I won't give you choices of what you are, because you obviously are an ignorant, assuming idiot,


Assuming? If by assuming you mean "arguing a point with valid reason due to years upon years of experience", then yes, I am assuming.

1. It is Mac OS X
2. The program I speak of locking up IS iMovie


Then you must be a bad luck charm. Or you're doing something wrong. Or you're using an old version of OS X. What version is it? Because I've never had the problems you're talking about. And I've been using it for years.

Congrats! You've made a big ass out of yourself! Would you like to make a fool out of yourself again?

Congrats! You did the same thing by attacking me! I didn't go the way of insults, but evidently you felt the need to. Good job. ; )

You evidently are

A. An idiot who doesn't know how to perform a simple task.


But that was a choice. You could have been one of the other ones, you know. I didn't outright say "You are an idiot", I gave you a choice.

*Grabs the anchorman chair after the reporter guys dies an unexplained death*

As we can see the newest round of PC vs. Mac violence is beginning to heat up. The PC fanboi's began the onslaught with a devastating sneak attack, but the Mac'lovers responded with ferocious defense.

This reporter asks: When will the carnage end!?!?

Thank you, and now back to your regularly scheduled flaming...

the easiest way to show which is better is to simply look at some reveiws done by unbiased mags, they all say that macs are generally better than microsoft, especially operating systems although you have the best of both on a mac, ive had both pcs and macs and im still with macs for a reason, and to be honest, id rather have a mac for work, and oh, hmm , what for gaming, hmmm, hmmm a xbox 360!! better than any pc, far better graphics and halo 3, need i say more?

ohh and i forgot, ive already tested vista and its not a huge improvement at all, if anything it complicates things it feels it needs to improve on XP just for the sake of innovation so it makes them look like they have been doing something the past 6 years.

Excuse me? Xbox 360 is "better" than a PC?! Vista is not such a huge improvement?! How old are you exactly? Because PC's graphics, performance, and control options pwns the Xsux .360 any day.

Macs are better for working, but windows are better for gaming, (no offence)
PC's are better for most things but working, Macs were designed for that :O.

Lolz, QFT

I will not argue. Mac user I may be, the gaming community on the Mac is not as... prominent as it is on the PC. However, with the implementation of Boot Camp, and the ability to run Windows, that opens up a whole new realm of gaming to the Mac.

But those who do use Macs have their perks. Though games are not as high in quantity as they are on the PC, the games they do have are generally very good games. And those who develop them are dedicated Mac users. Such as Ambrosia Software.

One of my good buddies (a PC gamer in fact) mentioned that the good, the bad, and the ugly games are made
for PC, but only the ones that are high quality/sell well get ported to Mac. (ie, Halo, C n' C, Prey, AoE3, Doom3, BF1942, CoD2, et all)

But remember, there's really no point in arguing with Macintosh fanboys. They act like Steve Jobs is their god and you just spat on him.

No point, eh? And this is coming from the guy that as already posted 7 times (running total) in this "no point" thread.

Don't forget that arguing with alleged fanbois includes you among their number.

Hehe. Looks like that incriminated most of the thread.

Blarg.

I prefer PC over Macs becasue

Macs: suck donkey ass but make extremely stupid commercials that piss everyone off. And they are not true, so it's false advertising.
PCs: it kicks ass, easier to use, has 1000000 more games, and can fricking right-click

they need to have someone like hulk hogan standing next to this guy
*mac music playing*
Hulk H:"Hi, im a 3 thousand dollar PC
Dork: Hi i'm a three thousand dollar mac.
*they stare*
HH: "I can have 128 players on screen at the same time in high definition resolutions at more frames per second than the human eye can sense"
Dork: "I just got an Intel Processor"
Hulk crushes dork's skull with his fist, and blows him away with a shotgun, then walks off"

I just sprinkled five gallons of gasolines over a pile of fluffy kittens covered in oily rags. You, my friend, are the lit match which has thrown itself upon the fire hazard. You make me want to kill myself. Your post was so retarded, filled to the brim with ignorance, that I don't feel like explaining and posting a suitable response.

You lose! Good day, sir!

hahahahaha losers, read the article!!! if a non-biased computer expert thinks osx is better than vista and vista will not bring the improvements promised then who do you think you are to argue? have you tried vista? of course not so dont assume that it will be all powerful, and if a piece of hardware conjures such deep and powerful emotions in you then you may want to look out the window an discover a world not made of pixels

Macs, IMO, are just for media editing.


This seems to be a fairly common misconception. I would rather edit on a PC by far. The only reason people like Macs for editing is for Final cut pro, which I agree is a very good editing program. The problem is, not everybody has the financial backing of a major company to afford that. The Mac only has 2 editing programs, Final Cut and Imovie, a slightly better version of WMM. This means you have to start out at the begining of the spectrum, (a donkey) and immediatlly move to the end (a rocket). Besides that, PC hardware, on the upper end, is considerablly cheaper than macs.

As for everybody's argument about the OS, I think it's just a matter of user interface preference. Both are descently stable. btw, mac is supposedly getting rid of the commercials because the mac guy seems to snobby in test audiences.

I am free to any rebuttal.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

First, calling other people losers on an internet forum is the first sign of being a loser yourself. Second, there is no such thing as a non-biased computer expert. Either they like macs or they like windows. Some like Linux, but those guys are weird. :P

Have you tried Vista? I doubt it. So don't assume that it won't live up to the expectaions.. Because you have no idea.

(This isn't intended for everyone, just those ignorant, clueless people who think one "unbiased computer experts" opinion is gospel)

Oh wait, that's just you.

Ok, lets see, where to start.

I play games, lets get that out of the way. I also have an xbox 360, I can use that for games as well if I so desired. This of course being a Halo PC forum means I dont play Halo PC on the 360, so do not recommend to me to play games for that.

I do not edit movies, I am not a professional film maker or a cinematographer meaning I do not care one bit about final cut pro. I do however use use Photoshop quite regularly, and that being cross platform means I do not need OS X for it. Even if I used OS X i would not use any of the gimmicky and less functional products like the mac keyboard and the "mighty mouse." People who care about quality do not use LCDs so no one is going to use an cinema display, there goes another apple product no one cares about.

Of course you may mention boot camp as a way to play games on a mac, but do not you forget you are still using Windows which you so despise. Now why would I buy a mac just so I can use windows? I would not, especially all of the macs suck for games unless you pay $2500 for a mac pro so I can get PCI-e ports, but with that kind of cash I would build my own machine which would be centered around games.

Now being a gamer, tell me why I want a mac. And for the record I have a mac anyways.

Oh, just let Reefer be. After all, he doesn't call them a loser outright, instead he uses his mind and creativity to form paragraphs of soul-crushing insults, he's way too smart for "loooloooll u suck loser."

WOOOOW, learn how to type.


Now you mentiona oblivion on the 360, it's a well known fact that it is immeasurably better on the PC. Not only does it look better, but it plays better with mods, especially with comedic value such as making it snow in oblivion or giving myself 100 skeleton keys by accident.

Here are some raw facts about Mac's and PC's. Each use their own different architecture for the system format, Mac's use a more efficient architecture then PC's. If you were to run a Mac and PC with everything as close to identical as possible the Mac would likely win in performance. Also Mac invented the Graphic User Interface that is what revolutionized computers. (Note: opinion begins)But PC's are much more customizable then a Mac, there are more ranges of parts for them and are usually ahead of Mac's in the actual technology. PC's are usually cheaper to make while Mac's are usually more. The new Intel Mac's are a good step for Mac's by allowing for more features not available to Mac's.
The first computer I used was a Mac at my school, my family didn't get our first computer for three more years after that. I preferred my home computer over the school computers after that. My entire family has PC's I prefer them but I understand Mac's well enough to use them. The user interface on the Mac is better but it is more difficult to find certain things. PC has a more difficult user interface but has more options to let you find things.
Please from now on tell a story of what your first computer you used was
