Windows vs. Mac OS X Megathread

[Dannu]

why did you attack another person's opinion and call them a liar?

Wait, what. Quote please.

uh also confirmation bias doesn't apply when you're stating your own opinion

I was more or less referring to a situation such as the video that was posted.

sry forgot one thing

(general speaking)

it's also pretty disrespectful to someone else's beliefs to dismiss them as being founded on ignorance or fallacy, please address the thoughts themselves and not the perceived source of them. that in itself causes the danger of argument and it's best to avoid argument in favour of actually human-like discussion.

You're right, Apple products are meant to be bought, thrown away, and upgraded with new products.

Bullstuff.
-stuff trying to prove his opinion is wrong-

I admit being too crude there.

Apple products are known to last longer. My IMac ran fine for 4 years without anything more than internal-dusting and keeping the hard disk clear. It would have gone on for much longer if it weren't for me leaving it in direct sunlight in summer and having a connection fry. Much longer. I still boot it up every once in a while to recover old files.

My MacBook Air's hard disk died after a year or two of being shut off and a total 8 years of life time. (planned obsolescence?)

My Mac Mini toaster is still going strong though :)
