Hey!! I just got a new Mac-super-ultra-hardcock-book-PRO, which is also the top gamma 17inches, more inches than you guys can even dream about (me too actually, but I’m supposed to tease you here, not me).
I spent 2400 euro for it. And I’m happy everyday. Every morning I wake up and I KNOW I don’t have to open a sloth, cheap plastic, poor designed PC lid to start everyday’s work.
Nope.
I look at my MBP. The small sleeping light breaths in the dark. It looks beautiful, like every thing I want to be part of my life. It costs a lot? Yes. But it’s not ugly like a crap dell, whose lid resemble that one of a WC!

And, above all, it works. Flawlessly. I never have to restart. Sometimes it also happened to freeze for some secs, with the spinning colorball, but after a few seconds everything was cool again. It’s powerful. I run lots of apps at same time, no sweat.

So, I’m the new macvillage idiot? Yes. Usually the village idiot is happy. And I sure am.

Preach it brother!! Preach the word!!! Cupertino is the gathering place of the weak. Apple is the facade behind which the unclean masses hide their filthy lust for shiny white plastic. Sickening phonies, the lot of them.

if it were up to me, you’d all be denied access to the internet or any computing device with more computing power than a simple calculator. the world would be a much better place, that’s for sure.

Windows Vista is an abomination, but OSX is even worse. Those are toy systems for idiots or infants who have no idea about information technology and probably can’t even manage to program their VCR. If you’re not totally braindead you’d use linux, everything else just sucks in comparison, but if that’s too tough for you better stick to your toy systems. Not to mention that OSX is basically a poor mans unix with a shiny but useless UI that just gets in my damn way. Those crap systems only exist because of you crap lusers who have no clue and should’ve never been allowed to access to a PC or the internet anyway. GO DIE SUCKERS I HATE YOU ALL FOR YOUR CLUELESSNESS YOU SUCK AND BECAUSE OF YOU WINDOWS AND OSX CRAP EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU MORONIC FOOLS

I’ll be the first to admit that Macs are not the best choice for everyone (clearly, Apple offers a limited range of configurations), but I don’t think all Mac owners are deluded.

There are plenty of Mac owners who actually understand computers, and realize full well that “Macs just work” and “Macs don’t get viruses” are not absolute truths. Nevertheless (your experience not withstanding) other anecdotal evidence appears to indicate that Macs may be superior to Windows PCs in several areas, for instance: reliability of plug-and-play, short boot time, fast wake from sleep, greater stability, low system maintenance requirement, freedom from malware, quality of pre-installed Apps, higher resale value, and of course overall user satisfaction. For some, these more than justifies the higher cost of a Mac.

“Macs are for douchebags” is an offensive generalization. It is no more valid than referring PC users as Windows sufferers, basement-dwelling gamers, business drones, lemmings, cheapskates, or nerds.

As for who has been “brainwashed”… For every ignorant but satisfied Mac owner who thinks Apple is infallible, I’ll bet there are dozens of PC owners who curse their computers routinely, yet cling to the belief that if 90% of the world runs Windows, it must certainly be better than any alternative.

Brett, My points (some of which may have been missed by some as soon as I said the word “crotch”) are: 1) Every computer breaks eventually.. 2) Dealing with that issue is exacerbated when the owner has wrongly been brainwashed into thinking nothing bad will ever happen to his/her computer because somehow it is “superior” 3) In my experience, Mac owners, who bought and paid way too much for a machine they will only surf and check email with, exhibit a higher level of arrogance due to #2. Higher levels of disposable income and stupidity are not mutually exclusive. Let’s just say for a very short moment, for the sake of argument, That Apple makes better products than anything else on the market. Ok, if you are the owner of one of those products does it serve your interests better to: a) Keep it to yourself and enjoy your secret? b) Flaunt it in everybody’s face like an ignorant child? Or c) Try to be a decent human being and help the less fortunate come to your understanding? Obviously, fanboy rants, some call them testimonials, are posted all over the net. Most gravitate to the (b) category and, that position simply does no owner of any apple product any good, hence, my position that “MACsAREforDouCHebags”. My opinions are based on exactly half of what I read and 100% of real-world repair tech experience. Personally, my first “personal computer” was an Apple II+, $1200.00 almost 30 years ago and it had about as much memory as a good calculator does today. It was my last apple computer but I bought it when differences were as major as “do you want your computer to display COLOR”? I’ve never looked back….

Yeah, just wait. *Someday*, Mac owners will suffer just like PC owners have been for years. That’ll sure even things out. (…Blathering anti-apple zealot wipes the drool from his chin)

Face the facts. Malware writers want to infect lots of computers. Windows PC are the “low hanging fruit”. That’s what they are familiar with, and that’s what most people own. Why spend effort learning to program the Mac just to infect a few (less than 10%) of the total computers? There’s no real need. As long as Macs maintain a minority share of the market, they will be targeted less than Windows PCs.

Regarding your opinion that Mac owners are “reveling in high priced exclusivity”, I suspect that most are just reveling in the joy of using well designed computer and OS, and it is your self doubt that is distorting your perception.

Every day you can read testimonials from recent switchers kicking themselves for waiting so long before finally ditching their Windows PCs.

If and when the day comes that we Mac owners have to install anti-virus software, we will do so. But we will continue to enjoy using our Macs more than we ever did our PCs.

WOW!! I could not say it any better. Confirms my suspicion that the worst part of a MAC is its owners arrogance! I wonder how they are going to feel knowing that the eventual virii that will plague their machines will most likely by written on a PC; so much for superior…And the time is coming…with all MAC owners revelling in their high-priced exclusivity it only makes sense to target them and their deep pockets with phishing scams, trogens that thieve their financial data, and such…that is, ahem.. if I knew any hacker type people like that )
