I have had to one for about 2 years at my school.
- You can't hack on them/hack other people
- They are extremely overpriced. (more overpriced then alienware).
- You can't play any games on them, and if you can it's only because they copied Microsoft.
- It's almost impossible to upgrade/build as you have to buy special parts and just look at the shape of them!
- They have a gay name!
Discuss.
1) OS X has a full UNIX back-end, you can compile 99% of the Linux 'hacking' applications you know and love, and the other one percent are easily ported to the BSD/Darwin platform. If you're talking about all your RATs and other skiddie tools; I don't want to hear about it; your opinion doesn't matter to me in the slightest and you should go learn to actually hack instead of sitting around making shitty arguments.
2) If you're just a 'feature whore' that looks at the RAM, CPU and HDD space of a product and determines the worth of the purely on these things, you're an idiot. With Apple, you pay for more than a shitty beige box you'd get if you bought something else. You get quality, both in the actual quality of the material used and the effort that's put into the design of the machine. You get more than a computer, too. You get great support, sometimes you get free products with it. Every time I've contacted Apple my experience has been nothing but great, stop being such a feature whore.
3) You can't play any games on them? Hey, last time I checked, there were a number of A-grade games available for OS X. For example, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is available natively on OS X. The fact that developers don't make games for an OS is not a fair reason to say 'it sucks'.
4) They take standard hard-drives, standard RAM.etc.
5) This point isn't even worth arguing about, if you're not going to use a product because you find the name 'gay' then I don't see why anyone would want to hear from you. "they have a gay name," what sort of freakin argument is that? If you want to talk about the subject, how about getting a decent freakin argument before you go talking crap.
We have had this argument before and you ran away the last time. Do you want to have another try now?
