Huh? I prefer Apples.
My jaw dropped when I saw someone writing a post about how she prefers the PC and IE. Hahahaha. Nothing wrong with preferences, the sheep still uses a PC and so do a huge portion of my friends, but her blog post really made me crack up.
I’m not against this person or dislike her blog, but perhaps she should read up before typing all these about apple’s products. Not that I blame her, but… well. Just to set some stuff straight about the Mac.
However, when PC closes a program, it closes completely. Unlike mac where after I click ‘x’ on a document, the application at the bottom still shows it as opened and the tab stays up there irritatingly like a pestering ex. I still have to Ctrl-click it and press quit in order to sever ties with it completely for the day.
Ctrl+Q does the job of quitting an application. Ctrl+W closes it.
A PC’s default mouse also has 2 buttons - left click, right click. This enables you to use the mouse on one hand while eating goreng pisang on the other hand and if you have long hands, you could even relax on a slight laid-back position.
Whereas for mac, their default mouse is a ONE-click mouse. In order to rightclick, I have to put down my goreng pisang, move forward from my comfortable sofa position, press “Ctrl” while clicking the mouse. Why can’t the mac people just make a 2-click mouse? That also means I cannot copy-paste using only one hand-_-Yes I know I can use a PC mouse on a Mac, but wouldn’t it be easier if the mac mouse that comes with the computer doesn’t try to be different and insist on being a one-click mouse?
My laptop has both, and the Magic Mouse has left click, AND right click.
AND, where is their scroll? The one usually in between left&right click. I’m so used to using that scroll to scroll through long blogs, it’s so difficult to keep pressing “down”! Oh ya, the mac mouse is really uncomfortable as well. My hand cramps everyday because of it.
And yes, my Magic Mouse has the scrolling function too.
And they are also compatible with other brands like Logitech, and Msoft which has the middle scroll click wheel as well.
Pretty sad to see apple being condemned because the company failed to upgrade to better hardware.
The number of macs (MBPs, iMacs, MBs, Mac minis) I’ve seen around while visiting clients have increased. I see 10 macs compared to 5 PCs, and ever since i’ve gotten a MBP, there’s just no turning back (till i need to use a government site which is IE only apparently or playing games which that refuses to support mac), just because everything is so much more convenient for me. Expose is the best thing ever. (I know linux can do that too lah okay okay)
And, IE should be boycotted. Government websites that don’t work with IE should be condemned too.
