Assuming that that’s a video, why didn’t you just link to video?

He’s got about ten billion videos and I didn’t feel like going through all of them to find that specific moment, haha.

Videogames

Linux runs steam and many of games run through WINE.

But not ALL of them. If I invest 600 dollars into a gaming rig, I want access to as much games as I can.

You can slow down any animation in Mac OS with the Shift key.

One Last Thing on Maximizers

I totally forgot to mention this, but it is a pretty important point:

The whole point of the window arrangement system was to increase productivity. The main way that the windowing system is by making windows exploit humans’ basic spatial ability. A key skill of all humans is to manage objects in space. Arranging them, moving them, the whole lot. One thing that was ingenious about the traditional desktop model is how it gave users the power to exploit this innate skill and become more productive because of that. Now, the window model may not have been totally successful at achieving this goal, just ask a tech-incompetent person how many windows they typically have at a time, and the answer you usually get is zero. But that’s a whole other rabbit hole. . . .

Let’s take the Mac/PC discussion from the Random Star Wars Pics thread over here.

Hopefully I’ll get to discuss why file name extensions are stupid.

I’ve tackled this before. It’s not overpriced.

Care to link me to the post in which you proved that?

I think you’re confused on the meaning of “hopefully.”

Haha just kidding, Macs are the anime of computers and I want nothing to do with them.

This might be the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever said.

I’m afraid not.

Nope.

With Windows you’re getting a mediocre (at best) or crappy (at worst) OS.

Also, that picture’s old.

lol k

I guess you’ve just been Stockholm Syndrome’d into thinking the way you do.

Yeah it’s so bad that I’ve used both systems extensively and decided that Macs suck.

Windows isn’t the world’s greatest thing, but pretending that an Apple OS is somehow superior and doesn’t pull the same BS Windows does is ridiculous.

Heh, what BS do you think Apple does?

I would link to a podcast here but it hasn’t come out yet.

Also, most people don’t buy the Mac Pro. They buy laptops, as every year since about ten years ago, Apple’s sold more laptops than desktops.

Yeah, because you buy a Mac when you want to overpay to browse Facebook and write your manuscript in a Starbucks and not for any real work, in which case you’d buy a PC.

Look in almost any video production, audio production, or other creative work field, and you’ll see that they all use Macs.

People jump on Windows and Cortana for all the tracking and whatnot. OSX and Siri do the exact same thing.

Apple tries harder to make sure that they don’t see your information. The new Photos faces feature that’s coming this fall doesn’t sync to the cloud, almost at the detriment of the user experience.

My PC will run any of those programs better and with a longer lifetime (due to swapping hardware) than any Mac off the shelf.

I doubt your claims, but even if they are true, professionals like specific software and the environment that the Mac provides. It’s easier to develop pro software for the Mac.

People aren’t “brainwashed” into Apple. I mean, many Apple fans have been bearish on Apple for the past couple of years. It’s just that Apple is the best option.

Also, really old Windows is even more crappy than new Windows. Both are about the same, though.

There probably is, but this particular one is about how running Windows isn’t all that great and has bunch of pitfalls, bottomless pits, and landmines.
