A friend of mine is going to buy a MacBook...

[Fuzzy Bob]

[Butterfly]

link to TD ? or give me her phone number

[Travelmate]

Let her learn the hard way.

[kingwilly]

let her.

nothing like learning from experience...

[Stinky]

Whats wrong with Macbook?

[StrontiumDog]

Nothing...but if you are a microshit whore, for some reason you think there is...odd isn't it?

[Butterfly]

Whats wrong with Macbook?

Better than any pc laptop and you can run windows on it as well as Mac OS. Mac os is miles ahead of windows still. Unless you are 12 years old and want to run a load of daft games Mac is superior.

You seems to be obsessed with the notion that Mac users are gay. Maybe says more about your latent tendencies (or maybe open) than it does about Mac's.

She's a dumb chick. A Mac is perfect for her, so let her get on with it.

I agree, let her have it. Dumb users deserve the mac, that's Steve Job market strategy.

[Muadib]

She can get a pink one to match her Hello Kitty backpack...

Poor confused windows users.....keep clicking away at those very informative requests to upgrades and the "Are you sure you want to do this" bubbles for spastics.

Oh, by the way, make sure you pay for and run your anti virus software. it's very good, doesn't interfere with any of your other programs at all. Norton is especially good.

Nice troll.

MS carved it's place in history by capturing the business computing market in the 80's as all business software was developed for DOS, while apple was putting out these... Cute and a wonder with graphics, but Apple missed the target by a long shot... Market share is the name of the game and the business computing environment is much larger than the graphics design segment...



and these

Yes, you're right, kind of reminds me of the early 80's efforts from Amstrad in the UK. However, in the context of when they were marketed, they were quite revolutionary. Microsoft is an institution, but thrives on protectionist marketing, denial of 3rd party expansion development, and ultimately honesty. Of course, they're not into hardware either. Conversely, Apple do the whole thing themselves, and have more innovation and customer awareness than any other company that I know. Sure, knock them if you want, but there are too many more than satisfied customers out there, and their brand loyalty is coveted by all other major players in this sector.

Did you not post once that you have owned several?

That would be a surefire way to confirm her original choice.

Goes along with their microbrains.

Cognitive dissonance runs strong in that breed - I used to care, but nowadays I just enjoy watching people who are not only okay with mediocrity, but but who willing trudge through their own continued mistakes. It's actually quite entertaining.

"The MAC is a terrible computer, overpriced and breaks all the time. I'd show you how great my PC is, but it's off for service to get a virus removed I caught while surfing a porn website...."

Hey, how does the saying go - "som nam nah"

[DaffyDuck]

Look another idiot who thinks it's all about marketshare...

Yeah, tell that to Dell, who's income plunged 54%; or Nokia, and Sony Ericcson, which scored billions in losses. They all have neat marketshares of their respective markets.

Apple, on the other hand, has 35 billion $$ in pure profits, stashed away in their bank, with no long term debt.

Look up 'profit margin' someday, when you have a moment.

describe you and your likes to a tee. Mactards are being laughed at by everyone who is serious about computing (and they usually don't use a mac)

Big fucking deal, so does MS. Nobody denies how successful Apple is at making money. They milk retards and gays, how easy is that ? They are no different than MS, except MS doesn't milk retards and gays (Windows 7 being the exception though)

It's so funny how you just knee jerk spout statements that you haven't even bothered researching.

System X | TOP500 Supercomputing Sites

From the recent Mobius / Microsoft invitation only event at Microsoft's Redmond Campus - interesting what platform folks 'serious about computing' appear to prefer:

Windows Phone Thoughts: Mobius 2009: Fascinating, But Little That Can Be Shared

Computer science moves toward the Mac | The Open Road - CNET News

Plus, last but not least, most of the 'real' scientists I know (you know, JPL and MIT) appears to be using Macs not just as their personal computers, but also in their labs.

Weird, isn't it?

You do need to watch out -- you seem to be falling all too easily through these trapdoors.

But this is the whole argument in a nutshell. There is very little difference between a PC and a Mac. It's kinda like argueing about which is better; a Cox's apple or a Granny Smiths.

^^ non-sense Quack Quack, your silly links is not proving anything. Using Hippies, might they be professor or not, is not a sign that Macs are a serious computing platforms.

Maybe they use Macs as a hobby or send emails or surf porn, hardly a case of anything serious.

Well, we've come full circle, then, you being a useless troll again, and it being pointless, again, to continue wasting my time.

Buh-Bye, then (again). Don't let the ceiling trap hit you too hard, will ya?
