Rabid Mac fanboys vs. Rabid Windows fanboys (oh, and BOE, too)

[:)]

I am now one ;-;

www.apple.com

take a look at everything new, amazing.

[Sophist]

[:)]

Not even. I don't even see a use for a windows computer anymore :/

gaming right?

[haloOfTheSun]

There are only 3 reasons to use a mac:
1. Video production
2. Music production
3. College students who think macs are awesome because they look cool and find those mac vs. PC ads on TV funny.

[Irock]

You just spent a lot of money on a new computer. D=

3. College students who think macs are awesome because they look cool and find those mac vs. PC ads on TV funny.

4. Macs can run windows XP or Vista through partitioning the hard drive, so there's virtually no downside to spending a little extra to get a mac, now. The dual boot software comes standard with the new OS.

Just hold down the ALT key when booting up and it'll ask you which OS to boot up in.

But hey, I have one because I fall into 1 and 2 anyway, lol.

I'd rather just have a mac for 1 and/or 2 and a PC for everything else. But I didn't know you could do that, so that's pretty cool I guess.

[Roph]

It's not the devices I don't like it's their fanboys :/

[haloOfTheSun]

Same here. Except for iPods. I hate those.

[:)]

^^ i have to agree with roph. I don't like it when another company intro's something else, and the apple group jumps in with stupid comments (http://www.engadget.com/)

[Leventhan]

If only there were another company that use the best of both worlds...and make an even better one.

[ahref]

show me something macs can do but windows cant and ill head over there. I always though about getting a mac laptop for school work and sticking with my xp pc

[Moss.]

Okay.

Okay.

Now you made me desperate to get a Mac.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED MACS BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY TO USE AND YOU GET MORE DONE FASTER. NO LONGER SHOULD YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY SEARCH FOR THAT ONE SPECIAL FILTER IN PHOTOSHOP.

[Moss.]

I didn't even know I could do that. :O
That's really gonna come in handy, especially with programs like Photoshop or Finale, which frequently re-arrange their menus with every new version.

So I went to an Apple store to try out Leopard. I was using a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB memory 24" iMac in the store. Me and the iMac got to play with one another for about 30 minutes. I decided that I'm going to save up for a Mac.

A few reasons:

• Spotlight - Spotlight in OS X is better than ANY search tool I've seen yet. It's REALLY fast, it's simple, it searches my whole hard drive, (unlike Vista's start menu search bar) it does math equations without the need for a separate application, and it gives me definitions WITH Wikipedia articles. These things I want and need. All of this is presented to you quickly.
• Help Search - As shown in this video, it's easy to find items in programs and folders. There's really not an easier or quicker way to do it. I'm certain I've spent at least a total of a fraction of a year trying to find things in Windows.
• Spaces - Spaces is a great way to multitask. When using Leopard, I found myself flipping from space to space, all without the need for minimizing Windows. This may not be something everyone would use, but I found it to be a useful feature.
• Time Machine - Backing up files has never been easier. A few times a month I delete a file that I should have saved, and wind up regretting it later. With Time Machine I can retrieve that file EASILY.
• Zoom - I have bad eyes, and I need to zoom every now and then.
• Quiet - The iMac had to be the most quiet computer I had ever used. My computer won't ever shut up, and I have to sleep with this thing on.
• Looks - This isn't really a decider for me, but some of you are all "YEAH MAN I GOT A SUPER CASE WITH A WINDOW ON IT AND IT GLOWS BLUE AND IT'S PRETTY." Macs are, in my opinion, the most gorgeous computers on the market. 1 2 3

The speed is on how much ram you have and what your processor is clocking at. Mac users just seem to be lazier than any other OS user.

I don't think Windows has a program to deal with retardation. ?_?

You've sort of beat windows, or atleast all the people who don't know about Blackbox.

Windows has this feature. !_!

Not quite the same thing, since Mac's search features search help files from other programs, too. It also searches menus, and lots of other things not included in the "all files and folders" category.
Basically, windows can only search for physical files and objects, Macs search for words anywhere and categorizes them and make them easy to browse through (which we all know windows doesn't do, because when you search for all files and folders it just blindly throws them into the windows as it finds them.)

And just because Windows takes extra and unnecessary work doesn't make Mac users lazy.

It makes Windows users have to do extra and unnecessary work.

It's a computer. It's supposed to make things easier for you. That's why we buy them.

That's an INCREDIBLY weak argument for something that's just more convenient.

If you actually bought a Windows machine because you knew it would be more cumbersome and difficult to use, I'd say YOU were retarded.

• Spaces - Spaces is a great way to multitask. When using Leopard, I found myself flipping from space to space, all without the need for minimizing Windows. This may not be something everyone would use, but I found it to be a useful feature.

I don't know about Blackbox. I doubt many others do, either.
Spaces comes with the OS, without any extra downloading or searching obscure internet forums (like this one) to find out about it.
Oh, and you can turn it off if you don't like it.

• Time Machine - Backing up files has never been easier. A few times a month I delete a file that I should have saved, and wind up regretting it later. With Time Machine I can retrieve that file EASILY.

You don't understand. Restore point on Windows is for system settings. It says right in the screenshot you posted that it deals with registry settings and technical junk like that.
Time Machine lets you go back and restore deleted files and documents.

You should at least understand the argument before trying to jump in.

• Zoom - I have bad eyes, and I need to zoom every now and then.

Windows has this feature. !_!

And so does Mac. !_!

• Quiet - The iMac had to be the most quiet computer I had ever used. My computer won't ever shut up, and I have to sleep with this thing on.

Nobody has to build a quiet Mac. They're all quiet. Just buy one. Hey, it's quiet.

And here's where you ran out of arguments.

Look, dude, if you don't like Apples, then don't buy them. I'm here defending Apples while I'm posting on my mom's Dell. I use both, and admit some handle certain things better than others, but that's no reason to just blindly hate on the system.

Edit: Also calculator

The search bar in the start menu doesn't search your whole hard drive. Using spotlight is faster than having to open a new window, configure how you want your search, and search. You don't need calculator on OS X, all you have to do is type it in the spotlight bar, and you instantly get results. It's quicker and more simple.

• Help Search - As shown in this video, it's easy to find items in programs and folders. There's really not an easier or quicker way to do it. I'm certain I've spent at least a total of a fraction of a year trying to find things in Windows.

I don't think Windows has a program to deal with retardation. ?_?

It's faster than having to search through every sub-menu to find a render in Photoshop. I guess only retarded people want to get things done faster? --

Link to a video of it. Besides, nothing beats built in functionality.

• Time Machine - Backing up files has never been easier. A few times a month I delete a file that I should have saved, and wind up regretting it later. With Time Machine I can retrieve that file EASILY.

That doesn't back up files, it just backs up all of your system files and programs. With time machine I can back up single files without restarting.

• Zoom - I have bad eyes, and I need to zoom every now and then.

Windows has this feature. !_!
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Because we all want big sidebars for zooming, right? In OS X you can zoom the whole screen in and out. That's just a seperate sidebar, window that displays everything near the mouse, but zoomed in. OS X's is much more useable.

• Quiet - The iMac had to be the most quiet computer I had ever used. My computer won't ever shut up, and I have to sleep with this thing on.

But you KNOW these are quiet before you buy them. [/list]

It makes Windows users have to do extra and unnecessary work.

It's a computer. It's supposed to make things easier for you. That's why we buy them.

That's why you click on the Name, In Folder, Size and Type tabs to organize them by which one you click on.
I don't see what else it could pull up, I wouldn't want Mac pulling up every document file because it has the word in it.

That's an INCREDIBLY weak argument for something that's just more convenient.

If you actually bought a Windows machine because you knew it would be more cumbersome and difficult to use, I'd say YOU were retarded.

Searching for Penumbra.exe would only bring up penumbra.exe and any file labeled as such.

I don't know about Blackbox. I doubt many others do, either.
Spaces comes with the OS, without any extra downloading or searching obscure internet forums (like this one) to find out about it.
Oh, and you can turn it off if you don't like it.

Well obviously you can turn it off, I don't see why you need to argue that point when I said that OSX had that advantage over Windows.

You don't understand. Restore point on Windows is for system settings. It says right in the screenshot you posted that it deals with registry settings and technical junk like that.
Time Machine lets you go back and restore deleted files and documents.

You should at least understand the argument before trying to jump in.

It doesn't just reverse the "technical junk," it restores everything about your computer down to the last file to the day you set it.

And so does Mac. !_!

Well it seems we are at a Mexican standoff here !_!

Nobody has to build a quiet Mac. They're all quiet. Just buy one. Hey, it's quiet.

Most computers are quiet. Many of them just get louder as the fans wear out.

And here's where you ran out of arguments.

You could say I ran out of arguments, but what am I going to say to someone just saying "Macs r prtty othr computrs r gay"?

I don't blindly hate on Macs, I use an iPod every day. I'm just tired of Mac users Irock sitting here blasting propaganda EVERYWHERE about how he is getting a mac and how much better they are. If everyone wanted to know the features of a Mac, they would look them up, not just browse around a RPG Maker forum to find them.

You don't need calculator on OS X, all you have to do is type it in the spotlight bar, and you instantly get results. It's quicker and more simple.

Yes it does search your whole hard drive, there is nothing else to search!

It's faster than having to search through every sub-menu to find a render in Photoshop. I guess only retarded people want to get things done faster?

I don't use Photoshop, so if you could give me a more applicable example I might be more inclined to believe you.

Link to a video of it. Besides, nothing beats built in functionality.

I would, but I don't think there is a video example of it, and when I use FRAPS the files come out to be a GB and I don't know how to shrink the file size down.

That doesn't back up files, it just backs up all of your system files and programs. With time machine I can back up single files without restarting.

It does back up all your files. @_@

Because we all want big sidebars for zooming, right? In OS X you can zoom the whole screen in and out. That's just a seperate sidebar, window that displays everything near the mouse, but zoomed in. OS X's is much more useable.

I'm sorry you are blind, you can expand the zoom to the whole screen.

But you KNOW these are quiet before you buy them.

Most computers are quiet, i'd imagine that you could just spend about 5 to 10 dollars buying a new fan incase one starts screeching.

Here's what Irocks' doing:

I like Macs, and this is why.

Here's what you're doing:

I like Windows, AND MACS ARE FUCKING USELESS MACHINES AND I FUCKING HATE THEM DIE MACS DIE






I mean, every time somebody says "I like the Mac because it does this," why do you feel the need to contest it and turn it into an argument?

Irock's done nothing wrong. You're the one being a douchebag for no reason, here.

[Sophist]

Here's what Irocks' doing:

I like Macs, and this is why.

Here's what you're doing:

I like Windows, AND MACS ARE FUCKING USELESS MACHINES AND I FUCKING HATE THEM DIE MACS DIE

I disagree. I'm giving evidence to back up my statements as well? I'm trying to argue, and I'm clearly not just saying "HAET MAC EVERYONE WHO USES THEM MUST DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH BECUZ THEY R ALL FGTS"
