Yes, Apple is gay.

Here are a list of reasons why I hate Apple computers and their products:

1 - The bulk majority of their user base are too stupid to use a functional computer.
2 - The bulk majority of the people mentioned in the column above *think* the reason they have to use a Mac instead of a PC is rationally justified. These people are wrong, and too stupid to know they're wrong. Kind of like idiots who think they take an amazing shortcut, but it adds 20 minutes to their travels, every day, and they flagrantly insist that anyone traveling with them should take their shortcut because it only makes good sense to travel efficiently. Morons.
3 - Their marketing ploys suggest that when you sit down at a mac you're probably going to "author a movie", whereas if you try to do the same with a PC you'll probably die trying. Of course, this is moronic.
4 - The iPod can't play the bulk majority of audio books. This cripples their functionality when compared to real MP3 players like the ones put out by Creative Labs.
5 - They've made their entire product line flagrantly dumbed down and girlish to the point that, as an educated male, I am repulsed by anything with the Apple trademark thus sabotaging my desire to purchase an iPod Touch (which is the only non-useless thing they offer).
6 - They put tilt sensors into their laptops just to be gay, then somehow suggest that the lack of a balance sensor in most PC based Laptops is odd and constitutes a deficiency.
7 - The fact that the MacBook Air was preceded by a laptop that was a few mm thinner than it. So, when it came out, it wasn't the thinnest, but it sure was the gayest.
8 - How idiots exist that think that mac actually copyrighted some useful things.
9 - The fact that this list can't end because there is no end to the animosity I feel toward these retarded products.
Etc.

Now, you're probably thinking: "LOL! But Every1z has a iPod or N iPhone! ROFLZX0R!"

To which I would reply: "You are an idiot, so are the majority of all people. This does not make me want to be an idiot."

The other day my uncle was at the local Laptopery picking out the latest family attraction when, to my horror, he informed me that the salesman was trying to sell him a MacBook. Oh my freaking gosh. Are you kidding me? Do you know what his pitch was?
"Most business people use MacBooks because they're so reliable."
"MacBooks never get virus' so you'll never have a problem!"

First of all, most business people actually need to install software on their laptop, thus ruling out the MacBook from the start. I have never seen a businessman, unless they were in the "showing people webpages on their laptop" business, or the "retouch digital photos" business, use a freaking MacBook.

Secondly, there are Mac Virus', but they are as common as Mac compatable software, so the chance of getting them (and the software) is equally slim. Reminds me of the old analogy: "The safest body of water to go fishing at is your toilet, but don't expect to catch anything but shit."

So, after a salesman hooks the unsuspecting retard with promises of freedom they get their macbook and a copy of adobe photoshop (2x the price of an actual laptop, PLUS software costs). Then they think that only mac's can run graphical applications. Then hordes of people are tricked into thinking that a mac, a freaking mac, can run graphical applications better. What's worse is that reputable artists to sign up to that BS. "Oh man, the screen is so big and nice, and the graphic processing is so fast". WTF! Are you kidding me? The screen is made by freaking SAMSUNG you freak, you think you can't get a nice screen for a PC? If you tried to pay the same you did for your MAC as you can for a PC you could get the megapimp of all screens, trust me. You could probably even get the clear over pastel finish if you really wanted it. What's more is that the hardware is identical since Intel ate Mac's face. The fact of the matter is that there is no computational advantage to using a Mac, it just costs more, and runs the gayest operating system of all time. Way to go hero.

I think the next time I hear "I had video, and I just plugged it into my mac and it just worked, right out of the box! Lol!" I'm going to gatling punch a school of porpoises through the Baring Straight. Seriously. Are you kidding me? That's the marketing ploy? Get the stupidest person ever to explain their experience with Mac's auto-driver install? Has Windows *not* had that since the dawn of time? What are they marketing against? FreeBSD?

Those mac vs PC commercials are so incredibly stupid.
"What are you doing today PC?"
"Oh, I'm going to work on some spreadsheets, what about you mac?"
"Oh, I just finished authoring a movie, and now I'm going to produce some artwork and maybe some songs or chat with friendsLOL!"

Give me a break, do they honestly think they're tricking anyone by saying that a PC can only do spreadsheets? Are they really fooling anyone into thinking that Windows Vista just plain doesn't work? I think the majority of all computers in the world beg to differ.

Here's how I would change that conversation:

"What are you doing today PC?"
"Oh, I'm playing Counterstrike 5, while I run some PLC simulations. I think I might install Adobe Premier later to get those home movies out of the way. What are you doing mac?"
"Oh, I'm licking my mom's face."
"Well that's fagtarded mac, that's why I always push you down the stairs."
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaahiwearpurpleshirtsandargylesockstobed"

I want a good MP3 player that can play everything, movies, you name it. Plus I want cool applications. So you might think I'd want an iPod Touch. No, I want audio books too. So I have to get a creative MP3 player because they're far more functional as a media player. But... then I can't go on the internet. My only choice is the PSP, dang PSP, why are you so huge?

Ugh.... Ok, on to my 8th point. What the hell is wrong with all you mac fans? Seriously, every time I see a demonstration of a multi-touch interface (simply an interface with more than one control point) I will invariably see a comment by some idiot to the tune of "LOL! Multitouch! Apple copyrighted!". At that point I lay the smack down, and everyone gets a good laugh, except the idiot who made the comment who doesn't know he's been smote and goes his ignorant way contented. If there was some device that translates textual burnination into real physical damage I'm sure he probably would have been mortally wounded, but anyway.....

No, "multi-touch" was not an Apple patent. It was first introduced by Bell Labs (yes, in Canada) in 1984. Yes, a freaking million years ago. The only reason idiots like the one described above even THINK that apple invented this technology is because the first exposure the common moron has to "multi-touch" is the freaking iPhone or other mac retardery.

Anyway, as per everything, I am clearly right, and apple is retarded, they would be less retarded if their fan base was less retarded. Alas, they've attracted so many flies that I'm keeping myself away from any potentially interesting hardware they may put out.

If you don't believe me, ask Maddox how he feels about the iPhone.
I'm happy-go-lucky compared to him.

Being in the print industry, I have to use both Macs and PCs. There really is not difference between the two when talking about graphics capabilities. We mostly get Mac files though. As far as internet stuff, the Mac still won't show all webpages correctly compared to a PC even while using Firefox.

I have never gotten a virus on any of the Macs, but in terms of software problems and crashes, they are just as bad if not worse than PCs. Generally speaking there are not really any good fixes to those problems either when they happen. They have a bunch of shortcut keys to get into safe mode and stuff like that, but they are all hidden from the user, so you better know what they are or you are screwed.

Can I quote this shit for one of my essays?

It's called "Apple and fags."

For a more serious post though.

As a Film Student, the majority of the computers at my campus are indeed Macs. The university encourages the use of Final Cut Pro, which if anyone doesn't know, is quite literally a rip off of Adobe Premiere Pro. All workshop classes are conducted in Mac labs, where we are taught everything (from Flash to After Effects).

Quite frankly, they are o-so-fucking horrible. I honestly do not recall a computer crashing on me so many fucking times before. No joke whatsoever. All that stuff about Macs being more reliable is a blatant lie. It was virtually impossible for me to work with high resolution photographs and HD footage took for-fucking-ever to even preview - even at a reduced resolution.

It got to the point where I brought in my laptop to work with. My workstation laptop, which by no means is particularly powerful, was so much damn more stable than those Macs.

But even then, in terms of desktops, they just run circles around macs - in both performance and cost.

Edit: I should also probably note; Final Cut Pro is inferior on so many degrees to Premiere Pro. Starting with the fact that Premiere Pro can export directly to After Effects and appreciate it's True Multithreaded programming, Open GL 2.0 Support as well as the sexy ability to appreciate more than 2GB of Ram (unlike every other 32bit application, and even most 64bit programs!)

I approve of the above posts.

To answer Law: Yeah, use whatever you want.

I have an ipodge touch, i enjoy it. Although there have been alot of complaints about the iphone, from locals in my town.

I always thought about getting a mac for university, since most people say they are good. But due to this new information from my computer guys aka you guys, i may look at getting a laptop from microsoft.

I considered mac and after talking with some guys here ended up building my onw pc. Love it, was cheaper and haven't regretted anything since.

I have an iphone. Honestly, I reckon it's great. But given the phone I had before this was some piece of shit LG that I used for 5 years, anything is better.

Unlike most people; I have no problems typing on it (the trick is to tilt it slightly so your finger hits the screen at 90 degrees) or doing anything on it for that matter.

I like it because it doubles up as a mp3 player, which is awesome because I just plug it into my car and select my playlist. Beats uploading music onto my car and navigating through idrive, or going through CDs. Though the lack of vocal commands (unlike idrive) leaves me wanting.

The lack of bluetooth support does annoy me a bit though; as my previous phone had it, and now this phone isn't compatible with my car's bluetooth phone system. But, all I do is just hit speakerphone while the phone is plugged into my car, and it works almost as well. Almost :\

But Macs suck penis & balls.
