Leave PC Alone!!!!!!!
written by John Chow
To all you Mac loving hippies, leave PC alone! I mean, PC is having a hard enough time as it is without you Apple fan boys making fun of it with your super cool TV commercials. Just because a Mac look so much more cooler and doesn’t need anti-virus or anti-spyware software is no reason to mock poor old PC!
The video below parodies MAC vs. PC, involves the Shel Israrel puppet fiasco and the viral video of leave Britney Spears alone. Think it will go viral? Spread it around if you like it.

Nice Post John!
Chris Crocker parody FTL!
Goodness that is funny…”Just leave PC alone his a computer!!!!”
That wasn’t Shel Israel.
I saw a Macbook Air parody on TV yesterday. It’s in French but the guy wrote the text but you must click “More info” at the upper right of the page.
F@#$ing MacBook
…what…the…#%&@…
Seriously though, I’m one step closer to switching my desktop to OSX as well.
I already have
I’ve discovered VMWare Fusion too. I think my Hackintosh runs Vista better under VMWare than it did natively
And the PC vs. Mac debate resumes…..
That was messed up. I think the only reason why you posted it was because they mentioned your name. hah
Did you really expect any less?
If thats the technique I should start doing it also lol ….
Is anything John does NOT related to marketing/making money????
What’s this have to do with making money? I can’t stand Vic, but the dude is right.
Good thing I’m using pc or you’ll be nagging on me.
Forget PC or Mac’s. Ubuntu is the way to go!
No way! Machine Code is the way to go!
No matter what people say about PC, it’s gonna dominated the world of computer until the day someone develop a system that can read the files at least 100 times faster than regular computers can. A system that can communicate with any kind of network existing and a system where you can load its application from any device you want to.
That was really, really bad.
ROFLOL. Aaahhh, it’s a debate that will never die. I’m sure.
I just might be a Mac lovin’ hippie soon.
I rethink every day and still hasn’t convinced me yet
I wish there was somewhere I could go to read the pros and cons of both sides.
this a really cool post thanks a lot
It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of completely useless, yet so captivating, material there is on the internet.
I am using both of them,no problema
PC is for me.
I’ll give it 3 stars ***
It mentioned John Chow so I’m sure you’re happy about that…lol
Will it go viral? meh…I don’t think so.

That is good enough to put a geek’s son to sleep… but I am sure the kid would still demand Linux over Vista or XP anyday.
Anyone who actually knows about computers has a PC. Macs are too uncustomizable and noobish.
My stats still show that only 2-3% of the visitors to my site are Mac users. Back in 1999 I remember the stats on most of the sites I worked with were about 2-3% Mac as well. Has anything really changed?
One thing I have noticed is that the MAJORITY of my visitors use Firefox, meaning more than 50%, but 10 years ago it was dominated by IE and Netscape.
yeah alot of people are using Firefox now days and IE’s monopoly is going down
I just bought a Macbook Pro and I love it. It’s definitely better than winblows…
Please believe me when I ask this question, that I’m asking sincerely and not to try to defend PC’s, because I really don’t care which I use, but what’s better about Macs?? I know quite a few people have have been PC users for a while now and have converted to Macs and when I ask them, all they ever say “They’re just better…” and I say “How? What’s better about them?” and they say “I don’t know… just get one, you’ll see they’re better…”
It’s like they come with some kind of a hypnosis program that makes people want to use them without reason. I’m really curious what is better about them…are they faster than PC’s? If so, wouldn’t a faster processor solve that on a PC? Are they more stable than Vista? Why not stick with XP? Do they just look nicer? To me looks don’t matter as much as utility for laptops. Are the software programs you can get for Mac better than PC?
What is it that’s better about them? I’ve played with them for a bit at the store, but I don’t really see the big deal myself… just curious.
Actually, you really do need to use it for a week before you discover what the fuss is all about. You can’t tell the difference while playing with it at a Best Buy. Some of the things that makes the Mac better includes.
- Start up time: 25 seconds. Shut down in 5 seconds
- No anti-virus or anti-spyware required
- OSX is lean and mean while Vista is bloasted
- less overhead means it’s faster
- It doesn’t crash
- No compatibility issues
- You delete programs by dragging one icon to the trash can. No need for an un-install or worry about residual stuff.
- If you have to, it can run Windows
The main advantage is the overall experience. Once you start using it for a while, you’ll start to wonder how the hell you were able to put up with with Windows all these years.
I got the Macbook Pro with the full the intention of installing Windows on it but decided to give the OS a week. Now, instead of installing Windows on the Macbook, I’m looking at installing OSX on my PCs.
- My Desktop Replacement Laptop takes like 10 minutes to load everything, but that includes loading up my Outlook etc.
- I use McAffee Antivirus, easy to install once, never worry about it after that, it just auto-updates itself, so no big deal
- I don’t use Vista, but I heard it’s bloated…I’m still running XP
- Speedwise my machine isn’t too bad, except when I’ve got like 20 Firefox windows open and Photoshop, and Outlook, etc.
- My laptop hardly ever crashes. Maybe like once a year.
- No compatibility issues
- When I want to delete a program I just go to “Add/Remove Programs”. I don’t really add/remove many programs except little utilities that I might try out for a few days, but besides that it’s almost always Outlook, Office, Photoshop, Firefox, MSN Messenger, not much new software to add/remove for me.
I think I know what you mean though. It’s kind of like trying to explain the difference between Windows 95 and Windows XP or Windows NT and Windows 2000. They’re just better, but hard to explain.
Maybe when it comes time to upgrade my laptop I’ll consider trying out a mac.
25 seconds? Jesus christ. My comp takes a couple minutes lol. Is it still so fast even if you have a lot of stuff installed, because I know that’s what’s slowing me down?
Get this… My Hackintosh running VM Ware, running Vista in the background, boots Vista in less time than my PC running Vista natively. It was one of the funniest things I ever saw.
Mac is cool but the world runs on PC anyhow !!!
Chris Crocker is annoying.
It makes all these parodies and other videos making fun of him that much more enjoyable.
Currently use a PC but have been thinking of trying th MAC. Not sure what to do. Any ideas?
I use both Windows and Mac (though admittedly the MacBook is my main personal machine, not Windows), and both work amazingly well for me. All the PC-bashing by Mac fanboys is too excessive. If Windows is really that bad, why isn’t Apple the dominant market leader yet? Apparently the world still think Windows works relatively well.
If Apple figures out Gaming, MS is in trouble. It’s not so much PC vs Mac, it is more, OSX vs Windows. I’m running a PC with OSX and it runs much better than the same PC running Vista. It is just so much faster and smoother.
I’ve always been a PC user and sure, I made fun of Apple. That was until I finally installed it and played with it (on a PC no less!) and now I love it. It’s one of those things you sort of don’t get until you do it. At least it was that way with me. If Apple releases a white box OSX distro for Intel based PCs, it’ll be a very interesting indeed.
I gotta use the mac at work for designing, once you get used to it it’s awsome, still missing loads of plug ins and stuff tho…
LMFAO
It sounded like it was laughing its ass off in some parts.
