How about a little explanation and a thread title that gives me some info on what I'll find in here?

[Feuer Frei!]

Couldn't resist, after reading that!

Nice article.

Anyone tired of having the iPad crammed down their throats yet?

Well, you've no one to blame but yourself. I told you that painting "Bite Me Fanboys" on your @$$ and mooning the crowd in front of the Apple store was a bad idea, but would you listen?

Did I? Jeez, maybe I better lay off the coffee.

Hmmm...I think I need to clean up the title...I posted that from my phone, and didn't notice how it was screwed up

It would seem I can't edit the title, which is what needs fixing.

Why the Mac-hate?

I'm typing this on an iMac and it runs SH5 fairly well despite having only a 250MB graphics card and 1GB of RAM, and it does it under Vista.

True, my Mac is not easy to upgrade, and it's completely impossible to take apart, but it f'n works! Plus, it looks really cool. How many PC's have the tower built into the one-inch thick monitor? How many PC's allow you to restore everything when Vista inevitably suffers an irreversible motherboard fault? I've had to replace two PCs because of motherboard faults, but no matter how much Windows screws everything up, I can always recover using Time Machine.

I have only a basic understanding of software, and an even more rudimentary understanding of hardware, but I cannot disagree with the fact that Macs work. This machine does everything that my PCs failed to do, and it does it twice; once in Leopard, and again in Vista.

If you don't like Macs, that's fine. I could not care less. Take your technical complaints to Microsoft, and I'm sure they'll develop a system so superior that nobody will ever buy a Mac again. That's what monopolies do, right? Or perhaps they'll just try to quash Mac with marketing. It's anybody's guess, isn't it?

1. Go to 'Comments To Subsim Review'
2. Get on your knees
3. Beg a moderator to fix it, since only they can touch thread titles
4. Watch the magic juju happen

I see the Ipad's make good cat toys

I can fix it, just write what you want the rename to be.

Lots and lots of reasons. The mac attack adverts which are full of lies and bs is a good start.

So would any PC laptop with similar specs and for close to half the price of a iMac

I have to say I don't like the design of most macs (especially laptops), and I sure as heck would not want my pc in the monitor. Mac is all about gimmicks, marketing, lies, and overpricing everything they sell and gouging their customers in every conceivable way.

How many PC's allow you to restore everything when Vista inevitably suffers an irreversible motherboard fault? I've had to replace two PCs because of motherboard faults, but no matter how much Windows screws everything up, I can always recover using Time Machine.

Any PC with half decent backup software can do that. I can take my complete windows install on my laptop, and throw it on my server and have it running in 30 minutes, with games and everything. Just would need to change a few drivers. Also I seriously doubt that mac would recover from a switched motherboard from within the os unless the motherboard was identical to the first one, as that is something which can prevent the os from even starting at all.

I have only a basic understanding of software, and an even more rudimentary understanding of hardware, but I cannot disagree with the fact that Macs work. This machine does everything that my PCs failed to do, and it does it twice; once in Leopard, and again in Vista.

What exactly can your mac do that a pc can't? I can't think of a single example (other then maybe run os X, but mac can keep it as far as I care, besides there are ways of running os X on pc). They use the same hardware now, but that mac costs much more, isn't expandable or upgradable to any real degree, has a fixed life span where it will be obsoleted in a few years or less, and force you to upgrade. They are in fact much less secure than pc, just no one gives a damn about hacking them as they only represent 5% of computers. Macs are in no way superior to PCs if you really look at it, yet they are trying their damnedest to prove otherwise through blatant manipulative advertising.

If you don't like Macs, that's fine. I could not care less. Take your technical complaints to Microsoft, and I'm sure they'll develop a system so superior that nobody will ever buy a Mac again. That's what monopolies do, right? Or perhaps they'll just try to quash Mac with marketing. It's anybody's guess, isn't it?

Why when I have plenty I can level directly against Apple. As for marketing, Apple is the people who are marketing the hell out of everything, they may not have market-share majority in the computer industry, but they sure as heck have it in mp3 players, cellphones, etc. I think the number 2 reason why Macs and iCrap are so expensive is to pay for the massive amounts of advertising they do (number 1 is its from Apple, and you pay cause its from Apple).


Number 1 reason why I have a strong dislike of Apple, I do not like companies trying to manipulate me into buying junk I don't need and then obsoleting the thing so I have to buy it again. I don't like adverts that try to sell their product using the "cool" factor, and I especialy hate hypocrisy which Apple is full of.
