I'm so fucking sick of macfags buying into every stupid fucking product Apple pulls out their ass and cleans off. The Mac was a failure of a product that should of fell into the abyss and DIED in the '90s. Somehow, they made a comeback and now with very clever advertising they are convincing every retard in America to buy their shit.

Have you ever examined the Mac commercials that you people buy into? They're full of propaganda. Not only propaganda, TEXTBOOK propaganda. The "I'm a Mac" ads are nothing buy straw man. The "Switch" ads are based on "Appeal by Common Man," showing typical saps bragging about how happy they are now that Jobs gave them a hand job.

The iPod is nothing about an overly costly MP3 player, which gets smaller and more unnavigable with each passing update.

The iPhone is not necessary. It's another shiny toy that gluttonous poor Americans buy because it's the cool fucking thing. Not that it isn't cool to spend $5 on an application that randomly pics a restaurant from a list, but ALL of that shit is impractical and useless. If you need to play games when you're on the bus buy a fucking gameboy for a tenth of the price, game prices included.

Apple is retrogressing to their old ways, and hopefully the impact will be so great it destroys them collectively. They've patented a new product called the "iGlove, " which utilizes finger movements to write and shit. A beta tester was BRAGGING about how he was able to use it to write an e-mail in ONLY 43 minutes.

GOD DAMNIT.

It sounds like you're bitter that they have been more innovative in production and marketing than Microsoft and others.  

Macs are better quality than the average PC, user friendly and they give good service. Windows is based off the Mac OS as well. They've slowed it down lately but point is, as you said, they should've died but they didn't and they're coming back stronger than ever.  

About the iPhone, it's the interface and what it does for the average person that is good. Apps are often free or like $2 or less, and Urban Spoon (which you pointed out) is not $5.

You shouldn't hate on a more creative company that has done business well that Microsoft took ideas from, there are still more Windows users after all.



im not bitter because they have more "innovative" marketing because any dumbass can go on tv and say    "im a product A, hes a product B, product B's a douchbag" and have millions of people buy product A just because the 5 second commerical for product A made them giggle.

I'd hardly call the ipod "unavigable" when in my experience (and i've used a LOT of mp3 players) it has one of the cleanest and nicest interfaces out there

I did have both a PC and a Mac, but I got rid of my PC (it was old and slow anyway) and now just use my MacBook. I much prefer it over using Windows, though I'm not a huge Apple fanboy who will sit there spouting bollocks about 'MAC IS SUPERIOR I HATE WINDOWS YOU SUCK FOR USING IT' as everyone has the right to choose what they want.

Personally, I much prefer OS X as an operating system, and I love the aesthetics/product design of Apple hardware, and just the way everything 'just works'. Some may see it as being 'simple' and easy to use, but I like not having to install anti-virus stuff, anti-spyware software and run defrags/scans all the time.

I also have an iPhone, and buy pretty much all my computer stuff from Apple, but like I said it's a choice and they're the company I prefer to go with, not because I'm being a fanboy, just because I like the way they work and produce things.

I don't see why people get so worked up about these sorts of things, why can't you just accept the fact that some people want to use different things and leave them be?

Do you have any idea how fucking violent I am against these new age sons of fucking cowss that try and say something that is biased only because someone else likes it? The fucking perma-antagonists of the world. That's the Apple user. OH NO MICROSOFT IS BIG EVAL COMPANY MUST BY MAC!!

  So fucking sorry that the second richest man in the world is one of the biggest single donor in the history of the fucking world as a whole. His will entitles each of his children $10,000,000 (Out of $58 billion, that's chump change) and EVERY. SINGLE. CENT other than that goes to their foundation to be spread to the needy.

  Now excuse me, I need to take a fucking aspirin because I have a migraine from the blood pressure skyrocketing to that of carbonated fucking soda.


 

 Hey if you're not one of them, then fine. Based on your post though, that's how you come across, so if you don't like my reaction to it, fix the post.

 I'm not putting down Microsoft or Bill Gates at all. I'm not one who buys a Mac due to Microsoft being a big company, I still use Google after all. I prefer Mac's because I find that the quality is better than the average PC and I appreciate the asthetics of it all better. Other things as well, but I actually prefer Macs. People would be dumb to pay more for a Mac for reasons such as trends, hype, or convince themselves that they like it. I grew up on Macs when everyone was on PCs, switched to PCs for a few years and switched back to Mac because after trying both, I think Mac's are better.


I was actually considering buying a mac laptop, but I don't have the patience/will to learn something new I guess.

Yeah it is hard to switch. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to unlearn and learn each time I switched. Macs aren't too hard though, and I think they cause less frustration than Windows does. I'd suggest trying it out, they're good machines, just don't expect some Godly one though.

I usually do edit, I just didn't for some reason this time.

I quite believe that microsoft is pretty fucking popular too buddy O.o

  Read the last line of my post directly before it, buddy.


 

 Firstly: it's called an edit button
 Secondly: I don't see the relevance. Stating that "there are still windows users afterall" and then "don't hate because of popularity" doesn't go hand in hand.


If you're going to quote me, quote me right. I said Windows is still MORE popular. While my popularity comment doesn't go hand in hand, it doesn't conflict because I'm saying not to hate due to the Mac's popularity, meaning that it's rising rather than it's greater than Windows'.  

Edit button? What are you talking about, it says if an entry is edited. And it wasn't.


I was implying to use that to add more to a post. Makes more sense making a separate post if it's relevant to your previous post, no?

i hate apple too
i bought an iPod nano a year ago
and it broke
i dropped it about a foot down onto a wooden table
((as opposed to my tile floors))
and it put a tiny TINY dent in the side
the ENTIRE screen was so much duller
and the bottom half was totally shitted out
and you couldnt see anything
ive moved on to Zune
and ive dropped my zune down the stairs NUMEROUS times
and its still in perfect working condition
i think im done with Apple
