I generally cannot go a week with hearing a Mac Vs Pc arguement. Its gone beyond a joke now, I really cannot take another lecture from certain un-named persons on how there mac/pc is better than the other, it is madness. I'm on neither side as i both think they have there faults and benefits, I sit on the technological fence as it were.
I think Mac are too blame for they're fancy design and ability to create great performance from programs such as photoshop and flash (come to think of it, any adobe software works well on a mac). However PC are too blame as well with easy to use interface systems and creating software for the little man such as solitare and minesweeper (for dull office days like today).
So i come to my point that the problem lies in the consumer. We as the "general" public are very diverse indeed always needing/wanting completely different things to the next person. So this is why we get this tension building up between those who own Macs and those who own Pc's, In a way this is what happens when irresistible force meets a immoveable object.
By this i mean Microsoft doesn't have much to worry about as most corporate company systems are run primarily on Windows as well as selling to the general consumer, so they'll never run out of business as long as Mac doesn't create a system that runs 10x faster than the current windows software, which will never happen (Not in my lifetime I hope, otherwise there will be madness). The Company known as Apple will never have to worry about competition from Microsoft as they currently sell two of the most popular products on the technology market, the Ipod and the Iphone, plus they sell Apple Macs to specialist buyers and the general consumer, so the equilibrium is maintained (thank god). This picture below I think sums up this general idea.

Just before i go..I'd like to talk about good Ol' Liam Gallagher at the Brit Awards. (you can tell this blog is slightly late) Bless him being the true knobhead rockstar that everybody already knows he is, chucking his mic and award into the crowd (Best Album For 30 years : (Whats the Story) Morning Glory?). Then the next day, having a go at Brit Presenter Peter Kay, for calling him a knobhead behind his back. HE WAS ON THE SAME FECKING STAGE AS YOU. I think his twitter post could be somewhat ironic
From Liam Gallaghers Twitter Page
"Listen up fat fuck as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say shit 2 people's faces not behind their back. Live forever LG"
This isn't the first time either, R' Liam has been causing trouble at the Brits in previous years
In 2000, Robbie Williams challenged him to a fight after enduring months of insults from the Oasis frontman.
And in 1996, he accepted an award on stage from Michael Hutchence, only to humiliate the INXS singer by demanding: "Why is a has-been presenting to the gonnabes?"
(Extract from the Guardian)
Subsequently A Facebook group in support of Peter Kay over the matter attracted over 170,000 members
So Liam if your listening I know you love your fans and I like your music but...

Calm the Fuck down.
