I want to see the studdy that shows how many Apple product users have volvos, subarus, buggs, etc
(/stirspot)

Whats the bet mac users are more likely to whine and throw money at every problem in their life, and never fix anything themselves or do handiwork around the home.

Again - no offense to mac users on TPU. you guys are at least smart enough to be on a forum

ROFL, good point! I don't know if the world could handle the 75+% that would come out of that @_0 Or the 8.23% that know how to post on a real forum. Not just a blog or myspace ;p

I have worked with Macs and Linux so for me this is all in good fun everyone.

HAHAHA!!! That's too funny...

I think anyone who has an apple product are snobs... "OMG! My new iPod touch is better than your sansa e280" "OMG! MY iPhone is better than ur envy"

OMG! Apple! Who cares that you have a freaking apple product! That doesn't make you of a higher class, does it?

The thing I hate about most Mac users is they know nothing about computers. A lot of my richer friends buy macs "because they're expensive, therefore good. And also they're pretty". I was talking to my friend who is a Mac user and he asked me what I was up to. I said I was hacking my friend and just messing with him. So he goes "haha stupid Windows, you can't do anything to me". So I said yeah I can, I can laugh that you paid $2400 for a glorified Ipod.

i liked the envy

tiys · Feb 21, 2008

People are saying the iPhone's are better than them, which I happen to disagree.

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

i have to agree with you :toast:

tiys · Feb 21, 2008

So you agree with me that Envy > iPhone

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

ohh ya there is NOTHING revolutionary about the iphone, i fact it is missing a few features over other phones, i hate the no keyboard thing

LG VOYAGER FTW!!!!

oh and about the revolutionary bit.. its just the touch screen... thats about the only revolutionary bit.

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 21, 2008

I think this story is spot on and it is 100% true.

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

not even the tough screen is revolutionary, but the way they play it up you would think it is

I really can say I have learned a lot more about you guys here lately, and have found my self feelings kinda awkward. This thread honestly makes me feel like I being stereotyped for no apparent reason...Sorry if I'm the one to come in here and burst a bubble, and I also apologize if this sounds emo. Anyway, thanks guys! :toast:

Big thanks to Zek for posting this! :toast:

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

my sis has one its just a touch screen and noting more other phones have them along with laptops and what not, if apple pioneered them that would be different but they didn't

tiys · Feb 21, 2008

Right...so they copied the tablet PC touch screen (afaik, it was first)

panchoman · Feb 21, 2008

i'm with ya ravenas... almost everyone here hates macs for some reason.. and it really sucks

tiys · Feb 21, 2008

I could type a 30 page paper on why I hate mac.

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

ravenous that sounds like snob talk, jk your a cool dude and obviously not a snob, you know what your talking about (about pcs and whatever) but remember the only worse than being a snob is an emo snob

PVTCaboose1337 · Feb 21, 2008

I hate mac because the I-Macs I used were basically light up boat anchors...

tiys · Feb 21, 2008

boat anchor macs ftw

das müffin mann · Feb 21, 2008

the main reason as to why i dont like macs is because they are SEVERELY over hyped, and as this little study as proven a good chunk of mac owners tend to be on the snobby side, and there all like omg we have macs were artists because we own macs and we have a far superior intellect because of it, granted not all mac owners are like that, a few forum memebers have proven that, but there are a few people that i know that are like that
