I am under the belief that there is a conspiracy by Apple. They have a technology they call “AppleTalk” which helps the Macs find each other and network. I have two Macs in my living room. The day I got my new snazzy Intel iMac, my old venerable mac mini (about 7 months old at the time) started to crash more. It became sluggish.
I wondered why this was happening. My theory – AppleTalk is telling my older Mac to slow down. By slowing down the mac mini I would want a new Intel mac mini. This is my AppleTalk Conspiracy theory.
Do I have any real proof? Nah.
I then bought a MacBook Pro and my wife’s iBook was becoming glitchy some time after the MacBooks were released. Coincidence? Maybe.
Maybe Apple’s got a plan that’s a bit sinister. Then again, I like to speculate wildly sometimes.
** Update **
After reading the comments, I thought I should clear something up: I was only half-serious when I wrote this post.
I hope you are not serious when you are saying this. Very absurd.
If you want to have a proof, run ethereal and see if Apple is “telling” your mac mini to slow down.
Hey dude:
I beleive it is a kind of feeling you get when you start working with faster machines, the older ones seems to be slow.
I just received my new laptop from office and now I don’t work on my home PC, Guess Why, my home pc seems to be slow. That doesn’t mean my laptop is sending signals to my PC to slowdown over Wifi.
Any ways, your post was really funny, it cheered me up in the morning
have a gr8 day
I beleive conspiracy is part and parcel to any organization. But maybe we should be careful of using this to say something about an issue , a thing , and a person. It is such a very strong word to use especially if you have no proofs of you accusations.
