		<description>Well, what I mean is, apple engineered their proprietary hardware to run their competitors software.

(or to dumb it down even more, not saying your dumb but a lot of people don&#039;t speak great english)

Apple changed their computers so that they could run windows. Why did they do this? Because they FAIL as a company. After they did that, they STILL don&#039;t get as much people buying Apple computers.

I don&#039;t see why people like apple products so much.

With iPods, you can&#039;t drag and drop music, which is terrible for offline p2p.

(i love borrowing someone&#039;s music player and acquiring all their music without the fear of anti p2p companies emailing me, and without having to download all of it, but with itunes, it renames all the songs to a combination of 4 letters and numbers for the name of the file, so when you copy the contents of the ipod, you have to hope that the artist and title are there, and rename them)

Not with USB devices.

You just drag and drop, no renaming files.

Now you tell me which you prefer?</description>

		<description>Basciaclly PC users are getting tired and some very pissed off with Mac saying &quot;It just works!&quot;
and those pointless adverts with &quot;I&#039;m a Mac, I&#039;m a PC ect.&quot; Thats called bad advertising, saying that Macs are better just because they can make movies, music and what ever else, then going onto say that all PC&#039;s are good for is spreadsheets and office work.
LIES I TELL YE! Technically, Mac know full well that PC games are more prefered to be played of anybrand PC, where as Mac just supply Macs. PC&#039;s have hundreds, maybe even thousands of software/hardware companies manufacturing stuff for them. 
Ok, so what argonplatypus said that you can install Windows on a Mac...why bother? PC&#039;s come with it pre-installed and if you did, technically you&#039;ve just stripped it of the main things that make it a Mac in the first place! 

I can be biased now like Macintosh have been with their adverts on the internet and even on TV sometimes and say, PC&#039;s are more supreme than Macs because yes, they do do office stuff, which thereby makes Macs completely useless for the modern workplace, and not only that, so what if Macs can do games just like PCs? PCs can switch between work and play!

See? It&#039;s true...but it doesn&#039;t show both sides of the argument fairly does it? I prefer PCs soley on the fact that I can game to an uncanny extent, and get a whole load of work done relativley quickly because, like a Mac, all Microsoft Office programs are compatable with each other. 

I just thought it was a funny picture...but low and behold, the boasting Mac users complain! So I&#039;m sticking with PCs until Mac stop being biased, and even after that I&#039;d only get one if Macs could do the same things AND more of what a PC can do.

		<description>PC stands for &quot;Personal Computer&quot;  therefor all mac&#039;s are PC&#039;s, but not all PC&#039;s are macs.

That being said, what separates the two is the hardware that is being used for them separately, which are not interchangable between the systems.

However currently they are making &quot;Intel Macs&quot; that ARE using interchangable parts, hence the drop in cost, and ease of production.</description>

		<description>Ok, Depray, you caught my error.  I had typed &quot;MICROSOFT does make a profit, and thatâ€™s what PCs run on&quot;, when I meant to say that Microsoft makes a profit, and that&#039;s what&#039;s on most PCs.  Way to catch my error and exploit it, even when you knew what I meant.  Now, in the spirit of that, when you said &quot;But you were talking about the computer being to exsiencive not the OS&quot; I&#039;m PRETTY sure you meant &quot;but you were talking about the computer being TOO expensive, not the OS&quot;.  If you&#039;re going to criticize me on my slip of logic, you should at least try not to compromise yourself with simple spelling errors.  I also allowed part of my argument to slip past.  I had meant to add that PCs do periodically crash, more often than Macs, but that&#039;s because the OS has to compensate for a far greater variety of hardware.  That being said, my Windows system typically runs for weeks at a time without reboot, and I haven&#039;t had a system crash in over a year.  Why is this?  I&#039;ve configured my system to run optimally.  That&#039;s the way MOST macs come from the factory.  The point is, I LIKE tinkering with my system, something that Macs don&#039;t give me much of an opportunity to do.  I can play with hardware.  I can swap components out easily.  I have a true FrankenSystem that I built myself.  

The TRUE advantage that PCs have over Macs is that a user can build a PC at home from basic components, configure it to his own specifications, and put pretty much whatever OS he wants to on it (with the exception of OSX, that is).  With Mac, you can order it configured how you want, but with major limitations.  

Price:
the new Apple IMac, as shown on www.apple.com is $1,199.00.

Or you could buy this system http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3272628&amp;CatId=6
for $899.99.  Yeah, you&#039;ll still have to get a monitor, but you&#039;ll still save money.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, Depray, you caught my error.  I had typed &#8220;MICROSOFT does make a profit, and thatâ€™s what PCs run on&#8221;, when I meant to say that Microsoft makes a profit, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s on most PCs.  Way to catch my error and exploit it, even when you knew what I meant.  Now, in the spirit of that, when you said &#8220;But you were talking about the computer being to exsiencive not the OS&#8221; I&#8217;m PRETTY sure you meant &#8220;but you were talking about the computer being TOO expensive, not the OS&#8221;.  If you&#8217;re going to criticize me on my slip of logic, you should at least try not to compromise yourself with simple spelling errors.  I also allowed part of my argument to slip past.  I had meant to add that PCs do periodically crash, more often than Macs, but that&#8217;s because the OS has to compensate for a far greater variety of hardware.  That being said, my Windows system typically runs for weeks at a time without reboot, and I haven&#8217;t had a system crash in over a year.  Why is this?  I&#8217;ve configured my system to run optimally.  That&#8217;s the way MOST macs come from the factory.  The point is, I LIKE tinkering with my system, something that Macs don&#8217;t give me much of an opportunity to do.  I can play with hardware.  I can swap components out easily.  I have a true FrankenSystem that I built myself.  </p>

I totally agree with you about the holes and bloat (and let&#039;s face it, Apple and MS steal from each other, and they both ripped of Xerox).  I&#039;m told by an ex-MS employee that it&#039;s a corporate culture issue at MS, but I think it&#039;s just a result of the main flaw with the PC: the makers of the OS don&#039;t control the hardware, and there&#039;s a lot of it out there.  I&#039;m a former Amiga user who came to the PC world kicking and screaming, so I can relate.  I don&#039;t have a problem with macs, I just can&#039;t stand when people make false statements about either.</description>

		<description>Alec, there can never be an argument that MS has the market. Nobody&#039;s debating that. And naturally, people will write viruses for whichever OS has the highest share. The question is why can&#039;t the &quot;talented braintrust&quot; of the richest corporation in the world write code that isn&#039;t bloated, has security holes in it, and rips off OSX&#039;s interface and features? If they&#039;re so smart why didn&#039;t Windows 2000 have these features before OSX and not five years after? Talent?</description>

&lt;i&gt;They had to put a card in that can support more than two high definition monitors of at least 30&lt;/i&gt;

Wrong!  I have that card and it CAN handle two monitors, same size, same as the mac.  Why would it lose this ability just because it&#039;s on a PC?  That makes no sense.  It was developed primarily for the PC.  That&#039;s where the money is to be made.

I renew my call of Bullshit.</description>

		<description>Sorry, Alec. You can&#039;t call bullshit on a link until after you read the article:

&quot;Notes: Mac Pro uses four 512MB DIMMs for increased performance; Dell uses 2 1GB DIMMs. Dell is also available in â€œ750Wâ€ configuration for $470 less; this system apparently doesnâ€™t provide enough power to graphics cards to support more than two monitors. Mac Proâ€™s PCI slots can be configured in four combinations of speeds. Dell LCD display is â€œfreeâ€ as part of a current promotion. Dellâ€™s specs for the 690 note 4 DIMM slots for a maximum of 8GB RAM, but other documentation mentions available expansion to 16 DIMM slots for a total of 64GB RAM; Dellâ€™s specs also conflict on hard drive and optical drive bays.&quot;

They had to put a card in that can support more than two high definition monitors of at least 30&quot; like the &quot;budget level&quot;, as you called it, card in the Mac. And the Dell display, as noted in the notes, is &#039;free&#039; with the computer so the Apple wasn&#039;t configured with a monitor in order to keep it fair, ie. only list what the customer actually ordered.

Oh and Matt Damon! to yo, casemods!  ^_^</description>
