AppleCare to Apple Computer Users: Your Mac is Infected, Fun is Over
Long known for not being able to play that game you like and for not working with that printer you just bought, Apple computers are now known for being the “least prepared for” and “most susceptible to” viruses.
Apple recently increased its market share by leveraging its monopoly, appealing to women and minorities, and attacking PC’s as being full of viruses. But now the joke is on Apple device owners.
According to a May 16 internal memo obtained by ZDNet security researcher Ed Bott, Apple is instructing its AppleCare support representatives to essentially avoid the entire issue of MacDefender, a Trojan that has plagued Mac users for nearly three weeks by posing as legitimate antivirus software and urging users to download it.
“AppleCare does not provide support for removal of the malware. You should not confirm or deny whether the customer’s Mac is infected or not,” the memo reads.
Unlike PC users, Apple users are not rational owners, they see the company as some sort of religion with Steve Jobs as a false god. They are true fanatics willing to pay anything for an overpriced computer just because their religion has tricked them into thinking they are both better than and rebelling against the rest of the world. However, in reality, Apple computers do not run any useful software and are only good for browsing porn.
When interviewed, user “dt-606160” had this to say:
If this had been Microsoft assuming such a nonchalant approach to malware, the uproar would be much louder. What Mac users don’t realize is that they’ve avoided the malware pitfalls not because the operating system is superior or their user base is more knowledgeable, but because there hasn’t been a large enough base to make it worth the virus writers’ time. Now, that base is growing, and Apple can either learn from the failings of Microsoft when faced with this issue, or repeat its mistakes. I’m pretty sure it will be the latter.
While apple used to pretend to be the underdog company in the fight against Microsoft. It is now Apple Computers that is the company that is seen as the evil one:
From a loyal Apple user:
“Apple is turning consumerism into communism. Any entity that enforces such anti-competitive practices and dictates what their paying population can and cannot have without any explanation, consistency, or reason is communistic. It’s wrong and I will no longer support it.”

What decade are you living in?
“attacking PC’s as being full of viruses”
That’s because they ARE full of viruses.
“However, in reality, Apple computers do not run any useful software and are only good for browsing porn.”
That’s entirely not true. Apples nowadays support pretty much any software that PCs support. If they don’t, you can always purchase Parallels or a similar product.
“While apple used to pretend to be the underdog company in the fight against Microsoft. It is now Apple Computers that is the company that is seen as the evil one:”

actually its become Apple refuses to use certain types of coding and systems like Flash which is a program that allows for constant moving video and interactions within it and most games and gaming companies use flash coding as a preference do to easy use.
Also there are quite a few games available cross platform and even more are. Those games that aren’t these days are either for the first part of my post or because building the code for macs means more programmers and most game budgets while big would rather go for content then apple systems.
Now to go to your direct mac attack garbage…
Mac’s are quite useful apple computers are great for artistic programs and are used by medical professions do to the number of programs made available to them for diagnosis support

The apples good at graphics is quite the farce:
Repost:
• According to my Korean:
“The apple good graphics lie is a fallacy. Apple computers support about 10% of the graphics cards produced today.
Windows/Intel based computers support 99.3% of all graphics cards including multi card crossfire and quad SLI configurations. In addition windows based intel computers support high end professional workstation GPU graphics cards like fireGl.
Also, direct x 10 is light years ahead of any apple supported engines.
As far as the apple being virus free idiocy. The reason windows machines are targeted is akin to the United states being hated/envied by the world. No one attacks or hates Guyana (Apple)
If apple computers were used for anything except hipster rebellion they would be a target too. A much easier one too.”

August,
I think your graphs are impeccable examples of the difference between mac and pc. I think it is also interesting how the most rabid of the fans of these machines are drawn to defend the weaknesses as features rather than the defects they truly are.
We have a Macbook Pro thingy, iPad, a desktop PC, HP notebook, a 30 pound Toshiba laptop from the late 80′s using DOS in our home.
Setting up the Mac on the network, one begins to see the innate language differences in quality. The Mac will prompt for a system password, when it really wants a network key. It is like trying to have a discussion with a liberal when black is white and white is flaming purple.
The Mac does not have Internet explorer, and tempts the user to take a Safari with preloaded links to homosexual sites. The keyboard is completely different and seems to always have the PC users of our home frustrated.
The MacProbook has a photo-booth to discretely take “junk shots” and share them with other Mac sickos over the interwebs. While I personally haven’t tried this, I think that the interest shown by some commentators is proof enough that the rainbow freak flag flies on an apple topped flesh pole for these deviants.
I could go on about the “magic mouse”, but I would like to leave some room for other commentators to bring this additional threat to light.
Fantastic and timely reporting, Brother August.

Have you ever right-clicked? Unless you have specific options set up (which would be outside of the PC/Mac debate), right clicking does NOT alter image size. If anything, that’s a browser option, and even then Claire wouldn’t be able to alter how it’s displayed. At best, she could save the items, resize them in paint (while also ruining the quality of the image), post them up somewhere, and then post the links. The path of doing what you want her to do is longer than you think.
And I repeat again: who has a computer that can’t load images that big in just a couple of seconds? Now, display quality is a different story, but that’s not part of the Mac/PC debate, since it’s unrelated to what you run.

Actually, they have, and it’s much more elegant than the separate button commonly used on PCs. They use a touchpad on mice, and the pad can detect where the person’s finger is, left, right, middle, top, or bottom. The computer translates this location into a left or right click.

See this is where apple users are so ignorant. Apples are a monopoly; there is no competition so there is no innovation. PC’s are open to competition and therefore meet consumer’s actual needs. For example there is not one FDA approved diagnosis apple computer. Items like EM emissions do not meet hospital regulatory requirements. In my line of work, before I retired, we used laptops that met MIL-STD specifications. You could drop out laptops 10 feet onto concrete with no damage or even into water. The Toughbook laptop is an example if you do not believe me.

L.N,
Not everyone is on foodstamps and welfare checks to pay for another computer while they live with Mommy and Daddy.
The design of these machines includes a brushed metal and rounded edges, which (like glass) makes it easier to drop only at a much higher cost. You quickly dismiss Stephenson’s point without thought or consideration.
Why would the company sell additional “cases” if the product wasn’t flawed?
This is what happens when a MacBookPro is dropped. Sounds like it is broken to me.

Never said that macs don’t break. All I said was that if you drop any kind of computer, there’s going to be some serious damage. Granted, there ARE models that can withstand a good beating, but unless your extremely accident prone or crazy about protection, odds are your computer isn’t going to be able to withstand a good drop.

My open macbook slipped off of my bed in my dorm room by accident and fell to the linoleum floor about five feet down (my bed was lofted) and except for the CD drive getting jammed and trapping my Les Miserables DVD inside, everything works perfectly fine. I brought it to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they opened up the casing and extracted the DVD free of charge. Unfortunately I now have to use an external CD drive.

There were no boys in the room. I foolishly set my laptop down too close to the edge of the bed. When I climbed up onto the bed the shifting motion caused it to slide off onto the floor. And computerized beds? What makes you think the beds are computerized? Just because I had a computer resting on my bed does not mean that the entire bed is computerized. I believe I explained the “five feet off the floor” thing when I mentioned that the bed was lofted. Do you know what lofted means?
