Sure I love eating sushi and your right I'd have to be bat-shit crazy to be munching on bowling balls.

Who said we were talking about eating? Maybe I wanted to go bowling with the sushi. Maybe I was talking about playing guitar or any other random topic.

That's the point. You're bringing up a multimedia interface and comparing it to something entirely different that wasn't even in the conversation to begin with. Comparisons make no sense in this case.

 

Ok sorry for the delay rocketpig after my last post I left work. >.>

Look OSX and XMB share one thing in common, they are interfaces that allow easy access to apps (GUI). By that standard I have just as much right to compare the two, though as I've said many, many times already I'm comparing them based on my experiences.

As far as your retwisting the analogy, your actually proving my point from a previos post about apples and oranges before. You should really take your own wisdom for advice on this one.

 

The problem is that they are not comparable.  OSX is a mouse based GUI that, like most computer screen GUIs, is designed to allow the user to organize a wide variety of applications and documents in any way they see fit while keeping a consistant mouse based control scheme through all the menus and applications.  XMB is designed to allow users to access a much more narrow range of applications and options.  In that function, it can narrow the menus more focused options.  If XMB had to organize hundreds of documents along with several running applications it would quickly show that is not what it is designed for.  Similarly, OSX would not work as well with a controller as it does with a mouse.  So, to say that one is better than the other makes little sense since they are designed for different purposes with different demands.

I give that post a 9.3.
