reminder that macs are toys and you are literally of lesser intelligence if you use one. microsoft windows is the standard and everyone should use the standard. windows can do everything ergo there is no need for anything else. all competitors should be banned.

yes, as we all know, windows 8, windows 8.1, and windows 8.1 update 1 all set the bar for good operating systems.

uhh its called keynote and numbers

have you ever tried to use numbers for anything of merit? poo poo is garbage, i loving hate Excel but unless you are doing really simple graphs you can't use numbers. Last time I used Numbers it didn't even have the ability to do regression analysis or maybe it did but it was so hidden it was awful.

Keynote is O K though but being better than powerpoint is not that big of an achievement

Keynote tears the stuffing out of windows and I only recently came to this realisation.

PowerPoint has been relatively static, focusing on a rather tedious view of presentations with poor design and distinctly monotonous feel.

Keynote is more dynamic, and this makes it much better if you want to give an engaging presentation.


It's a comparison between say, a Microsoft keynote and an Apple keynote.

for all the bad things about it matlab is one of the only pieces of engineering software we support that gives us relatively no problems outside of it costing a shitload of money since we license every toolbox under the sun

It's also one of the only pieces of engineering software we support that has a mac version but huh, most of our Mac users that need it end up just bootcamping to windows and running it there go fig

or they just run it off a linux cluster, w/e

everything else is p much windows/linux only
