Haha I think this thread is hilarious. People have been arguing for years about what platform is better and there really is no answer. It is all preference! I have been using the mac platform for about 10 years and I love the OS. I still have the first 17" powerbook bought over 5 years ago and going strong. Even back then they included wireless G, backlit keyboard, firewire 400, and aluminum enclosure. It's almost like arguing what car is better. Since the move to intel I think macs have done pretty well in keeping up with technology. I also think running windows on a mac is cool too with VMware or Bootcamp (even though I think you can do the same with PCs). PCs will always be cheaper and like Andrew and Pete said there is more competition for the PC world so things will come out first. Andrew, did you build a Intel "Harpertown" Quad Core last July? Damn that is a smokin system! How much did that cost when you built that tower? (I am interested in building a PC for gaming which the mac platform will never be good for due to lack of market share).....I personally just like the simplicity of the OS and its ease of use and I love how Logic and Garageband run. You can do everything you can do on a PC on Mac and vice versa. I have always looked at Mac Computing as a luxury car verses a regular car. They all get you to the place you want to go, one is just prettier and the engineering is tweaked. If you can afford it why not?
As for the iPod, I love my iPhone for music and videos. They have simplified mobile email and web browsing (besides no flash support and lack of 3G I know..I know...) I prefer it over the blackberry. I think they also do pretty well for pricing. I think the iPod touch is priced pretty well. Just personal opinion though......I think Apple is a great company and they make durable and user friendly products that are beautiful to look at at the same time.

i love how they have the web cam, cool video editor, garage band, and how fast they run.
Hey Ivy, I hope you're still enjoying Texas. And happy birthday!! If you and Brian ever come to Boston for a show or anything let me & Pete know, we could go together!!
QuoteWell its just been made clear to you that you dont have to search for things online to find them. Do you think people go out and search for spyware and viruses to screw their computer up? No. This is the internet, its a forum open to the public. If you cant handle someone merely mentioning a word, not directed at anyone in particular, youre a crybaby.
Being offended by the racial slur "kyke" does not make me a crybaby. All I want is an explanation of why you said "can you say kike?" Why the hell would you say such an insensitive word?

btw Vanessa has Jewish roots I think :wink: .
Yeah, her mom is Russian-Jewish [like me! lol We have so much in common :wink:]QuoteThats like telling me noob is supposed to be newb, then insulting me for it.

Its a slang term. Both spellings, kyke, and kike are accepted, orrr not accepted since they are clearly racial.
I wasn't insulting YOU, I was the insulted one because you said it. I don't know if you were joking or not, but I don't think that's a very cool joke
Im pretty sure calling someone genius after being a grammar nazi is an insult. Ive never heard of "jew" being accepted either hence the mention of the word. If youre that easily offended maybe you shouldnt be on the internet...
Of course the word "Jew" is accepted. But "kyke" is a racial slur, and, yes I am offended by it. And sorry I said "genius" but their comment made me angry. I think Bar can back me up [if they're still reading this.] As for being on the internet, I don't look up anti-Semitic things, so I don't understand what you're saying.
Anyway, this is getting off-topic. I don't even think a couple of the people who commented this even watched the parody lol!

You spelled "kyke" wrong, genius.
