Perhaps I should have used the term zealot instead. There are 100s of reasons I could put up here to explain why I hate macs. I won't do it, because this is an internet messageboard, and this is a troll thread. |

OSes are like religions, both sides have something to say about the other and both try to get you into their beliefs |

Windows 7 is going to have touch screen capabilities, its like Star Trek! BTW I'm not for either, I think both Windows and OSX are terrible and the only reason I am not on Linux is because my sound card isn't supported by it yet. Linux = free, Linux wins. |

Not once did I say that there isn't a lot of impressive industrial design going into macs. I just think they are overpriced, the company that makes them uses underhanded business tactics, and they treat their community of programmers like dirt. I also don't like their interfaces. Sure the ipod has a nice interface (the self explanatory scroll wheel and screen work together fantastically). I do not like the single mousebutton they went with on their computers for years. I can't stand the oversimplification that goes into their OS. That bar or dock or lobby or whatever at the bottom of every mac screen is a fucking eyesore. I like my computer screen stripped down. On my vista computer I have all the fancy graphics turned off. I have windows firewall turned off. I have user account control turned off (thats the pesky program that asks you if you want certain programs to run and whatnot). My start menu is set to classic. My explorer window has the directory tree exposed on the lower lefthand side so I can quickly navigate from one end of my directory structure to the other. It took me 20 minutes to customize these settings right when I got it, and I never get any grief or bluescreens of death or any errors. I don't have any concerns over OS stability or security. My computer is practically problem free. Only programs I want running run and nothing is hidden. |

For a while there I really thought Exaph was joking. Now its become evident that he is clearly not. Ive never understood people like him, people who are passionate about any multi-billion dollar corporation whose only objective is take money from people like him. I bet hes lining up to buy the ridiculously lame new ipod shuffle they announced today and somewhere in Cupertino, Steve Jobs is laughing like some glorifed car salesman because they managed to take another suckers cash. |

There has been a gang war in my city for the last month. 36 people shot. Pretty crazy. It turns out it started when someone went onto the UN gangs Blogger page and started a discussion about whether or not to buy a mac or pc laptop. |

LOL. @b666 If only we could live without having to spend hey! OINK invites anyone? PLEASE? Hey I know they take the piss with their updates but that doesnt mean you HAVE to buy everything does it?

In what way is it a good thing that my laptop, operating system, music application, telephone and mp3-payer are all from the same company? I fail to understand why all those Mac fanatics love to put their complete computing experience in the hands of one company. A company that tries to enforce complete vertical and horizontal control. A couple of months ago, I got the chance to do some iPhone development at my company. I got totally disgusted by the way Apple wants total control over Apple users and developers. They control which applications are allowed to run on your iPhone and they had an NDA which disallowed developers to talk about iPhone development just to protect their reputation. They control application distribution to maximize the profits, and you can't fiddle around with the software. It's a very scary situation. I don't want to be a part of that. Sure Apple products are generally better, but I will never support those cunts. Microsoft might be the same, but at least they suck at it. Linux is the only way to a healthy software environment for me. |

unexpected twist to the unexpected twist: kaara is so frustrated by all these sucky operating systems that he decides to give up this modern lifestyle and live in an igloo in antarctica for his remaining days. however, he is constantly tortured by the penguins, which remind him of linux. |

Even if you think OSX is the bestest OS ever, how on Earth do you justify the hardware prices? They are using the same components as loads of bog standard computers, yet charging an absolute fortune! I had no idea pastel paints were SO EXPENSIVE! Maybe the cost is incurred getting some poor soul to sand down the corners on everything - something of an at Apple... I use a Thinkpad T60. I think it is built very well and is a good laptop. It isn't a budget model, but I think the extra money spent is justified by the good build quality and engineering inside it. Keyboard is the best ever on a laptop as agreed by everyone who's used one. T series is more business orientated. I think the X series is more for media type things? Anyway, with the exception of Apple, with laptops, you get what you pay for generally. Just make sure you choose a decent one (not some PC World ADVENT brand etc) Get an apple if you want. They're pretty good computers, but poor value for money. And remember, it is just a tool. If it does the job, who cares what flavour fruit it is. P.S. I love how apple fanboys always have to defend the honour of Saint Steve of Cappuccino. P.P.S Remember Apple products . |

so looks like a pretty good deal. Thoughts anyone? I'm in the market for a new (pc) laptop, price isn't really an issue. Anyone want to persuade me to pay more for a Sony or something nicer? |
