My mom calls my 360 a "Nintendo Playstation thing." Old people are hilarious when they try to talk about technology.

E: Also when my dad got his new computer she asked me if it "has a bigger gigabyte?" o_O

Emphasis mine.

She = my mom.

Usually when somebody gets a new computer or gadget, she (completely seriously) asks me if the gigabyte/gigabit is bigger or faster. When I said I was going to buy a new iMac she asked me "Do you really need all those gigabits? What are you going to do with them?"
 
when i talk to my parents about computers I usually say things about food so they understand.
Like when they ask about bootcamp I say there is two kids trying to eat a cookie you need to split it for them to live peacefully. You can split them any way you like but i like Steve better so i give him more cookie and let Bill cry.:D
 
I'm getting a MacBook Pro later this month. But my dad keeps saying "Are you excited about getting a Mac Pro Book"? I wish we could just chop off the Book from Mac Pro Book, and make it a 12 core please. :D
 
Years ago I remember my dad saying that he had a VD unit on his desk at work. And I thought he worked in a bank...

Don't have kids, huh? The solutions are so easy aren't they? :)

It wasn't really long ago that I was a kid, so I know what they're like. But an 11 year old kid shouldn't be playing online by themselves.
6. You Are Responsible for Your Service Account.

Only you may use your Service account. For some parts of the Service, we may notify you that you may set up additional member accounts that are dependent on your account (an “associated account”). You are responsible for all activity that takes place with your Service account or an associated account. Except as otherwise stated in this Section 6, you may not authorize any third party to access and/or use the Service on your behalf ,except where we provide a mechanism for third parties to access the Service on your behalf. We may limit who may use your Service account or any associated accounts.

If you allow or enable a minor to use your Service account or an associated account, then:

You represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of each such minor;

You acknowledge that you are aware that some features of the Service, and some content available through the Service may contain or expose users to material that is unsuitable for minors, and you agree to supervise usage by minors whom you permit to use the Service . The Service is not intended for use by children under 13 , except together with a parent or other adult supervision;

You acknowledge that we offer “Family Settings” on the Service and the Xbox 360 console, and also offer “Parental Controls” for Windows Vista, that are intended to help you limit access to material that may be unsuitable for minors. By applying Family Settings to an associated account at sign-up, you may, among other things, help to prevent any user of an associated account from making additional purchases and from having access to voice and video chat, which is intended to diminish the ability of such user to communicate with other users. You may view or revise your Family Settings in the Xbox Dashboard in the System area, or by logging into your account on xbox.com/myxbox. Additional information about Family Settings is available at www.xbox.com/support/familysettings/default.htm; and

You acknowledge that use of Family Settings, Parental Controls, or both, is not a substitute for your personal supervision of your minor children or minors for whom you are the legal guardian.
 
I also installed Adobe Windows and Apple Photoshop alongside Microsoft OS X on my SonyBook's Boot Camp partition. I'm thinking of installing Apple Chrome, too. After that, I played my Sega Wii and called my friend on my Samsung iPhone.

(And this friend of mine, who's actually a Mac user himself, keeps calling the MacBook Pro a 'Mac Pro Book'. But then again, I've known people who called the MBP a 'PowerBook', but that's at least more understandable.)

This also reminds me of some parodies I made a few months ago:
