How to Fix Your Computer (Humor)
Finally, one diagram reveals all the intricacies of computer assistance! Oh, how true this is…

Mac users going PC
Yeah, I know. Right now you’re thinking…”Here goes Patrick. Up on his soapbox again.”
I just have to tell you that I’ve been holding onto the article that prompted this post for about two months…hoping I could put the thought aside. But it’s not going to happen. I can’t love the Mac, I really can’t. And I’m not alone.
Finally, it’s time to introduce you to some friends who think its time for all those Mac users to give up their shiny, soon to be out-of-date, overpriced toys. Please welcome…
Natania, who switched back to PC this past fall for reasons of price, upgradeability, and gaming.
Joe, who did some intense price comparison, bought a Sony laptop instead of a Macbook, and loves Windows 7. Also have a look at his article on sales comparisions for Mac and Windows machines here.
David has written extensively on the simplicity of Windows 7 features over Mac. I like this one on backing up files. Search his blog for yourself.
Another Reason to Hate Apple…
The reasons to dislike Apple keep piling up...and I must vent them out again!
Reason #1 - Everything is Apple's way or no way!
Today I moved a few videos onto my iPhone. Which ones you ask? Well, I don't get a choice. It's all videos, or the latest 5 videos. What if I want my wedding from 6 years ago, and a video from last week? No can do. Can't you guys just put a darn check box on the videos page? Why does this have to be so hard?!
Need a backup battery for your MacBook or iPhone or iPod? Sorry...there no longer removable. You have to attach some bulky ugly accessory.
Reason #2 - Everything is expensive!
Today I tried to connect a video cable to my iPhone to play back video on the television...yes, the cable was made for the iPhone, but guess what, it didn't work. Turns out Apple's latest software update for the iPhone disables any cables not made/licensed by Apple. Can't buy a $3 cable off of ebay...gotta pay $50 for an official Apple accessory.
Hate hate hate hate hate.
Does anyone else feel the way I do?
My Feelings on Mac Computers…
Those who know me, have probably heard some of my sentiments on Mac computers. To make it short and sweet--I'm not a fan. This picture shares some of the feelings I have on the subject:
My advice to anyone purchasing one is the following: A basic MacBook costs $900-1000. Go spend $900-1000 on a Windows laptop, and you will be just as thrilled. Just don't spend $300 at Walmart on some off brand machine and then complain that Macs are better. No, their not better. They just don't allow people to sell Mac's OS on cheap machines.
Why I Hate Apple Computers…
I’m not one to knock another company…but Apple is my exception. I’m getting tired of the trendy norms of my generation and their “you’re not cool if you don’t have one” mentality toward Starbucks, Phones with email, and Apple gadgets. Not to mention, that Apple’s pitiful “we’re better than Microsoft” ads are just getting on my nerves. So here are a few reasons to dislike Apple:
1. The Safari browser sucks…and Apple users know it. I work for a online company that received millions of visits a week. What percentage of users come to our site using Safari? Less than 1%. Mac users use Firefox. Why can’t Apple get its program saavy together and create a decent web browser? And now they want to allow Windows users to install it, hah! Good luck.
2. Need a RAM upgrade? Computer acting funny? It broke? No, you can’t fix it yourself. Take it to the Apple store. Best of luck finding an apple store nearby and getting it fixed in a timely manner! I hope there wasn’t anything incredibly important on there, because if the part is not in stock, you might be in big trouble. Oh, and I hope the repairs are cheap, considering they have to do it. http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2007/12/03/Hate-Apple-Day
3. I need a free program to… Shareware? Freeware? Not likely. Search the web for a program solution for Windows and you’re likely to find one. Looking to extend the capabilities of your Mac? I can’t help you there.
