    I would not try and defend an opinion that could possibly be vaild by calling 7000 hardware hackers and coding gods "fags". Please, use logic. OSX is FreeBSD with a fantastic interface, and a beautiful design. It also suports many of the programs that even the best of my fellow linux lovers must dual boot to use. OSX is a joy to use and is useable for work, pleasure, and everything in between. I dont want to come off as one of the feared "Mac Zelots," as I happen to love *nix as well, but I absolutly love my Powerbook. I have never used a finer computer.

    As for OSX being for "fake" geeks, why dont you tell that to Tim O'Reilly, Paul Graham, or Trevor Blackwell. Despite how much you may hate Macs, many swear by them.

    By the way, not only Mac users are "teh ghey." Just look in the freaking mirror.

    Well, the story is not a comparison of Dell vs. Apple recall rates.

    And for a meta-question, why is feeding a troll worth more mod points that trolling?

    Don't encourage me.

    I would give most anything for a working media player for OS X that plays oggs, flacs, and maybe shns.

    Just install the QuckTime OGG and FLAC components and iTunes will be able to play them fine.

    Good Luck!
