It seems like the nanoBundle was a half-hearted attempt to tide us over, and the community seems to be slowing dramatically. The Directorate is busy with their individual projects, and I have a feeling that the long awaited MH4 might never actually happen. Thoughts?

Not sure how many people will gets that due to age/geography.


However, I got it and found it funny smile

As for the whole ADA thing, I can't say for sure but I'm pretty certain that app developers don't make their apps solely for the chance they might, at some point, win an award for it. Apple are really pushing the "well the iPad is the middle ground between a laptop and a phone" and "with the iPad you can do whatever you could want to do, AND it's more convenient than a laptop" so it makes sense for them to be reducing the amount of awards and focussing on the iOS series.

After all, if Apple were really snubbing the Mac range, would they have just launched the new series of MBP and iMac with the i* (side note: does anyone else thing that those processors were named with Apple in mind?) processors? Similarly, they will have a business plan that is years ahead (probably) so why would they develop Snow Leopard if their goal is to discontinue the Mac range?

Bah!  I wouldn't want to be a mod unless there was an attractive sign on bonus with benefits.  Even then what kind of fun would it be rolling my eyes everytime Warbrain opens his mouth. Then I'd just get fired and have to start making passive aggressive remarks about ridiculous stuff.  Yeah, that sounds like fun. wink

I'd be careful about what everybody reads here though as I've heard that the Directorate have been in hiding learning the ways of how to master the power of Reality Distortion Fields.  At least I know that these aren't the droids I'm looking for.

Yes, it's random babble...having a moment...rather the meds kicking in. wink

I for one am happy with the amount of mods there are.
As for MH dying, the community is very large and with only minor scuffles (such as this) is well mannered and generally helpful.

Is it important we have a MH4? No probably not, I lived fine before MH and I will live after it.

Would I like a MH4? Absolutely, the crashing of servers, the puzzles, the teams that develop and race to solve those puzzles. Its fun on a level that is not found on the internet anywhere else.

/me waits for the inevitable flaming he'll get for supposedly sucking up.

Truth is I just hope MH4 happens.

I think the real problem is that drtaru can't afford anyone else a mac right now either... such as, say... me... or warbrain... or awakebyjava...

Ya know, by my math, if you saved up a quarter per day since the time you joined MacHeist, you could've had a Mac by now. This is just totally sad at this point, so I'm gonna start doing this for you. You're now officially $0.25 closer to a used first gen Mac mini. Congrats!
