Charlie Brooker hates macs
A thoroughly enjoyable rant against Macs by Charlie Brooker on the Guardian website.
I think macs are bloody silly machines. I’ve been in enough Apple stores now to say I feel a little bit of puke welling up at the thought of people actually thinking that THESE ARE COOL and OMG I MUST HAVE A MAC TO BE SEEN TO HAVE A MAC as I walk around loading TCAL on all the 192 inch wide screens. Covet efficiency and power, not gleaming white pretentiousness and pointless dashboard widgets - eschew anything carrying even remote connotations of that gloriously eww inducing term lifestyle.

Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
On the other hand Mac OS X is essentially FreeBSD with a layer of shiny over it, and FreeBSD is one of the best OSs out there.

Hahaha, the rage and vitriol from the Mac zealots in the comments section of that Guardian page is hilarious.

Isn’t eschewing something because of the lifestyle associated with it also a lifestyle choice? Personally I favour using what works. I can get along fine with my work PC for most tasks, but the productivity boost I get from my Mac is real.

I’ve never had a virus, I’ve never owned a mac. Suck it.
