If you want to see efficiency, I challenge you to see who gets work done faster - you with your Mac and me with my quick-switching quadruple-virtual-screened linux laptop

Same, Linux runs on my 5 year old laptop without a problem and a virtual desktop sure it handy for storing a background program

Macs and Linux are not dissimilar under the hood mainly because they are both based on Unix, they diverted due to licensing, Apple closed their source and created an affront to freedom.

All apple products are horrendously overpriced for what they are.

They are kings of planned obsolescence with a new version coming out and very limited, if any, support for the old product.

Vendor lock in too, if you want an iPod you'd better not want to use anything but iTunes and hence quicktime, both of which are awfully bloated products. Quicktime is possibly the worst video player in existence, even nvlc is better.

The iPad is hilarious, not only is it a fat man's touch but it can only do one thing at once. 200,000 apps, but you can only do one at a time

Plus you can't do anything with their products, anything you purchase is actually hiring and they can take what they like at any time, without recompense.

It's about time people got to the see the truth about Apple and I cannot hide my glee.


It's as the joke goes: "iPad owners: Avoid embarrassment about masturbating in public by putting some porn on your iPad"

but the fact is Windows has far more viruses than Mac. That and PC viruses don't work on Macs. Sure, somebody could create one. But nobody has, which Macs safer.

The main reason Windows has more viruses is because it's more popular. Sure the filesystem and multi-user accounts help but it's largely because they're more popular. If you want to be pedantic GNU/Linux has even less viruses so it must be better. Furthermore why are an overwhelming majority of servers Linux-based?
