Hey but you got to give this guy guts for posting such bad information on the net(not you Tahko)

Well honestly, I think he just does it for attention - it is so full of disinformation and what I call "uninformation" that it's like watching the rantings of a lunatic.

He can't really be serious.

Oh God, it came to me: he's using the Chewbacca defense!

"Chewbacca lives on Endor! But wookies are from Kahsyyk! If chewbacca is from Endor, you must acquit!"

More people should send him our arguments, just for the sake to see how he responds. :D

I bet he is just a lonely nerd who lives by irritating people and thus getting clicks on ads of his webste.
:(
 
Why does he care. Why does anyone care? If you choose :eek: windows, what on god's green earth do care what he chose? Yes, I would think you don't know what your missing if you chose windows, but would I actually care? No.
 
i thought OS X did defrag? so they said on TMO To Go podcast :confused:
anyway, and surely not many people decide what system they buy based on how good the calculator is, surely the computer is really just a giant advanced calculator :confused: :confused: :confused:

HFS+ does so automatically for smaller files. Most of the time, unless you are using a startup disk that has very little space left, you don't need to defragment.

The site is clearly biased against the Mac. He even says that OS X has the same out-of-box security level as XP pro. Give me a break. And he gave web browsing a 9 for Windows (with slow, no tabbed, IE garbage) and gave Mac OS X a 4! He even whines that the iMac has no parallel, PS/2 keyboard/mice and serial ports. I would say that not including them is an advantage. This guy is nowhere near objective.
 
For a moment there, I thought this was another post from the Borowitz report, just like the . But it turns out this guy is for real ! :eek:
Some more classic quotes:

1.Better is not always "better".
2.As long as Apple continues to sell feature barren mice and keyboards, they will have to jump through hoops with solutions like Exposé to get a user friendly UI.
3.Windows XP does not include a GUI IDE, or any substantial dev tools, out of the box. Thankfully we don't live in a world restricted to what's in the box.

This one's my favorite:
That would leave XP Home in a virtual tie with OS X on OS features alone, but then we would again add the additional variables and XP Home would leap far ahead as well.**

Translation: But then we would again manipulate the facts and make XP home seem like a better OS. :confused:

I'm gonna ask for this guy's picture so that I can add it to wikipedia under "bias" :D
 
Without trying to sound like a snob, I cannot take anything by anyone seriously that is proud to boast that their site is built and maintained with Frontpage.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Apple now ships Macs that will only boot into OS X. Apple controls this functionality via a special chip on the motherboard called the "boot rom".

Apple hasn't used boot roms in years. PearPC proves that.
 
What an incredible waste of time and space.
Even the site design was offensive. Viewing it on my gorgeous new PB... Rarely has such a nice frame housed such nastiness.
Bleh.

he yells at how apple updates OS a lot, and making them better more then MS. MS just never updates there OS
Click to expand...
Actually that is his only correct point.. Microsoft constantly updates windows (sp1+2, minor updates now and then). As far as Apple is regarded, first 3 OS X's were more or less just betas (10.1 came free for those who purchased 10.0).

SP2 on the other hand made XP, incredibly, hellova loads better in every aspect. For free. They even sent me a free CD.
 
 
Macs cost too much? Not always.


Just a quick comparison.

Dell Inspiron 700m

Featured at
<s>$1,199</s>
$959



Comparison with iBook, Dell is on the left:

Price:
$959 vs $999

Screen:
12" vs 12"

Processor:
1.6 GHz Pentium M vs 1.33 GHz G4

Memory:
256 MB of RAM vs 512 MB of RAM

Hard Drive:
40 GB vs 40 GB

Disk Drive:
CD-RW/DVD-ROM vs CD-RW/DVD-ROM

Wireless:
802.11g vs 802.11g AND Bluetooth 2.0

Graphics card:

NOTHING vs Radeon 9550

VRAM:

NONE vs 32 MB

Warranty:

NO limited warranty vs 1 year limited warranty

Software:

Windows XP Home + WordPerfect + Photo Album SE Basic

vs

Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger + iPhoto '05 + iMovie '05 + iDVD '05 + GarageBand 2 + Nanosaur 2 + Microsoft Office Trial


----

Windows XP Home is not as good as Tiger; even ignoring the OS X/Windows difference, Tiger has all the features of XP Pro, not Home.

And there's really no denying Tiger is a superior OS to Windows XP. Just by release dates alone; Windows XP is a 2001 product, Tiger is a 2005 product. Of course its going to have many more features.

Additionally, the Dell does not have an antivirus, which is a necessity.




I see the Dell wins in one category (processor), ties in three (screen, hard drive, disk drive), and loses in 6 (Memory, Wireless, Graphics card and VRAM, Warranty, and Software).

Who says Macs are more expensive again?
