This is funny stuff. On EVERY Mac/PC thread on the Internet, you get ONE conversation:

Mine's better!! No, mine! No, you suck, mine's better! Uh-uhhhh... mine!

This does remind me of something: my two boys (3 and 6) during a normal day.

I guess people never grow past the need for being "better" than someone else.

I own 9 Macs in my business. Love them, most of the time. But in the end, they're tools. They, like PC's, don't always live up to my expectations. But most of the time, they do.

So let's see here........

MAC USERS proclaim they are "intelligent" , yet they are completely prone to marketing that utilizes blatant polarization and association

Kinda pathetic guys, honestly,

@luvuwynxxx well i know this is a little late but... apple wasn't the first to have a desktop computer, that was IBM. Apple bought the GUI that we all know and love from Xerox, so they didn't invite that either. Apple hired Bill Gates to write a form of basic for them, and while there he learned how the GUI worked and wrote his own, which is why Apple lost the lawsuit with Microsoft so many years ago. I know that Microsoft didn't invent the desktop etc but give credit were credit is due

Well for the guys who dont know, Apple is the 1st ever company to give us the modern day desktop, and they were the 1st to make the desktop O.S, but apple was busy selling its hardware and didn't bother to copywrite its software, which microsoft used as their own to create windows or i should say they stole it from apple and then copywrited it. So all you people who think the start button, the taskbar, the desktop, the icons, etc were created by microsoft think again....shame on bill gates!!!

Any price is right. So long as that price is one thousand dollars or more!

Mac:

Useless toy, good tool

PC:

okey tool, extremly good toy

The thing I like about PC'S is that Apple Computers are technically inclusive into the whole PC'S. Just because it runs '"firmware" if you will. Doesn't make it a category. If they were trying to attack Microsoft why not do it directly? Rather than make up lies trying to fool the public?

@topito2

what are you talking about? apple does that not microsoft. MS almost never releases any commecrials of their own and the ones they release are TERRIBLE. windows pcs are the most popular because microsoft knows how to do business better than apple does

[topito2]

Microsoft manipulates "media" to make you think PCs are the best

@mishterpreshident  You: Oh you sillies arguing over Mac or PC, *by the way i use mac*, but that doesn't mean anything *except that mac is better than pc since I'm being such an exemplary mac user*Period) I say shove it.
