I Hate Macs

Yes the article is funny, and he's an ok writer. But his sentiment is really stupid IMO. He should spend less time on the computer and be less obsessive about it. I mean really, it's a bloody machine.
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."

I thought this[^] was very funny. I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don't use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
I was able to go through life with blissful ignorance of the existence of Macs until these[^] ads started showing up. Really....Justin Long as Mac? That really sells me on the Mac :rolleyes: Makes it plain what their target market is though. If it were me, I would have cast Henry Rollins as the PC and Drew Barrymore as the MAC. Let them ad-lib instead of reading from a script...

The link is funny :) The difference between the left guy with suit and the right guy is just 1005 millons dollars.

PC zealotsusers have been saying that for the last 20 years. Please, find something new. P.S. Mac zealotsusers have been saying the opposite for the last 20 years either.

Yeah, they did a complete 180. Their target market used to for a while be graphic designers like myself, but since the industry had too many people come in that don't know what the hell they are doing and could care less about the culture, that has really lowered the bar for everyone, so clients started to feel that it wasn't worth as much. I think they programming industry had something of the same happen over time as well. But anyway, Apple decided to umm...switch to another group that still had money in their pockets. And that group is IDIOTS! That explains why they haven't added the 2nd mouse button as of yet. Roswell

:laugh: It doesn't really bother me. After all, I sold out the day I let myself be forced to switch to Microsoft from Borland dev products. I do wish MS would comeback with their own ads though...Kurt Russell as PC, John Goodman in a pink tutu as Mac, etc. That's just good clean fun :) Macs are dead to me. LOL

To see the video what Gates said about Apple you have to see the 30 seconds commercial first. http://video.msn.com/v/us/money.htm?g=91254431-cf03-4f4f-8e1d-e9f0f369d981&f=&fg=copy[^]
