Not even an iPhone should be above a car...That's yikes.

There are some MP3 devices out there that easily clear the Pods. Dell Jukeboxes are not a bad idea. Durable, pretty cool looking and plays music. What more do you need?

Apple is selling the 'Mac way of life.'

Per say this article (warning: little kids stay away, yada yada yada) http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net ... =macs_cant

Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

# An artist.
# In a band.
# Unemployed (see above).

After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community? It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole! I feel like Apple is not just selling computers, they're selling a way of life"


Macs are meant to be trend, like MTV. MTV decides what is cool and everyone else than copies to be cool because everyone thinks MTV decides the cool thing. Apple is the same way. They are trying to sell their computers and iPods less than an actual device, but more of a way of life. A style. A trend. Only cool people have Apple products.

^the iMac is a well-realized concept that not too many others have done, but otherwise, I don't see the point in buying a Mac. I'd rather just buy a copy of OS X and run it on the hardware I have (if that wasn't so tricky). The hardware really isn't anything special either (not to mention, overpriced).

The dropped the "Computers" part of their company because they computer sales suck so much. That's why it's not "Apple Computers" anymore. Good computers or not, they're overpriced to hell.

However the two finger scroll thing on laptops is a nice feature I'll give them that.

mac computers would be great if they were like 500 bucks cheaper. There way overpriced mainly because "ooh they run mac osx" and oh shiz that's so much better then windowns, windows is for buisness nerds.

Mac's arent bad, but you can get a windows system that's so much better quality and speed and storage for that price.

Yeah, because you don't have to. They can run faster than any PC can on a half or lesser processor. A 500 Mghz G4 processor was faster than an Ghz pentium when it was released.

Macs are better computers, everything is integrated. It's the reason it runs faster- Apple makes what it runs on, and while that may not seem like a big deal, it is one, because it means that the program developers know the platform theyre making it for through and through.

I'm on an iMac right now, it's my sister's though, 20 inch Intel Core 2 duo, it's the white one. It's the best and fastest computer I've ever used.

Calaway you need to back the f*ck off of being little miss Apple. It is so annoying. You do NOT know everything about the company and their manufactured goods! They're not as heavenly as you think they are and they don't compile everyone's needs.

((((<<< Those news nanos are not cute. I'm embarrased to be gay... >>>))))

And obviously you should stop frontin' on CKid because he has the comebacks wired and he is ALWAYS right about the allegation's he states towards Apple, negative or not.

I apologize for this rant, but you need not act like a smartarse towards every slur put at Apple and Mac...


You need to back off me! I can like and promote Apple if I want to and you have no right to complain about how I feel about another product.

He's not always right, you just think he's sexy [flush]

I don't act like a smartass, it's only the stupid coaster world network of websites where I've ever noticed this ridiculous amount of stupid Apple hate.

Half of you have most likely never used a Mac and you have no idea what you're talking about. i know more about Apple than most of you do, but I'm not bragging about it. If I want to promote Apple, I'll promote Apple, if i want to have the iMac as my signature and avatatar, I will!

I could tell you to stop exaggerating your 'gayness!' You're overly flambouyant and you're putting it all on as a show, you need to 'back the f*ck off" promoting your sexuality like that, and stereotyping every gay person out there.

Your fake personality is really annoying, if you like pink, then you like pink, but you're showing it off on purpose and everybody knows.

There, now I've treated you like sh*t, like it?

Which is why many game and software companies refuse to develop on Macs. I'm right about this. Find me a good computer game that isn't on a PC that is only on Mac. You can't. Also buying virtual PC or whatever and then saying it works IS NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE. Just like downloading a bunch of third party programs and hacking into the hidden files to move music on an iPod IS NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE. Integration is about as useful as a weasel in a cardboard shirt. Since everything is integrated, when one thing breaks, the whole thing breaks and then you have to shell out a gazliion dollars to get a new shiz computer. This is why you don't buy DVD/TV combinations, you buy a DVD player and a TV separately. That way if your TV breaks you haven't wasted a DVD player.

You need to use more good computers and open up your mind to new ideas.

You're right you don't act like a smartass. You act like a blithering idiot. The word "smart" should never be associated with you, even in the negative sense implied in the word "smartass".

I've used them, and that's why I know they suck ass. It's pretty common sense actually. Also have you noticed that more of the hardcore computer people tend to hate them like Matt?

You need to grow the hell up. You look like a wuss and your father would be embarrassed with you if he ever saw your general appearance. Cut your hair, stop dying the whole thing everyday to fit your mood, and man up. The only person who could ever pass as straight and dyed his hair as much as you do is goddamned Dennis Rodman, but that right there is extremely debate-able. If I ever looked like you did my father would take me outside, take a split log off of the woodpile, and hit me with it. If you're going to be gay try to APPEAR TO BE A MAN instead of a goddamned little girl who tried to cut her bangs and failed at an awful angle..

He just thinks you're dumber now that's all. Your real personality is annoying.

Why on earth would we want some overcostly Mac if we can get a ?????????ber gaming rig for the same price with XP and Vista running dual om a 1 Terrabyte harddisk? Apple sucks, its way to expensive. Look beyond them and see that there are some other product which are at least equaly good and likely less expensive.

Also, mac has nog proper gaming, even Sim City 4 for it still costs 50 euros.....

Yeah, because you don't have to. They can run faster than any PC can on a half or lesser processor. A 500 Mghz G4 processor was faster than an Ghz pentium when it was released.

Great, there you are with all this power, and not decent programm to use it with. CAn you play crysis, not you can't, can you play Guild Wars? No. Can you play any decent game with actualy uses the PC? NO

Why would your sister need a incredibly fast PC with core 2 duo anyway, if she has absolutly nothing that actualy uses all this power?

Edit: Just looked up how much a Imac would cost that is on par with my 800 dollar PC, its only costs 3000 dollars, and you can't even game on it!

My personality is fake? Actually, I'm quite gay, and half the WWS people hating me on this site isn't that much different from me either [:)]

And so what if I think CKidmwm is sexy? At least I don't think the Canadian government is...
