I Really Hate Mac Commercials.

Ever since the wave of "I’m a Mac" commercials started airing, my dislike of Apple has grown exponentially. Everyone that owns a Mac yells at PC guys because we unequivocally bash Macs (and their users), but these commercials have always shown what the heart of the issue is.

The large majority of Mac owners are pretentious jerks that do nothing but brag about how awesome their OS is, using the same stupid talking points. "I never get a virus on my Mac. Windows always crashes on me. I like the way it looks. REAL designers use Macs."

I know you can get a real mouse that has two buttons, but by default a Mac has one mouse button and no scroll wheel. How does that make you any more productive than me on Windows with a basic $10 PC mouse?

Why do you care how sleek your computer looks? If I wanted something to put on display because it looked so great, I’d get a piece of fucking art. I want a goddamned workhorse to run my programs. Yay! Let’s curve every corner and give it a ton of fucking gloss. Obviously this wasn’t done just for appearance, it makes it more powerful.

I’ve had my own computer for the last ten years. I’m the primary user, and no one else uses it more than a couple seconds at a time. I don’t run anti-virus software, mind you, and I haven’t had a virus. If you, or the douche bags you let on your computer, open every fucking executable file sent to you in spam emails, it doesn’t mean it’s Windows’ fault you got a virus. It’s because you’re a fucking moron. Consider the following question, Mac users. Why are the majority of exploits coded for Windows? It’s not because it’s a shitty operating system, it’s because it’s on the majority of computers around the world. What good does a virus do if it’s installed on 1% of 10% of the computers in the world?

Branding yourself as a group of hip twenty-somethings is fine; I could care less. What I hate is the fact that you’re saying that Windows is an aging relic, and that anyone or anything using Windows should be seen as obsolete. My hate for your marketing, and the attitude you instill in your clientele was unparalleled up until last week.

The newest commercial slamming Windows 7 made my anger rise to a new level, and after you watch it, I hope it makes you pissed off too.

So by the way this commercial is written, every fucking Macintosh computer is still running OS1, right? Oh? It’s not? If you had Mac OS X and kept it up-to-date over the last decade, you could have bought a new PC and Windows 7 Ultimate with no problem. Not to mention that the initial cost of the Mac would have far exceeded the cost of any top-of-the line PC you could have nabbed.

Stop being stuck up assholes, Apple, seriously.

Forward this and Something Happens…

This is the coolest thing I have ever received. All you have to do is send it to 7 people and watch your screen, it is the funniest clip. I can’t tell you what it is but I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair!!! So, send it to those 7 people and watch. If you forward it to 7 people a video comes on your screen. 
This works. I don’t know how…but it works.

I didn’t think emails like this were still going around, but damn. A lot of people are hoping for some voodoo shit.

“ohhhhhhhhh fuck yeah, I’m gonna send this shit to seven of my friends so I can see some poorly made CGI bitches jumping aorund and doing yoga. FUCK YES.”

Made me laugh, but it might be because it’s 8:30 and I’ve been coding all night. :P
