Comment Apple idiot (Score 1) 1502
So I was in my econ stats class today and we are in a computer lab because we mostly use excel. Well before class I was reading slashdot, and saw this article. I showed the girl next to me because she is mac fan.
"Finally, they decided to change their "standard" mouse with more than one freaking button"
And she replies, "I hate how apple is trying to be more like PCs, it makes me sick."
"It's just a mouse, I'm sorry but their old design was horrible, it didn't even fit in your hand, and just one click, and no scrolling of any sorts. I mean don't you use the scroll wheel on the pc?"
I then began scrolling the mouse wheel up and down on the website that was on my screen. (We are using PC's in the lab)
She replies, "No I never use it, I just hit the down arrow on the keyboard, or click and drag the scroll bar on the side of the window."
Okay you'll do what you like, and I have no problem with that. But here is the real kicker.
"I only use the scroll wheel if I need to do something fast.......
Isn't the whole POINT?! Scrolling with a mouse is simply quicker, more efficient, and more functional.
She also went on to say "I hate what apple is doing, trying to be like PC's, now apple computers are going to have tons of viruses."
Doesn't security have much to do with the operating system? I really don't think mac osx is going to have viruses just be adding more buttons to a mouse.
First off, I am not really a apple/mac user, but I do enjoy the company, and wouldn't mind owning a powerbook if I had the money.
Second, for what I do, I like a WINDOWS PC.
Finally, don't flame me for being anti-apple, I am not. I am anti-mac fanboys/girls because they are such idiots sometimes.
