Sick of the Bullshit

Sick of the Bullshit
Right, a new article for 2011, I would like to announce to the world (or just the users of this website) that I really am sick of all this bullshit. I am really sick of constantly having the same argument with retarded mac users. I'm even more sick of certain companies managing to brainwash a generation with this idea that technology is a fashion statement.

We Hate Macs is turning over a new leaf in 2011, No more am I going to type new responses to every little loser that comes along and sends me a message.

What I am going to do first is cover the points that are made constantly by mac users and respond to them as I would in any email, comment or message. This will be the article I link people to in the future if they ask something that I have previously covered.

Some people who have bothered to browse the site may have noticed the 'Response-o-matic' on the stuff section of the site. I will be finishing this soon; I have just never bothered to compile a list of these facile statements.
(please note that these are real questions and statements that get made all the time)

  • Section 1 – Apple, OSX & Computers
      1

      Q: Macs are better because you can run windows on them
      A: How is that a benefit if you are saying that windows is shit anyway? Also, what sort of twisted logic is that? You are trying to say that because windows can run on a variety of platforms, this makes windows, and in turn PCs Shitter than Macs. I understand of course that you could say "Yes, but this is because you can run any OS on a Mac, I have more choice". In my personal opinion, If I can run windows, linux and unix on a system, I don't need to have OSX. Windows can already do EVERYTHING that OSX can do. The reason that the PC cannot use OSX is purely to do with OSX being locked down by Apple, not because it wouldn't be able to.
      2
      Q: Macs are more stable than PCs
      A: Are they? Or are you just too incompetent to use a computer?
      The Positive but sometimes frustrating thing about PCs is that they are very flexible when it comes to configuration and specification. Windows is also incredibly good at handling this vast array of Hardware. Consider if you will a variety of combinations of just 250,000 different pieces of hardware in 1 million different systems. The Possible different combinations within each PC is massive. Windows 7 has done an especially good job at managing this huge hardware base and remaining stable.
      The reason macs seem to run more stably is that the OS expects only a small array of Hardware and knows exactly how to use these hardware sets. Much like a console. Is this impressive, or just a happy fact of the matter?
      If you make sure that all of the hardware in your PC is up to date, working and compatible then there will be no problems. Windows will run just as stably as OSX.
      3
      Q: Macs Don't crash
      A: Eerm, are you insane? Every system in the world goes down. Even supercomputers crash. There is no stopping it. All you can do is try to avoid it. Apple macs aren't above reproach. Every system crashes because unfortunately the human race is imperfect. Even coders make mistakes. It doesn't take much to confuse a computer; you just have to feed it something it wasn't expecting. No, not your penis apple mac users. I'm talking about either a critical part of the kernel or application doing something simple like a program counter being set to an incorrect address, or a buffer overflow writes to unallocated memory. These things and a vast variety of things can be caused by programmer error, incorrect testing or even hardware error. What I am saying is that if you think that Macs don't crash you would have to have no brains. Here is a further video confirmation of you being wrong.
      4
      Q: Macs Look Better than PCs
      A: Do they, or is that a personal opinion? In my opinion macs turn the computer using world into a load of carbon copy idiots walking around getting shitter and shitter at computing because it makes everything so mind numbingly simple you don't have to use your brain. Surely it can't be fashionable to conform so much?
      5
      Q: Macs are simpler to use
      A: I would agree with that, they might be. I don't want to have things simplified for me. I would prefer to have the option to do more advanced stuff. And really. If you find windows complicated, you need a lobotomy.
      6
      Q: PCs get viruses all the time, You have to pay for Antivirus
      A:I haven't had a virus in about 7 years. If viruses are so common, why don't I get them? I don't run an antivirus program either. I individually scan downloaded files that I suspect of being dodgy, but generally I'm not the sort of massive retard who just downloads crap and installs it all the time. You do realise of course that if macs had a 90%+ market share that they would be targeted a whole lot more
      7
      Q: Macs NEVER get viruses, There are no viruses for macs
      A: There are viruses for macs, there are antivirus programs for macs. However, if you were building a Virus, would you design it for a system that has the smallest marketshare or would you make it for the computers that are in most schools, homes and businesses?
      8
      Q: It is hard to install windows
      A: Yes, if you are a massive idiot it is. You know how simple it is. Put the disk in the drive, boot the computer, click the button when it tells you to. Follow the instructions on screen. I know you're a mac user, but c'mon.
      9
      Q: OSX comes with iLife, for free, windows only has like, paint
      A: Windows is also only like £200. A mac is £1000s you get a free £79 piece of crappy software that makes videos that look like everyone elses, slideshows that look like everyone elses and you can get equivalent software for the PC for free. You're retarded
      10
      Q: You just don't like macs because you can't afford one
      A: I own a mac, please see this
  • Section 2 – The Site & Videos
      1
      Your site looks shit
      A: Thanks, great stuff. Can you send me your credentials so I can confirm whether I give a shit about your off hand reckoning of my years of web design experience. Much like the idea of macs looking better than PCs, Some people like the site, others don't. Some of course just say things because they think it's going to bother me.
      2
      Your videos are shit
      A: Generally these comments are made about the original set of videos uploaded in 2007. Yeah, I would agree that the production value of a set of videos that I made in 2007, before I had even really done any AV stuff. Aren't particularly visually impressive. What I will say though is whether you like them or not, a lot of people do. If however you are talking about the newer videos. Get fucked. They look fine. Better and less shit than a lot of the weird rubbish you see on youtube. (BOXXY)
      3
      You swear too much, makes you sound like a kid.
      A: Do I? Do you know a lot of kids that swear and also use words like buffer under run and stack overflow? What I say is not lessened by the fact that I swear. In my eyes it's improved. In my eyes I am saying exactly what I want to say. If you are too precious to get past this fact, I'm probably not the person you want to contact about this. Find someone who will be pleasant to you and agree with your opinion.
      4
      Q: it's not WE hate macs, it's YOU hate macs
      A: The WE refers to the community of people who hate macs and who are welcomed here. It also can if you'd prefer refer to the variety of articles on the site not written by me
      5
      Q: Fuck you!
      A: Sometimes I get single emails like this, Not sure where it goes section-wise, but I will either not reply or simply say "No thanks".
  • Section 3 – Me and my parentage
      1
      Q: You're a fucking retard
      A: Not at all, I don't know if I could have my qualifications if I was.
      2
      Q: You probably never went to school
      A: Unfortunately, I did. I may not have enjoyed school. But when I was about 12 I discovered how brilliant computers are and just concentrated on that. But nice assumption.
      Generally, this comes from people who use your in place of you're.
      3
      Q: This is a weird one, Sometimes people tell me that they don't think I had a happy family life.
      A: I don't see how you can make that assumption without knowing anything about me. But no, I had a perfectly happy family life. Still do.
  • Section 4 – You and your sexual relationship
      1
      Q: I had sex with your mother
      A: No you didn't.
      2
      Q: You need to get a girlfriend
      A: Why the fuck would I want to do that? I've had girlfriends in the past and they are fucking mental timewasting retards. If you honestly think sex is worth that headache then you are sorely mistaken. I prefer expanding my intellectual horizons rather than becoming a bored, frustrated boyfriend who spends all his money keeping an annoying woman happy.
  • And finally, There are certain things that will instantly make me dislike you, if you are wanting to contact me to have a discussion, don't do any of the following.

    • Say anything unrelated to the subject, i.e about my parentage, intelligence or physical attributes.
    • Just try to insult me, it won't work and will go nowhere
    • Ask me why I really don't like macs. If I need to explain that, you obviously haven't read anything on the site.
    This is where I will finish this part of the article. Part 2, Coming soon...

    Over 90% of people use Windows, it is not a contest it is a massacre, and Windows wins in a epic way. Do not get me wrong I have used every popular OS out there except for the 6000 shitty Linux distros out but I have used Ubuntu, mint, BSD, osx, every version of Windows from 3.1 above and I have to say for me Windows is the best out especially Win 8 since I added a touchscreen and got a touchscreen laptop Win 8 boots faster than any other OS and outperforms any other OS I have used As for Mobile OS's Android is 65% of the mobile smartphone market, to all the people that say the ios came out first, no Palm OS then blackberry and Windows Mobile then Android was in development 3 years before the iphone the issue is that the original company lost funding because of apple trying to stop them then Google bought out Android to save the project, yes apple bought stock in the original Android CO' and used their voting shares to bankrupt the company, then Google came to the rescue

    I use both Macs and PC's. Don't love or hate either of them they're just tools. I work in IT so I can do most things with a computer. I do tend to use a Mac for personal use purely because they are (as stated by the article) simpler to use and boot and shutdown quicker (11 seconds startup, 15 seconds shutdown on my Macbook Air) no other reason than that. Did build a Hackintosh once just for the hell of it Dell XPS 420 running Snow Leopard. I do have one question though and I'm not looking for a flame war this is a genuine question. I keep hearing how you have to use a PC for more complicated things and you need a PC to make it do the things you want but no one has said what those things are. I've been trying to think of something that I do on my PC that I can't do on my Mac. Maybe there is loads but I can't think what. I'm talking everyday stuff here, not bespoke systems for running NASA control etc.
    Ok, fire away and remember I am not a Fanboy either way so save your insults.

    I don't understand why windows users are so elitist. Mac users generally don't pick fights about this kind of thing. In my experience, it's always the windows user who has to make a snide remark when I pull out my macbook pro to do work.

    Yes, there are things that windows computers do better: games, cheaper, etc. But, there is plenty that mac does better (i.e. HD photo editing, video/audio editing, etc).

    Also, a common network setup for lab type computers is to have a linux cluster separate from the main computer lab. With macs, integrating both the regular network and the linux cluster is far simpler and more efficient than trying to match a windows lab to the linux cluster.

    Finally, I would like to point out that I don't believe I read one single fact from your responses above. Most responses were you crying and spewing elitist propaganda out of your mouth. Stop being so butthurt. Mac and Windows both have their place and they both have unique features.

    All of what you said was your opinion. No facts were contained within. So don't moan at me about something you are already doing yourself.

    Great article! 2 thumbs up! I hate all those dumb ass Mac fags. They try to force us their crapples. They don't even care about logic where you get a suppierior PC for cheaper than a fail-Mac. You could even get a suppierior Alienware for cheaper than an entry lvl Mac crap.
    Also PC FTW!

    You are just like me.
    I hate macs with all of my life. I read a comment above that said that vaio is pointless. Excuse me, what about macs? what is the use of them? I honestly think that macs, no, ipads are the most pointless devices ever made.
    I love android and windows, but despise iOS.

    I found your website by searching "I hate windows I use Mac." I honestly think that you're mildly retarded.

    I own a 2007 Windows Vista Vaio & a 2002 OS X Tiger iMac. The Vaio has double the RAM, a faster processor, is 5 years newer, but the iMac shits all over it. The Vaio = practically worthless. I'm buying a new MacBook Pro.

    Thank you for this retardedly idiotic quote, it's so hilariously false:

    "Windows is also only like £200. A mac is £1000s you get a free £79 piece of crappy software that makes videos that look like everyone elses, slideshows that look like everyone elses and you can get equivalent software for the PC for free. You're retarded"

    No, you're retarded. Liar.

    You don't factor in the cost of the machine to use your £200 software. OS X Mountain Lion is available for $19. Mac comes with TextEdit, full featured editor. Windows? Notepad, that's purposely crippled to up-sell you to buy Office/Word for $100+. And there isn't ANY free equivalent video editor for Windows.

    Ohhh, little Mac fag pissed off about the truth regarding the Mac.
    Explain to me why you would choose a worthless and weak Mac for $5000 bucks when you can get a vastly Supierier Alienware for only $1000? Mac can't even run games. It doesn't even have DirectX on it. Bottom line Mac sucks and is a POS.
    Apples slogan is also:
    "weak outdated technology for inflated prices"

    I could make a Hackintosh with custom hardware for half the price any windows computer you could make and it would shit all over it. But, I don't feel like sitting around for a day and modifying the kernel, so I choose to buy it assembled, correctly from Apple - with a beautiful case.

    I know the original article poster said that a computer shouldn't be a fashion statement, but there is a flaw in that. Computers are such amazing inventions and when you really delve down deep into how a computer works, it's quite a beautiful thing. Representing that amazing inner-beauty by pleasing aesthetics on the outside is not wrong at all. Plus, there's a better chance of you buying something that looks nicer, cooler, better, etc. If looks didn't matter, we'd all be driving around in smart cars, and prius'.

    @Hunterkill007

    Perhaps when you realize your "$5000 bucks" statement is false, that you should have looked at the Apple website for pricing before you said as much, and when you learn how to correctly spell 'Superior' (not 'Supierier,' you retard lol,) then your comment will read as retarded to you as it does to the rest of us who know what we're talking about. But that's okay, you exemplify a general Windows user: Stupid. Whereas I exemplify a general Mac user: holier than thou and full of himself :)
