Title: Apple please...give me money
Post by: Destore117 on October 10, 2013, 10:06:40 PM
I wish Apple had a sort of bank style system where you could put excess iTunes cash in and have it gain interest so that you could get more iTunes cash.

That implies that iTunes money is worth anything to begin with.

You had better believe they make interest on that money. I also highly doubt they would be likely to share their bonus profits with the client.

Even better, don't long for more money. You'll be happier

For them to offer that they would have to fulfill all sorts of financial industry regulations, which costs a lot of time and money. Too much regulations in Europe caused Apple to stop offering their current Mac Pro line there, if you don't believe me check the EU directive on computer fans :p

It has a limited number of games though, and realistically you won't get a virus on Windows unless you are surfing the deep web or just being dumb in general.

I still disagree, sorry!! My friend has had windows for 6ish years and gets a new virus every month and he only plays TF2 and minecraft. Sooo yeah, it does have limited games but it still has what I want- sims, TF2, minecraft, Kerbal Space Program, etc. I'd say they're about even.

Your friend is a complete idiot then. Chances are he isn't getting a new virus, he just keeps reinstalling the same one over and over.

As long as you get an antivirus (and a lot of them are free, including the one I am using) and don't go on bad sites, you probably won't get a virus. Even if you do get a virus, 99% of the time its as easy as letting you laptop fix itself or restoring to a backup. I love Windows and Droid and I think they are superior to Apple.

I've been using PCs since like 1995, I've never had a virus once. The only thing I like about Macs (which I do not own) is the lack of hardware crashes, and thing thing just works...like it's supposed to. Out of the box it just does what you tell it.

What I don't like about Macs is that you can't really get close to the kernel and fix any problems, you've basically got to get a new one. That being said, if I ever win the lottery (which I do not play) id buy one.

You cannot do anything on Macs. Hardware problems? Send it in. Software problems? Send it in. Got a virus? What in god's name were you doing that you managed for find a virus for Mac.

I use my Mac for video editing work

If I was still a pc gamer I would probably have a pc, but work precedes play

Porno also gets Mac virii or malware.

I've fixed enough computers for people to know this.


Also if you haven't found a friendly download site, ask friends

Didn't think this would cause a huge conversation xD
Just was saying
Having 49 cents on my iTunes account is frustrating. All I want is a few purchases from this app ;) and monster hunter dynamic ^-^

Which specifically?

I call a lie on this one, I manage to do a lot of things on my mac, including development of this website and app ;)

If I have hardware problems with any hardware I'm not familiar with how to fix, I send it in, although that doesn't happen too often as there are plenty of DIY guides on fixit.com and I fix my macs myself. As for the software, I never had to send any computer in, PC or Mac, but that's just a question of software knowledge I posess, and arguably Mac OS X is more difficult to break and easier to fix than Windows or Linux.
