Let the anti-apple rant begin!!!!

<rant>

I hate Macs and i hate mac users too. I have always hated them for all my life. When try (and fail because im blinded by its stupid white and silver shinyness) to sit down to use a Mac, the first thing into my mind is, "Where the hell is the second mouse button!" and "I hate Macs!!"

I am also sick and tired of mac fanboys who pretend to like Macs not for thier looks but because they are in someway better. HOW CAN IT BE BETTER IF ITS ONLY GOT ONE DAMN MOUSE BUTTON AHHHHH!

You may have noticed the current Apple advertising campaign starring Mitchell and Webb (those random guys from peep show). I thaught to myself “ Apple has nothing better to do with its money than this?.” There ads must have been written by a 5 year old (average mac user hehehe)

In the ads, Webb plays a Mac while Mitchell plays a PC. Thats no surprise as Mitchell, who wears a nerdy suit is generally thaught of as the wierd one with no friends, while Webb, who wears casual wear is thaught of as the quirky yet cool psycopath. This is a another not-so-subtle subtle way of saying Macs are cool.

The adverts also make a big deal about PCs being associated with boring office tasks while Macs are associated with fun activities. HOW ARE MACS MORE FUN - YOU CAN HARDLY BUY ANY GOOD GAMES FOR THEM!!!!!

I also hate how we have to hear mac users going on about how great Apples products are and about how much they lovetheir iPods and how they are better than us and that thier systems just work. In one of the ads, the PC (Mitchell) has a virus that makes him sneeze and in another, he keeps crashing and having to be rebooted . This is apple's not so subtle way of saying PCs are more unreliable thatn macs.

Also, did you hear about when apple found out that iPods had a virus on them? Apple had the audacity to say that it was windows fault? How!!!

Also what is up with I everything!!!!!

iPod
iPhone
iTunes

iHateMacs!!!!

Mac users alwats convince me to get a Mac because you’ll never get a virus. LIES!!!! I use Windows and linux and I have never had a virus or any other malware on my any of my computers. And stop going on about how OSX is the most advanced system. Its not! Its worse than vista! I dont want to be treated like a retard!

I suppose that the choice of british comedians in the ads is a wise one as everyone knows them but its also a rather crap decision too as in Peep Show , Webb (the mac guy) plays a rather selfish, sex obsessed loser. So when i watched the ads, I thaught, "PC users may be boring but Mac users are selfish, smug and image obsessed" How true.

And yes, to any mac lovers out there, feel free to comment.

Very argumentative, bennet

From this blog all i can tell is that you hate macs?!

I will blog something in response later.......

Yes i hate them . Anothe rthing to add to the list!!!


Why are they so expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yea! I agree 100%! Damn apple is such a piece of crap.. Have you seen those apple-PC parody commercials? Haha they are hilarious! Microsoft doesn't make any commercials b/c they don't give a damn! The own the entire market!

And for the ipods, they suck! Apple has been sued numerous times b/c they scratch easily, get viruses, and just plain suck balls.

Apple is gay.. you can tell from the way they put a damn 'i' in front of everything.. it's so annoying!

Oh, and.. why does Windows get more viruses than MACs? .. because no one uses a damn MAC! No one wants to waste their time writing a virus that only one person will get.. MACs have no games, are not compatible with anything, are lousy, and expensive as hell. And, the only way you can upgrade them is simply going out and buying another one!

Death to APPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you're basically saying you hate Macs because

• No second mouse button
• Bad advertising campaign
• Snobby users
• No good games
• Product names begin with 'i'

The only point that you've made which is constructive is the lack of games (and it's worth noting that you can still run them by using Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac). Your other points are extremely weak and perhaps biased. For one thing, you can go out and buy a 2 button mouse. Minor inconvenience. And should advertising campaigns, snobby users, and dumb product names really be a reason to hate Apple and/or their products?

So now you're saying that you hate me because I use a Mac. Well, that's encouraging.

OK, but what makes the first statement a lie?

I'd be interested to hear some examples of it. Just saying that an operating system treats you like a retard isn't enough to justify your reasoning behind saying that a particular OS is worse than another.

How does that make them gay?

Where's your proof?

That's one of the few constructive things you've said so far.

Your "blog entry" looks more like a big huge flame than anything else. If this were Digg, I'd bury you.

Oh, and please don't type in ALL CAPS or use so many exclamation marks in a row. It feels like we're being shouted at.

[edit] Going back and reading your previous entry on Dell, I'd have to say that entry and this one are quite alike.

Wow, it seems like you're trying to be clever. How's that working out for you?

Quite good, actually. :-) How about you?

I have used, repaired, screamed at and been generally frustrated by Windows OS in it's various forms for around 20 years and had the same relationship with Microshite programmes like Word, Excel, Powerpoint and several versions of Media Player etc.

I became extremely good at understanding the nightmare that Windows is that I have had few problems at all with it since the release of XP professional edition.

So much so that I had and still have many requests for help from other Windows users.

It got to the point where I would tell a friend to buy his PC then absolutely not touch it, just leave it in the box and call me.
I would then go around to their place and begin the 4 to 6 hour process of completely wiping the hard disc and reinstalling Windows then update it with service packs.
Then I would install all the software that they would need to PROTECT their computer from all the malware viruses adware etc that is out on the Net.

I would explain that all this security would only help if they were to continually keep everything up to date, which with antivirus software can now be around 4 times a day.

I would show them how a lot of this could be set to be automated in the various antivirus programmes the firewall programmes the cleanup programmes the backup programmes the malware programmes the adware programmes . . . . . . . All of which take up hard drive space and eat into resources like memory and cpu usage.

I would point them in the direction of web sites where they could find information on how to keep their system up and running, I would show them how to escape from screen and programme freezes
All this info and mind numbing shit and they haven't even learnt of the pains and evils of email.


I bought a MacBook pro laptop in March this year. I turned it on and in less than 10 minutes I was working away and doing stuff without having to load any third party programmes. After 1 week I had loaded it with programmes, I had also loaded a complete copy of my windows PC on it and had the use of both systems running parallel.

One of several reasons I bought the MacBook was because of the use of the Intel chip which allowed me to run Win XP on it. I had thought that this would give me the best of both worlds because there were some windows programmes that I thought I would be lost without.

In less than a week I found programmes that were made for Mac that would either work as well or better than the Windows programmes I had grown accustomed to.

I removed the Windows XP system from my Mac as I now had no use whatsoever for it

Less than 3 months later I bought another MacBook Pro.

I have hurled demands at these machines that I can tell you a windows machine would not be able to withstand.

The average windows machine with high specs and maximum ram etc would crumble under the abuse I have thrown at the Macs, Video, Graphics, Music, Spreadsheets, databases, Games . . . . . . .

I have not had one single issue with either MacBook at worse I have had a medium size learning curve to contend with and have almost never any need to use a mouse anymore. At first things were strange and a little frustrating but that would be expected.

The Apple website is a mine of help and information and is set up in such a way that it is simple to navigate and find the information you are looking for.

There are a wealth of Mac user forums too where I have found friendly help and advise.

Apart from a few friends whom I would always help I no longer let on that I know anything about Windows, I am a free man I am not a prisoner to Microsoft NOR A SLAVE TO KEEPING THINGS UPDATED BECAUSE ANOTHER SECURITY ISSUE HAS BEEN FOUND OR ANOTHER BUG IN THE SOFTWARE From Microshite has raised it's ugly code.

As for the Apple ads they had no influence on my choices because until I registered my first Mac I had never had a reason to visit there web site, I saw both the USA and UK
version since and some of them I think are funny.

I couldn't give a Monkey's about the look of my computer as long as it works but it is nice to see something other than a Gray lump of plastic.

One marketing catchphrase from Apple I learned of was 'It just works' For the last 6 months this has been absolutely true for me. I load stuff on I plug stuff in, it all works.
I hardly ever have to reboot after loading a new piece of software and when I do have to, every thing is the way it was before the reboot. With Windows often after installing new software something crashes or disappears from the desktop.
Removing software from a Mac is a simple and painless process too.
Networking? just forget about it click . . . click . . type in passwords and your up and running. Connecting a Windows machine is easy too but if there is a problem I have found it's from the Windows machine.

I don't hate Windows users I don't hate non apple PCs.

What I could come to loathe is a Retard who can't use a computer without a mouse or an Idiot that can't use a spell checker (has computer, can't use it) Or an Imbecile who can't read an article about an issue with an iPod, where a virus was found, after it was connected to a Windows PC. Or a Cretin who cannot discern that Vista is little more than a not to subtle ripoff of the design elements of the Mac OS.

A computer is a machine that you can use to do things with.
What type of computer you use is your choice.

What it looks like and the system it uses to function are also a matter of choice.

Anyone who lets their choice be influenced strongly by advertising and less by research runs the risk of ending up with a 'Lemon' whatever system they go for.

I no longer need to use Windows or Microshite products.
I don't care what my computers look like as long as they work.
But there are people who use Windows and Microshite products, who do care what their computers look like.

If JBENNET were a computer it would be a very poor computer to say the very least.

I'm not going to say that I dislike apples. All I can say is that I would be out of a job if it werent for all the PC problems out there!

i dont know.... i use a pc and i have had absolutly no problems.
also you can prevent viruses on a pc by not downloading every program that you see in popups and useing a half-decent anti-virus program like norten, zonealarm, or macafee.

P.S. i know my spelling sucks
