Apple Bashing

Name: PC user 2005-04-30 0:17

I went to an Apple store today for their sudden release of OS X Tiger (amazing how many releases that operating system has needed lately). And being a PC user, I had to deal with a bunch of egotistical Apple users jizzing on each other over the Macs, and compensating for their small penis size by boasting about how their computers are the computers of the gods. And basically running around with grins on their faces like they're on crack or something.

Since Mac users can't hold a conversation without bashing PC users at least once a minute, I wonder if there's ways PC users can bash Macs.

This thread is for Mac bashing.

I'll start out with the shit known as iTunes. Any song you download from iTunes can only be used on a iPod, all other media players (including your beloved PSP) won't play them. So Jobs is bascially forcing you to suck his cock and buy an iPod.

1- There is no such thing as a PC user. You have *BSD lovers (they're usually OK to talk to and have a good knowledge of their system), Windows fanboys (and I don't understand how you can love Windows, I had so much problems with it I changed to a Mac), Gentoo fanboys (who can be the worst kind of all, even more annoying than those "gay Mac users" everyone talks about) and the list goes on forever (especially those crazy BeOS lovers, with their dead system ;)

2- No one forces you to buy stuff on the iTunes store. In fact, I don't even understand how someone can buy a "file." I only buy CDs, rip them and transfer them: you'll never have problems this way. The second problem with iTunes is the mp3 format: it sucks and everyone should switch at least to Vorbis (or Flac if you've got a big disk, but I don't), you'll hear the difference very quickly.
If you were talking about iTunes "the program", I agree that it sucks ass, you can't even drop a folder without iTunes "processing the files" (whatever that means) or randomizing the files of the playlists. WinAmp or XMMS are less bloated and serve their purpose: listen to music while iTunes has been written to be a front-end to the store.

I know you're joking but there is a real difference with other "GUIs philosophies." If you write a Mac application and respect the "One Button" idea, your program will be simpler to use and the interface less bloated (this is what I experienced, feel free to criticize). Mac programs are meant to be used not only with one button but: with one click too! Every task is done faster. Of course bash scripting is the "best thing in the world" because it can be modified and tuned to your needs but most people don't even know what an xterm is...

I bought my first mac (a mac mini) a month ago because I needed something that would work right out of the box, it was a real emergency for me (I'm serious) I didn't had the time to worry about what components to get and what distro to choose (even if I would have chosen Slackware) I don't regret it now because it has most tools I needed (the standard GNU set compiled for the G4)

Apple fanboys are stupid to bash PC users BUT half of all the Mac owners I know have at least 3 computers where one is a powerful (and highly optimized) Linux server. Mac OS X is just another *NIX now with a beautiful look-and-feel on top of it.
