I don't like Macs.

I'm a PC person, through and through. I do not like Macs period. For production, the screen of a Mac is superb. The colors are very spot on as opposed to the monitors on PCs. That's the only thing that would make me want a Mac. And then I remembered, I'm going into web. Well nevermind then. Macs are gorgeous and sleek, which seems to be the number 1 factor to why people like it. The magnetic AC adaptor is real cool too. But sometimes it makes me feel like the people that buy it are superficial, only going for looks and never for what's on the inside. When I see a computer, I drool over it's internal specs, the amount of RAM, the latest GeForce vid card, the speed of the CPU and the thought of how smoothly my games will run. That's what makes the machine truly sexy, for me anyways. Apple should know this too. They're trying to sell the computers to a specific audeince who obviously values looks more than anything else. Just look at the packaging of their products. The style of their stores.

It's laughable when I hear professors (well so far only one of them have done that) telling me to "get a real computer". That is the most uneducated comment I have ever heard. You are setting a bad example for the rest of the class to become as ignorant as you are. I have people tell me that as a joke, and you sir are not a friend of mine and I know that you are not joking. I never seriously tell people not to get a certain type of computer unless I weigh the pros and cons. Macs are in no way superior to PCs and while I love PCs I cannot say that PCs are superior to Macs either. You would know this if you had any knowledge on computers you biased pig. Professors I respect have told students to consider purchasing a Mac due to the field that they are entering, not under the false conclusion that Macs are "superior".

MY OWN PERSONAL BELIEF is that Macs are inferior and that is all due to my own computer gaming interests. In no way are any of the games that I play (all 1987249 of them -_-) are ever going to be Mac compatible. While I could bootcamp, why should? Why should I when I don't even like the Mac OS? It's just not my cup of tea. And isn't Bootcamp the same as Mac admitting defeat and inferiority to the Windows platform? It makes me laugh out loud when some of my Mac supporting friends shout senseless dribble about how PCs suck, and then they proceed to dual OS Windows. -_- That's just retarded. If Macs are as superior as you say, then why the fck are you using Windows? You would think that if you can bash Windows, your pride shouldn't allow you to use anything but OSX. Same deal with Mac users plugging in the USB dual button mouse. You never see PC users plugging in a 1 button Mac mouse, because it is inferior. Mac users utilize the PC mouse all the friggin time, because the PC components are easier to use, it's just smarter.

Also, the PC OS is much easier to use IMO. OSX has it's perks too, like f10, f9, the finder and those types of things. Built in mic and webcam is fun. The webcam doubles as a my mirror! :D But personally, I like to be able to press delete, and have things end up in the trash without me having to draggy draggy. I'm a webdesigner. I don't like it when people view my webpages in Safari. Safari is by far the worst browser I have ever seen since Netscape. I would fcking rather use Netscape. What a PoS. -_- Even when the coding is validated, I've seen Safari mess it up and throw a wobbly in the viewing process somehow, someway. -_-

Anyways. I'm not a great graphic designer, but I would like to think that I'm not bad either. I've seen some HORRIBLE work produced from students who just bought the latest, newest and most expensive Macbook models. As long as I can produce good work, why should it matter which system I use (unless I'm in production).

I'll have you know, that I am planning to get a Macbook eventually, but just not now while I'm in school. I don't have the money, but that's mostly a lie. While I'm in school I would rather use my money to purchase other things that I want. The mac is very VERY not on top of my priority list. The Macbook is going to be used purely for work and to look professional, while I do everything else on my PC. I surely do not need you to tell me to buy a mac in such an offensive way, second rate professor. There's a reason why you're part time. -_-

I was a little offended when Apple came out with the "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercial tidbits. They're trying to make fun PCs in a gentle and subliminal way. To me, it felt like they can't advertise and sell their computers without bashing the competition. I like justice. I don't like it when people don't play fair. It's a personal peeve. Same with political candidate bashing each other. "Unlike him.. *I* on the other hand will do this and this and this, which makes me the better candidate." stfu. >_< This is why I hate politics and politicians. =( I believe that if you have a good product, you don't need to step on the competition. You'll automatically rise up without underhanded tactics. Quoted from the Safari website "Safari. The world's best browser." WOW! Really?! THE WORLD?! The world is a pretty large place. So how come I've never heard of THE WORLD'S BEST BROWSER before until I tried out a mac? Where are you basing your statement from? This is the load of crap and brainwashing they are feeding their audience who don't know any better. -_- Exaggerate much?! Geez. Ever heard of modesty? That pisses me off more than a little bit. Firefox *IS* slowly working their way up to being the best browser in the world and not once have they ever made such an unfounded statement. Wtf Apple?

Humans and the business world are really really despicable. =\ Ok. I'm done ranting. I need to... finish my cube. T_T
