Why is there so much hate towards Macs?And no i'm not stupid.I'm actually very intelligent.And while i may not know everything about computers i know how to work one.I've never seen a PC owner who has said that they've never had a virus.End of story.And regarding the post about getting 200FPS CS:S.Can't the human eye only see up to like a 100FPS?What's the point of having more?

There are plenty of PC users out there that have never had a virus. I would be one of those people. How do I accomplish this? Don't go to porn sites or click on random ads. Also, the human sees somewhere around 40-60 fps I think. That being said, it is very easy to understand the point in having more fps than the human eye can see. Here is an example. Jimmy's rig gets 200fps on Crysis 2, making Jimmy very happy. Jimmy then tries to play BF3 and gets 60fps. Jimmy is still happy. His computer can run the most demanding games at 60 fps, which means he will get more than 60 fps on less intense games. Now, if Jimmy had only gotten 60 fps on Crysis 2 that would mean BF3 would have considerably lesser frame rates and Jimmy would be sad.
Actually.I' m only 13.I didn't go to any porn sites or torrents.And i'm smart enough enough not to click on ads.
Obviously you aren't careful enough if you still get viruses on Windows. All of the virus protection software I use is free, so there is really no reason to have viruses on your computer.

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.
Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, Adblock Plus, Noscript, and Common Sense 2012. There you go, no more viruses. I can't comprehend why you find it so hard to believe that computers running Windows are capable of not getting viruses. Those who get viruses are generally people who view porn, download cracks/torrents, or are just your run of the mill uninformed internet browser that clicks on ads because they look helpful or nice.

I'm a pc owner and I can gladly say I've never gotten a virus. The are certain Internet rules you have that can help you avoid them. For example, never click anything on popups, just open teak manager and shut down Internet explored, and I never click on ads. Ever.

May I ask whats the difference between Adblock for Chrome and Adblock Plus for Chrome?

You are hilariously ignorant.
TONS of PC owners never have malware. TONS. It's not difficult at all if you have internet smarts, hell, I could run without an adblocker, firewall or antivirus and still be safe.
I would love to see some links to something thats faster then a Mac.Because i had a windows computer for years and never once liked it.Slow as crap.Constant error messages.
The New PC in my sig was only $600 and is better than any mac for a similar, or even twice the price. It is faster at pretty much everything.
If you had a windows PC and it was slow, you were the problem. User error. The only reason a computer gets slow is because it is either not taken care of or the end user (that would be you) installed a bunch of crap like an idiot.
If you had constant error messages as well this only enforces that you do not know how to take care of a computer, so, no, you are not very intelligent, quite obviously, and do not know your way around a computer, again, quite obviously.
Also I am going to blow your mind. Ready for this? The internal computer components of Macs are the exact same as PCs. I'm not just talking about the same parts (CPU/RAM/etc.) I'm talking the same manufacturers and same companies. There is literally nothing different except the locked OS and the crappy case.

Technically they're actually worse since they just buy a couple million units from Foxconn or other terribad companies.

This is really only true for the mobos.
The CPUs are Intel/(sometimes AMD), the RAM is Patriot, PNY or EliteGroup, the disk drive is usually Hitachi, Samsung or LG (sometimes sony) the mobo is almost always Foxconn, the power supplies are made by Foxconn (sometimes OEM or Seasonic but rarely), the monitors/displays are made by Samsung, and the GPUs are made by Nvidia/AMD. The hard drives are almost always Hitachi-made Apple drives, but once in a while they will throw a Seagate or WD in the mix.
Also, their mobos aren't even 100% restricted to Macs. Foxconn mobos can be bought on Newegg, similar models with similar specs and performance, the layout is just changed from proprietary Mac/Apple to normal ATX/mATX.

I know Foxconn sells motherboards, but they follow the same quality trend, atleast I've never had anyone recommend one. The only thing I find really quality about Macs is the monitors, but they're sooooooooooo expensive. Feature locked to only run with a Mac too, which is the cute part.

Apple/Mac monitors are Samsung screens/components, even the high resolution high quality ones can be found cheap. But most of them are the basic ~$180-220 LCDs or LEDs.
As for their mobos, they seem to have an abhorrently high failure rate, Foxconn does not seem to respond to RMAs/warranties, and I have yet to hear of one lasting more than 2 years.
Also there are many ways around the "mac-lock" they have on some monitors.

I'm aware, they're just well made is all I meant, but the price is obscene and as you said, you can get a non-mac monitor for a much more competitive price.

I have a 5450, and I can run Portal 2 with 60 FPS.
So try again.

Like I said, garbage. Or TNT if you prefer.
It's more the fact they have to LOCK their monitors that says something about how overpriced they are.
Elitist is more like it.
IE: their commercials:
"If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have an iPhone"
"If you don't have a Mac, you don't have a Mac"
