Yeah, but I never ever launch Chess. On the other hand, I installed Sol Free on my iPhone as soon as I found it. So far, I've spent 27+ hours on Klondike Deal 1 alone.
I regret nothing.
Nobel peace prize. This is ground-breaking research. Well done. Have you submitted your data to NCBI yet? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/
Eric, when the strike team comes to your house, it's best to let them take away your Mac and your iPhone without a fight. I've notified Redmond that their long-lost red-headed step child has been found.
I think you forgot the key data point of "Mom's Basement". Otherwise your research looks solid.
Solitaire. Proceed.
Nacho keyboard is a terrible thing
Windows users hear "Space Man", Mac users hear "Spa-che-men".
Science at its best.
No wonder Mac users are so much more productive.
I would propose that the level of productivity of the platform user is inversely proportional to the number of games which the platform supports. Therefore, Linux wins!
Jacob Neilsen has an opinion about that, but you have to pay for it and look at his shiny head when he tells you what it is, and it turns out to be obvious, and then I want my money back, but he won't give it to me, so then I complain to Tog, and he doesn't care, so then I try installing Linux, and I get Wumpus instead. That's your fault Stallman.
Windows 7 comes with chess.
@Eric Meyer: Steve Jobs doesn't make products for the customers he has, he makes products for the customers he wishes he had.
And we buy them for kinda the same reason.
Chess is M(ac)y favorite.
Windows comes with Chess.
> "Windows comes with Chess"
The user open it and says, "This isn't solitaire!".
I've never understood that Chess game. I keep trying to jump my opponents pieces, but it never works. And it never lets me King when I get to the other side.
minesweeper ftw
World of Goo.
Windows, Mac, Linux.
Let’s just get along.
Haha @ "Windows 7 comes with Chess". Yep, Pogue covered this in a video showing how "Vista didn't copy Leopard at all"...
Yeah, Apple invented chess.
Where's the Cheese?
I take offense at the postulation that mouth breathers are automatically Neanderthals. It's a function of your anatomy, and not one of your intellect. Yes, I'm a mouth breather, and yes, I play Chess on the Mac.
If you: A) aren't retarded; and B) know how to play chess, you can only play the OSX chess once. It's terrible
@seth: thanks. Exactly.
My C64 had a better chess including both mouse... eh joystick and keyboard use. Seriously.
And the Mac chess definitely feels slower.
alchin for the win!
The included app isn't a reflection on YOU, it's a reflection on what your OS vender thinks of you.
One can choose another route to take for comparison of user intellect:
Windows: MS Word and Excel
Mac: Final Cut Pro
Simo checks Games folder on Windows 7
oh look I have Chess too. And I also have...
- Left4Dead
- HalfLife 2
- Bio-Shock
- GTA IV
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6
- Battlefield 2
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
> One can choose another route to take for comparison of user intellect...
Jamie you're absolutely right. Only the dimwitted would choose MS Word and Excel over Pages and Numbers.
Cool Simo. I have many of those games on my Mac too.
And in the 80s & 90s Minesweeper vs Slide Puzzle.
Not sure what this means, though.
Flame on.
Also, this post is inaccurate.
Windows: Thousands of hardware options ranging from inexpensive to very expensive.
Mac: Like three, and they're all overpriced.
@Eric Meyer
I'm just happy to know that I'm not the only one who's been addicted to Klondike Deal 1 on the iPhone... -.-
My record: 1:51 :p
