Think Different!

Hey I've been wondering how many of you are on a Mac. I'm not, but it seems like Macs have been getting a bit more popular recently.

Hahah that was great, been a Mac user since I was 5 plan on being one till I die.

How come? The interface is odd to me personally.

I'm not knocking it, just wondering.

I use both. Largely I have a Windows machine for gaming and a Mac for almost everything else. I prefer Mac and if I could play the same games on it I'd have no need for Windows (though I could play most of those games on my PS3, but all the friends I game with are on PC, so). Mac is more simple and straight forward. The user interface, design and structure all make sense and are to the point. For example, most applications are delivered via a single file simply dragged into the "Applications" folder which is then self-setup. Deleting an application only requires that you drag the folder/icon to the trash bin. Done. I know my way around a lot of operating systems (I work in IT), but why put yourself through all that extra stuff to achieve the same goal if you don't have to? It doesn't make any sense.

A common misconception about the platform is the one button mouse. People can plug a two button mouse into a Mac and it works similar to Windows or Linux.

Pure and simple bro it just works, if I have the urge to play any Valve games I just load up mah good old WXPSP2 partition in Boot Camp. I haven't booted into Windows for almost a year due to owning an Xbox 360. That will change sometime in the next two years when I put some money into a uber 1337 Hack Mac that can dual boot.

I actually like the interface of Apple computers/notebooks, installed a program that has a similar feel, called ObjectDock. Wish I could find a theme that would change my taskbar to be more thinner and white. Aside from that, I haven't actually used an Apple computer or notebook.

Im just at the point where I dont really have the time or need to invest myself in figuring out the mac interface and setup.  Macs look cool, but im sticking with my PC however narrow minded that seems.  Mainly because of the games i guess.

Btw, great comic! 

I am going to stick my Microsoft OS. (They are both P(ersonal)C(omputers)'s and both have their benefits.)

I'm in the process of writing my own Linux-based operating system, which will be my preferred OS format when it is finished."

That comic was great. Mac commercials annoy me so much, they are nothing but lies and the twisting of the truth in a pathetic attempt to sell Macs. Sadly, uneducated computer users believe the ads, buy the Macs and then regurgitate the commercials claiming that Macs are better than Windows based computers. I applaud Microsoft for not lowering themselves to Apple's level and using attack commercials against Apple to sell Windows.

I'm not going to lie.  My roommate has a Macbook, and that battery gets really toasty.

Can't stand anything Apple makes. I think it's mostly fans of their products that drive me so far, far away.
