Apple's Unix distribution. Properly utilizes a multicore CPU for the best multiprocessing experience, properly manages RAM and efficiently runs the machine, for as low as 4 hours to as much as 10 hours of continuous use on a MacBook, compared to 3 hours maximum on a Windows PC. Very difficult to obtain a virus, string, robust, reliable, and, if properly taken care of, can last well over a decade. It's worth it's price!

Get the OS X mug.Mac OS X (n.)-
The best operating system. Ever. OS X is the future of operating systems, it's clean, elegant, easy to use, and most importantly - useful. The only reason that people don't use OS X is because they are too busy using their horrible Windows XP computers. Macs can do much more than Windows could ever do. They have built-in PDF software, so you don't have to download Adobe Acrobat, there are no viruses for Mac. By the way, I forgot to mention that you'll never need AIM again, say hello to iChat, which can do much more than AIM. Microsoft Office works on OS X, better than on Windows. Updating your software is easy, just go to Software Update, conveniently located in many places. New Macs even have Photo Booth, which utilizes built-in iSight, the most advanced webcam in the world. You use an iPod, I presume. Well, it will always work better with OS X, it is made for Mac.

Person 1: I heard that he uses Windows. I bet that his computer just crashed.
Person 2: It did. I use a Mac, mine won't ever crash. I've had it for two years, I have never gotten a virus. Everything works perfectly on Mac OS X.
Person 1: Shit! My PC just crashed!
Person 2: That's what happens when you use XP.

Get the Mac OS X mug.Related Words
People bash windows and say it's like a 300$ virus for a reason, simply because it's true. Learn how computer OS's work and you will see.
To the idiot no7orious who wrote "Mac worshippers who think that Mac OS X is "safer" than Windows need to get their shit straight - people who create spyware and viruses naturally want to infect as many people as possible... and what computer do most people use? PC's!!! They don't want to waste their time making viruses for computers that not many people use - they focus on the majority!"
You couldn't be further from the truth. It is YOU who needs to get your shit straight and learn how OS's works and see that even if viruses and spyware were created for macs, the user would have to implement it themselves by enter the root password. You fucking idiot.
Mac OS X is a fucking amazingly stable, and learn that the way Mac's work is superior to the stupid coding that windows use. Wow so some games won't work, big deal(they have windows emulators though). I can finally customize my PC to my needs without having some fucking error message pop up and crash my machine. I can browse the internet and install and use(though techincally I'm not installing the Application, since it's stand alone) without having to worry about spyware and viruses and stupid bullshit like that.
Real computer people know that Mac's are better and just more fun to use. Even programmers know it. Everything is easier to access if you just learn to use it. Graphics are handled way easier since its openGL and a mac is a so much more powerful than any PC is. People who bash Mac's are just stupid gamer junkies who fail to see who the OS works.
With my Mac OS X I no longer have to have stupid bullshit spyware protectors and virus guards installed and running in the backround sucking up my resources. I can let my wife and kids use it without having to worry about viruses and shit. The games I play also handle much better due to open GL and I can make graphics and flash videos so much easier. Though I do own Windows(for gaming), I would take a Mac anyday over Windozes. I know how both of the OS's work. I wish game designers would see the light and program the games for MACs

Get the Mac OS X mug.OS X is the world's worst, least secure and least efficient operating system. Made by the world's worst computing company, Apple Inc. Based on UNIX.
In realilty, it may not be THE worst, but it sure isn't anywhere near the best. They are basiclaly an over complicated GUI running an out dated Operating System. Kind of like Windows, only Windows isn't spending half your computer's power trying to emulate another operating system like Mac is.
Lets not forget they only support Intel, the single worst processor on the market.
Do yourself a favor:
Buy a Windows PC. If you give a rats ass about security, which you shouldn't, because you're a nobody and nobody is going to hack a nobody, get Linux.
Linux is the most efficient and secure operating system, which is why 80% of servers run on linux, about 4.9% run on windows, about 15% run on FreeBSD, and about 0.1% run on Mac. The only downside is that most distributions run on linux native instead of FAT32, which causes it to be next to impossible to play .exe games. However, there are distributions which run .exes like Xandros, with the FAT32 operating system, and are therefore even better than Windows, even if it's slight.
Everyone knows, the only reason Mac has the least viruses is because it has the smallest percent of both the server and home desktop market shares.

Windows User: Why the hell are you using Mac OS X for games when the games were made for WINDOWS?
Mac User: Because I'm a dickhead and like to fit in by paying $1000 for an oversized paper weight!

Get the OSX86 mug.Operating System used by 'mac whores', people who will buy anything with the mac logo on it. They would buy a bag of dog shit as long as it was coloured off white and had an apple on it. Mac OS X is an inferior operating system with many bugs yet mac whores bitch on about it all day because it's all they can use on their shitty off white pieces of crap
