yes, folks. on january 24th, apple introduced the macintosh. lately, i've been marvelling at how apple is always behind everything cutting-edge. very few people know how instrumental apple is. most people are already familiar with the obvious achievements like the G5, the iPod, the iTunes Music Store, and many other innovative apple computers and products. but did you know that apple partially owns FireWire? and i'm sure everyone's familiar with Pixar, but how many know that steve jobs, co-founder/CEO apple, was co-founder of Pixer also? yeah. and if you look at the end of the credits for the Lord of the Rings movies, which had the best CG that i have ever seen, there's an apple and a blurb that says "Rendered with Pixar's RenderMan." if you see something totally new and innovative and amazing, there's a big possibility that apple is somewhere behind it. and now their greatest innovation is 20 years old. everyone, no matter what his os, should at least respect the mac. heck, if it hadn't been for the macintosh, we'd still be using commodores. :c)
