Mac vs. PC: Magazine

[resdudeornardude]

mac is bias

[LuxueuxLin]

so is pc o_O it's all competition.

[resdudeornardude]

Pc is decent enough to not involve the other company when it does a commercial.

[LuxueuxLin]

It's the product that matters, not the commercial advertisements.

And if you saw the recent PC commercials, they just bash on how expensive Macs are, and they broadcast their commercials nearly 10x more than Apple's commercials.

[RyuDarragh]

Ah, but it's a very *personable* computer :P

[RyuDarragh]

Hahaha.. well, if a Mac isn't a Personal Computer, then what is it? A toaster with delusions of usability? :P Technically speaking, it should be "IBM Compatible Personal Computer" or "Apple MAC Compatible Personal Computer" (and that's not counting all the myriad SUN and even odder PCs with other than x86 cores, all of which, if you have them in your home, are "Personal Computers", or "PCs").

[rockinloud14]

what makes a pc a pc is that you can change hardware. you can only upgrade ram and your hardrive space on macs. so no, mac is not a personal computer.

[WorseGoodNews]

if thats the case then most laptops aren't pcs, also by that definition, the mac pro is a pc

[andrewskaterrr]

that's funny, cause PCWORLD said the mac was better

[keytoothed]

OpenGL is the way of the future. Direct is a Dinosaur on a bicycle. If you don't know that, or the difference, or why a PC owner has to shell out bucks for cards because his shitty OS is so inefficient is devours his system resources, well, you're Bill's Bitch. Go Linux. Go Mac. Or stay shackled.

[scrag10]

OpenGL works for windows too.

[RyuDarragh]

I should hope so. Second Life uses OpenGL :P Mac vs. PC ? Meh.. as I've proven over and over to friends who see my setup, there isn't anything you can do with one platform the other can't do. PCs (which Macs *are*, by definition.. and now are by hardware) are just tools. People who fight about which is better are also tools. For me, PCs simply have more software and I don't need to sell my soul to M$ to write for their OS the way Apple says you must.

[scrag10]

I am glade you said Macs are PC's :)

everytime you say that a Mac user gets his wings (aka dies)

[LuxueuxLin]

Not true. I correct people with that saying all the time, and I still use my Mac PC. I use a Windows PC quite frequently as well. I am still using both, and I ended up liking my Mac more.

[PR1M33V1L]

Hi, im a pc and I run the fucking world so kiss my ass. Fuck off with your shitty Mac elitism. Cocks

lol dongs

[reinhardt3293]

What a typical crude and foul PC user.

Your attitudes and disgusting nature are even worse than your PCs.

[ZaxNorris]

Look, man, PCs are just a little more brutal than Macs. Not saying better, just saying that a lot more efficient. As are the users...they don't see a reason to NOT yell 'cocks'. Being a PC user, I don't see a reason not to...Macs are just less blunt than PCs, just like the users are a lot less blunt.

[hinnerkopfcan]

lame

[GranitW]

PC Magazine has put the iMac at the top for the best personal computers for a couple of years now. They also say that OSX is the most powerful operating system in the world

[RoboX3]

That's just an outright lie.

[GranitW]

Well if that's a lie than I guess the PC magazines articles I read are lies. Normally when ever there is something about Macs in PC Magazine a website like Apple's or Macdailynews posts a link and a summary to it. And as far as I've read on pcmagazine when they do their survies or reviews the iMac is always the number 1 personal computer. Except for 2003 which was the PowerMac G5 -> pcmag dot com/article2/0,1895,1383036,00­.asp

MAC is for BARBERS!

[fiddlesticks971]

how long does it take you to plug in a pc daniel last time i checked there was like 6 things the monitor into the computer the keyboard speakers mouse and then plug it into the wall. lol

[GranitW]

fiddlesticks971: wait pc still have speakers out side the Case. Man I've been in the mac world far to long. Apple has had speaker and a microphone built-in since about the Macintosh in 1984. Now they have a micro video camcorder built-in.

[iwog]

OMG built in!!! but wait i want some better ones how do i do that?

[danielrc2]

microsoft copies everything from apple like tabs for internet explorer 7 widgets kebords that light up etc microsoft sucks basically and mac is way better also macs dont have to worry about viruses and rarely crash or get frosen they just work

[lostworld2420]

Microsoft did not copied internet explorer 7 from apple they copied it from fire fox. mac have the same chances of getting viruses as Microsoft. Both Microsoft and mac copy form each other, so it does not matter there are pro and cons for both OS.

[well1howdy1doo]

apparently 'pc world'chose its favorite os-what a surprise!it is NOT windows:http://www<dot>pcworld­<dot>com/article/id,120646-pag­e,1/article<dot>html

[ichithekiller77]

MACS

enrh

gaai

alpt yy

[Katana314]

HAH, awesome. I love how mac took only one review for an entire commercial. Take Prey, one of the year's top FPSes, by contrast. When the demo starts up, you are literally PLASTERED by quotes from reviewers saying the game "KICKS TOTAL FREAKING ASS!!!"

[stephan1014]

ummm...AND BLACK! stuuuupid

[aphixe]

DjShilly, Pc's have Avid. lets see "I want to see what a mac can do?", Simple a mac is a stupid mulitmedia computer, videos and music. that it. Games? well, only ones that are like 5-10 years old. Besides if u know how to set ur pc up. it never crashes and has more software.

[well1howdy1doo]

first off you are an idiot-with bootcamp all your precious little windows crap runs also on the mac but i forgot that you live in the pc bubble with all you spyware,adware and viruses!well-have fun with that psycho from the gates motel

[Criscoballl]

lets just agree that macs are for people who don't want to spend months learning how to fix all the problems that are thrown at pc users, and also enjoy competent video, music, photo, website editors out of the box

and PCs are for people who don't want to spend the extra money, and/or they don't mind running virus scans or norton's updates

but i'm a mac user.... and loving every minute of it

[PokeOnic]

Also PCs are for people who like new and up to date games and Macs are for people who like to play 5 or 6 of the arcade games you could play on PC about 5 years ago.

[GranitW]

PokeOnic, I will just say that I am unbias, but I am getting sick of this. PCs and macs have equal amounts of games, I should know I have a ton of New games for my mac that just came out for the PC. The difference is what the games uses for it's graphics the Doom series for instance uses Opengl so it is faster on the mac, while Civilization IV Runs faster on a PC with DirectX.

[DjShilly]

don't you see what apple is doing? Everyone knows about macs. The downside is the PC users have turned ignorant and the Mac users are assholes. Because of a damn commercial. They have to make a new one. As for me... I'm trying to see if Mac can do what I want it to. I wanna try out Avid first.

[JimmyAndCo]

waste of time and money?!?

 only the ignorant and simple minded speak such lies

[danielrc2]

i agree

[arctrooper1234567891]

the macs are a just a wast of money and time

[danielrc2]

no there not when you buy a mac although its expensive it insures that you wont need a computer for another couple years besides itl take microsoft forever to catch up and it also takes no time at all to set up a mac

[fart175]

so truthful

[kruellu571]

seriously lil pompous assholes

[leuksho]

I am going to agree with nalts. The video was well done, finally there is something to poke fun at all of those "Get-A-Mac" commercials. Maybe if Apple will correct their little attitude problem (and some of the users commenting this video), then maybe I will actually consider getting one.  Good video overal, made me laugh.

[StabbingEcstasy]

This was a crappy parody because in the real commercial, the mac says that the magazine was the Wall Street Journal, and in yours it's MacWorld, so that automatically made the while video stupid.

[RootWebGod]

Someone is a bit slow; they inferred that the WSJ is bias! LOL; so that "automatically" makes your comment stupid!

[StabbingEcstasy]

Not really, since the Wall Street Journal isn't a bias magazine. So it's a stupid video. They could've done much better; this is a really lame attempt at humor.

[RootWebGod]

They inferred it; that is all I am saying. Whether or not it is true is not my concern, but saying it is not is simply your opinion unless you have proof to back up such a statement. ;)

[StabbingEcstasy]

Well, the way I look at,

This video used "MacWorld" and it's obvious that "MacWorld" is a biased magazine because it is all about Macs and that magazine promotes it's products for the readers, but on the real commerical, the Mac guy used the magazine "The Wall Street Journal", now since the WSJ talks about all sorts of products, it can't be compared wiht a magazine all about Macs, like MacWorld.

That's why this video is lame.

[StabbingEcstasy]

I hope I explained that good enough, but it's late for me right now, so tell me if there's anything you didn't understand and I'll clarify.

Their inferrence could've been better done.

[Einchy1]

in the world!

[gutznbloody]

boooo!!!!!!

[nalts]

Wow- surprised by the comments. I thought that was really well done. The Mac guy is especially funny. And the ending is great. I did LOL at the bunk bed comment, though.

[sendmail]

compared to the other stuff on youtube, one of the better spoofs

[mojitogirl]

wow, this is a dumb one

[cellophane01]

LOLOL THAT'S SO FUNNY. NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD CLOSE-MIC OR ACOUSTICALLY TREAT YOUR ROOM SO IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TWO RETARDS DID IT IN THEIR BEDROOM. DO YOU HAVE BUNK BEDS?

[Darthspill]

are you guys cereal?

[yosht]

just stupid.

[Darthspill]

yea, these guys fucking suck

[yosht]

2 geeks who think theyre funny.
