At the one week point exactly, I can say the release of the Power Macintosh G5 video was a great success. Views in the first week were 50% more than my subscriber count, so I can't complain at all. Comments always come in heavy after a video release, but this one was a lot more.
Comments are nearly all positive, but human nature is to focus on the few negative comments. Most negative comments I predicted... A Windows guy mentions PAE allowed more than 4GB on 32-bit system. But I'm talking Personal Computers not Servers. Another one of them claiming Apple always takes credit for 7 year old ideas. Maybe he's also confusing 64-bit workstations and 64-bit personal computers? And despite getting several messages to the contrary, there's always, "You really are doing yourself a disservice by continuing with this camera. I'm all for continuing to use things for as long as possible, but... I think it's time..."
I also got educated on a few things. Those OSX first boot music tracks are all published music! I thought they were something Apple hired someone to whip-up. Now I can groove to the whole song, Sofa Rockers by Sofa Surfers.
Sadly, I confirmed a report that the Poland Apple museum closed three weeks ago. That was a major disappointment.
When I was talking about recent keynote presentations at the 10 minute mark, some thought I was implying that gender diversity ruined the keynotes. I was actually making fun of Apple. They are showing how inclusive they are by featuring ONLY female developers in their Mac Studio video? That's the opposite of inclusion and diversity, Apple! I just posted a clarification on YouTube and there are some ... varied opinions, but level-headed consensus was to add a pinned clarification, so I did that.
One confirmed mistake so far ... You did not need the expensive adapter for the ADC port to DVI monitor connection. It was the other way! Damn! May do some surgery on the YouTube video to remove that bit of bad information.
The Blade Runner parody went over well. At least I didn't have to awkwardly explain to anyone why I was wearing a bathrobe and my big 1988 glasses, talking to a G5. I would have had Alexander Brandon to do the voices for that segment, but it didn't happen due to missed communication. In addition to being a great composer, he also does voice-over work, for example, JobBot in Job Simulator, the VR game.
Anyway, still answering the comments...
