Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

That, and the fucking annoying as all hell Justin Long 'I'm a Mac' commercials and some experience with a few complete douchebag mac guys in my dorm irritated the shit out of me.
My boss and a couple of my coworkers use Macs now, and they are pretty nice. I'll stick to my PC, but no real complaints other than I don't want to switch to a different ecosystem.

Being crippled just leads to Dalek jokes... (old school Who reference)
@Shivahn
People fetishize his Frenchness.
i was going to say have you explained they can go up stairs now?
He lives on as cheezburger grease in our hearts.
No offense but this is kind of silly
it's well documented that Apple charges a premium just because they can
If they sold their machines for the same profit margin that Lenovo sells theirs at they would completely crush the PC laptop market

Ah. I guess I didn't get "fetishize" from what you said. To me it's more of a raw sexual thing. Tranny chasers, etc.
Dalek jokes started before New Who and when everyone just pretended the levitating Dalek's from McCoy's run didn't exist.
Plus, it means I have a fair few Dalek figures given to me as joke presents
Their fucking awesome profit margins come from their phones and tablets, in which yes, they do mark them up like whoa.
I think the iPhone 5 costs them 200-250 to make and ship, and they sell them for 700 to phone retailers.
edit: specifically, their computer business is somewhere around 20% of what they do any more - the rest comes from their iOS ecosystem. The computers are not responsible for that chart looking that way.
It's not furry as long as you do it backstage at Cats.
Anywhere else and you're damaged goods
if that isnt a silver lining i don't know what is

Which is fine, there's nothing wrong with having a premium brand with better software and driver issues (the issues that have come up re: win 8 with my notebook don't happen in OSX)
but there's nothing inherently special about a macbook it's just a premium ultrabook with a different OS
However the next line of Air's is going to have a faster line of video processor than the next line of ultrabooks I think? If that's the case I might pick one up once the hd4000 stops cutting muster for casual games
You wanna take a 20 year position in AAPL?
Then again I recall a mention by a 4chan mod that 99% of 'ironic' anti-semitism posted was from either a British or Australian IP.
Welcome to the world of disappointing facial hair.

Fuck I love stationary cameras
Michael Bay you son of a bitch
curse this nose
What about Justin Long?
'cause he's got a douchebag face that makes me want to bash it in with a cinder block.
all pieces of electronics are horribly designed infuriating pieces of shit until proven otherwise
and everyone involved in their making are dastardly bastards and incompetents, as a baseline
At least that is my perception, and the latter is something I hate for a hundred reasons.
I'm looking for more recent info but I know in 2010 the MacBook air (for example) had an even bigger markup than the phones. It was upwards of 25% and got into the 30s on some models.
Here is something more recent that is specific to Macs (not phones): http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/04/16/mac_profits_are_high_too_high.html
but I can't let will just fat around chat with his new computer

i'm sure plenty of people hated you for you and not because of your background
That was a sweet movie. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted, but damn if that gun didn't kick ass.
But I still don't have a job for this summer so I guess that's one not-fun thing I still have to figure out.
Cost to me beyond price + Applecare: $0. Worth. It.
I don't want to take a 20 year position on any one company. That's nuts, considering how much disruptive technology has happened in 20 years.
20 years ago windows 3.11 and WordPerfect were the belles of the ball, and there were generic macs being made by Compaq and Packard Bell.
fuck you jobs!
Yeah yeah yeahhhh
Big nose like a baboon
yeah yeah yeahhhhh
Yes that was me Chu.

What makes a lot of people mad is that people will buy powerful macs and they just don't need them. It doesn't really bother me I guess, but it seems silly to buy that super expensive powerful machine if you never use it for anything except email and social media. Just like it would be silly to get any other $2000 rig from any other company.
Hodgman only. Judge John Hodgman is the best thing on the Internet.
banning us from entering sites like that in school was a mistake, we realized (also we realized later when it didn't matter, something we could have won an argument with the teachers about arguing from free speech and all that)
because the best way to ensure someone doesn't get into that stuff is have them read it
the amount of people who will take someone who consistently writes USA as Jew$A seriously is... small.
Also it took us a while to get that they meant USA.
