Apple ad: Teeter Tottering

[hamzasaleem102]

People only hate on Apple because they cannot afford their products. If they could and decided to buy them they would know that Apple blows Windows 7 away especially with Mac OS X Lion. Plus you don't have to pay to get the 'Ultimate edition' because it's all one with Apple and not 7 versions of the same OS.

[daymyth]

@hamzasaleem102 Just out of curiosity. I'm going to play Battlefield 3 when it comes out, can I do that on OSX? Also you don't need "ultimate edition", most users home is all they will need if you don't do networking.

I could by a mac for $2000 or I could by custom components that add up to $2000 that are 5 times as good and put whatever OS I want on it (Except for OSX because they don't want you to)

[gOoComeDy]

My combination:Windows 7 and a Ipod/I phone

Just perfect.

[nicknet18]

It's called inferiority complex, psychologically. Apple knows they are no match for Win7.

That's why they relentlessly sabotage Windows. And in the end they offer to run Windows on Macs!!! LOLZZ!!!

Even more devastating is that people fall for it!!! Poor souls...

[Xaviersama016]

@nicknet18 you know... mac OSx really is superior to windows 7... don`t get me wrong... I use windows 7. The problem with mac is not that it sucks but that it`s too expensive

[nicknet18]

@Xaviersama016 Really? Enlighten me, why do they keep telling that they can run Office, let alone Windows itself?

[EWHRDIII]

Some PC's have Blu-Ray, but no Mac has Blu-Ray.

TIPIC USER MACSHIT!

[wepef3D]

If you get a Mac (not a laptop a desktop computer) can you uprage your processor, graphic card, components in general? I'm a student, and every now and then I manage to save enough to buy a component and refresh my computer, can the same be done with Mac?

[dragngt]

@wepef3D Yes and no. You can't upgrade your processor to a newer socket without a new mobo and you can't go from ddr2-800 to ddr3-1333 ram without a new mobo. So in that respect you're buying one little piece as part of an upgrade. You're having to think down the road some. The truly simple things that aren't mobo dependent like hdd's, graphics and more ram. Sure.

[t1czer]

@wepef3D PowerMac - yes. But its just a copy of a PC. iMac - no. Its like laptop...

[PQPLAYER92]

people that own a pc will simply never understand.......... its unfortunate ?

[MrStopmotion88]

And all Mac users know is crying inside due to the fact that you could get an Alienware gaming laptop for the same price as a Macbook Pro with weak-ass specs. Lulz worthy, just lulz worthy.

[megapunch99]

and the 4 boxes behind her have to be thrown out because mac doesn't support them.

[saetastur]

dont people have to pay for updates on Mac :Þ pc doesnt charge people for Simple Update :Þ ofcourse they do too the W7 and thos version but bugs fixing they really dont

[dragngt]

@saetastur No, they don't. All updates are free. Where do you get bullshit info like that?

[saetastur]

@dragngt lol just info hope you diden get Angry at my question XD i wasent being Serious. atleast i just heard thos info :Þ. you might be lucky in ya country but atleast icelandic m8 of mine has to pay for it :Þ

[MovieGodzilla]

@saetastur

A Mac user tells you: they are fucking free.

[MaoiMeowi2]

I had no pain and frustration with Windows XP...in fact, I've had more with the Mac OS than with Windows.

[ironmadion55]

i mean, if mac dropped their prices about 1 grand, i would consider switching.

[latdownforce]

Yeah, Who's the actress that plays Anne?

[brucemonge]

who portrays anna?

[devbob369]

you know whats funny? I never had any problems with windows xp so im wondering why that lady turned off windows firewall. I mean, has anyone here had painfull problems on windows xp?

[jabberwolf]

Mac is rated by zealots that are desperate to make others think they are computer savvy.

A mac could set a user on fire, and they would somehow still give mac a good rating.

If you are retarded and want to be a sheep, mac would LOVE to have you!

[darkimagesoflight]

I use OSX at work, Windows 7 at home.

I have to say that while windows has had it's problems, the constant spinny pinwheel of doom on OSX has been far more workflow inhibiting than the fairly rare "not responding" message. I get the latter all of once a week... I get the pinwheel dozens of times a day, on a cutting edge iMac running 10.6.

Windows is simply the better system.

[DPBdandan139]

I find these misleading adds more horrible every time I watch them... thats why I am switching to Win 7 from Mac

[Anavengertg]

Lol.

[newecreator]

@DPBdandan139 Better if you do that.

[thegoodhen]

@DPBdandan139 how much is the mac? xD

[samandsha7]

windows 7 is free untill june, there is no reason to not give it a spin and see how great it actually is! plus when you do decide to buy it, you can get it for 30 bucks!

[konstantinos777]

you don't have to move all your stuff dude, are you idiots or what

[8innergate]

yes you do you cant upgrade straight from xp to windows 7, you have to either do a wipe and install or buy vista and upgrade to vista and then again to 7

[konstantinos777]

that does not imply moving any stuff. although if you are smart enough, you can find the workaround. moving to a completely new and different environment in which most of your applications will not work, just because you don't have the option to upgrade is a no brainer. no#1 in customer satisfaction? what's that supposed to mean, that's the only thing told about apple (Mac) in this ad. and it doesn't mean anything really.

[8innergate]

I dont completely understand what you mean by "moving to a completely new and different environment............applica­tions will not work" but when i have to agree with you that the customer satisfaction part is very strange it makes the commercial so confusing

[konstantinos777]

i mean that if you already have a truckload of applications and games that you love and use that don't work on a Mac, there is no reason to go there. even if Mac can run windows and stuff there is really no reason to go to crapple, what you want to do by upgrading an OS, is to enhance the experience with the apps you love and use. you can also get a brand new PC and install whatever OS you want and those programs, it only takes a few hours.

[gygnpsn]

@konstantinos777 i can see soooo many flaws in what you've said there. there is no reason not to get a mac. all windows programs can either work on a mac or have an equal or greater alternative. you just need to be smart about stuff. if you do a little research before you comment next time you will see what i mean.

[konstantinos777]

@gygnpsn you can see so(ooo) many flaws? well, tell my just one.

that's what i said too, you need to be smart about stuff and get a PC. what kind of research do you expect me to do? mac is good for some multimedia stuff, but it doesn't do much more than a pc can do. if yes, then tell me just one single example. it all comes down to the software. so this silly ad is basically against microsoft. great apple-like propaganda, i am not impressed at all.

[gygnpsn]

@konstantinos777 first of all, most windows applications can be used by wine if they dont have a mac counterpart. if you don't like wine, you can use boot camp to run a windows OS or any OS for that matter. and then theres the fact that the hardware in macs is better than most PC's and faster too. And you know your fancy little windows? look at it. most of the stuff there was originally invented by (as you call it) crapple. the Mouse was invented by apple. the GUI was invented by apple. enough?

[konstantinos777]

@gygnpsn LOL is that what crapple tells you? that they invented the computer? whatever! i've been there watching the evolution of computers. it all started with IBM, so enough with this propaganda and enough with who started first and who did what because crapple loses this argument. you just come up with excuses for why you got a mac. i don't really care, it's probably the perfect computer for you and you did the right choice for yourself. i was just commenting on the foolish and misleading ad.

[gygnpsn]

@konstantinos777 i never said that they invented the computer, just most of how computers are today. please stop with all this bullshit slandering of macs. if you notice, ive never said anything bad about Windows or Microsoft, but youve only had bad things to say about Apple and Macs in general. i am trying to have a reasonable discussion on how and why macs are great computers but i can see that ive been wasting my time here. im not going to reply to any more posts on this topic. goodbye.

[konstantinos777]

@gygnpsn i am not trying to have a "reasonable" (you mean religious) discussion on "how and why macs are great computers". you are. i was just commenting on a video ad and you felt compelled to support your religion. just because i say it's crap, it shouldn't mean anything to you. you are happy with your mac, hey so why do i care? you go spend triple the money and get the same thing. it's your business, your money. and you will believe you did the right thing too, who cares? goodbye.

[daymyth]

@konstantinos777 Except you can't install OSX because that would be breaking apples EULA...
