Mac rules PC right
 

I have used PC computers my whole life. Getting a iPhone opened my eys. I plan on buying Mac products the 2nd half of my life. Whos with me on this! I am so over viruses, spyware, and all the BS that goes with PC.

One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't

Good reading... :thumbsup

not me ! lol
fucking hate macs, tried them a couple of times..

I would say in all the years that I have had a computer I have only gotten a serious virus a couple of times and it didn't take me too long to fix. I keep an anti-virus software on, updated it all the time and run an anti-spyware once per month. If it does find something it only take one mouse click and it is clean.

Here is what don't get with the Mac. Maybe I would never have to worry about viruses or spyware and not need software to fight them. But I'm not a designer nor am I involved in music of video production. So would a Mac make my life all that much easier?

Don't Macs sometimes have issues running some software? Aren't Mac versions of some software more money? What about a Mac would make my life easier. I would be open to switching if I saw a real legit reason for it, but it seems to me the main thing about a Mac is that they are pretty virus-proof and they look cool. But I don't know if paying 3-4 times as much as I would for a PC for those things is worth it.

Well I am extremely well versed in computer and network security. I don't even run anti virus, and have not gotten anything including a keylogger. Not everybody has this ability, so I suggest everyone else run Kaspersky antivirus. It's not a resource hog like Norton.

I too own a mac but I think I'm going to run my studio on all CS5 suite including video editing and after effects for titles. The reason being is PC is more cost effective then Mac's are for similar hardware. PC's also have better 64 bit support for video editing and rendering particularity in the field of GPU rendering acceleration, [nVidia CUDA] which makes a HUGE difference when rendering several HD scenes a week.

I'll stick with PC for main stuff and my Mac Pro Quad G5 or other things.

I'll admit the 27" iMac is pretty nice. Probably best for a video editing beginner. Garage band is also a nice beginner application as well.

bullshit - every computer is only as good as his owner is taking care of it. no matter what system. Mac OS is useless for me for many reasons.

Many people love there PC and many people love SCAT sites:winkwink:

Rather bang smack than go Mac

what does getting an iphone have anything to do with computers? :error:helpme

Wrongo, Boyo!

The ONLY reason that the spammers, scammers, kiddie coders and other interent assholes have not targeted you idiot Mac users is that you have until recently occupied such small share of the market.

There is nothing in OS which makes it immune to anything; it's just that you and your fellow arrogant Mac users haven't been worth the time to fuck with.

Now that you are up to over 12%, you are worthwhile and the nice part for the bad guys is that most of you are so flippng arroagant that you don't even bother to install firewalls and antivurus on your pathetic Apples.

Most of you will wake up one morning and find yourselves relegated to the 1960s as your Macs will have been turned to taost.

They ran the tests a few months back and everyone laughed.

They were ONLY testing and they learned and learned well.

Mac and Apple are soon to be done in and done in hard!

I LoL'd :1orglaugh

It's a Mac thing:winkwink:

Get a MacBook Pro, you will never look back.

<IMHO>I can choose from a wider variety of software costing half as much and doing twice as much on a PC. </IMHO>

Mac's amazing.

From what I can see here, Mac users are certainly not as angry as PC users.

mac and pc both are gr8, there are viruses and trojan for macs also.

Mac users have a constant need to tell PC users how much better Macs are. PC users never do the same unprovoked. That's the differene. If you like Mac then be happy quit trying to convert fucking people.

I'm a bit skeptical about Mac OSX.... but I do think Apple are leaps ahead of everyone for build quality... unfortunately their hardware is underspecced....

PC n Linux = da shit.

The people in Apple's marketing department are experts at what they do, just like the guys in Harley-Davidson's marketing department. They've both created an impressive brand loyalty among their users, for products that may be different than other things but they really are not "better"

you will still get virus'. Mac is not immune. Before, it wasn't worth it to target with only a 5% market share. You will find it to be great but I just cant do what I need on a mac.

100% bullshit statement. At least for me. I have a macbook pro. I broke the screen on a flight. I thought it over, and bought a top of the line HP lappy and NEVER LOOKED BACK. Fyi, I have 3 macs too: one has the dual dual cores, one has the dual quads (which I never even turned the thing on that's how much better it is), and the aforementioned macbook pro and two iphones, 3g &4g. I will admit that the iphone blows the droid away as I bought a droid last month and barely messed with it because I found it lacking. But PC all the way; and what makes my opinion pretty reliable is I even have that stupid apple sticker on my bumper

and we have a winner ding ding ding ding ding!

who does get viruses in these day anyway? run a antivirus software, have at least xp with sp3 and it is almost impossible to get any viruses unless you are really dumb. didnt get any virus since sp2 for xp came out..

I think foreskins are great!

I use 2 laptops now...one regular and one mac. I work mostly on mac, not because I think its cooler or something...it is just better to work with and much quieter, I can't hear a thing most of the time.

look if you wanna blame somebody 'cause you are to lame to keep viruses and spyware off your machine..... just saying...

I have Windows but I have used both Mac and PC and I prefer Mac just because it's easy to use. Might get a iMac when I get to LA then I will have both PC and Mac. :)

I know some people using Mac. Always trying to tell me (never asked them) how Mac is good,although they have problems with compatibility.

Happy Xmas Damo ! :)

Apple is like a religion.

so true :1orglaugh

More like a cult.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


I like Mac and use Mac for everything production and it works great for me. I dont care if people switch over or not. In fact i hope people choose not to switch, because then Mac users become a bigger target for Virus makers.


At the end of the day if you plan on doing a lot of work on your machine, get what you feel is right for what you do at the price you want to pay for it and call it a day.:2 cents:

While I do like seeing people convert (it helps my stock), I really don't care other than that. I do personally feel the Mac OS is far superior to windows and I see mac users be more productive than PC users and enjoy what they do more.

Not entirely true. There is malware for macs, but not viruses. Macs run on a unix based operating system. By design it's nearly impossible to write a working virus for unix and linux systems. The user running the system must install the software. It's not like some script kiddie can write something to secretly run in the background and take over the system. They'd have to write a program and trick the user into installing it.

:2 cents:

apple would have fixed the screen for free for you...


if your not using them send em my way need my addy?


I would rather go without a computer than use a windows based machine

all Mac here in the BZM Studio :2 cents:

na they told me like 800 bucks

Safari is the #3 most exploitable piece of software.

You are talking about Mac OS X (Mac = Mac OS X). Right? So I can assure you: there is no viruses for Windows NT 6.x as well (Vista, Windows 7 etc). Is it something new for you?

Who cares what others think. Use what You like to use and that's all.

nah for sure they would have fixed it for free...


I broke my own installing my own ram and they could not fix it they opened a new one gave it to me on the spot...

honestly ive never had something that mac won;t fix or make good on...

still got it? send it to me or bring it in jan ill take it to the genius bar for you.. they will for sure fix it or give us a new one
