  • When she mentioned crashes and viruses the Mac guy should have walked away as well

  • Here is what I think is funny about everyone who hates on pc or mac... I own a mac, its great, never crashes for me, the only thing that does suck about it is that no one makes anything compatible, don't know why...BUT, thats why I also have windows 7 on my mac, oh hang on, external hard drive has linux on it that I use off my mac.... all computers are good no matter what they are, it's just that a person has to decide which they want... I am rebuilding a pc to run mac... just stop complaining..

  • @GTSkorpius666 just so I can continue... see, the only difference between a mac and a pc and why I like mac is because it's almost impossible to run mac on a pc, but you can run pc on a mac with a partition/external hard drive. I will stick with my mac (primarily for school) and you stay with pc, just think, without mac, what would we lose, without pc, what would we lose... both are essential to everything...here i'll hate on programmers.......MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH........any questions?

  • I prefer PC over mac. Only morons that own PC's get viruses on it because they download to much shit.

  • LINUX!

  • My PCs never crashed, and I have never seen a blue screen in any of my 3 PCs.

    My friend's MAC did crash, when he throw it through the window, tired of its crappy Apple shit.

  • This is operating system-ism

  • Mac acts like he doesn't know about antiviruses and so how expensive it is and how less it can do... Talk about that

  • luv that voice!!!

  • Mac users are just in it for the fight. only a moron's PC will crash or freeze or get viruses. Mac is just a gizmo, a toy, a device, a hobby. It can never do what a PC does. give me a mac for a day and I will make it freeze once a minute and contaminate it with virus and will bench mark it against a PC.

    what was that? no comments? ok then STFU mac users.

  • @sorooshusa COMMENT....give me a mac or pc and I can do the same thing.... see, PC's get viruses and freeze because of stupid people, Mac is a gizmo, a toy (as you say) to those who don't know what they are doing... your talking about hardware, it's faulty in everything... but don't confuse hardware with software because software is what makes Mac a toy, Not mac hardware, but the programmers of the software. No one seems to understand this.

  • A macbook is awesome but i cannot understand why you would buy a desktop mac.. And all that virus crap, seriously. What weird web sites does she visit if she gets thousands of viruses? I've never had a problem with viruses =/

  • virus's right yeah mac gets those 2 people.

  • Comment removed

  • I like my Mac and I will probably never go back to PCs. Problem?

  • Viruses... The only sale point mac has and the only thing you need to protect yourself is common sense and a free anti virus program.

  • check out my mac vs pc, i make pc win! :D

  • ppl calm down we all know people only use pc's for the "gaming" aspect and we all know that eventually someone is going to be tired of crappy slow windows computers and switch to mac, every day 10 people switch from pc to mac

  • @AQWaltrox Only gaming? You fail so bad, I use mine for gaming, movies, music, programming, internet etc. I bet every day 1000 people switch from mac to PC.

  • @AQWaltrox Yup, of course they're switching. That explains why Apple's market share is shrinking while Windows is staying constant/ going up over the past several years

  • @AQWaltrox coof coof 92% coof coof

  • @AQWaltrox Crappy slow windows computers? I beg to differ. I built my computer with $1300 and the closest and mac with the same speed comes is $3500

  • 'some say im too fast' ooo thats not good

  • Think different : use PC.

  • @ForSomethin Think different: don't watch the vid if your just going to hate on it you troll

  • @wongzi1986 OMG that's hilarious xD I literaly lol'd at you comment

  • It's joe!!

  • RETARTDS DOWNLOADING VIRUSES

    PAYPAL ACCOUNT HACKER V0.3

    ahahahaa

  • The problem with getting viruses isn't necessarily the virus protection's fault. PEOPLE [users] create viruses. To annoy or take advantage of people. WINDOWS has a much wider user base. Simple logic dictates to attack them, unless you just want to piss off MAC OS users. That is why there is far more viruses for windows. But then again we have more white hat hackers to help protect us and create better virus protection.

  • Yeah if you don't want to get any kind of COMPUTER viruses then just buy a book and be happy with it.

  • THE ACTOR FROM RULES OF ENGAGEMENT! HHAHAHA, n dude ive never ever got a virus n ive had my pc for over hmm... about 5 years now :L has annoyed me a few times but thtes becuz the internet sometimes looses connection

  • mac can get viruses just as easily as PC's can, as well as linux, it just that no one aims or builds viruses for those OS. and pc is cheaper, and if you disagree with vista, go and get windows 7 or Linux (PC Linux, Ubuntu, linux mint, or some other one of the thousands of distros)

  • You only get viruses from downloading bad torrents and going on certain porn sites.

  • Is that Joe?

  • This is why I hate mac, and steve jobs, all this fucking douchebagery.

  • you can't put Mac OSX on windows. mac is strictly for MAc Computers only

  • @RomanKT100

    Um, Yes you can.

  • no

    mac is good for watching porn

  • "without thousand of viruses"

    "Linux it is"

    /end

  • Why PC = Windows?

  • Mac will never= a Voodo multimedia/gaming PC (Was that what the "top of the line" pc was?)

    And no, anyone running a voodoo is most likey a custom build geek with the ability to tweak,and hack..viruses are unlikely and DOA if they ever make it in

    She doesn't look like a Geek so let her have her "toy" MAC (the computer formally known as "$2500 paperwieght" before "i-life")

  • delation.

  • is that joe's voice actor from family guy?

  • One week later she calls

  • @EdwardTheTechGeek Naw 2 hours would be enough to make her understand why people buy PC at a masses and a Mac only. Because PC is fun!

  • 1.st of all this is bullshit! 2.nd I DONT HAVE VIRUSES ON PC BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND WHAT PAGES ARE SECURE!

  • Kronk from the Emperors New Groove!!

  • oooo, I run windows.

    oooo. I run OS X.

    SHUT UP AND JUST USE THE FRIGGIN THING! Half of you don't even know what you're talking about, nevermind knowing how to use what you got. idiots

  • Also, I think the best way to describe Macs is 'simple'. They do simple tasks without much fuss. Some people (Mac users, mainly) see this as a good thing, and some people, such as me, don't look for 'simple' in a computer. I'd rather something meatier, with power, gaming capability, the ability to modify internal computer parts and of course, something that doesn't cost me a few grand greater than the sum of its parts.

  • I think the only conclusive statement I can make from this ad is: If you're the type of person who would even get problematic viruses on their PC, then you should probably opt for something easier to use, like a Mac.

  • you can't fool us apple, we all know mac is gay.

  • "I want a computer with a big screen."

    "How about 3 big screens?"

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU NOTICED THAT THAT GUY PLAYS THE VOICE OF JOE IN FAMILY GUY! :D

  • 1000 $ pc: i'm playing crysis 2 with high graphics and you mac?

    3999 $ mac : :(

  • i swear thats the guy who does the voice for joe in family guy

  • It's true. Macs very rarely get viruses, since most viruses are made to run in Windows..

  • I've had a pc for two years now and I'm thinking of changing to mac, is this ad true?

  • @TheMightyGurkin Not at all.

    Just go buy a bunch of new parts from Intel, AMD, Nvidia etc to replace your old parts.

    Want a bigger screen? You can get three, too.

    And it will come back cheaper than a Mac.

  • @playman350 i would but I'm not great with computers macs are apparently easier

  • I've had my PC for about 4 or 5 years, it still runs great games, runs smoothly and has never had a virus, my mac i've had 1 year and I can't play any good games on it and pages is less user friendly than annoyed donkey.

  • Scarlett Johansson used an Iphone. O:!

  • There are some funny comments here:

    1. "after all these years, and Apple still haven't heard about Anti-virus..?"

    2. "are people really too lazy to fuckin just buy anti virus"

    3. "If you're not a retard, you won't get viruses."

    LOL ... these are academic questions because it is with a PC that you'll get a virus, NOT a Mac.

    I haven't had a single one in 20 years with my Macs.

    Honestly, the "dimwit PC user" stereotypes are borne out by their biggest supporters. What a bunch of maroons.

  • @319xzp macviruses . net / 2011 / 06 / list-of-known-mac-viruses / #more-64

    simple google search, my friend.

    Oh, and no, if you aren't retarded about what you download, have a firewall, and use an antivirus, you are almost guaranteed to not get a virus.

  • @319xzp Mac can get viruses.h

  • There are some funny comments on here.

    1. Someone says "Apple hasn't heard about anti-virus?"

    2. Then, "are people really too lazy to buy anti-virus?"

    3. Finally, "If you're not a retard, you won't get viruses"

    LOL - these are all academic questions because it's the PCs that GET THE VIRUSES.

    I've never had one in 20 years with my Macs. Nor have I had to buy anti-virus software. GET IT?

    My god, the dimwit PC stereotypes are borne out by their biggest supporters.

  • "Some say, i'm too fast" LOL!. Love the way he said that.

  • Agent W-I-N 7 over here...

  • Always know Patrick Warburton was a PC

  • Even the best anti-virus such as Norton will NOT stop viruses getting on PC. They are evolving too fast to catch.

  • @Asiats1 norton is not the best. it's the biggest and most well known, but it's not the best. and the evolution of viruses is the same reason why more and more viruses are coming out for mac as well

  • @wilhamlin Well, from what I've read it's currently ranked 1st at compartivesdotorg. Avira is not far behind though.

  • @Asiats1 well it's just number one because it's sold the most, and the only reason still buy it because that's the only name that they recognize. but when it actually comes to performance there are so many better out there

  • @wilhamlin but for less computer literate people out there how do you answer the "thousands of viruses and tons of headaches" question? You can't, this is why macs and iDevices are outselling everything at the moment, because the majority of the world doesn't give a shit about open source or hardware, they care about getting things done asap and things not breaking, which is what they're used to with Windows.

    -PC user.

  • @cazman182 yea but then they start getting cocky and saying "my mac is invisible" and download every neat thing that they see online and end up download a mac-compatible viruses and then their computer goes to shit and they think "oh it must just be out of date, i think i'll get a brand new one". it's funny because one of my friends did this, ended up going through 3 macs in 3 years

  • @wilhamlin But the other smaller anti-virus companies don't have much R&D budget.

  • If you're not a retard, you won't get viruses. Mac with Quadcore = £1500 PC with Quadcore = £300

  • @Crossfire990 well theres a big difference in the type of quad-core a mac uses and what a 300 pc would use (core i7 2600k vs something like an athlon ii x4) so maybe more like 800 vs 1500, your point is still valid though

  • @JakkIsBakkInBlakk My PC has a AMD Athlon 640 X4 3.02GHz, 550w PSU, 4gb ram. (case/motherboard was included) All together cost £318. A Mac with similar(ish) specs is Alot more :3

  • @Crossfire990 well despite an athlon ii x4 and a core i7 2600k (whats in the high end macs, and my pc build) both being quad cores, the 2600k is almost 3 times faster. Its unfair to call them even similarish; nonetheless my build is immensily cheaper to get a mac with the same parts (if you can even get 2 580's in SLi in a mac) so youre right, but still.......exagerrating :)

  • @Crossfire990 I assume you have plenty of viruses then.

  • @KaiserBecks Nope, perfectly clean.

  • @Crossfire990 look up the stats be4 replying -.-

  • @samm1551995 Nice English, bro.

  • @Crossfire990 multiple times the price, but in the and the same basic shit in bot PC and Mac

  • @DrBuffaloBalls Mhm.

  • @Crossfire990 yep, and for anything except gaming, a pc is basically use that. now stop trying to show off for the americans because you dont know a thing about a good computer

  • @prohibit09 Considering my pc is a gaming PC, your argument is invalid. Plus my GPU price on to that (£120) that's still below average Mac price.

  • are people really too lazy to fuckin just buy anti virus

  • Was that Patrick Warburton?

  • @hstpska Xbox: "No you don't."

  • @Delgranoth Ps3:"Where is your heavy rain?

    "

  • I want a guy with a big stick. And a really fast thrusting speed. And i want one that just works without thousands of stds and headaches.

  • I know apple caters for consumerist conformist morons, but seriously how the fuck would you manage to get 'thousands of viruses'

    not to mention, using a mac for me - gives me 'tonnes of headaches'

  • @skylinedude2006 I'd have to assume that she watches a *lot* of porn, like 24/7, including really nasty stuff that would make most people throw up, stuff where going to the site just makes your skin crawl from how sleazy it is, to get thousands of viruses. And she doesn't use 'protection'.

  • @iamgig9876 I have never owned a Mac but it pisses me off so much when fanboys from either side make bs statements like that. They are both just computers with pros and cons, can you all please stop acting like either one is a cure for cancer.

  • this ad appears to have some sort of sexual content XD

  • funny how mac cant do shit and sucks cock well i still have a back up hardrive and i have a win 7 disc and yet my os wont crash

  • Feels like this commercial is made to piss off the fanboys :)

  • when she said "i want a pc with a big screen" somthing dirty popped up in my mind..

  • BROCK SAMSON! Patrick Warburton, he's actually that manly in real life, too. Legend.

  • Joe swanson from Family guy??

  • I think the reason there's barely any viruses for the mac, is because it's insanely hard to program on mac, where as in Windows, it's actually quite easy. I've made a virus one and sent it to my friend, weren't that hard.

  • KRONK!?

  • Pc: "I can play games" Mac: "Which one of them?" Pc: "All"

  • @hstpska Mac: "Me too"

  • @Nilsfried Dont think so

  • @hstpska There are 3 ways to run windows games on a mac: 1st: WINE - a program that lets you install and use Windows programs directly on Mac OS, 2nd: a virtual machine with windows, 3rd: install Windows via bootcamp. Like that you can use the advantages of both operating systems.

  • @Nilsfried 1.WINE doesn't support like 75% of games. 2&3, why get virtual machines of windows when you can just get windows without having to do anything else? Sure Mac's are pretty, but PC's can be made to be pretty too.

  • @WonderfulMrShyne You're totally right, I just wanted to say that technically Macs can also be used to play all games. I am a Windows user by the way, but I will get a Mac soon, I think Mac OS will have many advantages for me. I will play most games on my PS3.

  • @hstpska Wow, I haven't seem this comment before...

  • @hstpska Mac: i do to! just install windows XD

  • @hstpska Try using some grammar (:

  • @Nowatermelons Sorry, from Finland

  • @hstpska PC: "Nerds love to play games on me." - Mac: "Well, I do more the creative stuff for people who aren't virgins anymore..."

  • @rejuco Such as...?

  • @hstpska hey jackass mac can run windows so I can play crysis the same way a samsung computer would.

  • @hstpska every time someone says mac vs pc pc users that never even tried say yeah but pc has all games douchbags I have windows 7 on my mac with steam on it I can run every game I want

  • @stevenzv7 If you have apple computer, but windows 7 on it, it's not anymore mac because u don't have MAC on it. Idiot. Mac is same as PC, but with different operating system on it.

  • @hstpska wtf are you talking about? 2 word : dual boot

  • @stevenzv7 Didn't tell me u have dual boot asshole

  • @hstpska PC I can do work Mac: I can do work at a more efficient pace and can run my programs faster on a computer with worse hardware PC: Oh...

    PC: I can play games" Mac: Bet your going somewhere in life PC: Yep, designing video games" Mac:Graphic Designer and professional producer PC: Oh..

    PC: "I can still play games" Mac: "I dont care, games aren't everything in life"

    PC: Im cheaper Mac: resale value higher build quality better customer support I think Im cheaper

    PC: Im still cheaper Mac: -_-

  • @NGUpremier You do realize that PC stands for Personal Computer so a Mac is a PC right? This is a debate over OS.

  • @NGUpremier If Macs are "more efficient" at work, then why is it that the VAST majority of businesses use Windows.

    you realize that very few professional designers and producers use Macs because the outdated parts cannot produce as high quality products as other platforms.

    considering that 69% of the worlds population plays games, i think the ability to play games is pretty important.

    All apple products are built in the same building as ASUS computers, so the build quality is the exact same

  • @wilhamlin a VAST majority of businesses use Windows because they are cheaper. They aren't as efficient they just use them because they are cheap hunks of plastic.

    You do realize that is bullshit right? EVERY SINGLE graphic designer I have been with has used a Mac. Their parts are not outdated see note one above about hardware utilization

    Most of those 69% of players could play the same games on a Mac. The other portion use a console.

    Yeah, but one is made out of plastic, the other aluminum.

  • @NGUpremier the REAL reason companies use Windows is because most of them use specific programs and it's just not worth trying to rewrite it on a show computer.

    Everyone I know has 2 arms, so that means everyone in the world has 2 arms right? The only graphic designers I know that use a Mac are still in school. and there is a huge amount of hardware in the Macs that are outdated.

  • @NGUpremier Well they could, but i still don't see the point of buying a Mac so you can run Windows when you can buy a PC running Windows and put OSX on it (if there was any reason to do that, but I can't think of any)

    You know, the aluminum design is just for show. Aluminum is complete shit at dispersing heat, which is why they started making computers out of plastic in the first place, so if i can pay less for a product that won't overheat because of the materials, i'd rather go with that one

  • define headaches and when there is something called an anti-virus

    viruses are not a problem

  • I don't get this... Mac = No Virus... In what world was this ad made :S? 

  • Seriously? What bad experience did Steve have with a pc and viruses?? As long as you aren't downloading a bunch of risky bs you really shouldn't have a virus problem.

  • massive bullshit from apple. you cant just say that the competition has problems and glorify yourself like that. also, no shit you're gonna get viruses if you download 50 terrabytes of gay porn or whatever. mac users just buy dvds cuz they don't know how to use a computer

  • @MrP00sy actually fail my dad has VUZE (downloading movies and stuff) on a mac which is 4 years old and there is nothing wrong with it. it evens runs as fast as my new macbook pro which i got like 4 months ago

  • @XxnatrocksxX im talkin bout on pcs. since more than half the worlds computers run some version of windows, it makes more sense for ppl makin viruses to make windows viruses. so ppl who are tech-illiterate buy a pc, download their gay porn, and then blame the os for the viruses. and also, the 'running as fast as your macbook pro' have you actually done a test with something hardware intensive? like proper gaming or something like that?

  • @XxnatrocksxX Guess they're improving quick then...

  • thousands of viruses on your cheap $250 netbook without a virus program, maybe thats why people get viruses

  • Mac users are those people that have "free smileys" and "sparkly stickaz" in their toolbars, and people that still use IE, Windows is better, you just gotta use some brains to get a good set up.

  • The real messege is that both are great, PC PRINTS MONEY AND MAC GET U LAID.

  • after all these years, and Apple still haven't heard about Anti-virus..?

  • @1m2a3r4c5u6s people who don't know shit about pc's don't know what a virus scanner is so when they are downloading their porn they get virusses and say its pc's fault

    and since mac is pretty small hackers don't make virusses so mpeople think its better

  • @1m2a3r4c5u6s apple doesnt need anti-virus because viurus target windows and if u did run a anti virus on ur apple it makes it slower.

  • @kollmedafunk ppl dont make many viruses for macs because doing so is like a terrorist bombing a field of cows.

  • @1m2a3r4c5u6s Nope, because Apple doesn't have to use Anti-virus. 

  • @1m2a3r4c5u6s And the users don't know about maintenance or safe browsing

  • She obviously doesn't know how to use a PC if she has problems with Virus'.

  • Common sense 2011 - Best AV ever. If you don't have that then go with mac!

    (personally I use linux)

  • The term 'PC' comes from an IBM computer that was named so. Hence, PC was often used in place of the term 'IBM Compatible'. Although i take your point, it can be quite confusing for novices...

  • actually lion is 29 bucks, and so was snow leopard.... not 300 like windows. plus mac os X has softwares for photos, videos, music, websites, it has even piano lessions. who are the expensive ones?

  • @IGIprimigenia lol 300? were the fuck you buy from i got mine £30 lol

  • Comment removed

  • Mac top of the line= an arm, a leg, and your wallet burned in a fireplace

  • So? Macs get viruses too! Linux is fast, and never gets viruses.

  • @Chromiumos3125 Yes, you're right.... with the increasing amount of Macs being sold, it's getting more and more "economic" to develop viruses for mac too. But there are also viruses for various Linux distributions... just because there are Ubuntu, Suse, Knoppix etc. it's difficult to develop a virus for ALL Linux versions. And thanks to the community, the viruses are "hunt down" with just a short delay.

  • Where is the fast processor in a Mac?

  • @DaMoggen Oh sorry. All the money they where going to use on processor on MAC was used up on advertisement. Please see the HUNDREDS of MAC advertisements and parodies on this side --->

    x)

  • macs get viruses too,and macs also have headache problems, apple lies...

  • jesus , both OS are good .

    windows 7 is good , and mac os x is also as good as windows 7 .

    they're both fast , and reliable .

  • Press 2 twice for "Cokco"

  • A Mac is a PC made by Apple, dipshits.

  • Most of the time a computer gets a virus when the USER downloads shit that they shouldn't, it's the same on both Macs and Windows.

  • The name's 7... Windows 7.

  • The fact that anyone would choose that dweeb Mac over Patrick Warburton is very unbelievable.

  • Mac has viruses as well and if you get norton 360 for your pc, you are as safe as a titanium condom. :)

  • I want a gaming computer!

  • Comment removed

  • If your computer salesman sounds like Joe from Family Guy, chances are, I'm buying his product.

  • I never get viruses.. just install one virus protection program and dont be a douche bag downloading illegal software and your safe.

  • I'm Sorry MAC but your users just got fu**ed by a new Virus specially designed for Mac ... so shutup with the "NO VIRUS" shit!

  • @metallian999 You do know that this was uploaded in 2009, right?

  • The only reason a mac doesnt get any viruses is because people don't make them for macs. This is because no one fucking has a mac so there is no point to even make them.

  • I would want Joe Swanson as my computer :)

  • Hahaha this funny now let me get back to my Crysis 2....

  • thousands of viruses

    yeah if u click on weird emails

    stupid bitch

  • you don"t get viruses if you don't click the dancing pink pony.
