    One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't:

    SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories they burn because they can't shut the fuck up about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple's marketing campaign, like "it just works." I have the following rebuttals to this argument:

    1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

    -Login window stuck!
    -lower caSe "S" key not working!!
    -Menu bar keeps flashing
    -I can't drag and drop!

    Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:

    2. Fuck you.

    I don't know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can't do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can't even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog shit:

    Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

    # An artist.
    # In a band.
    # Unemployed (see above).

    After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community? It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole! I feel like Apple is not just selling computers, they're selling a way of life, and I'm not ready to be that heavily invested in a product. I think this parody helps illustrate Apple's unspoken message:

    iTunes is the new Real Player:

    Back in the late 90s, everyone used Real Player. Then those cocks at Real Network got greedy, and tried to get their application to take over your entire PC, and people stopped using it. Same thing is happening with Quicktime now. You can't install Quicktime anymore unless you download bullshit iTunes. This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Not that I could have used it for what I wanted to anyway:

    From the actual iTunes End User License Agreement.

    "You will also agree that you will not use these products for the development, design, manufacture, or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons."

    If I want to manufacture biological weapons with my copy of iTunes, I will, fascists. Ditch this bullshit.

    3,920,529 Mac fans switched back over to Windows, even though Windows is just as shitty.

    how do you know my ipod??
  • can someone explain to me why their ipod is so great? the ipod touch appears cool, i guess. people only get that to show off, right? kinda like the iphone. plus, isnt it only 16g or so? i could be wrong.

    i think the zune interface is much easier to work with. the wireless syncing is great. i just sit it in the cradle to charge, get on the computer, drag and drop new shit on there or watch/listen to music and vids on the tv. im not saying your ipod doesnt do that. the radio with song recognition is cool, as is the ability to find other zune users in your range and send/receive songs.

    and that picture of me is old. ive since shaved my stache. hi,fanch.

    i use a mac. i don't use it because i'm an asshole either. i use it b/c i felt that i got more for my money and b/c i had 2 new pc's die on me---both within a year of purchase.

    there are some broad character generalizations in your mac rant. if you don't like Apple/Mac, fine with me. but realize that not every user is a pretentious dick about their computer. i'm glad you like your zune & pc. i'm glad it works for you. i really am. i tried that route & it didn't work, so i bought a mac.

    i'm not socially inept or super skinny from talking about my mac all day. but i sure do love taking my iPod with me when i go running! ;)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Honestly dude. We do it to get a rise out of all of you over angered pc users. Your hate towardsa COMPUTER is just absolutely ridiculous. That website you linked is absolutely hilarious. Only a pc user would give a shit enough about a damn computer to make a website trying to prove that PC's are better. I got one word for that....LAME

    No offense but, Macs are MILES better. I used to own pcs, nothing but garbage. I finnaly convinced my dad to get a mac and BOOM, I love it. I mean sure, it has its share of kinks and wierd things sometimes, but NOWHERE near as bad as a shitty PC. TBH I don't give a shit about computers, and I dont understand why PC users are so obsessed with them that they have to back them up eveytime a mac user tells them they are better. They ARE better, seriously. I dont hate WIndows because it says Microsoft on it, I hate it because its a piece of shit. I heard windows 7 is great, ill check it out when it comes out. Will it sway me to get a pc over another mac? I HIGHLY doubt it, but if its good, than thats cool. Oh and I actually think Bill Gates is a real cool guy from interviews, but his products SOOOK.

    As for the topic: I had a zune, and I currently have an ipod touch. The zune definately had better sound quality. But then again, a ZUNE vs and IPOD TOUCH? Are you kidding me. Ipod touch/iphone is a fucking artifact from the future. I can do what? everything on my ipod touch?

    edit: oh and your terrible typical pc defense mechanism sucks. Seriously, mac users don't know how to turn on a computer? dude....ANYONE who is ANYONE knows how to use a computer, it doesnt matter what the fuck it is. I know how to use a pc just as well as my mac, its all the same shit. The differences are so minute. that argument is TERRRRRRIBLE. And anyway, I know MORE about computers now that I have a mac simply because I actually LIKE my computer. Every PC i've owned I hated, and I wanted nothing do with corny knowledge of computers. Now that I have a mac, im like, oh hey this think runs great, let me look up some random computer stuff up. Mac users know nothing about computers...hahaha OK.

    Oh and the mac I use: $600 got me a 1.83 ghz intel core 2 duo processer, 1 gig of ram, and an 80 gig hard drive. (its a mac mini) Pathetic I know right? Not really.... this "slow ass" computer runs faster, smoother, better than any other PC ive owned. A mac simply needs LESS to run great then a pc. Why do you think Macbook Pros only have 2.6(?) ghz processors and 2 gigs of ram? Because they don't need anything better to run good. All these crappy PC's with vista need so much memory and and shit just to run period.

    I don't get the fan boys..

    But I've owned 3 Macs and 3 PCs.. the Macs were more reliable.

    I'm am exited about Windows 7 however.

    I like Mac because the interface is prettier and I like the simplicity. I don't hate Windows and would buy another Windows PC.

    And Fanch, the people bragging about Mac and shoving it in your face are just suffering from an inferior complex. Not that Macs are inferior, but Macs are still by far in the minority.

    And yes, working in computer support for many years now, 99% of people are too stupid to use a PC and should be using Mac.
