstation 3, and helped sony in creating better development tools for game makers. Apple has always been really good at making extremely efficient software, heck have you seen how amazing and fast leopard is compared to vista? Apple needs a better reputation in the gaming industry and sony could definitely use the experience of apple in designing operating systems..... I think they should get together and have a baby..... Plus this would stir up some crazy rivalry between microsoft sony and apple.Sounds like a plan Sony better get to it!

Apple and Sony compete with each other in the PC market space. Ever heard of a Vaio, what about the MacBook (Pro)? :roll:

Yea, very bad idea. That wouldn't ever happen either.

But I do agree that Leapord is much faster than Vista. Vista = Windows ME #2. XP is just too dang good, they can't beat their own product, lol. That just says alot for XP.

Bad idea and would never happen either. About the whole vista thing is true, I just buit a new computer and I have a brand new XP professional, but instead of installing the XP I bought the Vista Ultimate thinking is something way better than XP, what a mistake, it's not worth it.

I am still scratching my head over what microsoft was thinking while they were creating Vista. "Hmm, consumers won't mind the fact an OPERATING system will require 2 GB memory to run smoothly". Geez, even gamers don't have that much memory.

i have leopard its fast in s ome areas slower in others and general not very efficient (networking is broken at this point). Also i never understood why people rag on MS for being a monopoly and not Apple. they have there own OS and you can only get the hardware for it from them, that is a monopoly (They can charge anything they want for there hardware and they do).

That is different though... it's their own operating system on their own product. Microsoft has Windows on Dell, HP, Gateway, Compaq, etc.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Why do you think only Microsoft is going through court for monopoly?

IF your networking disconnects often and is annoying like mine was theres a fix through your router. Go on apple forums and you'll find alot of solutions for your problem.

Okay, concidering it was a joke - not aimed at anybody in particular.... I think you're getting worked up over nothing. Also, why not take into concideration what you're saying to others before you get worked up over a joke. Let it go. I'm done with this topic.

Back ON topic, something you're not interested in, I see no logic for apple to support the playstation other than to take on microsoft in another form, apparently loosing on one isn't enough for them.

lol :) I can see where you're coming from in a sence, but apple clearly aren't interested in gaming. Which I personaly think is a big mistake concidering their latest hardware is actualy quite good, maybe they can pull it together in that department, who knows, but I don't think the playstation is the answer for it.

Though I agree that it would never happen, don't count out partnerships of competitors. Ever heard of the format war between Blu-Ray (Sony) and HDDVD (Toshiba)? Do you know who helped create the Cell BE processor with Sony and currently makes them for the PS3? (HINT: It's Toshiba!)

This would never happen. Apple only cares about their OS and the iPod line, they don't need to be in the gaming scene, and obviously don't care about the gaming scene.

No, SONY should not team up with apple because that's just how it is, they're seperate companies and they do a lot of different things. I don't want to see a mac type pc getting made by SONY, that's just horrible, I hate the mac. SONY has their own thing going and they're getting better so there's no need for apples' help.

WTF? In what way is networking broken in Leopard. I have multiple Macs here and I have many friends with them. You're the first person I've ever seen complain about the networking in Leopard. Also WTH does "not very efficient" mean? Leopard is a hell of a lot more efficient than Tiger for everything from memory management up.

Yea but if you look way down the road. And if you look at how EA and Micro work. A merger between two that actually know what their doing, would be sweet. And it would be dominant, at least quality wise. Because EA and Micro do ok, And they have no quality.

Is that why they released an 8 core desktop yesterday with 2 16 x PCIe 2.0 slots. With the option of using a PCIe 2.0 8800 or 2? With machines like that saying they only care about the OS and iPod line is pretty dodgy.

[QUOTE="SPD_WeBmAsTaH"]I hate the mac. CellAnimation
What an ignorant statement. If you knew anything about Apple's computers (or computers in general) you would know that the Mac is nothing more than a PC that doesn't use the outdated BIOS but in fact it replaced it with Intel's EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface).

Its just the case of following the 60 and Micro. And not understanding the past and now. And transferring that thinking into the companies as a whole. And thus its what the kids will say. Thats all the statement was. Thats why the 60 is also bad news, it upd Micros rep to millions who have no clue. Why the 60, because Micro wants the media area. And even more control over cooperate US outside of the basic tech area. Which is everything from movies to whatever. Thats the reason for the 60. More control.

Apple do have partnerships with Sony. Ever heard of Blu-ray? Apple are on the board of directors of the Blu-ray Disc Association. Gaming on the other hand is just bad business. How long did it take Microsoft to make a profit on the Xbox? Oh right they never did. How long did it take the 360 to make a profit... oh right they had to spend millions and millions of dollars on fixing broken hardware. Anyway time to back away from this thread there seems to be a distinct lack of knowledge about Apple and Sony as a whole here.

Why are you getting touchy about people opinions? Remember the majority of home computers are PCs with windows. Not to mention gaming rigs :P Keep this in system wars if you feel like midlessly backing a company.

How am I mindlessly backing a company by spreading facts? Hell I have just as many Windows Vista boxes here as I have Macs. I work for an IT company and specialize in Network OSes. So that means at work I use WIndows 2000 Server, 2003, Server, Linux, and Unix. But okay I'm an Apple fanboy... :roll:

Yea, very bad idea. That wouldn't ever happen either.

But I do agree that Leapord is much faster than Vista. Vista = Windows ME #2. XP is just too dang good, they can't beat their own product, lol. That just says alot for XP.

boostud
Ok, has anybody here actually ran vista in a PC with more than 1gb of ram and not basic vista, premium. Ill tell u, vista beats XP by alot, and the tools are really easy to use, I havnt crashed once and it loads faster than my xp. My XP laptop was the most expensive avialble in compaqs line up in early 2006. The vista laptop is a cheap HP laptop that probably does the job better than XP if I were to install onit. But wat I really want to see is skype on PS3 just like the PSP. That would be nice. But vista does have alot of stuff that you wasted memory like the graphics on the pages being all cool looking see through and stuff like that.

The gamespot message boards make more sense all the time lol. As many people who hate Windows, and more so Vista. Im amazed to see so many backing windows here. My brother has to work with windows OS's threw IBM and fixing the many mistakes it has. So he knows it inside and out, and he only works with it "not anything else." But he'll be the first to say it blows lol.
