A brand of computers made by apple inc. People tend to buy these pieces of shit because 1. they are retarded at using a computer. 2. Since they are retarded, they have never heard of FREEWARE, so they think that graphic editing is exclusive for mac. 3. They can't take care of a computer worth a flying fuck (open the case and see how much dust has built up), so they blame simple PEBKAC on moronic claims. Now that they have one, they try (and fail miserably) at defending themselves for their own stupidity. They say that mac is innovative (a word they probably don't even know) and try to sound like they know stuff about computers. An easy way to spot this is to ask if nVidia cards work on macs. Because of their lack of computer skills and poor choice of pc, they bash windows and linux users and fail because most people take care of their computer, thereby leading to less problems. They try to claim that macs are the best yet, both windows and linux based pcs' are: faster, more reliable, have assloads of apps, lower prices, are easily upgradeable (and yeah update and upgrade are different so stfu you ignorant POS) and they do believe it or not just work like macs do. Oh and the facts on the mac page at apple are wrong. Considering that fact that 802.11n has been in draft for quite a while and my computer has astonishing speed too. Have you heard of SATA2 which is a high speed hard drive connection?

Seriously, if you're too retarded to use windows or linux, then computers aren't for you.
Person 1: why did you buy a Macintosh?
Person 2: they don't have viruses-
1: neither does linux.
2: whats linux?

Get the Macintosh mug.
A family of desktop and laptop computers from Apple, introduced in 1984. It was the first computer to popularize the graphical user interface (GUI). The combination of Mac hardware and software has been exceptionally consistent over the years, providing an ease of use that Mac users have enjoyed. With a Windows emulator such as Virtual PC, Macs can also run Windows and DOS applications.
Mac User: "Don't you just love it when things just work?!"
PC User: "Really?! Is that possible?"
Mac User: "Oh. Sorry, I forgot you use Windows."

Never ask a man what kind of computer he uses:
If he uses a macintosh, he will tell you.
If he usea a PC, why embarrass him?

A branded, overpriced PC for self-absorbed children.
I feel like paying triple the price for half the performance in my new computer. Also, I can barely operate one. Guess I'll get a Macintosh!

Get the Macintosh mug.
A very stable, UNIX based computer that "PC Users" feel they have to hate. Any PC user should thank Apple because without Apple you would 1) Have no mouse. 2) Have no graphical user interface (GUI). 3) No Windows "Vista," because the OS is basically a copy of many of the features that Mac users have had for years.

Seriously guys, DaimlerBenz invented the automobile, Starbucks re-invented coffee as we know it, and Apple invented the personal computer. The first is always the best at everything.
PC User: Did you guys see the new Windows Vista preview?! It's sweet with the gadgets and live preview on the taskbar!!
Mac User: I've had those features for a while man...
PC User: Wow you must be l33t did you download a pirated copy of the developers release!!?!?!
Mac User: Uh no, I use a Macintosh.

Get the macintosh mug.
A computer system used by some as an alternative to PCs. Noted for their stability, Macs are commonly used for graphical design, editing and similar visual-performance tasks. Industry standard in photography and movie industries. Unfortunately, lack of developer support and relative nonexistence of an open-source community keeps the Mac a distant second in the eyes of the computing community.
iMac, iBook, i-anything, Jaguar, MacOS
