lol macs can't get spyware or viruses.... right...
as more and more people start using macs more viruses will target macs. The reason for there being not as much spyware or viruses is not because of a superior operating system.
How is this selling out? :I Plenty of comedians do worse adverts (mostsly to do with insurence, I dunno why) The adverts are amusing, so whats peoples problem?
These ads always make me laugh because they just make the Mac look like a douche while the PC is the fun/goofy guy you'd want to pal around with, and that clearly isn't the direction they're going for.
As far as I can tell, the main difference between a Mac and a PC is their interface and overall design. People who have Macs, correct me if I'm wrong. I've only ever used a PC and I've never faced problems with it.
I laughed when my friend who uses a mac says a mac can't get a virus. I tried to explain to him that all computers can get a virus and since a mac is a computer it can get a virus. Windows and Linux is way better than mac. Mac is good for old people who need something simple and rich kids who don't know how to use a computer.
@DuykRuyk As far as I understand it, Macs don't get viruses because anyone looking to code a virus for a Mac is wasting their time. Macs represent a negligible percentage of the computer market, and use a completely different OS. It's like a mugger specifically aiming to rob only Marine Corp veterans: it takes *far* more effort than the alternatives, and there are too few of them compared to the general population to make it worth that effort.
@DuykRuyk Then...why didn't you just say it? As it stands, all you said was, "since a mac is a computer it can get a virus." Generally when someone resorts to being ridiculously vague in an argument, it's because they don't actually know what they're talking about and are too proud to admit it.
@electricbayonet2 Because I was proving a different point. What you told me was already told to me by computer teacher in high school therefore I already knew. No need to try to analyze our dialogue any further.
@DuykRuyk You weren't proving anything, as far as I could tell. You were *saying* something, and from what you've said now, assuming that people who read it would already have the knowledge to prove you right.
Besides, the video technically *is* right. Macs don't need to worry about any of the stuff that PCs do, and vise versa. They have their own viruses to worry about, but they're so far and few that they're practically nonexistent.
Wait a minute... Was this.... An actual commercial? ... Really?... REALLY? Well that's a bit disappointing. I expected Doogie Micheals to have all sorts of funny things to say about macs. And why the hell would they be in an exact copy of the mac commercial that aired over here? That seems like an absurd waste of talent.
How much for your soul guys? Why don't you two and Stephen Fry and any other mortgaged "celebrity" try and convince us that what your selling is good based on your popularity which has been built on integrity and talent, if it would be up to me you should be struck from the artistic roll-call forever, Fry can stick his track-and-tracing tweeting bullshit up his arse for nothing and as for you two, fuck me, i loved you guys, what the fuck are you doing, take your money and fuck off.
@pcvideogamer First of all, I agree with your point. But for the sake of biscuits, get bill hick's dead, rotting cock out of your mouth. If you're going to get all despairing and angry over the state of creativity, don't plagiarize a well known comedian!
@existenceisrelative i honored Bill Hicks with plenty of videos about him, what the fuck have you done? take my advice and leave well alone next time cunt
@pcvideogamer Yeah, that wasn't really the point was it? The point was not "I am better than bill hicks". Or even "I am better than you". The point was, if you're going to berate someone, anyone for "selling out" their integrity and talent at least be original about it. Or else you're just a pitiable disingenuous hypocrite. And I'm sure you'll have some "witty" comeback to make but don't bother. Call me whatever set of genitals you wish.
@existenceisrelative I'm not on stage in an act or passing anything off as you describe, I'm a fan of bill hicks and some of my videos about him have led hundreds if not more to his works and teachings, i think i have some merit in what i said and i don't have to justify myself especially not to people like you.
I was expecting them to pick on the adds not be in them :) I was thinking Mitchell will tear them appart. With them acting cool and alternative when in reality its all marketing of propiatry closed system that are as dodgy as 'PC's.
I say PC's but technically they are all PC's running diffrent OS and weither its Mac OS, Windoze, Linux, Unix or any of the others the hardware isn't that diffrent. Except that Mac hardware is locked to one operating system.
Funny how Macfags claim to be free of viruses and shit, but in reality, Safari and Firefox under Mac OSX has been found to be the most insecure piece of shit software you can find.
Yes, this is genuinely the reason. No sense in anybody getting upset about you saying that. It just doesn't make sense constructing a virus for such a small part of the computer population. As macs continue to grow in popularity, we'll start seeing more viruses that attack them. It doesn't really say anything about either system's quality.
When they do finally make viruses for macs , that will be apple fucked for finding a solution. Have you ever tried doing anything other than print pictures or download tunes on a mac its a fucking nightmare.
design and music work is what macs are designed for and they do it better than P.C's. why does everybody have to pick a side. there both better at different things.
I have :) works fine, but I guess I know how to use a computer. Why is there a bunch of computer retards on here trying to say who has the best computer? Typical for people to think they are super hardcore for hating whatever they don't like.
I also heard PC's are used by Jews. Ewww can you imagine?
