I'm A Mac

[Cthulhu]

One side of me says Alex is just trolling, the other one wants to explain something.

Apple's practices are worse. They've got the worst kind of vendor lock-in and stuff - buy a Mac, get Mac OS. Want Mac OS? You buy a Mac - even though it's proven by companies like Psystar that are entangled in lawsuits that it's quite possible to have Mac run on a 'regular' PC.

Microsoft, on the other hand, supports a wide range of (x86 / x64) computer systems, provides hardware support for nearly everything, is the driving force behind computer sales and, perhaps more importantly, large corporations with tens of thousands of computers, etc.

I'm not a fan of Microsoft in general, and I acknowledge that everything they do and produce is in one way or another a copy of something else- since the very beginning, even - but saying that Mac is better simply because they're not Microsoft is just sdrawkcab imho.

Did I mention that Macs are twice as expensive as a comparable PC system? Macs are twice as expensive as a comparable PC system.

I hadn't had any blue screens for years on my computer Did I mention that I've also been through several upgrades on it without ever formating? [I changed pretty much everything too, changing brands even].

I guess my computer is a warrior XD

Please, tell me how to do that on Mac. XD

 

[Mormz]

Meh, I'd rather just laugh at a Mac users who tries to use third party software.

 

[Max Payne]

I laugh at you people are your meager perceptive skills. I can't believe how many of you folks didn't get it.

 

[Mormz]

What, that Alex was taking the piss? I fucking said that in my first post. <.< Granted I edited after I re-read what he first posted.

 

[Eerie]

We did take it, doesn't mean that we can't talk anyway XD

The topic wasn't even Mac vs Ms XD

It's about those lame ads

I had to face much worse trolling today, so that's not that fake debate that's going to stirr me up XD

Actually Dustin I was being completely serious. I don't know what the rest of these hooligans are talking about.

I wish for once that companies across the board would focus on what really matters, and just work on improving their products overall, rather than bitching via advertisement about "who's got the most popular shit-talking-marketing scheme"

Seriously - the Bing vs. Other Search Engines (pronounced Google) are just as bad as the Mac vs. PC shit. It's all about getting people to use your product / website without really giving any real examples of what makes yours better, and just stereotyping the living fuck out of the other one until yours seems vastly superior. Really if Bing explained what the fuck a "Decision Engine" is and how it works, maybe I'd give half a shit.

That being said - I'll just use whatever I like / can afford. I'll run Win7 cause I use it at work, and really like the OS, and I'll use Chrome instead of IE, because I think it's Vastly superior to the other browsers I've tried, and I really like the interface, and I read about what it did differently, and why.

Really - in general open source things try to build things from the ground up (like the Chrome Browser) rather than just endelessly patch things with the latest trends (like IE), and it's in the effort of making everyone's browser better (that's why it's open source). If people'd get over the "you stole it from ___" and stop suing each other right and left, maybe everyone could actually achieve something vastly superior to what we've got now a lot faster.

The only good thing about those commercials is Justin Long.

Why do people actually have trouble with detecting sarcasm in Alex? I'm thick as a milkshake and I can still spot obvious irony.

I have no idea why but it's hilarious.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

For some reason, because PC voiced Father and Other Father so I can't imagine him without thinking "Hi, I'm a PC." "Hi, I'm Other PC."

 

[Cthulhu]

Just for the record, I knew Alex was trolling, and we don't get those ads over here. We've got 'I'm a Mac'-cunts walking around at work and social gatherings and shit, .

 

[Hisako]

We in Australia used to have those ads.

But then we smartened up and realised how stuck-up and poofy that shit was so they took it off.

Nowadays it's all about how the Mac is the lightest piece of shit around and uses the same amount of power as "a regular lightbulb" to excuse the battery.


I reckon the worst ad that I've probably seen from Apple was the ad that revolved around the iPhone's ability to randomly select a restaurant within a general location you desired. One entire fucking half minute of advertising centred around a stupid gimmick that most iPhone users wouldn't even use.

It's as if Apple's so confident they feel like challenging the fricking Yellow Pages.

 

[Mormz]

You know what adverts are more annoying than the Mac ones?

These:

Every time these Palm Pre adverts come on, I want to take a fucking hammer to that bitches annoying face.

 

[Cthulhu]

We don't get those over here either, .

And that chick can hold my balls in the air all she likes, . I'll take a walk in the park with her after lunch, if you know what I mean.

Hey! You're supposed to be working!

... And I've not seen these Palm Pre adverts.

I don't know, I think they just haven't seen him post a lot or something. But then again, sometimes he can be pretty convincing. He's fooled me a couple times before
