PC? Mac? Who Cares?

from the not-I dept

I've been accused (repeatedly) here on Techdirt of being anti-Mac. I've tried to explain that it's all a lie. I simply don't care what type of computer people use, as long as it gets the job done. The fact is that whatever you use these days it probably gets the job done. So, you should stop caring what anyone else uses and get on with your life.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    That article...

    I actually just finished writing a mean little paragraph about it. I can't believe that he advised someone to "go with their heart" about a computer purchase. Why did this piece of writing ever get further than a Geocities site?

    I don't care. I just like to choose. If I could install OSX on my PC I would. I just don't like the pansy metro-sexual revolution look of MacBooks. I believe in freedom of choice and Mac just doesnt do enough for me. Isnt it a little communistic to be able to have OSX running on just a Apple hardware? So ONLY Steve Jobs can make money? What a greedy bastard. Bill Gates opened a huge door for many corporations and small companies to creatively build their own computers, and you know what, because of this he came on top. He and many more made alot of money, not like Jobs trying to keep all the money to himself.

    OSX hasn't proved itself beyond one design, so this proves nothing to me. MS runs on many chipsets, many configurations.

    All of his products are built in Taiwan, and I don't like Taiwaneze or Mexican products. I make sure its built by the best, USA or Japan. Again, Apple doesn't have that to offer.

    I really never hated Mac till recently when all the elitist Mac users came out and started this frenzy of we're better we're better!! I almost thought about it till the thought of Mac elitists getting under my skin like a parasite...really annoying. Then I realized, the best of anything is what gets attacked the most. Its pointless to make a virus for a Mac, they're not signifigant enough, so make viruses for PC. Every bashes the PC, because its the best. So I stick to what is best, and keep to remaining normal human being who just wants to computer without corky behind me talking about how much better is Mac.
