David Ker Outs The Apple Owner’s Lie

And he does it with panache. Apple Owners…. we know what you’re really all about now.

UPDATE: I find the following sentences from the essay quoted by Crossley in comments to be so true and resonate so well with my own sentiments that I am compelled to restate them here:

I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don’t use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui. 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.

Amen and Amen! [Emphasis mine]

UPDATE II: Doug ‘The Mac Man’s Mantoy’ Chaplin has stepped to the aid of poor benighted besotted Apple to defend them against the truth of their snobberynessishness. Doug’s defense is ill founded though and proves the rightness of Ker’s evaluation. His shriek bubbles up from the pits of MacHell where MacPhiles all repose in MacWretchedness and MacDespair and for that very reason must protest MacBadness with claims of MacGoodness. But, alas, MacDoug- no one believes it except those who are members of MacCult.
