Hello???

a Macnn Podcast that I always update on my iPod (when I got the chance of course) It's about an interview with a guy that switch backwards from Mac to a PC. and he is explaining about how cool it was to do it and How Happy he is with the reverse switch, and on and on and on ...

Am I missing something here??? it is a MacNN Podcast! a MAC NN podcast. an Apple's Macintosh Podcast. why Macnn wants to give an advise us of switching to a PC?? whats happening to the world here? did you hear it? I just delete it right NOW.

You know, I can't find MacNN's podcasts on iTunes, and the page on NN has direct links. Isn't a podcast TECHNICALLY supposed to have an RSS feed? I can't find it.

Only if it is available from iTunes or some other source.

The podcast is in iTunes.

MacNN.com Weekly Podcast is the plain rss if you prefer it to using the iTunes link above.

I'm sorry you thought that interviewing a long-time Mac user who has now started using Windows was a bad idea. We did it on the basis that, while not a trend, it shows that for this person and a few others out there that both systems have matured enough that for the right applications there's precious little difference.

Yeah, I get it. but I wont switch because today both boxes got almost the same engine, and either because I use an application that runs better on a PC, for real, PCs are fast, cheap, and productive, but they came with a big gap somewhere, I use PCs at my work and Mac at my house for Business and Personal use, I got old Macs and new ones, maybe he was looking for a change, it was almost 20 years with a Mac and today PCs bring eye candy too, so maybe and just maybe was because of that, not to mention that he said and I quote "My wife is happy now" reason that is not valid for me. Anyhow... I turn on my Mac everyday and the first thing I do is check Macnn.com (I mean it) because I want to read how Apple is growing and how people is switching to the real deal, not to hear that today a lot of people are switching back to PCs! do you get my drift here? it is something that people like me (Mac Addict User and Enthusiastic kind of guy) want to read or hear... I want to see Macs bashing PCs... not the contrary.
and that is my opinion.
Thanx

There was no bashing in the 'cast, but you won't have to worry-

It's not a regular feature.

Wow, you are really a fanboi. I've only owned macs my whole life, my parents only bought them, so it's always been a part. But, it is not bad to have an interview like that, why does it hurt you so?

I thought it was an honest discussion about the pros and cons of owning the two different types of pc's. I switched to mac almost a year ago and I'm very happy but its just a computer. Why not hear about someone else's experience?

I loved at the end how he nervously pointed out that he wasn't a mac hater. As if he were expecting prank phone calls and death threats.
