Maybe you can, but I can’t find it in the Apple Store.

That if you have a Mac without a superdrive, you can’t just buy the superdrive (and iDVD) as an upgrade. At least until Intel/Microsoft invokes the DMCA. The performance and restrictions aren’t worth it. To say otherwise is to be a Jobs or Gates peon.īut do as you wish it’s my policy to stop advocating Mac notebooks, on the basis of lockin and the fact that Apple will take a while to switch to IBM or Intel/AMD. It’s not an easy world…” If you do business, you get outraged when a supplier changes terms on you for the worse, especially when it was part of the reason you went with him. Tell me that Apple won’t throw a fit if Motorola one day said, “We need to jack up the price of the processor by $5. Had Apple erected a purely legal method to stop me from using my own IDE-compatible machine as I saw fit, I would have been hindered.Īpple charges for something they should have charged for all along, something that was costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and people throw a fit. (My other mac was occupied.) I burnt it using Disc Copy, so it worked nice.

I needed my sysadmin to transplant a CD-R from a PC to my G4, so I could make a beautiful install CD. Today, I was in a very humorous situation. However, the RIAA argues that Apple needs to stop supporting piracy, or it will go broke.

You argue that Apple needs to do this with iDVD, or it will go broke.

However, someone wrote a patch for interop. Jason, you seem to have a misconception of the situation.

#OLD IDVD THEMES UPDATE#

(Thats right people were selling DVD Burners with iDVD update disks and a patch to hack iDVD to work with them)

#OLD IDVD THEMES MODS#

This is perfectly ethical, and legal, and although I wish Apple could have found a way to stop these companies from selling these mods without invoking the DMCA, I perfectly understand the reasoning in doing so. This is the same situation as iDVD and DVD Studio Pro. Sony obviously can’t afford to give that software away because people with Olympus cameras would download it and rob them of the profits, but by the same token they couldn’t sell a camera without software to pull the pictures from it. This version of this software only works with my sony camera, however I can buy a more feature rich version that works with any model sony camera + some others. The same concept applies to PC add in cards etc… For example, I purchased a Sony digital camera and it comes with some sort of pictureMaker software that sony makes. This way apple can afford to develop this great piece of software. Apple loses money on iDVD (paying people to develop it) but they recoup that money through sales of superdrives because no-one can use iDVD without buying a superdrive. iDVD is what marketing folks call a “loss leader”. If you couldn’t burn DVD’s what would be the point in buying a superdrive. See Apple wants jack and jane consumer to be able to burn DVD’s with their super drive equipped macs. However, Apple is not taking advantage of the large loop holes in the DMCA, it is using it in the *SPIRIT* in which it was intended. The DMCA has earned its rightfully deserved evil reputation. Sure, it is always bad PR for a company to associate themselves in anyway with the DMCA. If cars could be hacked and pirated easily, I bet the automotive industry would sink like a stone. Next, people will be asking Apple to stop charging for the OS entirely! “After all, I paid a bunch of money for my Mac! Why should I have to buy expensive OS upgrades later when I could use Linux for free?”

Mac thing: Apple charges for something they should have charged for all along, something that was costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars, and people throw a fit. The only PR problem here is with a bunch of whiners who like to play armchair CEO and think the world should revolve around them.

Good Business = create products or services, make moneyīad business = create products for free that can be used with other products robbing business of important revenue If Creative made a free audio jukebox that only worked with Creative hardware, would that be a problem? Oh wait, that already exists. Hypothetical question: if Sony created a video editor for their VAIO computers that only worked with Sony video cameras, would that be a problem? Not for me.
