Mac Vs PC: Battle It Out Bobby Fischer Style

@GlenTen:

i SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR!

so, you removed the only thing that separates them, aside from maybe product design, and told us that it doesn't count.

ReconToaster.

What is a PC? And What is a Mac? Define them without talking about the OS please.

oh Great, Just wait until digg gets a hold of this. Well i am going to my bunker to wait out the war. Any one else want in?

@anexanhume: All I have to say to that response: Nice.

I see we kickin it old-school here.

@rt¹⁰⁰: Uhhh.... its just for show?

TheMightyTexMex

@TheMightyTexMex: Simpletons cant play chess anyway.

Sean Scrooby Grube

How do you remember which piece is which?
e.g.:Is the software box a rook? (I know it's not, but when you're putting on all of the pieces, you don't know how to set it up.)

Yellowexample

@anexanhume: Awww, man......*tips hat*

How long have you had that pun packed in, waiting for this moment?

*groan-worthy*

@TheMightyTexMex: Wouldn't chess be something trendy MacBook owners in coffee shops would love to be caught playing? Nice try, though.

Brett Benedict

@TheMightyTexMex: Chess is for NERDS!!!!
Steve Jobs is a nerd, why cant he play chess?

Yellowexample

@TheMightyTexMex: wait. chess is built into the OS...

@TheMightyTexMex: yea... macs are too cool to play any games

Pfft. Everybody knows that Mac is too cool to play chess!

TheMightyTexMex

If Bobby Fischer sued for you using his name and won, would you be paying the Fischer Price?

this is worth re-posting across 4 blogs? Really?!

highpitch_83

Knock it off, you guys.

Dave Bunting

Solitaire seems like PC's game. Chess is Mac's.

I wouldn't mind Mac vs. PC pinball.

@ttk2: Nah, I got an invite to Tom Cruise's. Although, for some reason he wanted me to pick up a bottle of wine and some Tylenol PM. But, that doesn't mean anything... right?

@allaun: it wasn't an end all statement. I'll rephrase it for you.

They both run the same operating systems with minimal to extra effort.

better?

@oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: Um? They ALL run windows? REALLY? So, running linux, bsd, unix, *insert other os* doesn't happen?

allaun

@GlenTen: Macs are defined mainly by that chemical odor that comes from the box, which is said to be the smell of Chinese disinfectants, but legend goes that Steve Jobs' pheromones are extracted and put into a diluted mix, which is then sprayed into every box upon packaging.

Macintosh apples are ok, but I'm more of Fuji/Gala man myself. Winesaps? Well last batch I got was mealy, and I've had some problems finding crispy ones at the Farmers' Market.

Honeysaps forever bitches.

@GlenTen: for one Macs use EFI while the vast majority of PCs use BIOS.

hfutrell

@ReconToaster.: yeah man, Personal Computers, are personal computers. Apple makes as do several other companies. And they all run windows. Only one runs OS X. (officially)

@GlenTen: How about this?

Mac: computer designed and built by apple, once based on PowerPC architecture and now based on Intel architecture on a limited hardware range. Does not utilize BIOS to load any OS into memory during boot

PC: Personal computer, either built by an OEM which is not apple or by the user himself. Has always run on Intel architecture and will continue to do so. Uses BIOS microcode to load an OS into memory during boot

jlarroulet

@ReconToaster.: I like that idea. It would make me a legitimate woman, for one.

Apple makes PC's this contest is flawed.

Is that a Dell? That's the best they could come up with for PC?? Dell's are crap! They should have used a Sony Vaio, or something that looks sexy, not some boxy shit from Dell.

Kev50027

@Invisible-Echidna: Oh, did Tom buy the Neverland Ranch?

lowtolerance

@Kaiser-Machead: FOR THE SPARTANS!!!

@aec007: :P, how about linux?

xnt1337

That should be in the default Chess app for OS X 10.8 Housecat.

KTK1990

@aec007: OS X is also UNIX :)

K_dawg

@GlenTen: The answer is:

Macs are PCs with a bitten apple for a logo.

PCs are anything personal that computes.

Both are used primarily to surf porn on the internet.

@jlarroulet: Possible additions:

Mac: once based on the Motorola 68000, then the PowerPC....

PC: a name originally applied by IBM to it's personal computers, which was later commonly applied to IBM "clones" and workalikes....

taodude

@Kaiser-Machead: You don't wanna smell too much, though.

(Starman) AnalysisDialysis

Well we know Deep Blue runs Unix.
So both PC and Macs are toast....

:P

aec007

@Kaiser-Machead: No, winesaps have too thick skin for me, though I do like Macintosh Apples

@appletoadBut Pinball is XP's game

TheMightyTexMex

why is it played on apples logo, are they the home team?

no_dice

@GlenTen: A miserable little pile of secrets!

TuesdayThe5th

@lowtolerance: No, just reclaiming his property which he sold to MJ

@GlenTen: Too bad Macs can't run wmv out of the box.

@oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: But its Mac vs PC...

Not to mention that Macs carry all the innards of a decent PC for double the price.

Well any sensible person knows that Zunes are better than iPods, anyone who denies this is just a mactard. As far as computers go, Apple on the whole has that whole, pompous dick factor going on where the PC has that whole, Everyone uses me factor. Microsoft doesn't REALLY make hardware for computers (a few exceptions) and Apple takes PC parts and calls it superior build quality.

All of that aside...

PC represents Democratic Revolution
Mac represents Dictator takeover

So I would say PC wins chess match.

@KTK1990: I heard it was 10.8 Garfield

PC VS MAC Chess tourney:

PC side wins 90% of the time, but the Mac side will get 90% of the media exposure from the chess tournament.

Linux will sit on the sidelines, smoking a bong muttering about how the proletariat will rise up and make all Chess open source.

SaeedaAcarnan

@SaeedaAcarnan: I always imagined Linux as the nerd sitting behind everyone else trying to look cool playing 3D chess by himself. It takes forever to learn, but you look so cool while you're doing it.

Woden501

@xnt1337: Linux isn't really UNIX. It's the aspartame OS compared to UNIX's pure sugar goodness. Plus only dweebs use Linux, duh ;-)

K_dawg

@Everything I love is 2nd best: When you have to refer to people who disagree with you as "mactards" you have pretty much demonstrated that you are the real tard.

The rest of your post is just hilariously inaccurate, but then this is the internet there's no point arguing with you anyway.

K_dawg

@Everything I love is 2nd best: I didn't need .wmv support until months after I got my last mac.

@Sabbatai: I think it sucks that MS fanboys can say "mactard" and it sounds like an almost legit insult, yet PCtard doesn't work.

@K_dawg: Yeah, I almost chimed in with the fact that I own both Apple and PC products, have built PCs for a living and love using both for different reasons yet still like the iPOD more than the zune... then I decided not to.

Then I did it anyway.

Sabbatai

@GlenTen:
That's easy:

PC = Function over form
Mac = Form over function

Purple Dave

@K_dawg: You're just an Applefanboy who is jealous of PC's bluescreens and the oh-so-awesome zune, admit it.
I wish my mac could have those BSODs, unfortunately, it doesn't, it just works. Too bad.
