Dont worry your little heart. Engadget is still firmly committed to Apple as always.

One story sneaking through every few months doesn't balance out the daily bias that you come to know and deny exists.

When the Pre and Win7 are released they wont let you down.]]>May 20th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/

If you think Engadget is SO fucking biased, fuck off, nobody is going to miss you. Don't worry!

Learn that Apple isn't all the technology in the world, and this is a gadgetry blog, although you may appreciate them, they do have plenty of flaws you seem to overlook quite eagerly.

@Paul I am seriously considering getting a macbook for my next laptop but you were not the one to convince me. I am not (potentially) getting a macbook because of "fanboy" attitudes, I am getting one IN SPITE of the 'fanboy' mentality. I have seen you make logical (convincing) statements in the past, let's just be intellectually honest with our selves in the future. Okay? ;)]]>May 20th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/
Engadget doesn't have an Apple bias, Engadget has a click bias. If you mention Apple, the Apple Haters will come and will bring wine... I mean, whine. I'm actually grateful to people like Look_Around_You (seriously, that is a really dumb name) because they guarantee that Apple news will be posted, no matter how trivial.

So here's to the crazy Apple Haters.

The conformists.

The monopolists.

The square pegs in the square holes.


You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,

disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

But they keep Apple in the news.

Thank you.

Well, thank you for your kind words, but I must remind people here, that I AM A FREAKING PC USER and have been for years. I have a MacBook Pro okay, and... yeah, I bought a new iMac the other day, but that's all. That's the only Apple products I have. I have three ancient PCs that I still use... okay, I don't really use them. But I'm a big fan of XP. Or I was.

Anyway, I'm not at all biased, but I know a good thing when I use it, and I have to say, after years of PCs, my Macs are the best purchases I've ever made.

Paul, haven't you noticed that everyone already hates you from the FUD you were spreading during the release if Windows 7? That your posts are being buried even when they don't say anything stupid?

Look_Around, if you hate the "Apple bias" on this site, the thing you should do is never click on an Apple post again. Because by clicking and commenting and inciting discussion, you are causing page views and driving traffic to the very thing you hate.

Zak, you are probably the longest running Apple fanboy I've ever seen on this site. I've never once seen you post anything even remotely close to negative about Apple...and come to think about it, I can't remember the last of your comments I've seen outside of an Apple article.

All of your opinions suck, and you should all be ashamed for being so stupid.]]>May 20th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/
After that, there wasn't anything left to do on my PC that I couldn't do on my Mac and my Mac doesn't look like a plastic piece of junk with a loud fan and ugly Wintel stickers. So I've been completely Mac for several months now.

Dude, really, I could care less. You think I come here and speak the truth because I want to win a popularity contest? Oh no, I got low ranked by a few MS fanboys who I will never meet and wouldn't want to meet, even if I had the chance. I'm so crushed.

/s

And by the way, I guarantee you that low ranked posts get read more than ordinary posts, because people want to know why the guy got low ranked, so it's really stupid way to deter people from posting. In fact, I ALWAYS read the low ranked comments before anything else. High ranked comments are always pretty boring, because they tow the party line, whether it's Apple or Microsoft or Dell or Sony.

"Wha? Who the hell is even talking about you to begin with?"

Your first post was signed /apple fanboy, a standard straw man generalization used by people who aren't smart enough to come up with actual arguments. You regard me as an Apple fanboy, yes? Then by this point it should be pretty clear that you were talking about me. Right? Because I'm the typical Apple fanboy you're referring to?

Unless, of course, you would like to tell me that I'm not an Apple fanboy. I would love to see you say that.

"You really aren't making a lick of sense. Are you saying that you are an actually one of those nutcase Apple fanboys? And are you seriously saying with a straight face that I actually pretend that PC and Windows are problem free?"

Hahaha. You really are slow, aren't you? YOU are saying I'm one of those nutcase Apple fanboys, because that's what you have called me in the past, and how you respond to my posts. Again, please prove me wrong by saying I'm not an Apple fanboy. No really, go for it.

The PCs and Windows being problem free thing was a response to your accusation that Apple fanboys never admit to problems with Apple hardware or software. In simpler terms, I'm using your "logic" to show you how stupid your post was. You're an Apple hater, therefore you are a Microsoft apologist who believes that Windows and PCs don't have problems. Does that argument look familiar? It should, since that's the one you're using to label Apple fanboys.

The fact that I have to explain this to you is pretty telling. You're about as sharp as a flat tire. Maybe you should stick to simpler stupid comments like ME NO LIKE MAC, ME SMASH.]]>May 20th 2009 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/unibody-macbook-pro-catch-a-fire-owner-want-no-more-trouble/

I'm going to address Zak first: After clicking through a few pages of your history and seeing that you have posted ONLY on pages that have to do with Apple, with you continuously defending everything Apple and mocking/ deriding others about their opinion against Apple (even if it is justified with evidence), I believe that I can reasonably conclude that you are indeed an Apple fanboy. And straw man arguments? You should know all about them. You pick apart people's statements and then take them out of context so that you can use them to make the original poster seem stupid.

Also, paranoia ("Your first post was signed /apple fanboy, a standard straw man generalization used by people who aren't smart enough to come up with actual arguments. You regard me as an Apple fanboy, yes? Then by this point it should be pretty clear that you were talking about me. Right? Because I'm the typical Apple fanboy you're referring to?") can be treated by a medical professional. When someone posts something on the internet, it shouldn't be taken as a personal offense. Maybe the guy was trying to make a joke. (Why so serious?, Teh interwebs are serious business, and whatnot)

I bet the problem is that logic is too hard for you. People who are logical very rarely have to resort to insults and condescension, as their logic usually speaks for itself. What you're doing is like wiggling out of a checkmate by shouting "your mom" insults. You can't.

The problem is that you simply do not get the fact that people are allowed to have OPINIONS! And guess what? You aren't allowed to tell them that their opinions are wrong! That's like someone saying "I like cheese," and you coming along and saying, "You're stupid for liking cheese and you are no longer allowed to like it any more!"

"Unless, of course, you would like to tell me that I'm not an Apple fanboy. I would love to see you say that."
Did you just admit that you WERE indeed an Apple fanboy? Excellent. Moving on.

@everyone else who is getting low ranked
Everyone speaks in absolutes. There are shades of gray to every situation. Surprise!

Acknowledge the fact that nobody is perfect. Allow for some healthy debate that doesn't turn into hurtful tirades like some of Zak and Paul's earlier postings. AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHEN YOU'VE STATED YOUR OPINION, DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO POST IT IN EVERY ARTICLE!

Oh, and Look_Around_You, take a less argumentative stand and you may get more up-votes. (That goes for the other two, but mostly you, as they have more serious issues to work out)

Thank you.
