“1. Fanboy”
Fanboy still means “fanboy”. It’s the endless forum posts by Apple defenders who will say anything (including lie) to defend their purchase.
If you’re a true fanboy, you’re an idiot.
If you tell me I’m going to get a virus because I use a MS OS, you’re an idiot. Still waiting on my first virus\spyware\malware and I’ve been a computer user since 1985..... both Apple and MS software\OS. Oh, and Linux & Ubuntu. Wanna guess which OS gave me the most problem? (hint - it wasn’t from MS)
“6. “Apple is the new Microsoft””
Author is a dolt. MS used to be accused of having a restrictive license, now Apple has the worst.
Nice try to dodge the issue.
Let’s build a computer to fit my needs, with the components I want, at the prices I’m willing to pay, then decide which OS to put on it.
“7. Smug Mac users”
The fanboys who think they’re better than the rest of society because they bought a box that lights up are certainly smug, arrogant pricks. These people are the ones who bought Apple thinking they were buying a personality and\or lifestyle only to be disappointed after they learned nobody liked them. If anything, people liked them even less.
How about #8?
8. Apple is run by libtards and eco-nazis (Gore still there?)
I see this a lot and never did care about their politics. Don’t care about MS’s politics either.
Guess what? The hardware is made in communist\3rd world countries, sometimes by children.
Knowing that, why would you support the communist state and child labor with your computer\phone purchase?
Suddenly it’s all a non-issue.
....
People don’t hate Apple, they hate obnoxious fanboys.
Author needs to get over it and quit being a crybaby fanboy.
“Let’s build a computer to fit my needs, with the components I want, at the prices I’m willing to pay, then decide which OS to put on it.”
And you can then put the Gun142 brand on it, promote it, and watch it completely fail to develop into a quarter-trillion-dollar company.
Most users don’t want to DIY, they want a _system_ that _works_. Only Apple does that (remember Microsoft only makes the OS).
