Ok so rate me dumb if you want but I have a MAC and I like it better than my old PC.
So I want to know all of your personal reasonings for hating on macs. I obviously know many reasons but I want to know your PERSONAL reasoning to see if you actually hate it or if your just joining the crowd. I do not play a lot of computer games and the ones I do play I can "acquire" mac versions of, like Spore, Morrowind, Starcraft, Diablo 2 and others. Other than that I need to worry about viruses a lot less. I get to use a couple of sweet programs that are Mac only. Overall I just like mac better than PC but if I had to put a reason of me hating mac (because OP has to contribute) I would say:
I hate when I want to download something and It is the wrong file type or I can't get it on mac.
Oh and that they are unnecessarily expensive
Lets see your reasons.
A Mac killed my father and raped my mother.
because they are omg MACS!!!11
because they're useless expensive pieces of shit

I shed a single manly tear for your loss.

the only reason you gave here is the price, what makes them useless, because using one now I can do a lot more on this than I could my old PC

Got in on the Box =P I like getting any games I can on console to reserve HD space because I make a lot of movies. And I am sure you know video can fill HD pretty quick.
uurhghg do i really need to get into it it's pretty much common knowledge among people who know what they're doing
gimped OS, lack of support, lack of customisation, awkward to use, the company is full of assholes, they're always making selfish decisions, they actively badmouth the competition, make you pay out the ass for addons that should be free or included in the first place, the computer is overpriced for the included hardware, lack of basic functionality, i could go on like this
They're stupid and I don't like them.
still you cant play it on your mac and you have to play it on a console lol
[QUOTE=OrDnAs;20224909]still you cant play it on your mac and you have to play it on a console lol[/QUOTE]
I would rather play it on console than a PC

I know all of this I just want to see if some people have legitimate reasons because I have seen some dumb answers such as "they are dumb and I don't like them"
Well they are treated as if, when you get a job (self-employed or not) in the media buisness you need a MAC and that MAC's are better for this when anything you can do on a PC and more because the PC has a bigger following by far. Now I know that is a little bias and PC Elite but why promote an obviously overpriced only for looks shoddy MAC (That yes can get fucking viruses) when you could get a PC that not only makes it easier for gamers (+1 for me) but also has much more software support (+1 for me) a comfortable mouse with TWO fucking buttons (Yes I am aware of the fact you can right-click with a MAC mouse but they are terrible) and the GUI is horrible to navigate and Windows or any other operating system that I have knowledge of has such a better and more thoroughly thought out system.
Sorry for wall of text, TL:DR MACs are for gays.
I'm a dumbass and I'm sorry for probably making PC guys look like cocks but it's the best way I can explain my reason for not hating MACs, but severely disliking them and most of the people who fucing use them (My dad has turned into an elitist fool since he got his MAC)

Before I get into a response I want to say, I am happy using Mac or PC I just slightly prefer Mac because I have gotten so use to it that PC is more awkward for me to use now. The Mac is incredibly over priced and that sucks but one of the main reasons people get them is for their laptops (I have a macbook pro) because It is fairly hard to argue that mac laptops do top out most PC laptops. Also yeah you can still get viruses but it is much harder to. The software support is lacking but also is a tiny bit less needed I have found so far and you can use a PC mouse with a mac computer. (I personally don't I just use that laptop touch pad) They do that in my school. The hard to navigate to me is just because most people are already use to PC and have grown knowing it. I have gotten use to it and it has now made it awkward to navigate PC for me.
TL ; DR
Macs are not as bad as made out to be, they have their pros and cons.

If you didn't waste all your money on a mac, you would be able to afford a bigger hard drive :/
[QUOTE=OrDnAs;20225065]well you cant play mass effect on them[/QUOTE]
Alright just because I love both of them so much I'll give you a point for that.
"I've had enough of your snide insinuations"
Who doesn't love that?

My mac came with a 300 GB external hard drive at half price <3
and it is not that I ran out of room, It is that I would rather just play games on xbox then have them use room on my computer.

On my mac? no
Doesn't matter anyway because my brother has a PC in my house and I have an xbox

All mac users are the same.
Their heads are so far up their own asses that they can't see why they suck

I am a mac user and I am not yelling at your for liking PC better, I am simply asking if you have a personal reason to hate them. I do hate some flaws about them but not enough to go around saying how much they suck because honestly they don't. And just because I use a mac doesn't mean I go around saying I hate PC. They are both useful, they both have upsides and downsides.

[QUOTE=Mal1t1a;20225268][/QUOTE]
haha that is probably the worst part about macs!
Honestly, I have no problems with macs. I just have a problem with most mac users who think using a mac means that they're high class now.
I swear to god I will backhand the next kid who tells me that I'm using a PC because I'm poor.
They're too expensive.
They can't play games.
They're not powerful.
They're not supported much.
OSX is a shitty OS and it junks up more than windows in my experience.
There is little driver support for any device you plug in.
They are not the top notch high quality for the price.
You cannot customize them.
You cannot repair them.
They do depreciate pretty damn fast. You cannot sell them, because noone wants them.
I love the iPod Touch, though. I don't hate Apple, I just hate Macintosh.

See I hate that too, and it is giving macs and mac users a really bad name.

lol? No one has ever said that because I'm using a PC I'm poor. I just think the Mac's are overly complicated and wouldn't want to waste the money on it. the iPhone SDK is horrible. Trying to get your iPhone to sync with your apps is crying worthy. Let's see, you need to do about 15 things, before you can sync an app you created with their SDK. And that's AFTER you bought the DEV License.
[edit]
and setting up the Dev License is another hell....
