MACS ARE WORTHLESS

Why Macs are worthless
A simple technological explanation as to why Macintosh computers are nothing more than overpriced paperweights.

Let’s first start with the fact that the price of an iMac is 1,500 dollars, base. That’s with no upgrades, installed programs, or extra features or accessories. Let’s take a closer look though, at why they are completely worthless merely for the fact that you can get a better PC for far less.
To do this we are simply going to post a parts list for a different PC build with nearly the same parts such as ram speed and processor type, with the only difference being the amount of ram and speed of the processor, and different parts obviously. The main factor is that it is still an intel core 2 duo LGA 775 socket system. Let’s begin shall we?

ASUS P5E3 WS PRO LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - $200

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - $270

Kingston HyperX 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory - $210

Thermaltake W0116RU 750W Modular Power Supply Unit - $120

Sony Optiarc DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model LightScribe Support - $34

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $100

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - $90

XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) Video Card – $175

Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" 3ms Widescreen LCD HDMI Monitor - $310

Logitech 920-000021 Black USB Standard Access Keyboard 600 - $25

Logitech M500 Tilt Wheel USB Corded Laser Mouse - $40

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - $190

Total Cost: $1,764

iMac total cost: $2,249

That does of course reflect the cost of having a lower model graphics card with less ram on it and a 3” smaller screen than the one we have selected for our pc.

That part list is definitive proof that you can build a much better system AND get the input devices to go along with it at a much lower cost than it would be to simply buy an iMac.

Oh, I also forgot to mention one things that’s always bothered me about the iMac. You have to have an external amplifier to use the microphone input port. WTF? I have NEVER seen that in any computer in my entire life. What a worthless machine.

So there you have it folks, ultimate proof that unless you need to use ONE piece of video editing software that is only on Macs, they are completely worthless. They don’t magically perform any better than pcs simply because they’re Macs, they crash and freeze when working with memory and cpu intensive programs such as those in the adobe CS4 suite just as often as pcs do, if not more from what I’ve seen.

Also, if you were planning on spending 2,249 dollars on that iMac, and don’t mind spending the extra 485 dollars you’d save getting the pc part list I put together, you could throw in a pretty sweet sound card and/or a kick ass surround sound system to go along with it all.

Do note that I did leave shipping costs out of both of these equations as well.

So I really do hope I’ve provided more than enough information to prove to you my point.

Macs are worthless

Megan Fox is ugly

Megan Fox has a giant freaking madams apple. She has a stupid half open mouth constantly coupled with this blank horse face that just makes her look like an idiot. She is a horrible actor, and she has only one stupid tone that she uses every time she speaks. It's like trying to play a timpani part on a pair of bongos, it sounds terrible and doesn't work. This post has been long overdue, and I have only waited so long because I wanted the impact of how truly terrible transformers 2 was to fully sink in. That being said, I'm not done with Michael bay yet.

Transformers 2 SUCKED`

This has to be one of the worst pieces of cinematic garbage I have EVER had the misfortune of seeing at a midnight showing. Mind you, I went to the midnight showing of SNAKES ON A PLANE, and if forced to watch either Transformers 2 or SOAP? You'd better bet your butt I'd be less sick and tired of those snakes on that plane than those incomprehensible heaps of metal nonsense. My three main complaints, which I feel are also the biggest sour point in this film, are the incredibly base and lewd jokes and humor, the lack of connection to any characters, and the lack of any story telling. Actually, allow me to add a fourth, the horrible make you want to vomit diarrhea camera work that plagues this entire film. Not to mention that this movie is two and a half hours long although half way through it already feels like it's been three hours. I'm just gonna cut it off right there, this movie is terrible, I'm never going to watch either the first or the second ever again and I will not be seeing any more that they are going to inevitably make. Two thumbs down, no stars, do not go and see this film EVER.

Imposters and identity theft.

Impersonations are cool as long as they are done for comedic or satirical purposes, for the most part. There is a point however where these things cross over into the border of identity theft. It's like famous people who have a twitter account that's supposedly theirs, even though they have somebody else update it for them acting like them. Or that guy who claimed to be Kanye West and said something hilarious about something that was said about him, it was funny but it wasn't right. I think that people who do these sorts of things should be sent to jail. It's like me making a myspace page for George W. Bush and doing things on it that just mock him and make him look like a fool. Seriously though, if you see things like this you should be more concerned, because you never know when it's going to happen to you.

Where the paragraphs at?

Excuse me for not using paragraphs.

Do you know the function of a paragraph, which people so encourage me to use more often? It's a device used in literature and writing that separates ideas. It's meant to help give specific meaning to a section of words.

Why do we have to use them though? Why can't we just write what comes out of our mouths and put it down on the paper? Why can't I just start punching the keys and end where I feel I should end?

I don't know about you but I'm starting to get annoyed by these paragraphs.

After all, a paragraph is meant to separate ideas, and so far I've had a lot of ideas to separate.

I like just writing words and leaving them all together, because to me they mean nothing on their own. It's like you pick up a book and then put it down, pick up another one and put it down, and do it again and again and again.

What happens when a random ideas comes and separates two sentences that would otherwise be in the same paragraph?

The reason I leave my words all in one big chunk is because they are all related to each other.

That is why when I write I don't see separate ideas, different parts for some big machine. I see a passage, flowing from the start to the end like a mighty river, the constant tide, the rising and setting of the sun.

I could use two words to describe how I feel about paragraphs, but I'll leave that out of here, for the sake of the children.

I hate you paragraphs, you turn writing into a monster and dissect it while it's still alive, mangling it and slowly killing it.

This is what it looks like when you use paragraphs properly, so please, tell me how wonderful they are now?

Pepsi or Coke.....

Yeah, I don't like Coke but I also don't like Pepsi. Now if it's available to drink and there's nothing else I'd rather have, like a barqs rootbeer, then give me a coke or pepsi. Why do I have to like one or the other though? Why is it that when I said that I don't like coke, the first thing people said was "Oh, so you're a Pepsi guy?" Why is it that we as people must be categories and classified into every little thing imaginable, we can't just be people. If somebody was mad at me let's say during a debate and he said "We'll of course you don't know what you're talking about, you like Pepsi." or "We'll of course you don't know what's actually funny you like Invader Zim" I'd say it's no worse than them just flat out calling me stupid, dumb, retarded, an idiot, a moron, a buffoon, or ANY other derogatory statement. Of course people want to be around those that are like themselves, it's only a reflection on the true nature of man and just how self absorbed we all really all. I know I'm guilty of this, I hate on Mac users, people with chrome 22s' on their cars, liberals, jocks, just look at my other posts and you'll see. Yeah, I could say I do this for comedy but that still doesn't cover the fact that I mean what I write and it's a statement on how I feel. Still though, I will respect peoples legal rights to do the things they do, and the things they love. After all, that is what we all are, people, not Coke or Pepsi, but people.

Worse for wear, a bad case of The Redeye.

I do enjoy a good read every time I come across a fun book, such as World War Z, but most of my printed reading material comes in the form of the paper. Now, this isn't the Tribune or the Sun Times or any of those big ones, it's the Redeye, the only paper in Chicago I can afford (because it's free). I barely read half of this paper however, as I find most of it boring and uninspired. Let's go through why.

1st page, unimportant news I don't care about.
Next page, why the CTA sucks. Duh? *flip*
Wow, a 2 page spread on coffee. Tell me again why people drink this crap?
More unimportant news, yawn.
Nation/world news, finally a good page with some interesting news stories.
Sports section, skipped entirely
Metro Mix, where to get drunk and listen to boring generic bands. SKIP
Pop section, wow a 2 page U2 spread, who cares? Boring tv shows. WHO CARES?
Whoville and Redhot, stuff about celebrities and Hollywood. Who gives a CRAP?

Now occasionally there is an interesting article in the paper, but usually when that happens it is the only worthwhile part of the paper.

Wrap up: I'm getting tired of having Redeye, maybe I'll go for some Onion Breath for a while.
