Make Your PC Run Like a Mac in Five Steps

Pc vs. Mac

Seeing all those super-cool kids on campus with their 17-inch MacBook Pros really gets on your nerves, right? Who do they think they are, using superior technology while you run Adware every half-hour on the Dell your mom bought you for college?

All hope is not lost, PC patron: in a few easy steps you – yes, you! – can make your PC run like a Mac.

CNet recently published an article titled “Mock OS X: Five ways to make your PC more like a Mac” – and it goes in much farther depth than merely slapping an Apple sticker on your PC. Using free downloads (and in some cases, paid upgrades) you can prettify your PC to act more Mac-like with the use of a camouflaged taskbar, Widget application layers and Apple-emulating skins.

In no time you’ll be able to act as smug as any Mac-loving, eco-friendly San-Franciscan!

If any of this nonsense makes sense to you are either a Mac owner/fanboy or a die-hard Mac hater who knows thy enemy all too well (or you’re computer literate and deserve a pat on the back).

Isn’t this whole concept a bit like putting a BMW body kit on a corolla?

What sucks is that, with a PC – anyone can really take it apart and reconfigure components. With a mac, you are stuck going to one of those faggy mac stores, or waiting for some douche at the “Genius Bar.”

My PC already runs better than a Mac. It’s called Windows.

Or you could just go the best route and install linux which is better than both mac’s and a windows pc.

For those of you who still live in 1989;

1. Macs are easy to configure unless you’re retarded. You shouldn’t have any trouble installing RAM, putting in a new hard drive, putting in an expansion card, or anything like that on your own unless you don’t know how to use a computer. You don’t need to see a “Genius” unless you don’t know how to do something or you’re doing something risky. You’re not going to have any problems unless you want to put in a new motherboard or something, and the more savvy people have actually done all kinds of wild things to their macs using l33t Hax0r skillz (i.e. voiding their warranties).

2. Macs are (and have been since the nineties) fully compatible with left-clicking and all those other buttons and wheels that a computer’s mouse now has. Even that mouse on the newer Macs in your school’s computer lab (the one with the funny looking “scroll ball”), which LOOKS like it only has one button is secretly hiding four buttons, and that funny looking ball actually lets you scroll left, right, and in some cases, in every direction.

3. Everyone knows Windows sucks, except for n00bs.

4. Now that Macs are all running UNIX, you don’t NEED LINUX unless you just want it for it’s open-source abilities and you don’t like to have software. Also, I find it highly amusing that a LINUX nerd calls Mac Users faggy. Dork.
