My favourite scene from the film "Coffee and Cigarettes" is when these two rappers are in a diner
And Bil Murray (playing himself) is their waiter (incognito), and they keep referring to him by his full name :
"Hey Bill Murray! What are you doing here as a waiter, Bill Murray?"
It's just, you know, one of those things.

a shit laptop that costs the same as a mid-range laptop. I think it's important to remember that bit.
Hardly surprising; with the Macbook, Apple already established that their business model was to sell mid-range laptops for the price of a top range laptop. This is just the next logical step.

I'm the only one in my family not obsessed with Apple products.
I get their hand-me-downs though as I am using a Mac G5 and have an old-style iPod (hard disk version) so I get the stuff eventually. I'm due to get an iPhone in a few months when daughter's contract runs out and she upgrades to the larger version. One of them will no doubt be purchasing an iPad the moment it is available so I guess I'll get one of them sometime as well.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
Some people understand how good Macs are, other people don't. The latter group aren't forced to go out and buy the overpriced crap, so why do they spend so long moaning about it?

Im confused about which group is which now.
Many of us have spouses and children who are fooled my Apple's slick marketing into thinking that Apple's products are in any way okay, so we are forced to by them due to pester power. Mrs Trumpet is demanding I buy her an iPhone and so far I've put my foot down, but I don't know how much longer I can resist her incessant nagging.

If your wife was nagging you day in, day out to buy her a Ferrari
you'd have the right to complain too.
Particularly when you knew there were other supercars for the same price that were waaaaaaay better.
Ferraris are clearly overpriced, given that they basically do the same thing that a Vauxhall Corsa does.

Macs are absolutly fantastic for some things, and PCs are better for others.
When I said I hated apple, what I should have said is that I hate things like the iPod, iPhone, iPad etc... I just think they are overpriced and crap for what they are, I will reserve judgment on the iPad until I actually use one.
The computers are fine, my mac mini gets used quite a lot, I use a PC more because I was not shelling out for a Macbook when I could buy a reasonable laptop for a lot less.
They still smell funny though

I honestly think that iPods are the best MP3 players you can buy ...
But the price difference between them and the next alternative may well be more than it needs to be.
And as someone who shelled out £400 for a PayG iPhone a year ago, I'm not going to complain about that. It is so much easier to use than any other smartphone (touch-screen or otherwise) I've seen though.

The iPhone is not technically a smartphone
as you cannot expand it's functionality without using proprietary technology owned by Apple. Whereas phones that support programming languages like Java and C++ can have their functionality expanded by anyone who cares to learn the language.

(I apologise in advance, this probably isn't worth a new thread)
this probably isn't worth a new thread)I was mindlessly Googling one day and I noticed that there's a new political party originally called "The New Party". (Not a very wise choice of name in my opinion it doesn't exactly tell us what they stand for and surely they'll have to change their name and therefore their stationery in a few years time when they are no longer 'new'?). Now I noticed something odd about their logo and I'm just curious whether it's just me or if you can spot it too.
It appears to be based on the Royal Air Force roundel no doubt to inspire some good old fashioned patriotism but instead of the outer blue circle it's the shape of five people reaching into the middle so it sort of looks like a community of people helping one another with the added bonus of also looking like a bit like a Tudor rose.
However the inner circle is still red as per the RAF logo so what we have is five pairs of hands reaching into the middle and pulling it outwards to reveal something red...
Like I said maybe it's just me.

Well then "we offer reality" has the same status as any other assertion
such as "I offer you a nice bit of stilton on a cracker". They could be wrong about the reality being reality, I could be wrong about the stilton being stilton, maybe it's roquefort or dolcelatte. Granted the whole of reality is much larger than a bit of cheese, but it's only a matter of scale, same difference.

Come off it, roquefort is gorgeous
although a bit overpriced, it's definitely nicer than stilton, because it tastes stronger without being as harsh. I'd have thought you'd pick on the dolcelatte, that's the one people usually sneer at for being sugary goop like a kind of cheesy nougat.

I find that Roquefort still has that metallic taste that is common to blue cheeses.
