mac

you know... i am actually quite irritated by those mac ads with the cool guy and the office nerd... i mean... its not true... macs are not that cool... and all these marketing is wrong... so wrong...

ok... let me explain... so lets just say that you succumb to steve job's marketting ploy and decided to buy a macbook... pro... lets say... and so you decide to use it... duh... and everything looks like so so cool... there are widgets everywhere... the docking function is so visual... and the nice bright white apple logo is so nice... cool... excellent... den you decide to use the lappie for what it was intended to do... firstly to work on... so what do you use?? microsoft office!!!... what?? yeah!! ... mircosoft office for mac!!! it took steve so long to realise microsoft office's superiority... which is good now that macs have joined the bandwagon... but do you really think that the office for mac is better and has more features than the actual microsoft office for windows??.. i dun think so.. but its fine... it may not be as good...but it still works...

but work is boring so you decide to be fun and cool like your new macbook... and you want to play fun and cool games... den disaster strikes... you suddenly realise that despite all the ads saying that mac is so fun and so cool... the only game that is available for you to play on the mac is like what... lemonade tycoon 2003!!... haizz... ooo... how fun!!??... @%*!$%&... hahaha... for starters... all the coolest funnest games out there all run mainly on windows... and even if there really were *gasps* a cool fun game for macs... you will be severely handicapped... why?? simple... you cant right-click like the rest of us can... bwrahaha... we'll be breezing through game play by right-clicking, left-clicking, scrolling, etc etc... while you will have to click... click and hold... and click while pressing the apple icon... haha... its sad... so ok... fine... you cant play cool fun games... so you resort to playing with the cool docking function and the widgets you have... haha... pitiful... sad... and i understand... (not really)... *smirk*... now thats fun and cool for you...

so now that you are stuck with a mac... you try to justify the 500+ bucks more you payed for this cool looking thing... so looking around you find that you got... widgets!!... but i have yahoo widgets... haha... you got safari... i got firefox (although i prefer and usually use IE 7)... you got itunes... so do i... you can dock... so can i... its just not as "cool" and visual... so where did your 500+ bucks go?? to steve and his marketing... yup... the sorry truth...

now that you look at it... the only plus point of the mac is its poser value... the new macbooks run on intel... like all PCs have a long time ago... (what took apple so long!!)... and they dont even make their own laptops... asus got contracted to build the new macbooks... and fyi... i currently own an asus lappie for like 700 bucks less than the macbook of equivalent specifications and performance... so really... what you are paying for is the OS X... but you still end up using microsoft office... you cant play games... and any other cool software that the OS X provides... have been legally copied and modified for PC use... haha... vista... and if its not already copied by mr gates and co. ... it will be copied and improved by all the free open source software out there... like yahoo widgets... firefox... so really... what you are getting is a poser... cool on the outside... but an empty vessel... its marketting... its the poser value...

the real reason (i feel) that PCs and windows are in much wider circulation... is the fact that unlike steve... bill actually sells windows or office to anyone who wants to buy it... while steve will only sell OS X with a mac... and whats worse... instead of opening up OS X to the pc market... steve decides that macs should run on both OS X or windows... haiz... stupidity... so even macs buy windows too... its rediculous... tragic...

if thats not good enough for you... then let the statistics proof my point... last year... despite steve job claims of record breaking sales... macs merely hold less than 3% market share... i mean.. so many people cant be wrong... and even if they are... with so many more people on PCs... there will definitely be so much more support centres, software and products catered to the pc user as compared to the mac user... its just economics and the rule of democracy... and if evolutionists were right... macs are as good as extinct...

anyway... i am enjoying myself slamming mac... but of course... no offense to those who already have a mac... because it really looks cooler and erm... yeah... it just looks cooler... too bad i cant play games with you via network or web... i havent downloaded lemonade tycoon yet... haha... sorry... i couldnt help... haha

so moral of the story is... be smart... save 500 bucks... buy a pc... and thereafter pamper yourself with a new phone... haha... and speaking of phones... the iphone is like the latest news.... but dun be fooled by the hype and everything... because iphone... is old technology... yes... i repeat... stone-age technology... the first thing that comes to mind (for me) of the iphone is... its looks just like the O2 xda II mini which has been in the market since 2004 or earlier... and unlike the iphone where the only way to use the phone is to touch screen and leave finger prints everywhere... the xda gives you the option of either stylus or finger... but of course... functionality aside... the iphone is newer... and hence looks and feels newer... and once again... you cant deny its cool poser value... ooo... haha...

yup... so when it comes to macs or pc... its about form or function... and when it comes to technology... i think it just makes more sense to choose function over form... and if you want both... let me just say that form-wise... there are just so many more options going for pc than macs...

so you decide...
