Charlie Brooker professes to the world I hate Macs.
As I read his piece I felt like I was listening to Dennis Miller trying to be funny whilst saying Iraq is going great and that we need to bomb the people over there.
Lots of wit and sarcasm and poetic tripe:
Cue 10 years of nasal bleating from Mac-likers who profess to like Macs not because they are fashionable, but because “they are just better”. Mac owners often sneer that kind of defence back at you when you mock their silly, posturing contraptions, because in doing so, you have inadvertently put your finger on the dark fear haunting their feeble, quivering soul – that in some sense, they are a superficial semi-person assembled from packaging; an infinitely sad, second-rate replicant who doesn’t really know what they are doing here, but feels vaguely significant and creative each time they gaze at their sleek designer machine. And the more deftly constructed and wittily argued their defence, the more terrified and wounded they secretly are.
You can tell that Charlie hasn’t looked at a Mac since the Apple IIe. He still thinks that it is impossible to have a second mouse button (the new two finger trackpad click on the macbooks is nice btw).
Good try Charlie. If your new TV show is as uneducated as this, we won’t be grabbing it ;)

That’s your cutting retort? That Macs have two mouse buttons now? And that the article contained “lots of wit”?
Bravo! I see the spirit of debate is not dead.

Anything you can do on your Mac i can do on a pc… that includes installing Linux and your POS OSX.

still smiling at “Cutting Wit”
I,ve never seen an apple computer let alone used one so obviously have a deep,dark,devastatingly distorted view of this forbidden fruit.
