SKIRMISHER

So-called hacker David Maynor’s soon-to-become-immortal words, “”…If you watch those ‘Get a Mac’ commercials enough, it eventually makes you want to stab one of those users in the eye with a lit cigarette or something” pepper a comment thread on Techdirt that strangely make you feel they’re hilariously taking on some sort of a There Are Motherfucking Snakes on the Motherfucking Plane life of their own.

It didn’t matter that the Macbook version Maynor and fellow hacker Jon Ellch supposedly hacked was later found to be modified, “hackable” versions cooked up specifically for the duo’s hyped “How to hack a Mac in 60 seconds” circus some weeks ago. What boiled up was the decades old, operating system divide between “complacent” Windows users and “smug” Mac users.

“Frankly, I don’t like all the round corners and “breathing” lights, the flashy graphics and that half eaten apple should be mighty rotten by now,” says one Windows user.

“”All the windows idiots should keep their great market share, poor quality OS and overbloated software, viruses and hackers galore — all to themselves. Stay the fuck out of the mac world morons. When want to run some game or win-only app, I’ll virtualize or boot camp it. You can have fun with the rest of the garbage all to yourselves,” says a fellow from the other side.

It’s fun to watch both camps express their deep affection for one another like Arabs would with Jews. But sometimes, you feel like stabbing all of ‘em in the eye with a lit cigarette or something.
