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"





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?

I like quicktime because of the simplicity, and the trim and share features. Doesn't support many file types, so I use Perian (a plugin).

It is getting an exclsive version of iOS4, which CAN multitask, so it shows how much you know.

Servers probably run it because of the many nerdy things you can do with it, and the lack of viruses.

I agree about the price tag. Absolutely ridiculous. Unfortunately, that is the price I am prepared to pay for, IMO, a superior product.


Now, I like WIndows 7. But I find it strange how anyone for any purposes, other than Work which I can honestly say I am in love with Microsoft Office 2010 or gaming, that Windows 7 is superior.
