[QUOTE=Sanius;31511768]that's like saying all facebook users are retards because you saw a screenshot of a user posting something stupid[/QUOTE] Tell me how its related.
are you serious I have met so many idiots who use Windows, using an operating system makes no difference to your intelligence
[QUOTE=anton;31511891]are you serious I have met so many idiots who use Windows, using an operating system makes no difference to your intelligence[/QUOTE] It kind of does. In general, windows users are smarter than mac users. [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] I never said all the time.
Hahahahaha are you completely serious Where is your source for this data, and why do you think that if I use Windows I would be smarter than I am because I am now using a mac [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] It's funny how many people think that Macs are for dumb people and Windows is for smart people It doesn't make a difference what OS you use really come on

I never said its correct 100% of the time.
But why do you somehow think that Mac users are dumber than Windows users?
[QUOTE=anton;31512079]But why do you somehow think that Mac users are dumber than Windows users?[/QUOTE] Walk into your local coffee shop and you'll see why.
I'm talking computer wise, not there overall smartness. Often, mac users aren't as alert and don't pay as much attention than windows users do. I wasn't being dumb, I was just stating a point.
Why do you somehow think that?!?! It makes no sense at all why you are saying that! [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Smug Bastard;31512116]Walk into your local coffee shop and you'll see why.[/QUOTE] What are you trying to say here?
You could possibly say that it takes less intelligence to run one or the other, but saying "Mac users don't have to worry about viruses, therefore idiots" is stupid
You tell me why I think that. Because a large marketing point of macs are "no viruses". Why are you getting all angry?!?!

[QUOTE=Map in a box;31512174]You tell me why I think that. Because a large marketing point of macs are "no viruses". Why are you getting all angry?!?![/QUOTE] That isn't a large marketing point. The only thing it says is that Macs don't get "PC viruses" And I can't tell you why you think that, I'm not you. I'm alert, I pay attention to things, I use a Mac, and I know plenty of people just like me. The fact that you are spewing out BS about PC users being smarter than Mac users is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
Jesus dude, You need to pay attention to what i'm saying.
A large part of the advertising for macs is "no viruses" because they're massively less likely to get a virus what's your point Also I use Linux, there are few Linux viruses (comparatively). Am I somehow losing intelligence? I might call YOU stupid for using a ten-year-old OS.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;31512235]Jesus dude, You need to pay attention to what i'm saying.[/QUOTE] Please tell me what you are trying to say here. All I see is stuff like this: [quote]It kind of does.

[quote]Often, mac users aren't as alert and don't pay as much attention than windows users do.[/quote] How did you come to this conclusion.
I used to use Opera, it was great but for some reason it constantly crashed on Facepunch, maybe they fixed that. [editline]3rd August 2011[/editline] or maybe it was just a problem of my past computer :|
[QUOTE=Map in a box;31512292]I never said that it was every user thats dumb.

Windows XP works. I don't have to update until I want to.
Ok, I understand that part. But how are Windows users smarter than Mac users "on average". That's one thing that just makes 0 sense.
Can we just let it go already? This has already got way out of hand.
I just want the answer to that one question, and then I'd be glad to end it.
Often, is what i meant, not all the time, just sometimes.
No, that's not what I am asking. I am asking why you think this, and where you got this idea from.
Because I know a lot of mac users. The price is insanely high, I don't know why people wouldn't stick with buying a cheaper Windows computer. And mac users commonly say OH MAC IS BETTER, WE GET NO VIRUSES.
I know a lot of Windows users who are complete morons. That doesn't mean that I'm going to say that Mac users are smarter "on average". You can think what you want about the price, but we're paying it, not you, so why does it matter to you what we spend our money on.

Dumb topic. So I'm stupid for using a browser even tho another one is better? Fuck off with this shit.
I have both Mac and Windows computers and I can definitely say I feel a lot more care-free when I'm using MacOS. However, care-free does not mean dumber. Also I use IE after a fresh install of Windows until I feel like not using it. This can mean months on IE because honestly I hardly see any definitive reason to switch since it loads web pages. Sure I guess Firefox and all those are quicker to load but I am not using a Pentium III so this speed difference is unnoticeable. Browser security also doesn't matter imo unless you spend your evenings searching up the newest russian porn star or a hot mail-order bride. I guess then there's the GUI and features that other browsers come with but I mean for the average person these aren't really all that necessary and more of a nice-to-have. but honestly, when I can get to my favorite string of websites within a couple seconds on any browser, does it matter?
