MacRumors is sick

[Cabbit]

Gota love them free thinkers. I am perfectly happy with the product i bought but because other people are not i am going to spend more money and get a product with a different brand that i may not be satisfied with and i will find other people whom are also not satisfied with this new product so i will once again spend more money and buy another brand.

Moral of the story. If yours device whatever it may be works and works well just keep using it, basing your future and current purchases of the opinions of others is lunacy. I know many people whom hate my mac and my choice in camera though i will not go out and buy different branded equipment to appease them, that would cost a lot of money and frankly though i often act younger than my age i am no longer a teenager in high school that needs to wear cheep uncomfortable Adidas shoes to fit in when i choose to wear many different branded and un-branded clothing items.

Grow up and think for yourself.

Let me get this, you are going to switch from a loved Mac back to a PC - because of MR?

Go figure....

Actually, that might not be such a bad thing.... the average IQ of Mac owners would go up!

Oh true...

Forget what I said above, go and switch! MACs suck! It's got all those problems like blue screens and only one mouse button!

PC rules!

MacRumors is like communism.
Very tight and strict rules.
Full of authoritative figures looking for someone to ban or send a warning to.
Can't do anything without consulting the rules.
And it's every man for himself.

Kinda sucks.

If you don't like it here, you are generously invited to enjoy the thrill of leaving!

On your way out, right click on "communism" in your post and click "Look Up in Dictionary":

com･mu･nism |ˈkämyəˌnizəm| (often Communism)
noun
a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

That's more like "every man for the state", not "every man for himself".

I agree with others: if you don't like what you read here.... STOP READING!

Your complaint is akin to someone who hangs out in a hospital every day and then complains, "the whole world is sick!" The millions and millions of happy Mac users aren't going to post in this forum, "My Mac is fine and I have no problems!"

Heh, you're the guy who cant stand someone repeating a thread. I advise you do the same u asked me to do.

Actually, that is nothing like communism.

This is just stupid. MR is like a free country, if you don't like it, leave. ... IQ elevation is always a good thing.

It's not me who "can't stand someone repeating a thread". That's the Forum Rules, you're referring to. And I'm not repeating a thread. I responded to two different posters. My opinion doesn't have to change, just to satisfy your twisted view of the forum.

What is it with people knowing nothing about Communism?

 

[it5five]

What is it with people knowing nothing about Communism?

They were educated in the United States, most likely. I hardly see any other nationality so completely botch the definition of any political or economic ideologies.

 

[ceezy3000]

people who dont know what communism or any other ideologys are retarded, dont judge america like that, its all the inbred red states that dont know much

[Sesshi]

Here's the thing- a lot of people come here when they have a problem.

Which is why I'm here all the time of course


Oh yeah, don't buy that 15" Dell. Buy the 16" Dell.

Actually, that might not be such a bad thing.... the average IQ of Mac owners would go up!

On the contrary: You might get a more typical Mac user here who's not smart enough to switch back to Windows after a dabble with OS X to replace him and drag the place down even further.

You know why? Because Dell don't have 100 forums dedicated to it.

Apple makes the most reliable computers, period. Apple also has the best consumer customer service and the highest satisfaction rating.

And the new Unibodies are the most reliable Macs I've seen in years.

My Mac is fine and I have no problems...

I'm just sayin'!

A worthless article. And it's the only one which gets wheeled out every time

I've got some periods for you, courtesy of the Sesshi purchase ledger over the last ~ twelve months: 12 Apple notebooks - 11 Applecare'd / DOA replaced. 18 Sony notebooks - 3 in for repair. And these are only the notebooks I bought for purely my own use!

Add me into that one, 8 Macs purchased - 8 Macs DOA between 2005- 2007 and in October 2008 3 unibody MBP's purchased 3 opened in store and had dents , dings and scratches inside the wrapper .

I think these type of articles which say Macs are the best for this n that must get info from years ago because from my experience they have big quality control issues imo as for customer service , It's like having a tooth pulled sometimes

I'll be buying other Macs though, I need the OS, legally



As for MR , it's good, no complaints here, when the title said "Marumors is sick" I presumed they have a issue with the server or something ,what an odd thing t say, there are hundreds and thousands of members here and everyone is different just chat an enjoy yourself. Of course if people have an issue with their Mac they'll come here , that's how I first found the place when I as googling for fixes, It's 'one of them' isn't it , you know a community ....takes all sorts , sometimes I've laughed so hard at various posts an then agai I've had infuriating(maybe a bit strong) times and confused at some peoples way of thinking , like I said it's a community , which includes all sorts , stop over analyzing and chill fella

I was told once.
When you see the grass on the other side of the fence as greener, just remember. It means that yesterday there was a lot of manure there...

----
Apple ][ user, programmer, then Mac since Mac128K. Programming since MacBasic (Before Bill G. blackmailed that code and name from Apple). Serviced, built and programmed on PCs since mid 80's. My record? Average PC fix time 3hrs, average Mac fix time 20 minutes ... (and rising--unfortunately)...

There have been quite a few others, including the one I linked to earlier in this thread.

I've got some periods for you, courtesy of the Sesshi purchase ledger over the last ~ twelve months: 12 Apple notebooks - 11 Applecare'd / DOA replaced. 18 Sony notebooks - 3 in for repair. And these are only the notebooks I bought for purely my own use!

My experience: 1 G5 Power Mac, 1 C2D Mac Mini, 1 2G iPod touch, 0 flaws, no repairs ever. However, this is all pointless info. You can't go by any one person's individual experience; you need a broad sampling. All the broad samplings I've seen say that Apple is most reliable overall. If you have bad luck, well, sucks to be you I guess, but that doesn't really mean much in the larger picture.
