just watched dr strangelove, i want to talk about it noooww

[Plug Drugs]

what about non-upgradeable hardware,
overpriced hardware,
a clunky esoteric interface designed with the intention of impressing investors and not catering to the user's best interest,
an overall lack of compatability with software
poor tech support and a difficulty (if not impossibility) in repairing it once shit turns in to a state of disarray

like abercrombie and fitch, getting a mac is just paying for a brand name. They suck, i hate the shit out of them
their response back in 2000 or whenever it was to windows XP is unforgiveable, that thing they created was an uncooperative undisciplined monster

"we better create something to compete with windows if we don't want out corporation to fade into obscurity, then we'll give our product to elementary schools for free so students grow up accustomed to our shitty senseless interface"

what about non-upgradeable hardware,

it's a fucking laptop. I can change the RAM and the hard drive, like any other laptop. I can use the same RAM and hard drive as any other laptop.

overpriced hardware,

The only manufacturer who comes close on build quality is Lenovo and their prices are about the same

a clunky esoteric interface designed with the intention of impressing investors and not catering to the user's best interest,

It has a little search bar at the top, as soon as you type 3 letters of the name of a document or program it pops up. That's not clunky, it's brilliant. Ripping it off for the search bar in Windows 7 is the smartest thing Microsoft ever did, and now it's gone in 8. Anyone who says OSX's interface is 'clunky' while reciting the virues of the fucking start menu is an idiot or just looking to bitch for bitching's sake.

an overall lack of compatability with software

Just about everything for linux gets ported to mac, if anything it has a much larger software library than windows if you want to do anything other than playing games. I don't want to play games on a laptop, that's what I have a desktop for.

poor tech support and a difficulty (if not impossibility) in repairing it once shit turns in to a state of disarray

I've had them apart and used to service laptops for a living. They're no more or less easy to take apart and swap parts on than your average laptop.

like abercrombie and fitch, getting a mac is just paying for a brand name.

More like buying a mercedes, you're paying for quality along with the supposed prestige.

They suck, i hate the shit out of them

...for no apparent reason. That's a lot of anger to be carrying around about something dumb like a brand of computer.

their response back in 2000 or whenever it was to windows XP is unforgiveable, that thing they created was an uncooperative undisciplined monster

I don't know that they responded to XP at all, mac os has been on the market since 1984, windows was created to compete with it. microsoft reacts to what apple is doing, not the other way around. always have and likely always will.

"we better create something to compete with windows if we don't want out corporation to fade into obscurity,

if you're talking about the change to osx then you have no idea how incredibly powerful and standards compliant a *nix system is. giving up on 'classic mac' and switching to bsd was the smartest thing they've ever done.

you don't remember the "one button interface" they added so it would be 'less confusing than a PC's two-button interface'? As if the average person is too stupid to understand what two different buttons will do (i get my lefts and rights mixed up durrrr), so now everyone has to suffer.
If Apple had it there way, we'd all be paying a monthly fee for their gay shit that would do little more than check facebook and edit photos because we're all SUPPOSED to be out planting trees and calculating ways to reduce our environmental impact

I'm not here to defend their marketing, I think it's dumb and don't pay any attention to it. I'd like to kick that asshole from the 'mac vs pc' commercials in the cock, and also the asshole advertising exec who decided "pc = windows" when really "pc = personal computer" and every single macintosh in the world except for the xserv is a pc. You want to get upset about the commercials, fine, I'll agree they're crap. But you haven't made one argument about the technology, hardware or software, that was informed or true. Every one of your facts was pulled directly out of your ass.
