Hey Lanux, how did you get your Steam friend's list to look like Firefox?

Well...it's good marketing strategy at any rate. Playing suck-up to the Appleistas (by way of a token nod to the Mac's innate superiority and some low key Windows bashing) is almost a requirement if your product is cross-platform and you want to sell it to that crowd.

Gotta be some logical reason why Mac users often pay more and have to put up with so much nonsense, right?

 

-40hz (May 14, 2011, 07:59 AM)

yup, what Apple has is a very exquisite salesmanship skills. something that makes their customers go "Ooh La La" every time they're throwing their money at Apple..

Seems pretty stable on my system - the only time I have probs is if I accidentally press the windows key.

-Carol Haynes (May 14, 2011, 06:59 AM)

the windows key problem can be easily fixed. use something like WinKey Killer, the original website is no more but the program can be found here.

Lanux what's your name on Steam - I don't seem to have received an invite or have you listed?

-Carol Haynes (May 14, 2011, 06:59 AM)

no worries, you've already added me, this is me..

General Software Discussion / Re: Software recommendations for writers

« Last post by lanux128 on May 14, 2011, 12:44 AM »

there is an anti-distraction tool by the author of yWriter called AntiBrowser, which would come in handy.

What is AntiBrowser for? Anyone with a deadline and a web addiction!

You know the story. You're busy working on your novel and you decide to 'just check' something on the web. Two hours later you're sated with trivial news and your FaceSpace/MyBook/Twotter (sic) is fully up to date. Shame about the novel.

In the past I've resorted to pulling the network cable out of my PC, but that messes up my network shares and backups. So, I decided to write the Anti-Browser. It took me about twenty minutes to develop, time I should have spent on the novel ...

but.. but.. Gabe claims that "Mac is 5 times more stable than windows running games".

-lanux128 (May 13, 2011, 08:57 PM)

That could be because there is less diverse Mac hardware supported/available.

-Deozaan (May 13, 2011, 11:20 PM)

well, the lack of diversity in Mac hardware is obviously obvious and big Gabe is milking it all he can by being sensational.. basically Valve/Steam have identified a big void in Mac gaming and are trying to fill it with their "cross-platform" games.
