Why is it that everyone rich, intelligent, succesful, and/or a huge contributor to computer technology uses a Mac?

I thought Sup Forums said they were just for homos and hipsters

but bill gates doesnt use a mac
he is rich intelligent succesful and a huge contributor to computer science unlike that old bowtie dude in your picture

>fake science guy from TV

>bill gates is a huge contribute to computer science

You must be 18 or over to browse this board. Fuck off you 12 year old cuntwipe.

yeah he contributed an OS that was known for being shitty before but is now both shitty and a NSA spying machine

he contributed more than science guy

he also contributed more than social botnet guy

Sup Forums posts on Sup Forums all day, why would you listen a fucking, worthless, loser like that?

>contributed more than social botnet guy

contributed to saving niggers from aids and malaria. now there'll be more niggers around to use up this precious green earths limited resources. can you seriously say he's done ANY good?

tell me why you deserve to exist more than them niggers

Why are so many successful people into scientology?

It's different if your own business buys one to write off, or your employer.
Idiot kids in college 101 classes that spend 1-2k on a laptop, idiots.

You get your information from the media, which is filled with homos and shills. Ask around your office and see what actual thoughtful technologists use, and you'll see tech that is tuned for specific use cases rather than expensive generic brands.

I for example rock a big heavy Gigabyte machine with 16GB of RAM, a low quality 1080p display and a terrabyte of SSD. It's Gigabyte so I can play vidya while away from home, it's got 16GB of RAM because I need space for VMs, it's heavy with a shit quality screen because I optimized for speed and cooling, it's got a terrabyte of SSD because when I bought it I was doing IO-intensive work on hundreds of gigs of data.

My next machine will probably be a 17 inch Dell Precision because I don't care much about battery life and a monster machine with a Xeon processor gets me wet.

>he contributed more than science guy
He also arguably attempted to completely hamstring it.

Because their time is valuable.

the reason that only matters, i'm not a fucking nigger.

>they can afford it, so why not?
>sponsorship deals
>following trends of others
>they like Macbooks

he was just doing whatever capitalism requires to be successful

why does that reason matter?

Like clothing brands, Apple actively pursues people in the limelight to shill their products in return for free shit and payments.

>Bill Nye Le Meme Science guy
I want reddit to leave.

Because Mac is a normie system. With Apple products they block you in, restrict features and generally is a handheld experience.

That's why normies, who can afford it, go for Mac. Be it hipster collegettes or even this closeted and nostalgia entitled homo.

You can be successful and smart, yet still no fucking nothing about OS.

Wangblows/OSX user here, never touched OSX till I got into music production, software aside, a lot of guys will say "I just want something that doesn't get in my way like windows does" when asked. When probed further, UAC, legacy driver problems and latency issues are cited. A lot of them aren't "IT geeks" like I was before I entered the industry, meaning they have no time or knowledge to diagnose shit.

Another big one is the hardware standardisation. You can take your DAW to any other equivalent OSX machine and expect the same results. The wide variety of different hardware available for wintel means that a project that renders and runs flawlessly on one machine may not do so on a second, which is a bitch if you find yourself in a foreign studio that uses different hardware to your machine. A Dell Xeon and a HP Xeon may be similar, but mainboard and add on hardware will be vastly different.

I imagine all this would be true of most specialist users, be it scientists, engineers or developers. They have enough bugs in their own industry specific platforms to work out without the OS adding to the cacophony.

I have no strong preference between them but prefer wangblows on my personal machines because momentum. I like being able to chop around my hardware, and I don't see a need to move to OSX.

Why are the most powerful all jews?

Either you've never used OSX or you don't know enough about UNIX to actually use it. Are you one of those kids who thinks clicking on random shit in Windows Control Panel makes you a computer expert?
