3. Well, the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 can play old games, would you call them 'retarded'?

They can also play new ones...lots of new ones.
I agree, that is more of an easy marketing ploy of selling zero hardware for money, while Macs only have old stuff. And you fail to realize that if you interviewed 1 million random US citizens, most wouldn't want either; most people who buy iPods are 10-25, people who actually own computers are 16-70. Mac's have some stuff, but it just isn't worth the money.

Mac is late. To everything.
1. Ipod was not the first mp3 player, and certainly one of the worst
2. Iphone was not even close to the first cell phone that can do things like OMG INTERNET
3. Mac is way late on getting PC game releases
4. Intel processors

1. Remeber rio? you probably don't because their marketing team had their heads up their asses, anyway they made some of the first real economical mp3 players, they didn't skip and ran on 1 AA battery, yeah, I have a rio 500 and the installation CD that only works with win 98. It was ****ing great.

2. whoever bought an iphone is a total mac fanboy, Look at me! I can watch some of all the youtube videos that I have already seen on bigger and nicer screens! For 600 dollars! And I don't even have a "to do list" That and a 300 dollar phone that runs windows can do basically the same thing without the fingerprints, that is also old technology.

3. Games? I have actually seen one of those stupid Youtube videos boasting a "long" list of games, yeah, Duke nukem 3d ran on dos retard. DOS Besides, unless the developer actually bothered to port it well it is probably filled with bugs from the shotty "i want to suck more money out of people" port.

4. Apple really needs to shut up. They push away users when they do stupid things like "WE HAVE INTELS NOW" Yeah, about that... I already have an intel on a PC, Stop this nonsense about innovation when you were late to even getting the right click function and all you really did was make your mac even more of a pc by putting the same hardware inside.

1. Ask any sane person in the whole continent "Would you rather have an iPod or a Rio?", and you'll never hear "Rio". Come on, my friend's Rio takes 4 minutes to even start up. They don't use it much.

2. A decade-old phone that can run Windows with a 40 pixel screen. There's a word for that now: junk.

3. Well, the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 can play old games, would you call them 'retarded'?

4. There's a lot of stuff that Windows doesn't have that Macs do. Stuff like All-In-One computers that actually work, and first-party programs people use more than once.



So please stop flaming the place, and accept the simple fact that Windows and Macs have their advantages and disadvantages.
1. Lol They practically went out of business because of apples marketting team, which constantly sells outdated technology to consumers.
2. Yeah, well a decade ago we could do practically everything the iphone can do, which is pretty pathetic for a 600 dollar gadget that is as up-to-date as what you call "junk"
3. Yeah, those are called consoles, and their games aren't just ports of PC games that come out years later.
4. What does Windows not have? Anyone who thinks Windows machines crash often are just some retarded mac fanboys who think that by buying a PC you automatically get viruses or some bullshit.

Bootcamp? OH let me partition my harddrive about 5 times to get the best of every popular OS and have super redundant features, or I could just use XP which covers the majority of anything you could want to use your computer for.

I hate macs. I hate them because of their bullshiting and lies in their advertisements.

Yeah, its called "Dow Jones", the group has been systematically causing Mac to lose money for years. But you can't join. And actually a group called "Housing Market" is causing major losses for Dow Jones, but you can't join them unless you want to lose your house.

The sad part is that that's the truth, too.

In my opinion, any company that fails to show both sides of the coin in their commercials to consumers are not who I'd want to deal business with. The one about how easy it is for Macs to hook up with other devices while Windows is a nightmare to do anything comes to mind.

To me, the Mac slogan about how "It just works" feels as if Apple is marketing to a group that has trouble with the most simple of procedures such as turning on their computers and connecting one end of a USB cable to another.

That's hilariously true... I'm pretty sure about 90% of non-industry mac users own macs because they just aren't capable of utilising a pc effectively and always find themselves accidentally right clicking and ending up in property menu's.

The other 10% are nerds who think expensive Macs are cool, but secretly cry themselves to sleep at night when they realise how little you can really do with a mac.

Honestly I see no advantages to macs.... Can someone actually give me an advantage that a mac can offer over any other operating system? - Here's the bit where I have to point out that just because an operating system takes less time to boot up, doesn't make it better.

Actually, it does...in that aspect.
