Mac vs. PC - seriously - who cares!!

Posted on 6:25 AM by Unknown
Columbus had 0.91 inches of rain this weekend. No tornadoes! Odd weather as the tops of the big storms were sheared off at the 20,000 foot level by strong winds and the big big storms just could not grow as expected.
---------------------------------

I got a pet peeve. I complained on Facebook about Apple software and all of a sudden all of the Apple fanboys and girls perked up like fresh meat. 

This whole Mac vs. PC thing. Good Grief, why is it every time someone says I hate Apple software the Mac people start pointing out how much better Macs are and every time someone says I hate PC the Mac start pointing out how good Macs and PC people are stupid for buying PC's. WHO CARES!!! Seriously.

This is like if I complained that my VW Bug was not very comfortable and an Infiniti owner said "Infiniti's is SO much better you should have purchased a Infiniti instead, you are stupid".

Or it's like me telling a person that just took a photo with his iPad that iPad cameras suck and he should buy a Nikon if you wants REAL photos.

I think what bugs PC owners the most is not the Macs, it's the owners of Mac's who continually boast they are better and superior.

NOTE - it's 7:45 and we're having 40mph straight line winds.

One big thing PC owners are ALWAYS being reminded on is Mac Security which is an illusion because it only SEEMS safer - hackers go for bang for buck. Only 5% market share - why bother. Security through obscurity is not really security at all is it?

And speed. Well daaa!! Of course they are faster. OS X is only intended to work with a very limited range of hardware.  Windows is just an operating system, I can attach any hardware I want and it's not always top of the line.

I was reading a forum that focus's  on the two and it's amazing how both sides argue.  However the one thing I found were the people that use BOTH seem stable and not crazed. 

"I use both yet can't see an argument.  They both have particular uses and to judge them with absolutes is like comparing apples to oranges.  I love macs for multimedia (especially with my xbox 360, photos,iTunes etc) but I also love windows for programming."

Personally speaking I believe Macs are incredibility overpriced because they are a big business monopoly and can charge whatever they want.  For ME, bang for buck on what I use a computer for they are not worth it. Sure Mac's are better quality but geez, I'm pretty happy with my desk top computer and it was $400. It runs all of my software from CS5 to games and Excel.  For ME Windows7 is very stable (it's never crashed) , very fast, very customizable.

So are Macs better then PCs?  Are Nikons better then iPads? Is an Infiniti better then a VW Bug? 

Depends on what you use them for.   I have an iPad and an iPhone so I appreciate Apple a lot but just stop trying to shove the OS you like down everyones throat. If someone is CONSTANTLY saying their religion is the best, well good for them, just be quiet and enjoy whatever you believe.

--------------------------------------------------------
I've been hearing about so many drunk drivers getting pulled over with the 4th and 5th DWIs.  When will we get REAL laws about drunk driving.  Is it the Tavern League putting a stop to actually getting tough?   One country has laws where if you get pulled over for the 2nd time, you lose you car.  The government keeps it.  And if you borrowed someone else's car?   To bad, your friend loses HIS car. 

Do you THINK that would stop drunk driving?  What, in Wisconsin you get your license taken away. Big woop!  That's not going to stop anyone from drinking and driving.

Take the freaking car!  238 people were killed  in 2009 in Wisconsin due to drinking and driving.
