Macs wouldn't exist if PCs did what they were supposed to
- ukit0
Seriously, this is pure ignorance...I had a PC for a few years and recently switched so I know.
It's not fanboyism to say that Macs are just better designed and engineered, hands down. With a Mac I can tell it was built from the standpoint of actually delivering a good experience...with the PC I feel like I'm being sold a machine as a pretense to sell me anti virus software.
- i use vmware fusion w/ xp home for stuff. it's like an endless barrage of security updates and virus scan prompts.prophet0NE
- even if your update your anti-virus, there a ton of new stuff that your not protected against.akrokdesign
- CRITICAL - your security settings may be out of date! Would YOU like to start paying Norton $20/ month?ukit
- Option 1: Yes. Option 2: Remind me again in 10 minutes.ukit
- HATE THAT STUFF!akrokdesign

Think raf just ended this thread :)
Its great, we all argue which is a better OS, which is a better tool for a creative to work on...arguing all the while to avoid doing any real work...hehe
- emukid0
as far as the OS goes, Snow/Leopard is leaps and bounds better than window xp or even vista. but Windows 7 is fantastic. microsoft have never been innovators but this time they've done something right.
- never been innovators? cmon go look at their gazillion products, tell me they didn't invent anything after that...zarkonite
- akrokdesign0
it's not just about the os. it's about GOOD design and branding.
look, now when you fitted you studio with all designer chairs, tables and other fancy stuff. a HP/DELL/ACER/YOMAMA/ALIENWARE wouldn't fit in.
it's like buying a knock-off designer chair. it might be good but it won't beat the original.
- I don't know about your studio, but in mine the computers are under the desks.TINKLDN
- only think under the desk is my secretary and the subwoofer. lol.akrokdesign
- ooooops. i am to tired. cant spell.akrokdesign
- i don't like it under the desk. i have long legs. and i like to stretch. plus there is two chairs. so. its on top. instead.akrokdesign

What was the original premise of this thread? PCs are more durable than Macs? Someone try to make that argument lol
- durability can't be compared. pcs are made by so many different companies. macs always by appleemukid
- apples and orangesemukid
- i hate Dell thoughemukid
- more than i hate appleemukid
- Who are the high end PC manufacturers?ukit
- Hp Z series workstations are the best machines for creatives. I had a z600 at work. very fast.Hombre_Lobo

I gotta say I am working with apple on my macbook which has cracked a second time. I truly 'baby' this machine as I do all of my equipment. Apple agreed to replace it for free again...but they have completely fucked up the repair 4 times....the computer came back worse than I sent it, they replaced an optical drive the second time and didn't even look at the case, then they gave me the wrong keyboard.
They have too many customers to service and now we get crappy support and shitty [the plastic mac book] design. I am rethinking my long history as a customer.
I have never had a previous problem but this one has gotten out of control to a point where I am starting to take it personally.
Any one want to buy a brand new macbook?

This ends all Mac vs Pc debates.

10 Seconds to hack a Mac
http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_…Miller has won the PWN2OWN contest the past two years. In 2008, he was able to gain control of a Leopard-based MacBook Air using a newly discovered vulnerability in Safari. That took him less than two minutes. This year, it only took him 10 seconds or so to exploit a hole in Safari on a MacBook running Leopard.
"I had a feeling that Mac was easier (to hack) than Windows," he said. "If I can find the Safari bug or exploit in a few days and it would take me 10 times as long for IE, why would I do that? I go after the easiest guy."
- thing is, real hackers still prefer to hack windowsraf
- probably due to the low market share mac has, right?jerseyred
- but I'm just messing, I don't give a shit, use what you wantraf
- Yeah, I think it's basically market share...if Mac had more users it would be targeted more, and obviously Apple would have to spend more on securityukit
- spend more on securityukit
- totally, no point in hacking a mac, low % of people use them compared to pc
jerseyred - not anymore, it's actually a nice target, just hardly anyone's shooting. I'm surprised myselfraf
- ur right ukit - why would hackers waste time 2 hack an os w less users than another - less $, less reachjerseyred
- shoot away!
*loads gunukit - I'm more interested in phreaking (after a link on here about the phone guys) seems fun

who the fuck cares. if it works it works.
- The problem is that most PCs do not work.utopian
- and when it doesn't, you just buy a new one.digdre
- utopian, was the power cord plugged in?emukid
- Let me double-check.utopian
- Shit, the power cord was unplugged. Let me plug it in thanks.utopian
- i said, who the f# cares. what do these opinions change to the world around you?freitag
- if the world has your retarded simpleton viewpoint we'd still be riding horse back and living in cavesset

Make sure you tell people that the hacking contest he won consisted of him turning up with something which ha had already written, he just pressed a button after he had already spent several hours at home wherever trying to hack the computer and after he was sucessfull he went to the contest and did what he already knew worked.
So no he did not hack the computer in ten seconds, he won a competition in ten seconds, with a practiced formula which already worked.
Quote the part of the article where it says the contestants turn up with prewritten code.
Naughty.
- dude whatever, still shows it can be done.jerseyred
- "took 10 seconds to exploit a hole in Safari" he didn't bring the laptop!jerseyred
- even the dumbest fuck knows that 10 sec. it's not possible.
akrokdesign - ahahahahahaGucci
- sounds like you don't know people who can do that kind of stuffjerseyred

The more platforms there are, the more competition, the better for us users. Unless you own either company's stock, you're defending it because you've been brainwashed to present brand loyalty.
I use Apple stuff as a personal preference but the better the competition gets, the better for every end user.
I'm sick of it when people get caught into brand camp tricks set up by marketing depts. Civillians, ok, but most people here work in advertsing and should know the game ffs!
- good - like a true artist in this industry I own both and design for both - I don't discriminate, I hate em alljerseyred
- Same with politics. Ppl think their president is their friend. Does he ever play golf with them? No, he does with bankers.raf
- it's not a bad approach jr :) however, computers need love, or they wont start at times - just like carsraf
