First of all I would like to appoligize for my bad English.

There is nowhere where this thread really belongs or gets enough attention so I'll just post it here. Srry for that. Let's see how long it last hehe as it's not really in favour of the anti Apple people.
Many people (me included) love this site for what it brings when it comes to hardware benchmarks and certain other reviews.
This opinion has changed for me in the past year as Tomshardware is constantly bashing Apple all the way while I don't see any reason why. There are postive things as well?
Like Vista is great all the way? Don't make me laugh, ever asked yourself why you never hear anything about this anymore? I wonder why, $$$? If this money story is true than how reliable are reviews on this site afterall if money is involved?
Don't start please, I don't even know for sure if this is the case but I just find the way Tomshardware is posting too much anti Apple news bad (non professional) enough allready. They don't provide an oppertunity for people who own MACS to discuss this on their Forum as they are the ones who can provide the real facts am I wrong? In my eyes this is so lame and weak. There are no words for it.
I don't own an Apple machine but still I know people who do. I've been learning to know how Apple machines work and they really are far from negative. Sure their are negative points too. But you never hear the positive side of the story on this site.
On of those is that you won't have any problems with virusses, spyware, trojans and stuff like that cause everything installed on the OS needs a password authorisation. Only when you install bad warez appz etc but that's your own mistake. Personally I think this is a great security feature that you don't hear people from Tomshardware talk about.
I really don't know why this site is so negative all the way for Apple people. Am I now an Apple fanboy too for talking like this?
I own XP and I'm having a great time with this OS so I don't understand why I should be a fanboy for the people who assume I am?

What I really want on this site is a MAC OSX forum...if it does not come here Tomshardware should not even start posting negative stuff about MAC OSX while they own a Linux forum section that is family of MAC OSX.

For the people who want to start telling that MAC OSX doesn't support gaming well guess what...this is about to change. In the past Apple told fake stories making false promises that I really think were lame but near future games like for example games running on the new ID Software (the lead founder of new technoligy in games like for example lightning) ID tech 5 engine's game called Rage. Be fair...does this game look ugly to you when you visit preview sites? It's not having lag problems or what so ever.

ps: If this anti Apple stuff is proceeding in this negative way not even allowing MAC owners to discuss the problems and finding solutions for it I'm leaving this site which was my n1 site for over 8 years behind me and move over to Anandtech.com.

Maybe you are confused about toms. This a forum for home built/custom PC's and the enthusiasts that build/own them. And since Windows is the choice for custom built machines (and Linux), there are sections to accommodate that. Mac/Apple doesn't really fall into that category.

Over the years, categories have been added as the forum evolves. Maybe someday they will add a Mac category, but I really don't hear too many people complaining.

If this was a forum for Video/audio production, then I could see the need.

If Toms's should do a 'overclocking the macbook' -article or something like that they would probably (very probable) have a expensive lawsuit in the mail the next day, courtesy of apple.
Look but not touch is the agenda when it comes to mac's.... and you kniw this Sypher....
What are you getting at? If you gotten mac-love fine for you. Let me bild my PC!
And games for mac? Apple has promised better gaming since...well the beginning really.
All they have to do is to live up to it! A lot of people are NOT mac-haters! We belive mac-gaming when we see it!
These fan-boys drive me up a tree!

Don't remember the article about THG being censored when some people got the shaft on upgrading to OSX 10.5?

Yea Apple doesn't like their stuff to be modded.

Either way why did this guy post this here?

Who cares what Toms thinks about MAC? If you like it, then like it. Stop taking the internet so **** seriously. Toms is a money making business, they will write what makes them money. To be honest, I don't really read their articles, I just hang in the forum.

Then go to a MAC forum. I wouldn't go to a race car forum and bitch because they don't have a section on SUV's. They have a Linux section because custom builders/modders use Linux.
And maybe Toms doesn't wan a bunch of whiny, yuppy, SABB driving, coffee drinking, bluetooth headset wearing assholes hanging out on their site. Did you ever think of that? (I'm just exaggerating of course, not all mac users like coffee)

Who cares if it's about to change. And what, the are going to have one good game?

If this post is your "goodby" post, then good riddance to you. Really, there are thousands of people on this forum, nobody is really going to care if you leave. I wouldn't expect people to give a crap if I left. Go find a Mac forum to troll on.
