That and the Apple OS. That's a big deal there. Because... Final Cut Pro. Admittedly it's a nice video editing suite, if you're an internet video reviewer that's gold right there. How else do you get the buffalo to poo through a window on cue?
No really it's a nice OS, and dang cheap without the ridiculous "tiers" of Windows (and DRM free, considering Apple makes most of it's money by designing it to only work on their expensive underpowered machines). Fortunately I can hackintosh it into my PC these days, though it's a complicated process. Why don't I? Eh, as nice as it is, I get everything I need out of Windows 7 at the moment, which is also a very nice OS. Just have yet to get to any tipping point that'd make me want to do it. It's the same reason that now that I have Libre Office, I see no motivation to pay hundreds for Microsoft Office, for what, a ribbon interface? I can set up spread sheets and type documents. What else do I need an office program for? "Presentations?" What a joke.
Of course Apple is currently doing extremely well in the "phone sized" market, soon to be supplanted when Apple powers up a Nano with 4G and sticks a wrist strap on it, totally destroying pocket phones forever. Pierce Brosnan will wear one while taking down a diabolical house of lords member planning on putting a 2 pound tax increase on... blood pudding or something (seriously modern James Bond villains suck).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
