Stupid Video

[44Ronin]

No.

[Powershifter_Whole]

lolz at the video. The best part is that its true.

[Punk in Drublic]

No, you suck. You're obviously about 2 years behind the funny video times. We've all seen it.

Ok man
my bad
you're really cool.

Thanks my e-homie.

Thanks for the repost. ;)

sry :(

[Roar!]

They talk about how hard it is to shut down programs. On macs there a feature called force-quit, never fails. On PCs you gotta go through the stupid end program window that never actually loads.

[Mr. Hadouken]

sry :(

don't worry pretty much everthing anybody posts now has already been done!

[khomel]

Sure. Like he says, "if you know what you are doing..." Windows machines do all kinds of silly crap, even if you DO know what you are doing. At least Macs allow you to actually get your media work done without installing 14,000 drivers and updating them every month when your system crashes again.

Macs are good, and now they run Windows AND OSX. Since the release of about OS10.3, Macs have been superior in every way. The game manufacturers know that people are scared of macs because of all the untrue myths out there so they make games for Windows exclusively. They would run just as well if not better on a Mac, and you wouldn't have to dedicate your machine to be a "gaming only" machine.

At least Blizzard gets it. Warcraft runs great on my iMac, and when I need to download the latest patch it doesn't take hours. I have the patch in a couple of minutes and I'm playing.

I use Windows XP and OSX every day for my work. I bought all my licenses for Adobe and Macromedia (now Adobe) suites for Windows, though, so I don't get to do as much as I'd like to on my Mac. But when I don't have to run one of those programs, you better believe I'm on my Mac. And if I'm on my Mac and I need to run an executable someone sends me, I just pop open my XP virtual machine with Parallels (from my Boot Camp partition) and run XP natively while running OSX at the same time. No wonder Microsoft is giving away VPC 7 for free.

Gotta know the facts before you start ranting...

[Powershifter_Whole]

who cares theyre plastic with chips inside. Get what you like better, don't b1tch to everyone else about it like a -3 year old. WAAAAAH WAAAAAH PCS SUCK! MOMMY!!! WAHHHH I HATE MACS!!!!!! WAHHHH, YOU SHOULD TOO! WAAAAHHH.

[drummerB]

The fact that the PC people copied the whole Mac vs PC idea (which is a Mac thing) in this video says something if you ask me...

Not to mention, I own a Mac and 90% of the stuff he said, I've never seen in my life on a Mac.

THIS, on the other hand..... :)

Yea, but what if you just want the simple goodness of a PC? Put it this way: You want to play games, so you spend $500 on a running PC. Now why would you want to spend $2,000 on a mac that also has windows, when you don't even want the features of a mac? You see? The argument over which one is better to get is useless.

Some people prefer macs.
Some prefere PC's.

now everybody stfu

Finally a computer arguement thread with some great points.

Now if Macs or PC's, one or the other REALLY sucked, then millions of them wouldn't be selling, am I not correct? :rolleyes:

[mdsfjkga55]

I own 2 PC's and plan on purchasing a Macbook. I don't really care either way, just felt like starting up a rumble.

This is why i'm hot. This is why you not.

"I like the handle here. that's so you can attach the chain and use it as a BOAT ANCHOR!"

btw, wtf is that stupid handle for?

[kwillis06]

Wow. Ok, why is it that anyone can post the Mac videos without getting yelled at? Seems to me that a lot of you douchebags should get over yourselves. Nobody wants to hear you preach about a PC or a Mac. Use what you like, it's as simple as that. Don't be stupid and try to persuade everyone that "OMG LiKE U CAN tOt4lly do [insert Mac/PC exclusive activity here]."

I think you've got something here. Why can't everyone else have common sense?

EDIT: I'm not being sarcastic. I hope it didn't come out that way.

actually those mac vs pc commercials came out in the last year, while this video has been around for a while
not to say that i have anything against macs, i just prefer the layout of the PC. but that's probably only because i grew up on a PC.

Apple's had ad campaigns in 2001, with white backgrounds, and the same music, ect. Search "Apple switch ads." This guy is just doing a parody of those old ones, not mac vs pc.

[Nathan.]

I'm pretty sure this video is a joke, not a Microsoft advertisement. Not 100% on that but I'm pretty sure.

It's a joke. Tons of people have made parodies of the old switch ads, and the new Mac vc PC ads.

[Ignodium]

Wow, I watched about half of that before I stopped.

If you don't know how to use an operating system, of course you will suck at it.

I think it's worth metioning that he's refering to Mac OS9, which really WAS
buggy and crashy.

The same is not true about OSX.

[Roar!]

I ****ing hate OS 9

[khomel]

You need to read up on Macs....

You configure a Dell with comparable components, the Dell will cost more. And Macs can open .exe files, as long as you have Windows installed.

Word. OS9 SUCKS balls.

[adzbro]

Linux

Ahh, i see, i thought he meant OS X. Ive had my mac for over a year now, and most of what that guy says in the video is the opposite of what i have experienced, it works fluently for me. Did OS 9 suck that bad? I dont know sh** about the old macs.
If i want to play games, i just use my Xbox 360...wich is produced by Microsoft.

BTW, i have nothing against PCs at all, i just like macs better.


I loved the last part of the video though: "By the way, i edited this video all by myself, and i did it on a macintosh" haha.

[Mastodon91]

Macs for life.

Seriously though, I'm on a PC right now, and I'm comfortable in both of their operating systems. I'm not going to say Macs are better, because each one has their specific quirks. I just enjoy working on Macs more.

And maybe we should have a debate forum, so we can have more silly topics like this.

[Phrygian]

Which one outsells the other?

[Ignodium]

Which one outsells the other?

That's hardly an accurate measurement of which is better.

why is it every douchebag that owns a mac drives a scion?

[Sushi-Inspector]

I don't know anyone who owns a Mac that drives a Scion.

In fact I don't know anyone at all who drives a Scion.

[marinesrx87]

I drive a scion but have a PC, I haven't used a mac since junior high, I'm in college now.

False.

amen, mac pwns the computer world.

[esSHOEco.]

I do have to throw in, what he says is about mac os 9, which I do myself dislike and is very annoying, but in no way is as bad as he portrays it, os x however is phenominal and runs extremley smoothley and I have never had any problems or freezing on my mac. I'v had it for 3 years now and I shut it off maybe once a month and it never fails me!

[44Ronin]

who uses mac os 9 anymore?

[DoubleBassUrFace]

i heard macs where really good

[dubsnack]

AutoCAD no workie on the mac

[44Ronin]

Thats cause Microsoft payed of autodesk

[jt-ocdp]

i use mac osx.

yeah bad repost.

boring.

[Snarekick1214]

Ive had a mac for 5 years and have never had any of the things the video said happen to me.

[Malko]

me either. actually, ive never had a single problem. dumb video.

[guy0012]

haha i love this video!

[Roar!]

who uses mac os 9 anymore?
Those of us with a 1988 Macintosh II with 512k RAM.:)

[mdsfjkga55]

yeah bad repost.




my bad, i apologize for not obsessively keeping up with all of the forum activity over the past year.


I've got nothing against macs, nothing against PC's, just thought the vid was funny.

[TheBananaMan09]

windows realy isnt that great either lol. If you want a good operating system that cannot get viruses or want one that really works well go with linux, but i just recently tried out windows vista and let me tell you its alot better than any other windows operating system it accually is good

[random hero]

Your a ****** I can find no reason why windows or pc's are better espicelly with the intelcore duo and bootcamp you can use. As if you would want to use vista or xp on a mac :confused: :cool: :eek: :rolleyes: . The only downfall is price that's it.

[Aubergine]

Watching nerds fight is funny.

[enigmatic]

This debate is all just personal preference.

I, for one, like to change my crap every now and then, so PC > Mac.

[random hero]

Change your crap?! Whats that mean>

[enigmatic]

I don't even remember making this post. Anyways....

What I meant to say was that (though I've never owned a Mac) is that I like to upgrade my PC, change things around often and what not, and from my understanding Macs are not as easy to do stuff like that with.

[cjbee]

You need to read up on Macs....

You configure a Dell with comparable components, the Dell will cost more. And Macs can open .exe files, as long as you have Windows installed.

Configure a home-built custom PC and it will have a better price/performance ratio than both Dell or Mac.

And you have to give it to Microsoft as well...there are so many possible configurations for PC hardware out there that there is bound to be conflicts along the line with drivers, etc. Apple has it easy...they configure their operating systems to work with the handful of preset configurations they sell. This is why PC's always appear to be unstable, while all the Mac users are always running smoothly. I, personally, hate being limited in my system architecture. If I want a new component, I don't want to pay for an overpriced, propietary peice of crap. I want to choose a brand, and pay the right price for it.

Good response.

[cjbee]

Thanks...it's just what I think. I'm probably going to get flamed up the ******* for it, but whatever. Windows XP is rock solid. I can do everything I want to do on it, and I don't need to drop another grand or so on a Mac just to 'emulate' that. I don't mind having to do minor maintenance - updating virus definitions, drivers, etc. It's child's play. Easy. Takes maybe a half an hour a month - tops. If you can't handle that, then...well, you're probably using a Mac.

My post was about Dell vs. Mac with comparable hardware. I never said anything about a custom built machine.

And of course pre-configured machines from a manufacturer are going to cost more than a home built system. They company has to make money, and most people don't know how (or don't want) to assemble a machine themselves.

What's your point?
