Story and a Mini-rant

For this week’s blog, I will be using the story I wrote in class.
Audience : everyone
Setting : A kids bedroom with the window open
Character : A kid practicing a magic trick
Detail : An iPad

It was a sunny day. The bright light streamed through the open window of Matt’s bedroom. Matt was a strange child. He spends most of his time sitting quietly in his room alone practicing magic. His parents were strongly against this practice as they were extremely religious. One might go as far as to say his parents were fanatics. With this in mind, Matt needed to practice his magic tricks in secret to avoid the scorn of his psychotic parents. His latest trick involved the use of a rabbit, chainsaw and an iPad. Not many people would understand how this could possibly be a magic trick, but sure enough Matt made it into one. The trick had no real end goal to the untrained observer.

This goes to show the potential Matt held in the practice of magic. Matt turned the chainsaw on with a yank of the cord. As the chainsaw came to life, the rabbit wet itself and the iPad vibrated in fear of what was going to happen. There was an explosion. Apparently Apple is a horrible company owned by terrorists who had planted bombs in every iPad in order to remove all the retarded people from Earth’s population.

Now I will include a mini rant directed towards Apple. Simple question: why do people buy from such a horrible company? Are you really all sheeple with no room for independent thought and no skill to use an actual computer? Do you need something obviously designed for people with a below average IQ? I’ve never liked Apple. To me, their products are all flash with no real benefits. The mac fanboys will claim how they’re superior to PC based products, but they can never provide an actual argument as to why. Ok, here’s a little background. Back when Apple used Motorola chips, there were some benchmarking results that showed a SLIGHT, and I really mean slight, advantage to the Motorola chip over intel based computers in the area of audio/video performance. This was then used to push their disgusting products even though in 2005 they switched to intel chips and the only difference between a Mac and a PC is the operating system and the overly flashly design of mac.

I cannot stand using a mac. Maybe it’s me and I like to actually use my computer, but there are no benefits to mac. They’re expensive, flashy, limited upgrade possibilities and the setups offered are never the latest and greatest. They may be marketed as such, but the fact remains that if you buy a mac, you will be stuck with lesser technology.
