Forums - Website Topics - Should we get an Apple Forum?

Where should we talk about Apple? Off Topic? As vlad just displayed, it seems almost all PC users on this site hate Apple, so starting an Apple thread in the PC discussion seems like a sure-fire way to make a thread that doesn't end well.

 

Yes, but then I get a nice little place to post about the "Apple Tax." So it works both ways.

 

What the heck is the Apple Tax?

Apple Computers are PCs.

I don't think he's only talking about the computers but also their other products.

It is just like the Nike, Harley, Sony, and tax. Products that are overpriced yet under perform compared to the available competition.

As much as I love ducati motorcycles, you are paying for a name. I can get a motorcycle with similar performance, but 1/3 the maintenance, for 1/2 the cost.

EDIT: when I say sony though, I refer to their TV's and other overpriced products. Granted they are the best you can typically get something essentially the same for less.

you will have to excuse him. He has wandered out of the Killzone 2 clan thread and must be confused. They don't make much sense there either.

No, because I will get banned for trolling it.

You say potato, I say potato.

 

....Wait, that doesn't quite work out in written form.

 

Nordlead, I've never heard of those kinds of "taxes" before, interesting. :P

 

So which would be a better idea, should we post Mac and iPod related subjects on the Off Topic forum or the PC forum?



I'd say PC forum, unless you're talking about something related to sales or gaming.

And seriously, if people troll, report their asses. They'll either learn to post more constructively, or stay out of Apple threads, or eventually earn themselves a permaban.
