Why does everyone keep posting #moonfruit ? I noticed it a few days ago but I guess I missed something
-
@dantheman Grassroots propaganda for http://www.moonfruit.com/ I guess?
-
@dantheman It's a viral marketing campaign from a website building company
-
@dantheman See wikipedia: In June 2009 Moonfruit began a promotional campaign using the viral power of twitter's trending topics
-
@jwildeboer Seems like it. Thanks for the information. I just wondered why I was seeing the tag all over the place. Doh!
-
@dantheman This is why - http://tr.im/qXgX
-
@jwildeboer @dazfuller Looks like a knock off of Dreamweaver to me, which I haven't used since 2004(ish) meh :)
-
@jackieplage Just saw that thanks. I can now see why the tag is popping up everywhere. Clever campaign but could get annoying quickly
-
@dantheman Yeah, good job it's only for 7 days. And if lots of companies start doing this...ah well that's crappy twitter for you. :)
-
@dantheman @jackieplage: You might argue that marketing is apples only real skill. Well I just did anyway :)
-
@silner It's Steve Jobs only real skill at least ;)
-
@jackieplage @dantheman Meh. Who wants a MacBook? They can stick their non-replaceable battery where the sun don't shine!
-
@fabsh @jackieplage @dantheman: The batterys non-replaceable? thats outrageous. Rip off Rip off!
-
@fabsh Since when was it non-replaceable? :O And I wouldn't pay for one, but I'd take it for free :D
-
@silner No idea, I've never used one. You probably have to take it back to the Apple store and pay a lot of money to get it fixed
-
@jackieplage All the new MacBooks have non user-replaceable batteries.
-
@fabsh Ah, yeah, knew about that. Thought you meant it couldn't be replaced at all. LOL
-
@silner they didn't used to be so. that started w/ t/ imacs 1st gen
-
@jackieplage Well, as far as I am concerned it cannot be replaced if I can't do it.
-
@fabsh You could sell it :P would you ever say no to anything you can sell and get money for?
-
@silner "desktop" boxen are still DIY, but i dunno now... i work with older stuff (pre-2000)
-
@fabsh It'll have been mono audio then. I also had it up really high.
-
@fabsh the batteries can be replaced if you strip the entire laptop down, but theres just no access to it from the outside.
-
@dandart The podcast is always in mono. I really did not hear the problem you describe.
-
@bionicgeekgrrl Oh, great. That is crap as well. And as always with Apple I suspect they do it for the money, whatever they say.
-
@fabsh Ahh.. I'll have to double check.. I /do/ need a better sound card...
-
@fabsh the batteries are apparently a lot longer lasting however, so the need to replace the battery is apparently lessened by a great deal
-
@fabsh wrt apple and batteries - when was the last time you actually did buy a new battery for either laptop or phone? ;-)
-
@jwildeboer Phone: never, that's why I am OK with the iPhone. Laptop: for EVERY SINGLE laptop I have ever owned (four in total).
-
@bionicgeekgrrl I don't believe that. Whenever manufacturers talk about battery lifetime, they lie. Every single time.
-
@fabsh: i think their resoning is, that cos theres no access, the battery can be bigger, etc or something along those lines
-
@bionicgeekgrrl That's what they say. I think their real reasoning is squeezing money out of people. Apple is really good at that.
