Thank God the Apple Corporation don't do things like that, eh?

Niall 10-05-2011 03:57 PM

I will not be pleased if they buyout Skype. :bored:

I don't get how you can hate on Bill Gates considering the amount of charity work he does

I hate his company (bar the gaming and mobile divisions) not him.

I hate Steve Balmer though. God I would love to kick him in the nuts. :bored:

Oh God. Knowing Microsoft, once this goes through they'll milk everything and anything possible for money. :bored:

What does an Apple Fanboy mean? Do you like buy all the products...because you do know, they're just the same products with some features removed on each one, so then you'd have to buy them all to get all the features, oh, and there's iTunes, where you buy the music but aren't able to play it outside of any Apple products. Oh well, never mind, cause Appel r kewl.

I don't buy all their stuff actually tbh. :tongue:

I do think their computing systems are superior to any other on the market though because of the software. OS X is just amazing. I've had my Mac for just about a year now and only crashed on me a handful of times. Its so reliable. :lovedup: I hate Windows now, I'm never going back.

Their products don't have less features either. In fact Apple are usually the first to innovate and add new features. Take Thunderbolt for example - a new method of transferring data to and from a computer at extremely fast speeds. No other computer (that I know of) has it. Only Macs do.

And you can play iTunes content on non-Apple devices. I bought Edge of Glory just yesterday and I put it on my Prē 2 (my non-Apple phone) and it works perfectly. I don't use iTunes though, I think Spotify is much better.

Scarlett. 10-05-2011 04:13 PM

Meh, I've always used Windows and never had a problem, I used Macs in college and they always crashed and deleted my work.

arista 10-05-2011 04:14 PM

"I hate Windows "


You are most wise.

Windows is a slow mess. :bored: I can't stand the way it works either. :laugh:

I can't stand the way Macs work, they're all flashy, but when you really get down to it, they have less support than PC's do, and you can't really modify the base model much, especially if you just have a Mac that is just the Screen

I much prefer having a dock at the bottom and a menu bar at the top. And maybe but then again when you only have around 15% of the computer market compared to Microsoft's 85% then your obviously gonna have less support.

That and you can get Macs where its just the computer you're buying.

I dont get the love for Apple, their products are a complete rip off and they know it, then they go and constantly release new updates meaning the version you have is already outdated within a few months :bored:

That might apply to their gadgets but their notebooks and desktops are another game. They are worlds apart from Windows and dominate virtually every professional environment like music and film production ... everything apart from suits doing spreadsheets, really. They are infinitely more stable and will last a hell of a lot longer than a Windows PC. In my experience you almost never get those strange little things Windows just ... do ... for no apparent reason. Having to click stuff again, crashes, brief little nonsensical pauses, raping your mind for updates and silly ways it can help you, all that nonsense.

If I could afford one I'd have one.
