- Steve Jobs, BusinessWeek, August 18, 2003

The line about Starbucks was priceless.

Woah, first to post!

I can't believe they actually told you to go to buymusic.com instead of waiting for the Windows release of iTunes. Steve Jobs is going to have that support person's head on a stick. People have been known to disappear for lesser offenses.

I wouldn't mind a bigger penis but why the hell would anyone want larger balls?



"I'm not happy with the amount of nutsack numbness I get from riding a bike. I want MORE nutsack numbness! More nutsack numbness! MORE NUTSACK NUMBNESS!"



Funny call, John.

John, please tell me you are recording these. You could make a John Hargraves Prank Call Greatest Hits! I'd download/steal...er... buy it!

you can only sell a recording of a phone call if both people agree to it.



or depending on what state both ends of the phone call happen to be in...

ok, so don't sell it....just happen to need to store it on here, and leave a few buttons to find it.....



*whistles and looks around the room innocently*

I have a sudden urge to phone apple, and when they ask what colour the apple is, just say i dunno, i'm colourblind! and see what they say!

But it might work better if i actually had an apple!

Why don't you support PCs?



Because we're Apple.



Thank you Mr. Obvious, any more words of wisdom?

haha...maybe he doesn't know why? maybe he doesn't know anything about computers...like most apple users

ElChingon, I don't normally partake in n00b bashing, but if you make a statement like that again, I may have to make an exception.

haha, classic!

I just want to shop till I bop...lovin it

Speaking on behalf of everyone who has worked tech support, I have to say: way to give it to the little guy.



The guy who sits in his cubicle, wearing his headset, just dreading the beep that will warn him of the call ready to come in. The guy who is seething with hatred of every insipid moron out there who ought to have a restraining order put against him preventing him from ever approaching a computer again. The guy who can't wait until his last call is over so that he can go drown his sorrow and rage in deadly combinations of hard liquor and drugs. Yep, that guy.

Why do people got to be hatin on us Apple users? Just because we didn't have to learn a bunch of stupid DOS commands to make our computers work up until, oh 1995. You guys are just jealous. The only redeeming quality of a PC is that you can now purchase them in vending machines at gas stations, whereas a Mac will still put you back at least a grand. Macs are better for people like me, people who are good looking. Steve Jobs is much better looking than Bill Gates; I'm better looking than Nutbutter and John put together! So as you can clearly see by my fair and unbiased points, Apple is the better computer, just pricier. Plus, Apple has iMovie. Producing your own professional quality pornographic feature has never been easier.

Chi-Chi, I so want to click you for that.

Dude, look at us. We're two of the ugliest mother-Frosters you'll ever see. Shortly after that picture was taken the manager of the bowling alley asked us to leave because we were scaring little kids.



For what it's worth, John is uglier. That pictures doesn't show the parasitic twin growing out of his right cheek.

Wait, that's an amazing coincidence- I was once asked by a bowling alley owner to come into his bowling alley with the hopes of calming a group of terrified young children with my undeniable powers of handsomeness.

spicy mchaggis...i think you have some problems...take a chill pill or something.

Yes I do have problems. One of them happens to be my aversion to people generalizing that Mac users are computer illiterate.



Because I know you were just trying to make with the funny, I'll give you some slack and back off, but I will not be taking a chill pill. Just say no kids.

That's what PC geeks always say. But Apple geeks never say "Ha ha! PC guys know nothing about Macs!!", even though it's true.

I guess you're right. I do know nothing about macs. I used to before i realized that pc's are about, oh i don't know, a million times better for games. But alas, macs are far more powerful when it comes to graphic/visual arts. There is no denying that.

Where I work, a lot of people ask my advice when they want to buy a computer. I don't even bother trying to evangelize the Mac for most of them anymore because they want the same thing they have at work. It's all they know, and they don't know much about even that. For the most part those who aren't "computer people" tend to be afraid of doing something wrong on the computer. They learn to do what they need to do and that's it. If something goes wrong, they just want me to fix it. I do what I can to try to get people to get to know computers and I run the occasional training session, but for most people, the computer is just a tool. And a very complicated one at that. I've turned a couple of people onto the Mac and they're glad I did. What gets people thinkning that Mac users don't know computers is that Macs are touted as being easy to use. I personally feel that if computers are easy to use, people are more likely to get to know them better.



Okay, rambling rant mode off for now.

Until Gates stuffs Linux under Windows, PCs will never compare with the Mac.



Whose yo daddy? Dat's right, da Mac Daddy be yo daddy. My Jag/G4 rules. Word to my peeps y'all.

My internet is broke.

Is it your java apple? When mine was borken I just had to fprot my tarball.

it's the chicken, nothing but the chicken, and all about the chicken. fo' shickle, and nothing but the chickle.

Is it your java apple? When mine was borken I just had to fprot my tarball.





What the hell are you smoking?

But alas, macs are far more powerful when it comes to graphic/visual arts. There is no denying that.



i deny it. that has become less and less true w/ each new x86 cpu since the pentium.



i <3'd my maCarrollil i got everything working on it. haven't touched it since, but it looks good sitting on my desk.

My only complaint about Macs is this: Can the mouse not have more than one button?!



I mean, is it necessary to have the mouse designed so simple that even creatures without opposable thumbs can use it? We get the point, Mac is different, now make it more functional.

That argument is so played out, Livewire. The MacOS is designed to be used with one mouse button. The contextual menus are a superfluous add-on for those who like that kind of thing. Right-clicking is never an absolute necessity. And if you've ever used and Apple Pro mouse, you'd have to admint that the no-button mouse thing is pretty slick.



Personally, I use trackballs, so no matter what kind of computer I buy, I will always buy my mouse seperately.

Not only do I shop 'til I bop, but I don't ever get a blue screen of death. Imagine that, a computer that works. I know that's hard for you PC users, but just try to imagine it.

well duh. the bsod is written in to the operating system. you get that silly-ass bomb picture, or whatever they're showing these days (i'm still on system 7, personally). at least the bsod gives you information you can use to find out caused the crash in the first place.

OS X doesn't have "The Bomb". I've heard tell that kernel panics are possible, but I haven't encountered one yet.

500 years ago...



" 'There's just no question, the new Iscribes are far superior for calligraphy and illumination. All you IBM (Illuminating Brother Monk)users are stuck in the Dark Ages with your primitive Quilldown 1000 operating systems. Plus with Iscribes you never get the blue parchment of death!'



'What? Are you mad? Everybody uses the IBM's for a reason; they're far more stable (90% less heresy) and with the new Ap-bacus system even complex arithmetic like division can be handled in only a few minutes. They're the church standard; get used to them you bowl headed tool of Satan!' "

thanks for that, northcalibadspeller.

Ringworm, y u gotta b a hater?

I stopped 'stealing' music off the internet...that's dishonest



I also stopped taping songs from the radio, Recording programs, football games (without express, written consent of the NFL) and debates from TV...isn't that imoral too?



I no longer repeat things I've learned from others...interesting stories, jokes, better ways of living. That is also 'intellecutal property'.



I now just sit in a corner of my refrigerator box and pray Sony dosen't send it's goons after me for humming 'Thriller' in my sleep (without express, written permission).

oh yeah? so where'd you get all those "words" from, anyway? huh? HUH!?

it's what i do. it's part of my charm.

Oh boy, a PC vs Mac thread...



Let me just say this:



PC's do NOT have to run Windows! What is it with people? PC is just a type of computer, it has nothing to do with the OS.



I for one run Linux and FreeBSD on my "PCs", and while I wouldn't buy an Apple (since I can build my own PCs that will out perform an Apple for a lot less), I don't bash people that use them.



If you can't build a better computer yourself, Apple's are a way of knowing you will get a decent computer instead of one of the many junk PCs out there. It's also a way of getting a decent OS (OS X). One thing I do have against Apple is their pure BS in ads. Who doesn't though? :P



So, don't automatically group PCs and Windows, please!

Just a side note...



I use a PC with WinXP Pro, and I do not have any problems. I dont get BSOD or crash. Sys runs smooth no matter what I do to it and I do a lot.
