Things I ****ing hate about my Mac
-The razor sharp aluminum edge at the bottom of the palmrest. Whoever designed this POS needs to be dragged out behind Apple headquarters and shot. I have a permanent line on my hand from where the edge has dug into my hand while I'm using the trackpad.
-Laziness. I can't tell you how many times my Mac has simply given up if it feels I'm running too many things at once.
-Cooling fan. You need to turn the damn thing on to watch a 1 minute Youtube video? Seriously?
-OS X itself. I'm in the dairy industry. Most dairy farmers run Windows. Having to partition my hard drive and use Boot Camp wasn't such a big deal, having to swap back and forth between OS's on the other hand is a huge PITA, especially when sometimes it flat out refuses to boot into Windows.
-Everyone and their mother has one. My last Dell was an XPS M1530. Barely anyone else had one, and it was easy to figure out whose computer was whose when you were with a group of people. Not so easy with this stupid Mac.

And finally, getting weird looks when I say I truly hate my Mac.
I am not going to lie now just because you said that about the sharp edge i am thinking about and figuring out how true it is. As i am typing this on my Mac also. I never seemed to notice it before

In terms of problems per computer, the iMac problems are I'd say 500% higher.

I'm sure people like Macs from a user perspective, but from an admin perspective (and trying to get them to behave on a PC network) they're a nightmare.

I'm definitely a PC guy, but I'm not an Apple hater. I've had an iPhone for the last 4 years, but I'm ditching it soon for an Android device.
I don't hate my iPhone (well, sometimes I do when it doesn't work) but just about everything else out there has passed it up in terms of technology and features.
Heck, if you look at the rumored specs of the iPhone 6 due in 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S3 released in 2012 already beats it.

All that being said, I love when people with Macs start hating them.
Agreed Macs are definitely not meant for a large scale. PC will do that 100 times better. If i am talking which computer i rather own in my home for now its my Mac.

And i actually recently switched to a iPhone from an Android phone. I had a HTC Inspire 4G from ATT. It down right sucked (please save yourself the time and don't buy a HTC Android they have a nice build quality but their software just ruins it). I eventually got mad at it and rooted it to get rid of all the preloaded crap and it became better but wasn't to reliable (You really had to know what you were doing and had to have the back up zip just in case on the memory card). When it came time for my upgrade i went iPhone because of my iPad. If i didn't have the iPad i probably would either have gotten the Note 2 (its a little bit to big) or the New LG Optimus G. Those two phones right there will surpass any phone on the market and some computers from 2 years ago. That is innovation at its finest

Yeah I like HTC's phones, but I've heard a lot of what you just said about them.
I'm either gonna get the Samsung Galaxy S3, or possibly wait for the S4 that should come out in a couple months.

S3 is a great a phone. We have 3 in my house and got each for 40 bucks new from Walmart wireless. They have the worst customer service in the world but you can not beat 40 bucks for such a great phone. It is rumored though that a S4 should be out in sometime before Q2. I guess time will tell.
