ya you suck…maybe more than windows does (ha that’s not possible) he summed it up for you perfect, Mac is better for everything but gaming and professional use. For the record, if macs made gaming computers and video games supported mac it would be better than windows any day. Not to mention how much of a resource hog windows 7 is… do YOUR research buddy.

You do realize that PC means “Personal Computer” right? The term PC has nothing to do specifically with Windows. So you said, “I think it’s hilarious that I’m a long-time personal computer user, but I’m reading this on a Mac.”

That makes absolutely no sense . . . Go kill yourself.

I can only speak for myself, and yes, I am one of those arty creative people with thick modern glasses and a black coat. I have worked on a Mac forever and all I can say is that I run my own company for 6 years, always working on Macbook Pro’s, and I have never been let down. I can work wherever I want, I open my machine, I am online, and everything is ready to go. My iPhone and iPad are easily synchronized and Time Machine on my wireless disk makes sure that I don’t loose anything. Whenever I sit down at a Windows machine I simply cannot imagine that the majority of the world has to sit down and look at this amazingly ugly interface which stupid icons and popups that cry for attention. It’s like being in a playground with impatient kids.
It is just a real pleasure to work with a Mac, and if the price is an issue, think again. A Mac is a piece of juwelery that does any job for you. No I don’t work at apple I am simply a huge fan because of the reliability and beauty of the machines period.

There is no difference between any operating system of this modern age, anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot. If you are able to regularly buy Apple products then you have too much money mostly due to the country you live in.

The very first Crane Stand was crafted of powder-coated steel with the help of aeronautical engineer and designer Brandon Wilke. The mobile laptop stand was first released at Decibel Festival (An International Electronic Music Festival) in 2008 in Seattle and received an overwhelmingly positive response from the music community. Soon thereafter, hands were shook securing a deal with a large-scale distributor, and it wasn’t long until the Crane Stand was in full scale production.

What Chris meant is that, if you use Mac, you wouldn’t really bother using softwares from Windows. For exemple, Using Microsoft Office on a Mac would be nearly obsolete now that you look at iLife and everything it does.

Now, lets put it the other way around. Lets say you are a windows user and need to use Mac software. I can easily tell a Mac software that the huge majority of Windows user use: iTunes. Sure, there are windows equivalents of it, but… nothing as good. And I see tons of stuff on windows that is ripoff from Mac. RocketDock is a good exemple. People always wanna use it because its so convenient and good looking. Guess what? Its a (poorly made) copy of the Mac’s Dock, and doesn’t work as well either.

Well, there you go :) I hope I did answer your question.

Or you could just buy a two-button (or more than that. I heard even 17-button mouses exist… ) for your Mac (any USB mouse works on it) and stop whining about that :)

I’ve had my fair share of both computers, but not with the new windows 7 or anything like that..
On a macbook pro 15 inch and its a great computer, things I like most are the multi-touch trackpad, makes computing so much easier! But there are a lot of things wrong with this computer and just apple products. I’m finding at about the 2 year mark of having an apple product they simply just start to break down. Examples: my ipad, ipod touch and macbook pro.
the iPad is a year old and the itouch about 8-9 months and already they are going downhill.

I do not heavily use them at all, just occasionally, in fact, I replaced my ipod touch with a smartphone and the ipad is just a bigger, fatter version of an itouch! <– figured that out AFTER i bought it -_-
anyways they just go slow.
They don't make them like they used to, its all assembled in china now and I know I may sound really idiotic right now saying "oh it was made in china, its bad" but let's be honest here, they get the job done for little pay, whether its done good or bad. And not to mention the ipad doesn't have its own little experience that Android tablets(android 3._ Honeycomb and the new ones) do, its same as itouch and iphone..
Not completely hating on apple though, but the only thing I like about the Mac is OS X and the trackpad.
You DO NOT get what you pay for.
I've had to visit the Genius Bar over at the local apple store about 5 times
These things have a lot of problems ahh
1st visit- computer wouldnt turn on- a month after I got it. Only things I've been doing are safari and itunes
2nd visit- The fan was like at war with something and kept making the most obnoxious sound ever, just going WHURRR BURRR WHURRR WHURRR
3rd Visit- I don't know exactly but it was like this grinding sound…
4th- The screen turned pink and purple- quite a sight to see but it turned pink and purple after restarting the computer, tried restarting again and would just stay as a fusion of pretty colors.
5th- the computer just froze. froze up like something in a blast chiller.

These all happened within the first year I had this computer, I treat my computer like a god.. – ok not really but I do treat it nicely. never dropped, and always used gently.

Apple has become one of those companies where you can get something just as good or better but they charge you more just because of the brand name they have. Honestly, after my experiences with Apple, people mostly buy them for their looks or just the sake of being trendy or cool or whatever ESPECIALLY THE iPHONE OH GOODNESS. <— I did, but also none of the pc's seemed fairly decent at the time. Purchasing a samsung 9 series soon. And another PC, One that doesn't come with a lame 250gb and I can get for half the price!

I think you’re mistakenly confusing the merits of “innovation” with “utility”. Right clicking for cotext menus is only logical and a multibutton mouse, like the Mighty Mouse, is far more than a right clicker. Silly apple people.

that’s because it doesn’t rhyme the other way around!
