Well, you'd never use iOS on a Mac anyways, since iOS doesn't run on Macs (except in the emulator as part of the iOS SDK).

It is all about what you need. I'd get a Dell and run Ubuntu on it if I wasn't relying on certain Mac OS X software. Oh wait, I have a Dell running Ubuntu that I use a lot, in addition to my MacBook Pro.

The problem is you don't specify your needs at all, there is no best computer. I love my MacBook Pro and I love my Dell. And I'd happily recommend either of them to you, or several other machines - depending on your needs. So, what do you need?
[Off-topic] Velorium:
I'd advise against getting a Dell Inspiron. There's a design flaw in the hinge where the case starts to spread apart; my girlfriend, mother, and roommate all have the problem and it started just after a year of owning their laptops. If you're already looking at Lenovo and you really can "get pretty much whatever you want" I'd suggest looking at a ThinkPad, the build quality is much better than the IdeaPads.

Have you ever actually USED OS X? Like I said, a computer is a tool. OS X provides the core foundation to do things Windows users can only dream of. Want me to blow your mind? I can show you videowall and blended projector setups running all in software (plus some Matrox TripleHead2Go's) doing things that required thousands of dollars worth of video processing hardware five years ago.

Granted, that's a rare application, but the same benefits apply to lower-level programs too. Mac OS has had true, full system-wide color management since the first OS X release. Windows? Their new, much-touted color management is about on the same level as Mac OS 9 was - 11 years ago.

Apple has done a great job providing creative professionals with an amazing platform. Sadly, it seems like they're abandoning us in favor of the content consumers and iOS. We shall see. But for right now, it's the best thing out there for the needs of many creative professionals.

Have you ever actually USED Windows 7? Like I said, a computer is a tool. Windows 7 provides the core foundation to do things Mac users can only dream of. Want me to blow your mind? I can show you 16xAA and 4xAF graphics on SIX monitors (plus some sick DirectX 11 tessellation) doing things that required thousands of dollars worth of Mac hardware five months ago.

Granted, that's a common application, but the same benefits apply to lower-level programs too. Windows 7 has true 3d games since its release. Mac? Their new, much-touted app store is probably 4 to 5 years behind.

Microsoft/AMD/ATI/NVidia/Intel has done a great job providing gamers with an amazing platform. Sadly, it seems like they're abandoning us in favor of the content consumers and consoles. We shall see. But for right now, it's the best thing out there for the needs of many gamers.

FTFY.
[Off-topic] Mark Uhde:
Um, not sure if it was your intent, but you only proved my point. Different uses need different tools. We've got Windows 7 sitting and running up at the church on two machines that have replaced our sound boards (both front of house and monitor mix) and much of our effects and processing gear. Software Audio Console by RML Labs. Great product, and runs fantastically well on Windows 7. The developer is a bit of a nut, and he himself is always complaining about what Microsoft does poorly in Windows (especially in regards to memory management, which he notes is tuned more towards most processing power, not lowest latency like one desires in a live audio application). Regardless, he's managed to get Windows down to a few milliseconds of latency, and he has the whole setup working very, very well.

So, you proved my point. Windows 7 is a great gaming OS. I never said it wasn't :) There's a lot more to this world than games, but if games are what you want, the Windows 7 is where it's at - though OS X is catching up. It's definitely had "true 3D" since release. Right now the two big issues are drivers that aren't really tweak-able - and tuned more towards rendering accuracy than performance; and the actual support of developers (though both have improved a lot in the last year).
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
I'm just trying to say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever platform that you use, as long as you are happy with it. I will not begrudge you if you decide to buy a Mac for legitimate reasons (graphics editing, etc.), but a Windows PC for me is a much better deal. Maybe its because I've grown up around Windows, so I'll never get the "need" for an overpriced and underspec'd computer.

And, yes, my PC is kinda heavily modified :)

Glad we could find a middle ground

Get a Macbook Pro, At least you wouldn't be getting those annoying updates and useless Norton Anti-virus notification. I been a pc user for more than 10 years and Os X is really not bad like people make it out to be. :D
[Off-topic] Mark Uhde:
I think if you'd shop it, you'd find Macs aren't bad for what you're getting, price wise. There are things that have value people don't mention. Things like the glass screen on laptops (hard to damage and easy to clean - sadly, also REALLY bad glare) and the large full-multitouch glass trackpad... it's a joy to use, easy and fast.

As for the desktops, Mac Pros are crazy pricey at first glance. But when you look closer, they're using server (Xeon) processors and server-grade components. Which makes almost no difference in performance, but it does legitimately add a fortune to the cost. Apple needs a true desktop machine. But if you compare it to other machines using the same components, pricing is similar or better.

The big thing is that Apple has no low-end, cheap-built, high-performance machines. Their machines are all made THEIR WAY. No choices. 1984 style, even. I do not like that, but when looked at in the broader market, it's not so bad - Macs are one of many choices to find the best tool for each job. Windows is also one of many choices. I spend much of my time on a Dell in Linux :D

BTW, I wasn't even talking graphics editing. Though the color management engine makes Macs great for that. Next time you go to a concert and see walls of video screens behind the stage and stuff like that, and you assume there's a ton of fancy video gear, there might not be. The software exists, on Mac OS X, to do that all in software today. And the software exists, on Windows, to mix sound all in software, today. And the results, in both cases, are as good as traditional hardware solutions.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zeoran:
I have a Tilt 2, had it since last March. I've had to have it replaced twice already due to the USB jack getting to the point where it no longer functions except to charge, it won't connect via cable to the pc, nor will it work with the multi-function adapter provided at purchase by HTC.

Is it dangerous/wrong to use after-market chargers/adapters/standard usb cables with the phone??? Am I damaging the usb port by using car chargers/wall chargers, etc that I got from ebay, or is this just a matter of bad design?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cybah:
It isn't. It looks different, but its not. I believe its ONLY notched like that because not only is that port a USB port, but it also has a few extra 'wires' for connecting a headset to it. (via the HTC adapter)

Of course, the corporate answer is.. Yes using a non HTC Power Adapter could damage your TP2. But unofficially, I doubt it.

I've stopped buying over priced chargers for my phones and will by any Mini-USB charge that I can find. Most will work. The voltage does not matter anymore since USB is a set standard, and any modification to the voltage would not comply to the USB standard, and it wouldn't be USB then.

I've had the same issue with my TP2 (and with the HTC Wing I had before). Check the power adapters itself. I have a RAZR charger I've been using for years, and I think the plug itself has just about had it.

Also take some canned air to the USB port on the phone (while it is powered off and battery removed) and try to remove debris from the USB port. The minuscule little piece of dust could cause a bad connection. Electronic cleaner works better at this. (its LIKE canned air but contains alcohol-based cleaner in the "air". It's available at Radio Shack.) This fixed the problem I was having with my Wing.

And finally, it may just be time for a new phone. The ports just plain wear out from daily plugging and unplugging that adapter in. One slight bend and the port is all out of alignment.. (does it wiggle instead of being a firm connection when you plug in the charger?)

This is why I am waiting for the day these induction charges are standard in phones.. No more power adapters!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] yellowsnowball:
I just use a normal USB plug for mine. I don't even fool with the one it came with so I don't get that one confuse with something else. They only notched it like that to make a buck, I would guess. ;)

If you are trying to use Mini USB headphone, only the ones made by HTC will work as it has 11 pins. Standard Mini USB has only 5 pins.
[Nook Color General] Link3737:
Last night I turned off my NookColor via Nookie Froyo, and since then I've been unable to get the device to turn back on.

When I plug it into the charger it appears to be charging, but doesn't boot like normal. (It was fully charged when I powered off, so I don't think it's out of battery)

When I hold the power button, nothing happens (Even for extended periods of time).

I've tried various key combinations, but it's seeming more likely that the thing has been completely bricked.

Any tips or advice?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Most likely it discharged on you, they have a habit of waking up and draining at the nominal rate of 8-10%/hr. I've found mine dead or nearly dead about 3 times because of this.

It'll take about 15 minutes for it to come on after being on the charger if the battery is flat dead. So... is it working for you now?

It's not bricked.
[Nook Color General] franklicd:
I really hope you didn't replace your internal memory with that Ad 2.2 rom.

2 ways you may can find your nook back ( at least 1 of the 2 ways will work ):

1, hold the power button at least 40 seconds or longer, until you can see it restart. If this didn't work;

2, Burn a boot-able SD card with CWR, and recover your internal memory to stock rom.

Those are normal things what I did when the bad thing happened.
[Nook Color General] Link3737:
My first instinct was to let it sit for a few hours, then try and recharge it, but after having it on the charger for about 30 minutes now it's not seeming to respond.

Normally when it's died, I plug it back in and get the "Battery too low, wait 15 minutes" screen, but like I said, the device is just staying off.

I've done #1 a few times now (Thinking that I could hard reset it, if that were the problem)

As for #2, I can't boot from an SD because the device won't power on! I'm running Nookie Froyo in a dual-boot state with the stock 1.1.0 rom in eMMC. I'm not quite sure what the "Ad 2.2 rom" is, though.

And thanks for both of your responses :)
[Nook Color General] franklicd:
Ad 2.2 = Android 2.2 :)

If you do this : burn the SD like I mentioned, put that into your nook, plug in the power cable, and just hold the power button . It SHOULD turn on in 10-15 seconds.

I use this way many times to save my brick nook, so believe me it is worth to try.
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Were you running froyo off emmc? If so:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931720

I recommend flashing this ROM instead though (pre-rooted 1.1):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932145

And yes if you insert the CWR sdcard into the nook and hold the power button, it will power on. The reason it isnt powering on currently is because your froyo boot partition is corrupted, not because of the nook itself. The CWR sdcard has a different boot partition that your nook will see and boot to when you hold the power button down with the CWR sdcard in.
[Nook Color General] Link3737:

[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
They are all there in supercurio's thread. Take three seconds to find it instead of asking to be spoon fed. Additionally, the kernel is for TESTING purposes. If you don't even know how to Odin a kernel or find a tar format kernel then you shouldn't be flashing test kernels. Learn how to take care of yourself or don't flash test kernels.

NFX-Shift.Deodex.STOCK.V.2.0

NFX-Shift.Odex.STOCK.V.2.0

This will not wipe your data, ALthough always best to start fresh!

- [Kernel] [GPL] Sense 2.6.32.21 OC/UV 1.51GHZ (CFS-Smartass-TUN) Thanks to bcnice20

- Default CPU clock will be 1.0ghz with ondemand , changable thru setcpu or if you want to edit the kernel directly. I have never been a fan of the overclocking apps as once the system is boot they need to wait for the SU to grant permissions for the settings. this way it is from boot.

Remove the script below to use setcpu

If you would like to change the defaults in the kernel just look in system/etc/init.d/ 80screenstate_scaling

echo 245760 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

echo 1209600 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

System Currently boot at 1.2 ghz with the script. if you have issues with this speed remove the sript and reboot. This will allow for the settings in the kernel to boot at 1ghz.

- Unlocked 3G USB tethering & Sprint Hotspot - no need for any other apks aka wired or wireless tether

- Read ahead fixed to 256k for the SDcard (speed fix) - should increase the read times from sdcard

- 5meg limit on the mms

- Tweaks for the system to increase overall performance

- 4 in 1 menu w/hibernation (photo at bottom of post)

- Fixed 1x / 3g to be accurate

- zip align apps installed on data automatically
