1. Comment - Mac fanboys should get a life and some Windows 7 common sense

   (Oct 13, 2009 - 7:09 PM)

   *facepalm* Macs are just as vulnerable to viruses as Windows. Nobody WRITES VIRUSES for Macs for the same reason that few companies write software in general for it: the pitiful marketshare. So every time you brag about lack of attention from virus writers, you're pointing out a fundamental weakness of your platform.
   
   I'll happily deal with the potential for viruses -- which amounts to running a anti-virus software, something Apple recommend for Mac users, too -- to have access to the widest array of software.
   
   Of course, the typical response from a Mac zealout is that they Windows, too. *lol*
   
   Mac user: "My daddy's stronger than your daddy!"
   Windows user: "Huh? My dad can lifte way more than yours."
   Mac user: "Nut uh... my dad can lift more, if your daddy helps."
   
   *rofl*
   
   It's like if I say my dad can lift more than your dad, so you response that your dad can life more... as long as my dad helps. *rofl*

2. Comment - Mozilla: 1.6 million downloads and counting

   "Firefox crashes on a regular basis on my MacBook Pro 10.5.3."
   
   Since when did anything crash on a Mac?! I thought His Holyness (Steve Jobs) anointed each one with blessed oils to ensure flawless operation?
   
   Anyhoo, go Firefox!

3. Comment - NPD: Apple dominates the high-end PC market

   (May 20, 2008 - 6:27 PM)

   I'm glad that others can see how misleading this report is.
   
   Imagine you buy two machines, identical down to the model number. You get a discount on one (a sale, perhaps), and pay full retail for the other. Is the one you paid more for 'high end' compared to the other? No! That's not what 'high end' means to computer users; it doesn't refer to price, it refers to position on the power spectrum. A 'high end' machine is closer to the bleeding edge. A $1000 Apple is a 'low end' machine by PC standards.
   
   Moreover, the price of a 'high end' machine is a moving target, so it's nonsensical to define that phrase in terms of an arbitrary price point, count Apple's slowest machines as 'high end', and proclaim them winners of the high end market.
   
   A more accurate title for this report would be "Apple Computers Cost More Per Clock Cycle Than PCs", but that wouldn't be news, would it?
