My Experiment on the Internet

Mac vs PC

I own and use Windows based PC's. I use Windows for work and to play games. While enjoying the various ads from Apple I could not help but notice many inaccuracies in the various commercials. A friend sent me this article by Charlie Brooker on his take of the British commercial campaign which I found dead on.

One memorable quote;

PCs are the ramshackle computers of the people. You can build your own from scratch, then customise it into oblivion. Sometimes you have to slap it to make it work properly, just like the Tardis (Doctor Who, incidentally, would definitely use a PC). PCs have charm; Macs ooze pretension.

There's more but you should go read the article for it, unless you're a Mac owner. :)

Thought I'd see what this Technorati stuff does.
