Gee, so subtle
One thing PC users can do that Mac users can’t: STFU – TheBestPageInTheUniverse.net: This website has a pretty conceited name, are you ready to make some rebuttals or do you approve?
Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It’s because of all the calories they burn because they can’t STFU about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there’s another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple’s marketing campaign, like “it just works.” I have the following rebuttals to this argument:
1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called “Mac fix it” exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:
-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe “S” key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can’t drag and drop!
Waaaah, boo hoo! I can’t drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren’t perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:
I hope this guy doesn’t work at Dell’s tech support.
2. F U
I don’t know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can’t do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can’t even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog hit
It’s pretty obvious this guy is prematurely fixated on something, and it isn’t the technical merits of competing operating systems. However, he’s been linked from dvorak.org/blog which means that his large and fragile ego male ego just doubled in size.
Gods, I hope he gets a girlfriend soon and windexes his own lip smudges off his bathroom mirror.
Now that Apple has moved to Intel products, they have no advantage over an average PC. If you buy a top of the line Macbook Pro then you’re paying $1500 for OSX. I think I’ll save the $1500 and go with a free Linux distro, thank you. There is no operating system worth that much money, it’d be nice if mac bleeding hearts could see that.
#8 pc’s are not the superior ones, they are, period. Who cares about superiority and such. There’s no such thing in consumer computing. How many pc user do you see spewting Microshaft marketing? and how many macfans do you see in that situation. Therein lies the rub.
Bottom line is both, microshaft & macfans are irksome, but macfans get ahead of the MS fans because they really believe what St Steve, the wise says in order to sell his trinkets.
Stevereeno can do no wrong. How many times has a macfan bashed any mac product? (yeah, I know, never, because they’re flawless). Gatesbashing is even fashionable between PC users, see the difference? is reality, the ability to tell when you’re not getting what they say they’re giving you. The Whtie Bitten Apple Cult.
Yeah, yeah. MS copied Mac, big deal. Mac copied PARC, and has bought companies the same way MS has. Most of their consumer prodcuts are nothing ore than technology from other companies integration. Deal with it!
What I’m starting to find somewhat bothersome is that linux users are starting to become fanatics as well. Oh boy
P.S. I’m still waiting an answer on that PC/M – DOS faux pas

Please explain the difference between “lose” and “loose”. I’m too cranky this morning.
I bought a new PC yesterday for my office. I spent 4 hours “configuring” it. By this I mean I did all the setup that Windows Vista requires, removed all the crap software that came pre-installed, etc. After clicking the “Continue” button on Vista’s UAC “security” screen for the 50th time, I just completely disabled it. All the while I’m doing this, I’m thinking maybe those Mac people are onto something.
I’m still waiting for the “wow”.
Macs are for dumb “liberal arts” majors who can’t even think. And a lot of gays like Macs too, probably because of AIDS dimentia.
Macs are a political statement for the trendy granola crunchers, gay activists, and save the whale losers who actually smell worse than dead whales.
If Macs are so “good,” then why are they less than seven percent of the market? Huh?
I peruse a fresh stack of resumes every week, and any resume that mentions at all “Mac” experience or expertise gets thown away. The last thing I want to do is waste my time interviewing some dumpy, ugly liberal arts type who doesn’t have the intelligence to operate a real computer.
what a little bitch! that’s all i have to say…
I have always been a ‘mac’ fun, but when I came to acquire a computer, I got a PC. What the mac fan do, which some people miss, it to keep the ‘fire burning’, otherwise the bitten apple may only be seen on an epitaph – and the world will be poorer for it. We all need variety – imagine we were all cranky geeks!
Lol, zepe you wrote a GREAT post!
Look fast children at an almost PERFECT troll. Almost perfect because he goes on about “dumb liberal arts majors” then in the same sentence he misspells “dementia”. Note, when writing a troll about someones intelligence, make sure you show some yourself or else the troll falls apart. Misspellings are fine normally and can even add to a good troll, but not when they’re taking pot-shots at others intellect. I mean, never heard of a fricken spell checker?
Come on zepe, try harder next time. But kudos on keeping idiot, mac-hating trolling alive. Going strong now for over 25 years!
mac vs. pc… meh….
I run a Linux OS…
Lauren- “I’ve accepted that WordPress is, indeed, a sack ‘o shit.”
I dont have the energy to debate platforms today, but I am with you on this point. And its getting worse.
Dr Phil had sports addicts on one time in which I happened to be home. Had a guy who went home after work to his sports room and put on a football uniform for a few hours.
His happiness derived from the success of his local sports team. Not his marriage or kids.
I am a windows guy. I neither like or dislike Macs. Use what you like, who cares.
For some reason, the MacHeads remind me of the sports guy on DrPhil. Sad and pathetic with priorities all out of whack.
Do not hate the MacHeads, pity them. Hopefully they will find there is more to life than a machine. Life is to short.
I would love to check out this guy’s site, but he comes up as a pornographic site on my CIPAFilter with a score of 1800. What an asshat.
Now, dvorak.org/blog… that is CIPA friendly!
wow.
what’s more annoying, a fanboy, or one complaining about a fanboy?
personally I found this guys position more annoying than any macfanboy I’ve encountered.
That is Maddox, welcome to the internet, it’s 2001
Extreme fans of any stripe are a pain. I just hate visiting some site where all the armpits post their computer specs. Like I care that you run a V6 AMC, with a Gillette video card, 200 ml of Hung Over memory, and dual Cheerio HDs.
A computer is a machine, not your girlfriend !!! A tool to be used, not stroked !!! Like it is your gilrfriend.
36. Good point. It reminds of the custom car nuts from the 60′s and 70′s.
#16, APOSTROPHES ARE FOR POSSESIVES AND CONTRACTIONS. PLS STOP USING THEM TO PLURALIZE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PUT AN ‘S’ ON THE END.
” comma’s ”
Crikey®.
Get up on the wrong side of the bed??? Trashing the place because your hemorrhoids are acting up??? For “God’s sake” its a blog. Its informal. Quit with the bashing, it makes you sound like a drunk wishing to crawl inside a bottle.
If someone makes a common error so what !!! Why don’t you just sue them instead of sharing your obnoxious bile. I’m not sure who wants to hear such childish cry baby whiny shit, but I don’t. Grow up, get a life, and get a PC, your MAC is doing funny things to your head.

#29, Heed the rant. Quit getting your shorts in a knot because someone made a spelling mistake. Even with my atrocious spelling I recognized the word for what it was meant to be.
#38 – Lol, did it really sound like my shorts were in a knot? If you had read the whole comment, you may have noticed that I said “Misspellings are fine normally and can even add to a good troll, but not when they’re taking pot-shots at others intellect.” I truly was impressed with zepe’s troll, except for the small mistake he made.
I mean, good trolls usually DO have bad spelling….as this can enhance the troll factor in a major way. But the art of the troll, as you’ve proved yourself from time to time, is to walk a very fine edge. You have to pepper it with truths and outrageousness. But go too far, then it just becomes laughable and doesn’t get the desired effect of pissing people off. Zepe didn’t go too far, he just made a tiny mistake which I pointed out. Maybe next time he’ll truly aspire to be a first class forum troll!
I’m here to help.
Maddox for the win.
