Mac FMFW!
Even a mini-horse likes a Mac

 

Vista = Windows 7 plain and simple. The code is the same exact thing. The only difference is very minor additions added under the hood and a new look to make people think it's different.


Also, snow leopard on my laptop plays starcraft 2 / steam perfectly fine for me when I'm at lan parties

 

[QUOTE=Riceboi,Sep 9 2010, 02:52 AM] I would like to know why they are better putting costs aside even assuming they are the same price, why are macs better than non-macs?

 

Plus, hardware is not all that Macs are about - people that argue against Macs based on hardware don't get it - you're overlooking all the software and integrated process design that makes actually using the thing possible and easy.

 

^ This!

And, as another that uses both PCs and MACs on a daily basis, my viewpoint is that regardless of which side you're on, most all of those flaming the other are the same kind of uniformed and ignorant people that happen to pick a side and defend it to the end as if it were their born religion most probably because 1) that's what they experienced first, or 2) they had some equally uninformed and ignorant person that they viewed as some sort of 'roll model.'

Seriously, of all the stupid things to argue over. And even worse, the amount of judging that people have over others based on their computer choice.

I've found that each of my computers has its strengths and weaknesses against the other, which is the reason that I use both. Pick what meets your needs and move on.

 

Yep as I said

 

This.

Ever see comparo sample photos of the iPhone 4 (which I hate) vs. the Droid Incredible's (which I have and like very much)? The iPhone has a 5MP camera vs the Inc's 8 and Apple wins. This can be demo'd in other areas such as well, where the Mac loses the spec war but outperforms.

I grew up on PC's (dad was a techie in the 80's and 90's). Over the years I'd always customized my PC to work the way I wanted from applications to appearance to system ops. I spent LOTS of time doing this along with dabbling in diff. programming languages. When I started working at my current job, they used all Macs and I immediately thought, "WTF have I been doing all these years?" So I bought a MacBook Pro a couple of years ago. This isn't to say this is how everyone will see things. Macs fit better for my purpose/work environment. They just work for me.

Not to mention any sort of customer service you'll receive. Any parts that fail, even without Apple Care have been replaced without question, which has only occurred once due to nVidia's faulty video cards. Same with the iPhone's I've had (which I'm not a fan of).

 

Remember, we're trying to have a real discussion about technology, not tribal customs in the late 20th and 21st Century. Take your anthropological studies somewhere else.

 

Don't be too hard on him.

A cop once beat him senseless with an iPod.

 

Wait wait wait. . . so, let me get this straight:

1. You had a set of problems.
2. You acquired the right tool to address that set of problems.
3. You did so while overcoming a perceived notion that control over the system might be less effective than coherent system integration?

Go eff yourself. You have no business in this thread.
