  • only apple funboy DK , "pc pc pc , XIT" mac is A PC , x86 ! die DK !

  • Apple use sweatshops, leading to people losing the ability to use their hands... often leading them to kill themselves. Great isnt it? Don't you feel happy that the over priced product you have from apple, may have actually lead to someones death? D'aaawww, long live apple eh.

    Pfft....

  • @FANNYLEROUX Basically every company has a bad side to it just as bad or even worse then that..... so just mentioning Apples

    Pfft...

  • @rubiksfan2000 A bad side? People killing themselves and losing the use of their hands.... thats a bad side? Fuck me, how much worse can it get? Absolutly no way. Apple is more than aware of this problem yet for years has done fuck all while it trys to make money. Not acceptable at all, ever.

  • @rollinx101 did you build that computer or purchase from a company?

  • My PC isn't slow, doesn't crash, and doesn't get viruses

    .

    that's because it's a Commodore Amiga (Power PC). hahahahaha. ;-)

    .

  • Yeah, I can see what Bill Gates meant when he said Steve Jobs and he were friends. Honestly, Apple's entire ad campaign is about putting down Microsoft. Also, to the people who say macs are easier to use, if you can't figure out a windows OS you don't deserve a computer...or the air you use to breath.

  • @TheOffensivePrick Windows OS is easy to use because, back in 1995, they copied the Macintosh desktop (recycle bin, shutdown procedure, et cetera)

    .

    BOOM. Winning.  ;-) Prior to 1995 Windows 1, 2, and 3 were the Worst OS I'd ever used (yes even worse than the lowly 8 bit Commodore 64 GE-OS)

    .

  • @harleykman The first OS I've ever used was microsoft 2.1 and I was about 4. Besides, Bill Gates helped Apple a tonne with a lot of things. I said it before and I'll say it again: if you can't figure out a windows OS, you're thick as fuck.

  • @harleykman wow, retards never change

  • @harleykman and mac copied Xerox by stealing the graphical user interface.

  • 2.8GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 3gb carsair dominator, 1 tb 7200 rpm ATA hard drive, ATI Radeon HD 5770, 18x Super Drive, 27" LED monitor, Laser Mouse.

    PC = $1800, Apple = $3800.

    Why?

  • @rollinx101 because people still think there is something special about the apple label like they did in the 90's.

    apple was better when they were on ppc, ppc was a better architecture than x86, but was harder to port to or from.

    now it just comes down to the name and shiny, nothing more.

    i like my iphone but i wouldn't buy a mac, i could get a comp with 16 gigs of ram, 590s in sli and a ssd with a nice monitor for that.

    why bother with a mac?

  • @demongoat The Operating System.

  • HhHHHHHHHHhHHHH

  • Skrillex Uses a Mac...

  • @Gizzer3010  Wow, just wow.

  • "We ported our operating system from its old hardware architecture into a different one. THIS IS THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY"

    Meanwhile, outside of the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field...

    Welcome to the Debian GNU/Linux download page!

    Please choose your hardware architecture: Sun SPARC, HP Alpha, PowerPC, Intel IA-32, IA-64, HP PA-RISC, MIPS (mips, mipsel), ARM (arm, armel), IBM S/390, AMD64

  • My PC isn't slow, doesn't crash, and doesn't get viruses mainly because I'm not a fucking moron.

  • @picklepie159 i agree. Most people not all, buy macs cuz macs are stupid proof!

  • @picklepie159 exactly apple's point, good sir. the mac was invented for people who ARE complete morons that know nothing about computers. thats why they made it in the first place. since then, it has developed to a point where complexity and simplicity have fused to give the best possible experience to both computer noobs or masters. unfortunately microsoft has not, and is far inferior in both functionality, stability, and user experience.

  • @picklepie159 Yeah, PC's last almost 5 years. My mom have a 1984 Macintosh and it works flawless. That's one of the main reasons I prefer a Mac.

  • @johanzenandersen The PC I'm using is 10 years old now of 24 hour "on" service. It's a VPR Matrix from Best Buy. I also have a Commodore 64 from 1983 that still works flawlessly (though I had to replace the disk drive), and a Commodore Amiga from 1985 that survived a flood but still keeps running

    .

  • @picklepie159 Do you turn it on?

  • @picklepie159 Apple is the only computer manufacturer gaining market share right now. The entire world is realizing how shitty Windows based PC's are, and they're switching over in droves.

    Either you know something that millions of other people don't, or millions of other people know something that YOU don't. I'd bet on the latter ;)

  • @luvmakingfunofu

    Fact of the matter is, Windows still has majority market share.

    Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for market diversity. It promotes competition, which in turn gets us, the consumers, better products :).

    All the power to Apple.

  • @luvmakingfunofu That last part makes very little sense, for one thing it implies that no growth in market share is the same as having no sales when in fact PCs are still selling at roughly the same rate, the worldwide market share of OS X is less than 5%. So to use your flawed logic would mean that those <5% of people are obviously wrong.

  • @picklepie159 I respect your stance on the Mac vs PC debate, but in my opinion, the brilliance of the Mac is that you can actually be a fucking moron and still have a wonderful machine for years.

  • @picklepie159 Maybe not a moron, but you're certainly a douche. Keep your arrogant and conceited opinions to yourself, asshole.

  • transitioning to intel platform might not have been the smartest move for apple cause now you can hack osx and run it on a PC which defeats the purpose of buying a mac unless you really want a shiny apple logo on your pc

  • @Ikkepop seriously? HACK osx? There is no hacking done in that situation, you are doing something 100% legal and ok when you BUY a osx license and putting it into a computer that has hardware that works with osx. next to that how many of the users who wants a mac is going to buy all the components that you need to know the specs of, if it will work together properly. It aint easy, and this can probably even help to get more people to buy a license since they don't have to buy an expensive mac

  • @sj0mann you must have misunderstood my use of hack , hack does not mean illegal or legal neither does hacker mean some kind of programmer partaking in illegal work. I'm using hacking in the sense that you're modifying software in some sort of quick and dirty way to make it work in way it shouldn't

  • @Ikkepop Doesn't seem to hurt Apple's bottom line. In fact, since going intel, they've sold more Macs than ever.

  • fucking hate when people make fun of apple and dont even realize what it is, fucking retarded

  • apple the only company to take the piss out of every other competing company on the planet and people love them for it tells you something about alot of people who use apple products

  • All apple seems to do is make fun of Windows, mostly because they can't really say much when they try to actually talk about Mac.

  • @Overwatch93 Actually, they have brought in new capabilities to computers starting with Macs for years. WiFi for example was first widely distributed on Macs back in 1999. 1394 was also introduced for computers around the same time. Even USB, which had been around since 1995 didn't take off until the iMac was introduced in 1998. Today, it's Thunderbolt. Apple has been shipping it for a year. Coming to PCs this year.

  • @chuckiin , you are funny

  • Jobs died of Pancreatic Cancer, so I guess it's safe to say that PC won in the end after all.

  • @AwesomeRobZulu that is something rude to say

  • And now Intel is ripping off the Macbook Air.

  • @Grafight23 thats just like saying the macbook was a ripp off of any laptop.

  • @MrDupelidoo Intel is suffering because regular laptop sales are down due to the iPad, which doesn't use an Intel chip, so seeing the success of the Macbook Air, they have copied everything about it, the exact shape, size, even port locations, lack of optical drive, etc and called it "ultrabook". Apple's first laptop, the Apple Portable, was the first to look like modern laptops, so from the beginning Apple led the way in design and many others followed.

  • @Grafight23 lol, im just a windows fanboy who likes to come with invalid points to try to accomplish something.

  • @MrDupelidoo Cool! ;D

  • @Grafight23 Mac Portable was no laptop at 20 lbs. Ouch! Google the PowerBook 100, 140 and 170. Those machines did redefine laptops.

  • I love how a business with such a horrible business ethic can have such a positive image in the public eye.

  • Both really good operating system's. But the apple is serious overpriced as everyone knows.

  • @DevosVictorr Apple's OS is priced at $29 ... the cheapest version of Windows costs more than twice that. And everyone knows Mac OS X Lion trumps Windows 7. Just check out reviews from any tech journalist with valid credentials.

  • @chuckiin Just because a OS is aesthetically appealing doesn't mean its better.

  • @chuckiin the difference is the cheapest thing you can run the cheapest apple os is $600 for their slowest desktop computer. a comparable windows desktop would be way less.

  • @chuckiin even though this was said a week ago i want to point this out, lion is an upgrade for 30 bucks.

    the upgrades are nothing more than service packs with added features, they are equal to service packs on windows and microsoft gives those out for free.

    try again lol.

  • Fuck apple. They're scum. In 1999, Microsoft gave apple more than 100 million dollars to apple and know they're making commercials making fun of microsoft. Fuck apple

  • @aznkidkevin7 MS gave money to Apple so they would sell Microsoft Office for the Mac and Internet Explorer for the Mac, which they did. They also got Apple shares, which are worth today many times more. Microsoft got way more money from those sales plus the stock than what they put in. In the OS market Apple and Microsoft are competitors, so advertising is fair. MS stills owns 95% of the market anyway.

  • is sad to see the people get excited for every work that steve jobs says. sorry but they look like zombies

  • DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS!

    

  • Coming from a mutual developer I use both windows and OS X. I have no preference but I do know for a fact that Windows wouldn't be the way it is today without apple. They both have their pros and cons but at the end of the day Windows did build their GUI immediately after Apple demonstrated it.

  • Are you PC morons high? Have you ever ventured out of Office – into the real world of Graphics Production, Video Production, Music Production etc? You obviously haven't, because if you've ever used and compared any of Apples brilliant products to the sad, sad Microsoft cheap imitations and rip-offs (Windows being the first – and they still haven't got the bugs out of it) PCs are on par with Radio Shack. Unfortunately both Apple and Microsoft support slave labor in the Third World.

  • @karmajinxxx I hate to tell you fanboy, but the only thing when it comes to any of those production tool you have mentioned that a windows computer cant do is run the in house software made by apple. PCs can run the adobe equivalents just as well, and can do it for a better machine for your dollar. Higher price tag does not mean better.

  • @CWScott24 Go into any company, even charities and see what the design department is using. I have worked for many companies and charities which use Macintosh computers for their graphics and designs "because they work better than any PC using the same software".

    Higher price tag doesn't mean it's better, this is true, but Apple products have the lowest defect and return rate of ANY computer or tablet sold on the markets today.

  • @Gizzer3010 Go into any game development studio, PC's are king. go into any graphics producing studios on the east coast. the majority will be using pcs. Its all preference.

    and most problems people have with pcs are users not knowing what they are doing.

  • @karmajinxxx Indeed I have, I saw a Mac costing £1700 last month that had specs just as good as the £700 PC I had in 2009. Or there's that iPad I used that somehow cost twice as much as a netbook with 10 times the storage space. I can't forget the iPod Touch which had lower audio quality than the cheap MP3 player I found in the local market hall either.

  • @karmajinxxx lol its funny because you've been brainwashed by having mac products all your life. Macs are pretty. thats all they got, for an outrageous price.

  • @karmajinxxx lmfao. you sir are hilarious

  • You can tell that's not Steve Jobs because he's alive.

  • I wish they could of chosen AMD and not Intel

  • CANCER

  • Looks like Microsoft took their revenge.. Yh thats right where is Steve now.

  • PC-->Apple anytime in everyaspect, apple is fucking tracking their users. Microsoft and Nokia ARE BEST and PC is never gonna die, but Apple will when they wont come up with anything new anymore iPhone 12....jeez...iPad 9....if they dont free up their code so people can modify more, Apple will never be on the top. Apple is for simple people who prefer looks over content and simplicity over quantity and cuztomization.

  • @normison69 If you want to discuss Apple tracking it's users, look into Carrier IQ, used by almost every mobile phone company out there, except Apple (who stopped using it in iOS 5) which tracks even more than a user's locale (message content, calls etc).

    Apple don't necessarily want to be on top. Nokia the best? Really? How are their stocks and market presence doing these days?

    Why would Apple products be for "simple" people?

  • @Gizzer3010 Im looking into future Nokia Windows phone, Nokia & Microsoft together FTW and because its for "simple" people is cuz its simple, its closed system in each their platforms, you cant download ie apps from other sources but AppStore or what its called in Apple...or hands down format the whole thing to install new OS or install ie more memory for your older device, they kinda force you to buy new. I have Android but im looking for Nokia Windows phone series...btw Nokia ruled for years.

  • apple sucks

    

  • @Bobbyboy4308 you must be a pc

  • @fvs182 you must be a fucking retard

  • @UVClay ;)

  • Steve Jobs repented and is now is Heaven.

  • But don't you worry Apple fanboys, you still have Tim Cook!

    (walks away laughing)

  • Gates watches this chanting:

    "you're not singing

    you're not singing

    you're not singing anymore

    you're not singing anymore"

    Then laughs smugly to himself.

  • BURN

  • fake and gay

  • @carbonlyrics LOL

    

  • @carbonlyrics I hate it when people have no idea on what Apple was built on, but continue to spread their love for the company.

  • @aglot89 who cares

  • @aglot89 On what was Apple built, then? Go read Steve Jobs' biography, it covers the very highs and the very lows of the company as well as it's founder.

  • @aglot89 Yeah it just proves how "smart and creative"(am being sarcastic) apple users are :p

  • @carbonlyrics So... what you are saying is, that Chuck Norris is not as good or better then Steve Jobs? hmm, i would be carefull next time i go out the door if i was you :P

  • the perfection of an award. :) i love him.

  • @sania1027 lol

  • Haha yes, this is so "funny" that I was "rofl"

  • how was that funny?

  • @cornflake1998 maybe if you've been watching the commercials and understand the PC vs. Apple relationship over the years you would see the humor in it.

  • would have been better if shown after steve died

    

  • @Rapsmalife I've wanted to work for him since WWDC 2007 iPhone announcement. I'm still applying, but won't be the same.

  • @Rapsmalife poor diddums..

  • @Rapsmalife You might want to look into how Jobs treated his employes first.

  • @MXR789 You read the book to? ;)

  • @assassin26764 why, did his employees get treated badly?

  • @MrUtopia77 beacouse his a douche?

  • @MrUtopia77 It was just jobs personality. He would call people idiot and he would be an asshole. Not anything the employees did wrong.

  • @MXR789 Why is that?

  • @SmellySpick Google is your friend, and so is his biography.

  • @MXR789 no, i'm asking you why.

  • @SmellySpick Youtube would not be happy if I copy and pasted the entire Steve Jobs biography in this tiny box. 

  • @MXR789 Heck, don't bother, you're just going to google it yourself, and copy-paste some shit.

  • @MXR789 but most of the employees that have been treated that way and survived have actually found them selves to be better people because of it , Steve was a perfectionist, and he pushed his employees to do better

  • @Ikkepop don't get me wrong i'm not an apple fan boy, but i got respect for what it did for the computer industry

  • @Rapsmalife check out google offices.

  • @Rapsmalife Its so sad how peoples goals for the future have been twisted into things they dont understand and how they will strive for it regardless of what the implications of their goal will actually lead to.

  • Watching this on my iPad.. Thank you Steve Jobs

  • you know ...my snow leopard actually crashes a lot. maybe not just as much as windows xp or vista...but it does so a lot..and has issues too. so i can agree somewhat that apple products are great but i think theres a bit of hype going on too.

  • RIP steve :'(

  • "Apple spoof of Microsoft leaves audience in stitches" "Cancer left Steve Jobs on a mogue table in "stitches!"

  • Apple products are fine if you're rich. They cost a fucking fortune. And don't last for very long. You're paying for the name. Certainly not quality.

  • @CaptainCanDo, LOL certainly PURE BULLSHIT that you just said dude. Sorry, but its so.

    Apple products are premium quality, last long, very long and people don't just pay for the name. Even if they did, a lot went into making that name and Apple stands by their products. And THAT IS WHY even just that name is enough to have quality product.

  • @Chhenu Yeeeah... You keep living in that fantasy land. I'm sure it's lovely. And I'm not a dude.

  • @CaptainCanDo, I don't live in fantasy. I'm a real guy and a certified Mac Pro user. Have been using Macs all my life. Have tons of friends who are top notch professionals in their respective fields, use computers for it and have shifted from PCs to Macs and are so happy.

  • @Chhenu That's nice for you. But not only are Microsoft products A LOT cheaper, they've all lasted years for me. The Apple ones have not. And I don't know anyone who's had an iPod for very long and something hasn't gone wrong with it.

  • @CaptainCanDo, I have an iPodPhoto 60Gig that I bought in 2004 and NEVER had to approach a service center ever!! That is 7 whooping years of it. Is that long enough for you buddy? I change my Macs more frequently cuz of newer technology. NEVER EVER had to re-install my Mac OS. most of my PC friends had to re-install their windows at least 3 to 5 times on average. And besides, I get Apple care with which my hardware gets 100% free replacement if anything happens!! Premium product n service.

  • @CaptainCanDo, Also when PCs were lousy plastic notebooks, Macbook pros came in metal. First ever 1 inch thin notebook was Mac book. Rest all copy as usual. :) Same goes with other Apple Products.

  • @Chhenu Okay dear. You keep using your precious Macs and I will keep using PCs.

  • @CaptainCanDo, whatever keeps one happy and is useful. Best wishes to you in the New Year. :)

  • @Chhenu haha apple fan boy

  • @Divvet, not a boy son. I'm Editor in chief of a magazine and certainly not a boy. Shows how people can be judgmental and prejudiced without knowing anything about anybody simple cuz their liking doesn't match yours.

  • @Chhenu and i'm not your son, boy.

  • @Divvet, nor am I boy, mind it!! 

  • @Divvet Haha endless Canadian argument!

  • @Chhenu

  • @Chhenu Dude every huge company such as apple or beats you are always paying for a name as compared to what you would pay if it was a smaller company ( MAYBE sometimes smaller companies are worth)

  • @CaptainCanDo In our house we have Apple products from 10 years ago, still running well and fulfilling a purpose. None of my friends who have a machine running Windows, have anything older than 4 years...You do pay a lot, but the quality is generally much higher than the competition's.

  • NAWWWW STEVE I MISS UUUU!!!

  • man it is sad to watch this video and realize steve jobs is no longer with us... he was often a jerk but made great stuff...

  • Oh yes, a question for Mr.Jobs, when are you going to make a cheaper computer which you can upgrade, has a better version of steam and supports all the great stuff that windows has like modio?! Oh, and when are you going to make a better version of safari? Which is worse than IE.

  • @SharpFPShooter Hes dead.

  • @xLoliChiDesuu Shit.... Uh, Ipods are great!

  • @SharpFPShooter Yea hah xD idk how you didnt hear. It was a big thing on the news and he just died recently in October. He had pancreatic cancer and in this vid he even had it.

    But unforgettably it got to him and he passed.

  • arguing over which technology is better. #firstworldproblems

  • And that folks are how immature apple are.

  • @ZerkosXD One, starting a sentence with "And" is just wrong...also "That folks, is how immature Apple are."

    If you're going to insult something or someone, at least do it with correct grammar.

  • Wow...

    People argue a lot.

  • phil who?

  • I have a Mac, but I like PC and Mac. Not everyone can afford a Mac, so stop the fanboy wars.

  • How does apple sell products? By cutting down their competition to make their consumer think their product is better so they can sell it for more money. At least Gates has never taken the low road like the king douche steve jobs. How does Steve Jobs make people think he's a genius? By stealing the ideas of the people who work for him and taking all the credit.

  • @DTS1300 Let me tell I've never heard steve Jobs say "Ive inventend" In fact, watch this video, you can clearly see how he always gives credit to everyone.

  • @alex2ex Never said he said "I've invented" just that he takes the credit. Funny how you say he gives credit to everyone. Wonder how many people know about Steve Wasniack as opposed to Steve Jobs.

  • Who are Microsoft?

  • Who has the last laugh now? heh.

  • @HipHopJun fucked up man get a grip

  • thats the infamous issey miyaki turtleneck design for steve.

  • whoop-de-fuck. microsoft already make their OS work well with Intel and AMD. Mac only has intel. and guess what. windows 8 will support ARM chipsets

  • @nhking4 Apple was the first to use ARM chips in mobile computing (iPhone/iPad) and even bought one of the subsidiary, manufacturing the ARM chipset.

  • he really quit (breathing)

  • @papas182 Fuck You

  • wait why does apple even try, dont they know their technology is hopeless?

  • How to choose an OS:

    1. Like to take it up the ass?

    Yes? Mac

    No? See 2

    2. Like to play the latest games?

    Yes? PC

    No? Linux

    

  • @sezuor one - it's "arse". In fact, many of the latest games work both on Mac and PC platforms.

    Another fact, Halo was originally going to be brought out on the Mac platform (and the first "Xbox" demo of Halo was using a G5 Mac Pro), until Microsoft bought the franchise from Bungie.

  • THAT WAS FUNNY!

  • I said Carbage, meant to say Garbage.

  • Oh boy, pointless fan-boy wars!

  • @superfroman funny though lol :D

  • Zune HD better than Ipod touch, Android is a better operating system than Iphone, and Windows XP and 2000 are better than every single Apple OS combined.

    What does apple have? oh yeah, hipsters, faggots and hipster faggots.

  • @Southparker100000000 it makes you look like a bitch when you get emotional over computers

  • @Southparker100000000 You really care about user experience don't you ?

    " SJ : Good to see the guys who copy us"

  • @kmeda86 "Irony: talking about how much Windows is copying you, and then talking about how you're finally using Intel processors."

    Oh wait I forget, wasn't Mac OS stolen from a free open source operating system? yeah that's right it was, if you want to talk about copying, talk to the guy who made Unix faggot.

  • @Southparker100000000 Guess who's the faggot.. The Enemy! LAWL :D

    Intel and ARM got way to go...

    Good artists copy great artists steal - Picasso

    Has history taught us nothing?

    Merry Christmas!

  • @Southparker100000000 Yep, that Zune HD is certainly selling well.

    iPhone isn't an OS (Android vs iOS is you're going to make that argument).

    Windows XP and 2000? I'm a Mac user and even I know about Windows 7, you know, in the modern world? I quite like Windows 7 and that really does trump XP/2000 any day, not sure if it trumps Lion though :)

    Hipster faggots. Wow.

    Hipster - follows latest trends

    Faggot - A bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches bound together.

    Sure that's what you meant?

  • @Gizzer3010 lol hipster faggot

  • But none of what he said means anything! Microsoft is still the leading platform, and even if it weren't, Microsoft owns part of apple, so it's all a bunch of fake rivalry.

    Not to mention that video was douchey and mean spirited.

    Is this what Mac people are?

  • @Williamsfan Pretty much, apple customers are for the most part pretentious douche bags.

  • @Southparker100000000 Anyone that resorts to name calling cannot be taken seriously, regardless of which preference you have.
