Mac's are for noobs

Yea, what he said.

Yup. The reason why no one bothers making viruses for Macs because there isn't really any information on it. I think Macs are more for businesses instead of gaming.

Norton detects everything as a virus or spyware...It detected Enemy Territory as adware, and never let me play it. Then, I switched to Avast...

Yeah, but a large amount of computer owners are not very tech savvy at all. For example, my mother reads pretty much any email she gets it, she subsribes to useless "joke" emails and stuff like that, and her computer has been infected numerous times. The mac would be a good solution for someone like my mom.

yup, for the noobish. (no offense to your mother)

This reminds me of the time when I saw a bunch of protesters on a street corner, but as I drew closer I saw they were all holding signs saying stuff like "macs are for noobs"I laughed so hard.Bill900

well its true;)

Well you sure don't have spelling knowledge.

The only way you'll get virus' is if you are on limwire and download a blatan virus (your own fault)

You are looking at porn and you download porno.exe (again, your own fault)

Someone random sends you a random file over msn and you accept it and exec to exe (again, your own fault)

First thing I do when i turn my pc on is ctrl+alt+del, close down AVG anti virus and start CS, then when i get bored i close CS and spend the rest of the day browsing the internet and on msn... AND WOW I DON'T GET ANY VIRUS'

and "zomg no spyware" - hardly a selling point to people who know anything about computers, maybe that's a selling point for my grandparents who don't have a clue about computers.

plus with a pc you can run linux and linux is where its poppin at.ghored654321

Actually, you can install linux on a mac, and OS X is built from BSD unix.

That being said, they are too expensive, don't have enough hardware customization flexibility (at least, the laptops), and generally are for noobs. :P

I think some one is a hater cuz he(she) cant find an iPhone :(L8erSquare

the iphone is a garbage pda. first of all it uses wifi to get on the net. so you need a router neer by . with better pds(which are cheaper) you also get video support and it uses 1x or EVDO to get on the net so you get connection everywhere

i havnt had to do any updaets since i got os x 4 years ago and i get updates for windows every month or so.adams_73717

I run XP and OS X, and they both ask to download updates pretty regularly. If you haven't downloaded an update in four years, you should click on "System Update" under the apple menu. :D

Not quite correct - the iphone uses wifi if it's avilable; otherwise it uses EDGE for data access.

Using Windows is like headbutting the wall... My Mac is very fast, despite not having amazing specs, thanks to OS X. It's simple to use and never crashes.SolidSnake35

iv never had windows crash on me sometimes itl chug for a few seconds then go back to normal and thats when im listening to music on limewire downloading large files(3-4) and doing a lot of internet consuming tasks

Photoshop runs 5x better on a mac and with a mac you can run linux or windows or any OS for that matter. Also you lost all credibility when you said Linuz is where it's poppin at. I think you were saying Linux is good which means you know nothing about what you're rambling abouto_sausage

Agree. I'm a graphic designer, tech geek. All the adobe programs as well as Maya runs way more stable on Mac than on PC. OSX it's a lot more organized and pretty. I do have Windows for gaming and will never trade it.

It's been a while since Windows has crashed on me. The last time it happened was I think when I messed up some drivers.

Because nobody is going to steal credit card information from something nobody self respecting would use.

that was true about 5 years ago, but now it's completely false for high end designers since PC now gets the cutting edge hardware first, and most monkeys can be taught how to do a hardware upgrade. If you want a the top end CPU in a mac you have to buy a whole new mac. Also more and more projects are requiring custom software, and sometimes even hardware which you can only do on a "PC". The only reason designers even used Macs in the first place was because it was the only OS that supported 64-bit processing which saved countless hours in rendering. Now most are migrating back to PCs which have superior hardware, and the OS is just as good (or better in some cases) until some stupid employee downloads the "freeXXXpasswords.exe" file.

Ok, let me explain it better. You make viruses and when somebody goes to your website, they get a virus. The virus seeks out personal information like credit cards, etc. Now, how will you make more money? The virus is for window users, and of the jillions of people using windows, you get half a million. You put it on mac, what, 50 people in the world use mac? you get 50 cents the most. See my point?

I use a MAC at school, for art-based work. I had a pretty closed mind when I first started using it, but now I do find them quite easy to use and dont really have any problems with it in terms of crashing or viruses or anything like that.

Although I'd never use it for gaming.

Iphone? didn't maddox shut you guys up yet?

ipod? an MP3 player with a $60 extra price tag?

I'm really scared

MP3 player with a $60 extra price tag?stevendiep_100

[QUOTE="stevendiep_100"]MP3 player with a $60 extra price tag?SolidSnake35

It's not because of the brand, it's because of the advertisements. If Apple never advertised the iPod, it could be a lot cheaper...
