... this is lame, im going to end it with this, who ever owns a pc is a walking retarted..everytime i touch those god damn computers they ------ up i absolutely hate microsoft, i own the xbox 360 i have gotten the ring of death three time in the past two ------in years.. they make crappy products, its sad how pc is the main computer in the world... very soon im sure mac will come along. and the right click means nothing, you can go out and buy a right click mouse ofr the mac.. easy. i was on my friends pc showing him how to make something on ps and the gay computer wouldnt stop messing up and its about two months old! im not say macs dont mess up, cause they do trust me my family owns six macs.. but the percentage compared to pcs messing up over macs is very high.. now please comment saying im full of crap pleassee! but i know whats good out there, i only get good legit items, and a pc never will be one of them.
Kind of hard to test the validity of your statement(s?) when you obviously don't understand the difference between Microsoft and PC. It all depends on what you're using your computer for, as well. I'm not saying you're full of crap, just that you're misinformed and ignorant (which is OK, everyone is at some point with something. It's life, it's okay).
Apple is built on pure marketing... Their operating system sucks majorly, and the only thing that keeps them alive is the statement that "they are secure and don't get viruses as easily". I'll tell you why they don't get viruses; ever seen an apple server? It's slow, VERY slow. They can't deal with data transfer. Take usb sticks as a simple example... on a pc, you put the data on, and go. On a mac, you put the data on, and when you go the mac gets angry at you because you didn't warn it 5 minutes beforehand that you were going to leave Back on the macintosh operating system... when was the last time they came out with a new operating system? I don't mean a new version of the same old crap, a NEW operating system. A loooong time ago. A while back while I was just browsing their home page, I noticed that mac OSX (the newest version at the time, whatever it was ) only had a rating of 3/5 stars. On their OWN webpage... damn, kinda sad if you ask me. Alright, now I get to the part that affects graphics designers... you may want to pay attention to this part: Apple computers do NOT use the same color system as pretty much all of the other computers out there. In fact, there is even internal conflict. Many macintosh computers darken colors. I know many websites with darker themes (sometimes GR included, depending on the severity of the distortion) that look like grey text on a black background. Despite the fact that there may be complex designs etc. Lets move on to their designs then shall we? The macbook air... alright.. it's thin, I'll give them that. Yet despite that, it weighs about the same as my Sony Vaio which is about 1.7 of the thickness. Also, I'm confused as to why thin is in this case so good? Acually, "case" would be the key term here. I know 2 people who own macbook airs. To one of them, the air's screen snapped off as he oppened it. The other had a friend that had the same happen to him. And now..... we get onto the "desktops". Or as i preffer to call them: "Barely Funcionable Screens". Actually, that't not entirely true. The screens work. It's just that as soon as you have any large amount of black showing they turn into extremely good mirrors. Perfect for the paranoid model TBH. You need to check that your hair is still alright? Just have black as your background and exit to your desktop... *takes a couple minutes to breath heavily and give his fingures a rest* LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I leave you with a quote from apple's own website: "Where did the computer go?!" /exit rant mode. By the way, I use macs all the time at school, the amount of times that I've had to redo work because of an error message along the lines of: "___ has unexpectedly quit." is probably the source of my vehemence
People who have macs will say pc sucks and their mac owns, and vice versa for pc users, lol this will never end, even though pc kills mac :tongue:
Ok I do not mean to be pessimistic but those PC and Mac commercials are highly inaccurate. Ok a PC is a Personal Computer, so..what is a Mac then? Is it not a personal computer? Same goes for Windows, your's is a PC yes, but..PC it's not it's title, It would be called Windows. So the commercials should go as so: I'm a Mac And I'm a Windows And who made this commercial, Apple! Now I have nothing against apple, I think Mac's are pretty nice PCs and I gotta admit, I like them, same goes for Windows. But this inaccuracy is just wrong and annoying.
Yes very true, there are many operating systems for PCs Windows Sun Microsystem (Solaris UNIX) Lots of Linux/UNIX OS's like Ubuntu and RedHat and Gnome i'm sure there are others that are current as well.

Epic. For the first half I was thinking "Wow how many times did an Apple exec have to blow this guy to get him to say this." --- In my experience, Mac users are simply PC users who have had a small problem, freaked out and over-reacted by buying an over-priced machine. Also, Apple needs to get its facts straight. All of these supposed problems with Vista... were from an earlier version. Not saying Vista is great, that would be a stretch, but don't go around trying to confuse old people into buying a Mac. These commercials are pathetic; it's mudslinging but with ----. ----slinging. I thought the idea of a commercial was to promote a product.
