lol u mad?

Naw, annoyed. Its like every Apple user has tiny cock syndrome. Even though no one asked, Apple fanboi's have to constantly bring up the fact how much the love their apple and how everyone should use it. Stop trying to compensate for your undersized Apple wang.

If you love your Apple, then GREAT, fucking love it. It still doesn't mean any one else gives a fuck, or was looking for your BUY AN APPLE in a PC virus thread.

Let's say you love Spaghetti. Should you run around and find every hamburger thread on the interwebs that you can and post about how great spaghetti is? No, you should enjoy your tasty spaghetti and STFU.

Yeah, except I run your OS, in OSX, and it runs even better.

Anyone who uses a term like 'fan boi faggotry' just is oblivious to the fact, yes there are many cases where osx won't be good for them, however from my experience 90% of people are just putting up with it because they just don't know any better, oh and if you are in AM, and not running osx - you're doing it wrong.

If it walks like a duck then.....

If Apple is so great, then why do you have to run my OS? Right.

I play many video games from my main pc, and its built for it. So no, your Apple, running WinX OS does not run better. And I still paid less.

You know it boggles my mind that this stuff is going on all over the place and yet the people that are sending "spam" with regular affiliate offers (that people can choose not to click on, or even choose not to read at all, for that matter) are the ones going to jail? Talk about displacement of aggression. Where are the people being prosecuted for this shit? I mean this was way more annoying that anything I receive in my inbox. And can you imagine if I had actually clicked on the offer and downloaded their shit? Man all my moniez would have been in Russia by now.

People in the US get prosecuted for doing this exact thing:
Computer Security Research - McAfee Labs Blog
FTC Cracks down On Spyware Operation


And you're making a (spam)bot with Ubot and complaining about people getting prosecuted? I lol'd.

Here is an excellent writeup a buddy of mine from the security biz sent me a couple of years ago. The antivirus researchers
hacked into the Russian's affiliate accounts and merchant accounts and posted earnings:
Rogue Antivirus Dissected - Part 1 - Research - SecureWorks

Some pretty impressive earnings (in dollars).
Affiliate ID Affiliate Username Account Balance (USD)
4928 nenastniy $158,568.86
56 krab $105,955.76
2 rstwm $95,021.16
4748 newforis $93,260.64
5016 slyers $85,220.22
3684 ultra $82,174.54
3750 cosma2k $78,824.88
5050 dp322 $75,631.26
3886 iamthevip $61,552.63
4048 dp32 $58,160.20

Those earnings are for a single week. So yeah, there's money to be had here

Sheeeeeeeeet. Can you ask your buddy what Merchant Account Provider they were using? If I was with them I'd be making millions!

Well that was kinda my point. I think there's an illogical focus of anger in this country. I understand that it's based on ignorance, but still. Maybe it's just me, but I will always see a difference between an unwanted email and hijacking a person's computer. And if the law's going to be involved, then I think they should too.

This is why I hate my Mac. Whenever I try and recommend it to people, I get flamed for being a Mac faggot fan boy. Oh well, I suppose it comes with the territory... Sorry for trying to help.
