lol..and people complain that even after months of testing on the ptr patches are still released with bugs. If you go on the ptr, it is not so that you can simply see the new stuff early, you are there to test the patch and report any bugs/problems you may encounter. Responsibility comes with the privilege

Products like the iPod and iPhone are clearly the best in their category and people use it because they are cool and they work well. However, I suspect that most people using Apple desktops and laptops use it just for the snob factor. I just don't like the general attitude of Apple desktop/laptop users. Most think they're better humans than PC users.

I have a macbook (and yes, an iPod) and I bought it because I am more comfortable with the unix-style OS as I use solaris servers at work all the time. Furthermore, I am a photographer and a mac suits my needs better than a windows based system. What I like in my mac is just the ease of use, as I dont need to care about maintaining the system - most is done automatically and I am quite lazy I dont say macs are superior, but for me they are more suitable, and I am kind of sad that most windows users keep flaming apple users.

The iPhone has a stranglehold on the hip smartphone market, yes. The iPod, on the other hand, has had better alternatives for a long time. Apple markets well, and so the iPod continues to win out.

When it comes to computers, the primary deciding factor should be: What are you used to? Used to using PCs since you were in school? Get a PC. Macs? Get a Mac. No issue. I've had a lot more people look down on me because I use Windows and PCs than the other way around. As someone who builds his own computers, purchasing an Apple computer seems like a completely foreign idea to me. For other people, a Mac makes perfect sense.

The thing that gets me is that the fight exists in the first place and that people feel required to defend/contest their choice of operating system/hardware. It's fueled (in my opinion) by Apple's constant needling at Microsoft. Admittedly, some (and perhaps even a majority) of the "Mac vs. PC" commercials are funny and/or true. Some of them, however, are straight-up lies and really shouldn't be considered anything but false marketing. Omission is one thing, amplifying a false sense of safety is another thing, but outright lying about yourself or the competition is really bad form. The same thing drives me nuts about car commercials and political campaign commercials. Just sell your product on what your product can do, not because the other guy sucks worse.
