I am a lifetime PC user and this blog has made me a little happier today.

I finally have some people to talk to about my completely rational hatred for the Mac negative advertising campaign...

Not but a few years ago I was a happy little boy, didn't even know much about Macs. Then these commercials started airing and for a while, I didn't care too much, but after so long of having to sit through this crap, I have to draw the big red line! Enough is enough! My hatred for these dumb advertisements has grown to immeasureable levels!

I have a little message...

To: Everyone Else
From: Me

"I'm a PC and I don't change for anyone!!!"

Mac's, I hate them, I enjoy reading about people hating them. They are like the little kid you just want to kick in the head.

I'm a freelance developer and I shudder every time I turn up to a business and have to use a mac.

I want to go in and get the work done but instead I'm faced with a million different bits of information on the screen at once, all dancing about in pretty pirouettes.

I like to open a window, complete some work and close it again. Simple.
I like to find the toolbar/information bar/menu I'm looking for because there's only a few on the screen to choose from.
I like have two (if not more) mouse buttons.
I like the fact that I'm forced to understand my machine a little more.
I like the fact I'm not paying for a gayman's dresser mirror design.
I like to be able to play games after work and sometimes during.
I like to be able to run little known apps.
I like it that I can put liquid nitrogen pumps in my computer just to see what happens.
I like that I understand the OS that runs most of the worlds technology and that it's flawed but open to suggestion.
I like it that my cursor is an hour glass when it's thinking, not a rainbow.
I like it that it's drab and industrial.
I like it that sometimes it's as messy as my own life and I have to fight and understand to improve and that eventually I'll be in total control.

I don't like windows but I really hate macs!

All I have to say is that it took Apple 10 years to design OSX and after failing many times they finally decided to use a free-bsd system to base their own operating system off of. No matter how many things windows decides to use to better their system that they got from a Mac, the entire mac OS is copied from something that was already made. The WinXP system was developed in 1999 and has continued to prove an outstanding operating system throughout the years that most people still rely on to do things such as e-mail, web browsing, or typing a document. The fact that OSX is being compared to a system 8 years older than it just goes to show that it's a terrible product in the first place. They had 10 years to come up with a product and its only slightly better in some ways, if that.

I hate the way Apple says it doesn't get virus.
Thats because Mac users don't have enough brains to write them.

Listen, I am a long term Mac user, (since OS 7), and I've used PC's for this and that over the past 15+ years (uggh). Every time I use a PC, without fail, every time, I look at the screen, and I just think "Why?" Why do people buy these things? Things are just laid out inefficiently. It's not an inviting experience. "I have to do this this and this just to do that?" Apple has continued, since it's very inception, to bring innovative, industry-leading designs to the table. The mouse, for example, was a first for personal computers in 1983 on the Apple Lisa. (As for the second mouse button, Macs have had a second mouse button for quite some time, you just can't see it. The mouse knows where your finger is, and behaves accordingly. In fact, the new mouses even have a scroll where you just run your finger anywhere on the mouse and it scrolls and slides and all sorts of stuff. No more wheel.) The Apple Lisa was also the first to use things called "windows" and "icons" on a digital "desktop". The Apple Newton was a touch-screen PDA years before Palm Pilots, The PowerMac G5 was the first 64-bit personal computer, the Apple iPod revolutionized portable music as we know it, just as the Apple iPhone is doing with cell phones right now. I could go on for pages, but i'll just lay it out:

Apple invented a lot, but not everything. And Macs aren't perfect. But they are intuitive, efficient, reliable and easy to use, own, and maintain. And if they happen to be good looking and chock full of extras to make your life easier, well, that's just a plus. And if people want to be passionate about their brand, that's a plus too. The fact remains that you would not have Windows as you know it if Apple hadn't done it first, and done it better. I welcome any pro-PC argument you have. I really would like to hear what you have to say. But please come at me with more than a mouse button and a commercial. If you really are happy with a PC, then by all means keep it! I wish it was the way it was 15 years ago when NO ONE had a Mac. I like it that way. But one day you'll decide that you're sick of loading drivers and doing virus scans waiting for things to load and giving Vista permission to do anything. You'll just want it to work. When that day comes, you'll get a Mac. And if that day never comes, I really am sorry. I don't know one person that has gone from a PC to a Mac, and then back to a PC. Do you?

Your evidence that Windows Systems > Mac ones:
*nothing here*

All you did there was rant on about how you dislike Macs without providing any actual evidence about why you think that. Well done on the useless post.

1) You pay more for a mac compared to an equivalent PC.
2) If you want to create a application for the mac, you have to use a ****ing spesific programming language for it (Objective-C) while x86 (windows, linux) have no such restrictions.
Sure, you can program it in java but then all you get are simple tetris games.
3) There's none/few games for mac because of #2.
4) If you run boot camp or emulate windows, that adds an overhead which means a performance hit. Which in turn means you get less out of the hardware.
5) There's less malware for macs, since it has the highest market share which means the malware will affect the most users.
If Mac OS X was the OS on the top of the hill, it'd be just as bad there.
6) I can't manually upgrade the hardware on my mac since it's locked to whatever Apple wishes.
I can upgrade WHATEVER I want on my PC, and I save fortunes doing it myself plus I get to customize it to whatever I want, not to whatever Apple wants.


'Windows hogs more memory?'
Give me a ****ing break.
If you had half a clue on how computers work, you'd know that you can tweak and turn off whatever features you do not need. That's the beauty of it.

'Windows takes 5-6 hours to install and I have to format.'
JESUS CHRIST ARE YOUR RETARDED?
If your buddy bought a PC with windows pre-installed (Which he didn't, since he'd get yet another nice discount), you'd find no problems at all.
That's like saying

How the minions use reversed labels to trample the Apple uprising:

It's so desperate it begs compassion ...
It's so obvious it doesn't really need revealing ...
And it won't stop the consumer uprising this time around ...

PC users have always chosen to follow the mainstream and felt threatened by anyone who dared to think different. And even back when it was still a question if you should buy a Windows PC or a Mac they used the reversed label psychology as a means to get people in line and start marching to the loudest drum: Microsoft. These days it has come down to a different choice: do you want a PC that can only run Windows, or do you want a Mac which can run Windows and Mac OS X. Pick one and then we'll get back to that later on, after we have revealed the reality about fanatics versus the main stream distortion field.

Here's how they did it and how they use the same trick on iOS users today.
