Neither....the ps3
| famousringo said: Wow, I can't believe the people who think you can't right-click or use Word on a Mac. Mac's have always had Word and have supported two-button mice without third party software for at least a decade. As to the complaint that Macs cost too much, they cost roughly as much as any other similarly powerful retail PC that you would get from Dell or Lenovo. You're not complaining about the cost of a Mac versus a PC, you're complaining about the cost of a retail PC versus a custom PC built from wholesale parts. One final word to those who tout superior Mac security: Don't get too comfortable. It was a long honeymoon, but malware targeting Mac OS X has finally been seen in the wild. I'm not saying you should rush out and buy an AV program right now, but following the same best practices that PC users should follow would be a good idea. Don't click on any suspicious links and don't enter in your password unless you're dealing with a trustworthy program. |
I'm complaining about the cost of a Mac to a custom PC. Why the hell can't I?
I can buy PC components and build a great gaming PC for $700. A Mac that could do the same, even with a standard video card, would likely cost $1500.
Sorry, but there is no incentive for me to ever buy a Mac. You can't play games on them, and even if you boot Windows or something on a Mac, you've spent double what you should have to run a computer.
And for those who talk about Mac security...I dont' even have an anti-virus program on my Windows PC. Ever try not going to sites that'll riddle your PC with viruses? If I did, I'd just have a simple anti-virus program installed, and BAM, problem solved, selling point on Macs gone.
LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
PC's are just a fad. Once Apple Logo Block Game 2 and Super Duper Breakout are released. People will forget all about the PC.
@WofW
I love that clip and as a mac to PC convert I completely understand his frustration
Mac. the one thing I like about macs in general is that they run virtually silently. My PC sounds like a beast with its crazy fans and stuff. Newer PC's are probably better now, but nothing is quite as silent or sexy as a Mac.
though I do have a P4 with Windows and Linux (screw dualbooting, I have a removable hard drive bay with two hard drives 
)
I also have a PowerbookG4 which has served me well. I love expose!
My next purchase will be a mac mini when Starcraft2 comes out.
I know at least 2 staunch MS people who are at least investigating Linux. I had been arguing with them for years now about how much Windows is teh suck. Now I have to face the task of not rubbing it in
As for documents and spreadsheets, i prefer Microsoft Office 2000 or so. Anything newer than that has too much eye candy and the extra buttons and characters and crap just annoy me now. You have no idea how much I've wanted to kill that stupid talking paperclip!
But when prices becomes the issue, $0 for Openoffice which does everything MS does (plus publish to PDF) is a way better value to me than $150 for a legit copy of Office. Students can get the student version I think for about $50, but in reality most everyone just downloads MS Office off the net or pirates it from a friend.
@ WoW's clip: He seems more like someone who doesn't know how to use it, than the thing being faulty.

My PC doesn't make any noise. I find it unsettling after the previous model that sounded like a 360.
I'm a linux man myself.. preference is PCLinuxOS (get the free .iso download at pclinuxos.com). Can boot from the livecd and try before you fly. Then dual boot (or single boot) winblows and Linux.. so you loose nothing, gain so much. (or you can run Windows insides linux via vmware). I'm definately NOT a windows person nor a Mac person. At all. I was an Amiga person... waiting for something better than Windows or Mac and PCLinuxOS fits the bill for me.
mac all the way
