  Do videos buffer well on your Apple?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did some research and one website acknowledges that windows provides superior buffering of videos compared to that of apple computers.

  since i own both type computers, i have experienced this.

  even newer and, might i add, very expensive apple computers buffer videos poorly, so i have read.

  trillaz: there's a silverlight plugin for OS X (intel only)

  Compound: Don't take this the wrong way, but your computers are prettty old. Apple switched to Intel like 8 years. You may want to consider upgrading.

  Adobe does develop flash but it's not even installed on OS X out of the box. Apple doesn't really want it on your Mac :) Plus Apple doesn't really optimize its software for it. If it buffers weird in Safari, try Firefox or Chrome.

  I'm sure the spat Apple had with Adobe a while ago explains why Adobe might not really care too much about it either.

  I'm not a fan of sites like hotwire or priceline. For the super cheap prices, you have to roll the dice on what hotel you get. I would rather pay a few extra bucks and know what I'm getting. For giggles, I went to hotels.com and looked up the hotel for the same days. The JW rate was 50 bucks less per night.

  It's definitely a YMMV thing. For the last assembly, we booked online through hotels.com and the room was 5 bucks more than the WT rate.

  the short answer is that flash is crap so apple doesn't give a damn about it. If the video uses flash, it might be be weird. if it's using something like webm or h.264 like every sane website, you won't have issues.

  yup. we did our reservation this week. the convention letter sent to the congregations have the URL and login credentials for the congregation to get the right dates and hotels. Some of the hotels even have a link so you can do the reservations all online. it was pretty easy actually. i'm....impressed?

  we and our unbaptised children have now been cut off by our last jw family members.

  cowardly email at the bottom and my response just below.

  sorry it's rambling and probably not the best thing to send, but we are upset and angry.
