This is old, and everyone's probably seen it.... but it's still funny.

Mac's are more expensive because only apple makes them. They make gorgeous machines plus a brilliant OS from just one company. They are truly innovators and push hard on R&D. Raw speed, fine. PC's are only faster by a margin thats less important than the interface. Mac's will be up to top pc speed soon enough if they haven't already, and all we'll have left is OS wars. Obviously you're a PC guy and wish to marginalize the interface as unimportant. The OS is everything and is part of the speed factor that is most important to us mac users.

I just bored myself.

Don't let my post fool you I have nothing against them just asking. Apple is trying to even go after ps2 and xbox what??? If I had the money I would have both until then I have a pc wanting a laptop. If you are on the internet downloading stuff you shouldn't be and getting cracked software problems will come. I will not lie I tried to get some cracked software and got a virus lesson learned.

Now windows are making these videos? They will both soon forget about the people that buy the computers and will have these funny but dumb video's about each other as an update. I wish software music would have made hardware way cheaper so we would not have these wars and misunderstanding ya know? Wish I could afford to just use more hardware and finalize in software instead of many controllers for software to get away from the mouse trap.

No.... it's private citizens making home videos which parody the Mac commercials over the years.

Microsoft does not engage in guerilla marketing. Only Apple does that.

That's what I've been saying, too.

I'm sure that the MacBook Pro will go Core 2 Duo the next time Steve Jobs makes a speech.

goodie...not that im stuck for cpu, but I'm looking forward to someone successfully installing one of those core 2 duo chips into one of the current (intel) iMacs

My real post was just was just asking why macs are using windows and intel to gain speed but dawg windows and that a trend which would make buying a mac a good time but look at what your saying now. core duo 2's and not g5 dual core's. Your looking for windows and intels spec's more then a hard core mac.

Could you rephraze that please? Because that doesn't make much sense to me.
