Indeed.
I was referring to their recent tv ads that cause brief, yet dangerous, seizures
It's caused by over exposure to Cold Play.
I own a phone though, I keep it simple... Haven't added any app since I got it because I am an underdeveloped antilope in search of his spiritual bayou escapade.

Anyone that says a PC is just as reliable as a Mac is kidding themselves.

macs arent really *that* great. Most of the reason they are reliable isnt because their OS is so stable, its bc it being a minority in the desktop environment means its a minority in the virus/etc-coder scope. And that is slowly changing.
I'm still hard-pressed to believe macs are worth 2-3x the price. that just seems wasteful to own a designer computer.

FFS, why do people keep saying this? There are more people that own Macs than PCs at my university. If there was going to be a zomgmackillervirus it would've already been made!

If the pc happens to be running slackware instead of Vista then yeah, it's probably leaps and bounds more reliable than OSX.

People who go on with "if you want to do anything serious get a mac" are just stupid.
The simple fact that Iv almost always had my windows computers running fine unless iv done something to warrant a screw up ruins your theory of "mac is better". And yes, iv used macs, in fact I worked as tech support at a uni campus and the macs where a pain in the ass.
Get whatever system you enjoy using more. There is no "BETTER" system (that is unless you are a pretentious wanker ).

If you want to look retarded cool buy a Mac.
If you need a computer to do stuff buy a regular PC.

No, they just understand how to use their PC properly.

The laptop with Vista uninstalled is the better value for money item out of those machines.
If you want to look cool and impress all the other fan-gimps while drinking your latte at Starbucks though then go with the MAC.

Spot on. The whole reliability argument is getting very tiresome.

I was a PC user since I was born until last year around this time. I will never go back. Until I got my MacBook Pro about a week ago, the MacBook was the best (and most reliable) computer I'd ever used. That PC that you posted looks fantastic with its specs, but the unreliability and Vista warrant the MacBook purchase imo.
edit: unless you're a hardc0re gamer. If you play lots of computer games go with the PC.
What is the problem with Vista?!?!?!? Everyone says that Vista sucks but it kicks ass. If you don't like Vista please list the reasons why.
