Time for a new Apple Hate Thread

[SFDMALEX]

And here it is :P

So whats with this wave of shite out of the apple camp? I this I that.....when is the next Iget a life product coming out?

I not so much dislike the actually products as I do the obsessed apple lovers. It seems that they live Ilife, as in a whole life style...Always hear some clowns on the subway saying "hey did you see the new I_(insert anything from thongs to phones).


Im still proud to say that the only apple product in my posetion serves as a great coaster! :P

[Max Power]

I pretty much feel the same way about Leafs fans... :P

[SFDMALEX]

I pretty much feel the same way about Leafs fans... :P

Well I like the Leafs because they are a home town team.

But Im cool with Montreal too, so I guess that doesnt make me a Leaf fan at all :P

[Stoopie]

*sigh* Here we go again about the Leafs ;) Don't even know what sport they play :P

ontopic: I haven't got anything from Apple myself, and I intend to keep it that way. Unless they invent something like an upgraded microwave or something. The iWave perhaps? Well eitherway, everyone's probably going to get one, and that makes me not buy one. That's my main reason for not even hesitating about Apple products, they ain't coming in!

[TopGearNL]

LOL!

I hate Applelovers!

I have an Ipod mini myself but nevermind :mrgreen:

[TNT]

well SFDMALEX you are saying anyone who like a brand or product to the point where they want it to be there life that it is a bad thing?........ ummm look at Ferrari and porsche fans.....F1 fans...... etc the list goes on. so are you saying someone that favors one brand of the other is wrong?.......no one not even you can not admit to doing that....



by the way doesn't it say SFDMALEX - Scuderia Ferrari????

[ae86_16v]

I love Apple :)

- - -



You know what though, I surf the mobile phone forums a lot. And now whenever new phone comes out they GOTTA compare it to the damn iPhone.

Oh, the new Moto Q is coming out, "So what, the iPhone will destroy it." Oh the new Nokia is coming out, "So what, the iPhone is better."

Fuck, what does everything have to be compare to the freaking iPhone.

LG released an "iPhone" (touch screen, buttonless phone) before Apple did..

http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/13/video-of-lgs-ke850-its-no-poser/

And it will also be available before the iPhone.

Oh there are far more touchscreen phones outthere if that's what you mean.. Look at the T-Mobiel MDA series for example.

I plan to have such an MDA phone with an Internet connection on it :D Would love to just browse the internet when college is boring me, I could just visit Jabbasworld :D

Uh I dont live and breath Ferrari. I love Ferrari, its special to me, but you will never hear me mention Ferrari in every conversation. Actually no one really knows that I love ferrari, and actually no one really knows that I love cars, only when someone comes by and sees my stack of books and a few posters does it become apparent " shit I never knew your into cars" :P

Anyone who LIVES by a brand has issues sorry.

My interests span from military, aviation, music to automobiles. I dont live by one brand.

However this new mac generation is really getting into the concept of iLife :P :wink:




As for touchscreen phones. I had one 7 years ago :P You know they days when you used to connect your PDAs to a land phone line :wink:

while even some heavy Apple fans that i know, don't talk about Apple 24/7 but understand what you mean about the people that are like that (gamers are the best example)

[RC45]

All Apple stuff sucks.. period.. ;) :P

[Mers]

I like my iPod....

I liked my old iPod, but then it broke, and then I hated it, until I went and bought a new one

Which I like

Until it breaks

[RC45]

Oh - and all Apple crap is over priced...

[novass]

I dont like any Apples I cant eat.

[RC45]

Oh... and all Apple crap irritatingly makes Apple-users adopt a bogus "coolness" that is really not cool at all ;) :P

[chest3r]

I have an Ipod, so, I'm cool !! :mrgreen: :fist:

[RC45]

Every time I see some one with an iPod I really just want to walk up the them, yank the ear phone cords as I knee them in the face and then shove the bloody iPod down their throat and then tie the white cord round their neck and watch as their eyes bulge out and they gasp for air.

:)

Stupid bloody iPods.. but then again I didn't egt the stupid Walkman or Discman phase either...

I guess good and evil really do exist :wink:

What are you some fucking genious?

[HeilSvenska]

I love Apple pies...for eating. I do hate apple and those muthaf*cking "I'm Mac, I'm PC." "Ohhh. I can edit my homemade gay porn on my quicktime editor~." "I can show my boyfriend my shiny Liberace Edition iPod~." I effing hate Apple!!!!!!

BUT, I do see an iPhone as something desirable. Not because it's an Apple, just because it has no keypads. Just a screen. That is pretty nifty stuff. I mean, I do know that it's going to develop a lovely patina on the screen sooner than you think, and it's going to snap in half whenever you sit down, and it'll self destruct so that the Apple employees can con you another $600. Still, that screen technology has potential. Hopefully, the thing's perfected soon and everyone follows suit.

[Paul Fucking Walker]

You need an iDildo bitch.

[acmarttin]

I'm an Apple only user. My excuse is that professionally I am a graphic artist. Although I admit I can't really defend that excuse at all. Except I can tell you, you will very very very very rarely meet a professional* graphics person that does not use Apple.

And that's why :bah:

[HeilSvenska]

Hmmmmm. Is there a software that you cannot run on a PC that's not Mac-based?

[TNT]

well there isn't a major case for or against using Apple.

an apple interface is more user friendly, you have less bugs, crashes, updates etc. with an apple, it looks better :P , and runs smoother and faster then most PCs.

so i am right....... :P like just upgrading all the software. A PC gets some sort of update at least once a month. on some thing that is on its harddrive. that alone is stating the quality of product. when I have had my Apple for a year and had one update for iTunes and one for the OS.

My father is an electronics engineer who uses multi million dollar software and he gets updates at his work every week :P Is that bad product?

iTunes? Who gives a shit about iTunes :P

My system is a full on audio studio, video/photo studio, and a gaming machine. And its faster and more stable then any mac I have ever worked on :P

yes IMO any product that has to be updated/upgraded/changed often isn't thought out and build properly, now that isn't including wear and tear.

iTunes? Who gives a shit about iTunes :P
millions of people around the world

Funny all I have to do is copy and paste MP3s into my Creative player withouht any software what so ever :P

I plug in the USB, it opens up the player, and all I do is drag the files into it.


I have iTunes on my PowerBook and it seems much more complicated :P

I guess it sucks when you are constantly updating security features to keep your proudct immune to very latest threats. :P

iTunes is a media player/store. with an Ipod you can do the same just plug it in an drag and drop files to play music, videos, etc. Now i personally have not bought anything off of iTunes' store. but drag and drop comparsion is equal.

So by this logic you'd rather use an outdated piece of software rather than apply updates that improve performance or add functionality?

who says i use out of date software? i would rather do proper R&D from a company so i wouldn't have to update all the time is my point. but for example is my OS out of date and useless b/c i have only updated once?.... i don't think so.

Actually, yes it is. No matter how you want to look at it, once an update for whatever software you are using is available and you don't add it, you are now using an outdated piece of software. Whether you deem that update necessary is up to you, but the fact still remains that it is now outdated. I too have pieces of software where the update didn’t add anything that I cared for or it simply changed things I didn’t want changed and as such they weren’t installed. Simply put, those are now outdated pieces of software.

My initial point though was to you saying that a piece of software that is constantly being updated isn’t a well built piece of code. That is absurd. Software that is constantly updated is software that is being fully supported and in many cases improved, and there is always something that can be improved upon.
You being an Apple supporter (you are one, right?) though makes why you think this way a little clearer. Macintosh computers have always been built with a fire-and-forget nature. Once you turn it on the first time you never have to change or tweak anything ever again. An idiot proof computer solution if you will. The same can be said about their software too. That is my main problem with the Mac. I want to be able to tweak to my heart’s content. I want a fully expandable computer where I can change the components whenever I feel like it, etc. This is where the PC shines and the Mac falters.

i agree with you on the second part. but i think a software system that has to be updated constantly isn't properly setup the first time. I am a fan of both PC and Mac yet when people just put down Macs for no reason. but with the custom changes and what not, "tweaking", you correct PCs win. but I am one that believes that why mess with something that works better then normal. and that isn't just with computers.

but no i upgrade anything and everything that comes my way.

[Minacious]

There was a time when I absolutely hated Macs because they were nothing more than a trendy item pretending to be a computer. They were underpowered, very simple computers that looked cute sitting on the desktop. That has since changed and Macs can now be had that are just as powerful as PCs. The expandability still isn’t there, but I don’t think it ever will be since Macs are, like I said above, the idiot proof computer solution. That is my biggest complaint with Macs right now. I build all of my machines and they are constantly evolving as the technology changes. The fact that I can crack open the PC and change any of the components in it are a huge plus on the PC’s side. In my eyes this should be the definition of a computer.
I also find it funny when Macs users like to say that their machines never crash like PCs do. I have crashed more Macs then I ever have PCs when pushing the machine. This is where that “idiot proof” title I gave the Mac and not the PC comes into play. If you know what you are doing, adjusting, tweaking, and changing then the PC will crash very little, if ever under normal operation parameters. Most PC users with the constantly crashing computers have no clue what the hell they are doing and in many cases are the cause of whatever made the PC crash. The Mac holds your hand during almost every operation so the non-computer savvy user has very little chance of messing anything up. That is where the Mac shines.

[philip]

Apple has always been able to make their products unique enough to command a much higher price. They are more stylish and they have great TV Commercials.

What was it the IMac. a combination monitor and computer in a semi clear plastic shell, those just sold like hot cakes, twice or three times as much as a regular PC. First they were only white, then you could get them in colors, ooh. Sound familar.

What do people who bought them do with them now. I still have monitors I use, I bought ten years ago.

Electronics as art really does not make sense, they become obsolete almost overnight.

But Apple sure knows how to hype their product.

[RC45]

I have had the displeasure of migrating hundred of users from Macs to PC's int he corporate world.

What a bucket of crap these computers were, and their pathetic data storage models and stupid driver setups etc.

We could migrate about 40 PC users per day - the best we ever managed was 10 Mac users a day - that is how convoluted and cumbersome getting data off and out of the myriad of storage locations and mechanisms.

Add to the this to stupid none-central network and security models Mac use and you have the makings of the most pathetic and pointless office automation tool in the history of the world since the invention of the poorly received coal fired crotch warmer.
