So I find the fact that I'm replying to this thread from my MacBook Pro mildly amusing. I also find it amusing that I'm running a VM of Windows 7 (for some crappy Visual Basic app) and a terminal session where I'm renaming 15,000 photographs based on their EXIF data using a simple shell script.
While I can agree the hardware is priced more than I'd like - I find the flexibility to be quite useful. Oh well, thank goodness we have options and aren't forced to buy what other's deem appropriate. And the hippie should've defended himself with an aluminum unibody Mac. Far superior torsional strength.
And might I enquire to the author where to buy $15 routers and $100 Apple products? And it's skunk weed, not skank - but then again, I don't know your sister.
And ridiculously huge computers are asinine. My gaming PC is a 12x12x24" Shuttle.

My computer is HUGE. Seriously, you can fit three regular computers including cases if you cut them into proper shapes... Yeah. I call it "The Mammoth", mostly because it's covered in thick brown hair and is frozen in a block of ice. Some of that wasn't true. What I'm trying to say is, my computer could easily kill someone, though I'd never throw it or use it as a weapon, even though it did break, we installed Windows XP fresh and now I can't connect to the internet. Holy crap, this could end up as a post that's actually a question. HOW MAKE I TWO LIL' NETWORK WINDOWS ON TOOLBAR GO VISIBLE AND CONNECTED??? 
Case and point, Mac's are for people who forget how to turn their computer on, while PC's are for important and successful people.
Agreed. The first article I actually FULLY read. This also saddened me a bit; this particular article, not me never reading a full article.dodokiller88 said:
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks miso soup tastes like fish ass. I know too many weeaboos who take any shit that comes from the land of Nippon to be like gold bullion on a silver platter and would gladly be penetrated by tentacles. Miso is terrible.
The article was amazingly entertaining, but I think the Mac vs PC debate is a little overblown.
My background is both that of a gamer and programmer, and I wasted several semesters learning graphic design (the design itself wasn't a waste, but the school... eh, it's a long story). So I have reasonable experience with both platforms.
Each one has its pros and cons. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses.
For my graphic design work (or my husband's film editing) Mac does seem to be a bit more intuitive and easier to use. It seems to be more geared for the artist in general. Apple also provides a great synergy between their various devices, making it easy to keep them in sync.
PCs are great for gaming, programming, and basic home use. A better native office suite and programming IDE (i.e. MS Office and Visual Studio) than anything I've seen on a Mac, if peripherals and other devices can be a little clunky to deal with.
But really, I feel this battle is trying to argue which is better: the hammer or the screwdriver. Each one has it's place, and a good handyman will know his way around with both. Or to put it in a gamer perspective, it's like comparing an RTS to an FPS. Both are good depending on what you want to do.

Wow. I've never read this column before, so I had no idea what to expect. At first it looked like a real story that was going to end in the usual "Macs are overpriced" point, and I was like, meh. And then I kept reading and it looked like it was going to turn into a story about how Macs are overpriced AND all the stereotypes about their users are true. And then it crossed the line a second time [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrossesTheLineTwice] and it got hilarious.
And then I came here and found generic Mac bashing from people who apparently took the story too seriously. Big surprise.

And without an arm too, this is the sort of person you should look up too.Abedeus said:
Remember in the civil war all weapons were two handed, this dude survived with one arm.
I personally like macs, the way they run is nice, they are just too expensive for the hardware you get in them.
Macs do attract the crazy hippies though. Not sure why, Windows is the one with the recycle bin, mac has a trash can.
Way to go, teaching that hippie not to mess around with people who build their own computers!

My argument is not invalid, Marion Cox's ancestor was the only survivor of a special forces unit and he survived with only one arm... heard it before?Abedeus said:
yes, Marion's ancestor is Revolver Ocelot.
I didn't know either of my male grandparents, one was a bank robber, the other one I don't know.
That is the best sentence I've heard in a LONG time!Marion Cox said:
Love your stories man, keep writing! I don't know if any of them are true (I'm not implying they are not), but it they are, you have some very interesting life.
