Mwahaha, Macs rule...

...and now you can all join in by using even more Mac software - Safari browser for windows, yay.

http://www.apple.com/uk/safari/

*hmmm, must think of more cunning plans to indoctrinate the misguided masses*

Yeah, um no. I like to play my computer games. Mac isn't supported on most of them. Second, PC's are upgradeable, Mac's are less so.

I'm not trying to bash Mac's, but there are somethings that PC has going for it that Mac lacks. And vice versa.

And at the top of my list is cost. I can make or buy an exceptional PC for less money than it costs to buy a low-end Mac.

I like to play NWN, that's supported; my needs are fulfilled

It's a genuine Catch-22 - there are fewer games because less gamers have macs, less gamers have macs because there are fewer games available.

It's also why I have a mac and a pc (and a linux laptop).

Anyone else getting irritated because iTunes keeps wanting to install Safari?

Not that Macs are bad... just that I really don't like being force-fed cross-product marketing. If I could tell it once and for all to forget it, I'd be much, much happier...

Spirits Reborn · 04-27-2008, 08:59 PM

hmm.. as far as I've known. Safari has been available on pc...for quite awhile. A year at least.

Although that doesn't make much sense to use it, because there's already firefox

.

Although I've seen this comparison between Macs and PCs going sooo many times. Its like comparing a Moter Cycle with a Car. Both are used for transportation, but are made and configured in totally different ways. You can't go around saying "My moter cycle is better than your car because its easier to configure and upgrade! " Because they're not made the same way. (Hardware/software wise). Its a totally different ballgame.

Here's something to do to Maccies...

Spirits Reborn · 04-28-2008, 01:37 AM

i wanna try that norton virus prank.. TOo bad its not real!

Ilander · 04-28-2008, 01:51 AM

Well, they did actually code the virus, and it did work as advertised on a macbook pro with built-in accelerometer....but, I doubt it'll ever get marketed

Too bad, 'cuz I would happily buy one for the eventuality of one of my friends' buying a Mac...

Friends, don't let friends buy Macs.

What I despise is every QuickTime upgrade installing iTunes automatically...so after every QuickTime upgrade, I have to uninstall iTunes...

If anything this just proves that Apple realise that they suck and need to push their products to the non-fanatics if they want to get any attention!
