I was browsing youtube the other day and came across one of my favorite mac commercials, and noticed everyone slamming macs in the comments. It seems that some people troll the internet looking for places to slam them. But where does this extreme hatred come from? Maybe they aren't a gamers dream machine, but to most people that means nothing. They are without question more stable on the whole. I pointed out that with over 1700 known viruses on the wild list, none are for macs. If you seach F-secure there are 24 hits, all either MS Word macro viruses, or hoaxes. The security difference is not even anything you can dispute. It is night and day. Regarding stability, I pointed out that OSX is based on the Unix core, and that unix runs our phone system, the internet, the most powerful super computers, etc. (can you imagine the internet running on microsoft? uggh.) I watch the science channel quite a bit and can't help but notice that the folks planning planetary missions are using apples. Most of the content out there whether music or video had apples used in its creation. With all of this in mind how can you not respect the mac? I don't hate windows, it has a few uses, and if you like that, then great. But why all the hate towards something with such a great resume? I got one response saying something like "if you know how to build a pc...bla...bla..bla.." I pointed out that I have been building PCs since the MS DOS days, and have built MS networks up through 2000 server, so I don't buy into that BS. I just don't know what motivates the haters.
