also have to look at the fact that he has just about every Macromedia software ( Photoshop/Dreamweaver/ect ) that he could have bought a mac outright

id say he pirated every piece of software on the system, Including OSX

*Edit* i find it hilarious that his Sig is filled with Mac icons INCLUDING a Mac Pro

Question: why do you care so damn much? Why don't you just let people get on with what they want to do without hassling them all the time?

I swear I've asked for these before, but which Finder, Safari, Mail, Bin and Stack icons are those?

I think you have LOL

Finder - Is from the resources files of the application called Process

Safari - Globes by IconDrawer: HERE

Mail - Air Mail

Bin - Not sure where I got it from but send me a PM with your email addy and I will send it over to you.

Stack Icons - The open source project called Aquave

The new rules for the thread are below. If you have a question, please confer with a moderator here on Neowin.

Mac Desktops

Posting Guidelines:

  • If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 100k (It's recommended that you link it, externally).
  • Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.
  • If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.
  • Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.
  • The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.
  • The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Ruleset.
  • In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:
  • GuiKit: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
  • Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
  • Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
  • Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Remember, any slight deviation of posts in this thread not regarding desktops will be removed on sight - this thread is for Mac Desktops only.

Neowin recommends a home grown program, Neoshooter for taking screenshots.

Bring out that Apple eye candy and have fun!

-edit As of 06/02/2008 members may post their desktops if they are running OSX on non-apple hardware as long as they are following our rules and not promoting warez of any sort or showing files on their desktop that may be taken as warez. You will be warned in these cases.

Thats the whole point, it isn't. OSX on Apple hardware works OTB. OSX on non-Apple hardware doesn't and needs hacking to make it work. NW will just get filled up with thread upon thread of users complaining that OSX doesn't work properly on their self-built malarkey, when it was never meant to be in the first place.

Fred Derf nailed it in a post in the OS X on non-Apple Hardware thread:

Neowin is a computer enthusiast community. Many of our members would like to run Hackintosh systems just for bragging rights. It isn't that different from our members who overclock their hardware. An overclocked Hackintosh box with integrated fish tank may be the ultimate geek experience. When it comes right down to it, we are here to serve our members. We are here to provide them with what they want.

Loyal Macintosh fans need not worry. Anyone who wants a production OS/X computer should be purchasing a real Macintosh computer.

You're only feeding the stereotype of the elitist Mac user with your behaviour. Are you sure that's a good thing?

How they can approve discussion of something which is known to be agaisnt a company policy is beyond me.

Because we don't care about another company's policy when it has no legal repercussions? Because there are OSX86 threads on Apple's own forums?

We approve discussion on hacking Windows, which is against Microsoft's policy.

Come on people, we don't work for Apple, we aren't owned by Apple. It isn't illegal, so we're going to allow it.

This discussion doesn't belong here anyway, it belongs in the OS X on non-Apple Hardware Discussion thread.

*****Off Topic*****

I've had a few messages pop up over the last couple of days since OSx86 has been allowed about the system stats in my sig when I post in this forum... This is NOT an OSx86 box (not the I'm downing anyone who does have one)... This is a genuine Mac Pro.

PC's aren't the only ones that can have great/beefy hardware configurations. ;)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
