Why a Mac is really the only option. Can your PC do this?

Watch for at least 30 seconds (oh, and you don’t need to understand French to appreciate.)

    Viewing this on my Apple iPod touch... which unfortunatly doesn't play flash video.. so whatever it is, atleast I could view it on my PC. Remind me why I bought this thing again?
  • Rinkrat
    Good luck fitting your PC in your pocket. Moron
  • Pat
    Rinkrat, you might want to look up "Windows Mobile" before you try that particular taunt again.
  • nathski
    Dear Rinkrat
    Thank you so much for your concise and intelligently written reply to my comment, your parents must be very proud of you indeed. Interestingly enough I do have a windows powered mobile which can display flash and fits in my pocket surprisingly well. I wish you good luck with puberty.
  • Janaye
    more like 1/3 the price and 4 times the speed if you build it yourself.
  • chad
    yep, that is a mac. looks pretty, might do a few cool tricks but in the end, you paid more money for something that get's thrown out the window
  • L34k3d
    I wouldn't want to waste my money on a Mac if it was going to just transform and then fly out my window. I'd feel a bit ripped off. Especially if I dropped two Grand on it and had just got it out of the box...
  • modernPrimitive
    Animated in Maya on a PC!
  • 'Tards Rock
    LOL I love retards like this... They help the rest of us look good.
  • FlashRainer
    ... with kensington log is this impossible ... :)
  • I'd rather my computer NOT do that. :)

    Oh, and by the way, yes, running Linux (at least until very recently) meant that you had to go through a similar, but reverse process. Catching something somewhere, disassemble, transform, and work on it, until it turns into a computer.
  • I am with you Leonid...I would NOT want my computer to take off, Mac or PC...specially not a Mac considering the ticket price...Need I say more?
  • wanna know the keyboard short-cut
  • Well you clearly fail at being patient for more than 10 seconds. It was well worth the wait ;)
  • Guess I missed a firmware update somewhere...
  • Scott
    "It's" is a contraction of "it is." "Its" is the possessive form of "it" that you were looking for.

    I guess stupidity isn't relegated solely to Mac owners, eh, jezsik?
  • Ian
    ahhh yess, the good old typo-while-trying-to-sound-intelligent. god comment boards are predictable! now we just need someone who hates blacks and jews and it'ts complete lol
  • I hate black and jews.

    I also hate mac, I hate all the fruits, specially apples, and I also hate space ships and martians.
  • Oh, and i really really hate french.
  • fsdf
    This thread is why socialize stranger is a big focking mistake. Like social networks.
  • cam'ron
    Because everybody's native language is English, right?
  • henry
    LMAO man thats awesome!!! Im glad my PC cant do that ill be a broke man!!!
  • zorkor
    I knew something was fishy when I saw the desktop and the mouse movement. Mac users have too much free time I guess. I am PC!
  • Jon
    Difference between Mac users and PC loyalist is that they sure love to come on our blogs and bash MACs while Mac users are barely present on their how Im A PC blogs.. LOL Why is that.. What's fueling your curiosity as oppose to our disinterest!! LOL
  • Alex
    Um,.. I think it's the foaming, maniacal, cheerleading that usually does it. Usually measured by the capitalized LOLs per sentence (LOL/S).

    Yeah, that'd be it.
  • Steve
    Or it could be this underlying sense of envy, regret and bitterness at knowing that you bought the wrong computer and needing to constantly justify that decision to yourself and everyone else who is stuck using an ugly, inefficient Windows PC.

    Yeah, that'd be it.
  • Phil
    Probably because there are far more Windows users than Mac users. PC is the computer by the way, it could be running Linuz/BeOS/FreeDOS etc etc, rather than Windows.
  • Rob
    I see nothing.
  • Tony
    I always find it funny that Mac fans bring up the fact that Macs can run Windows... Don't you think Apple has something to do with the fact that non-hacked copies of OS X can't be installed in Windows? That's not MS's fault lol.

    That's simple logic.

    I have both and I love that I can run XP/Vista while in OS X, but I'm not going to delude myself either.
  • while the war continues, this site is proudly hosted on a linux server.. :D
  • Rafael
    for all of you, we talk about OS, PC= personal computer, so if it is apple, dell, clone or WHATEVER is still a PC. So, developers of hardware are the same for all, intel, nvidia, etc. Maybe OS X is a better system that windows, but i will never pay 50 times the price for a mac, when i can buy best hardware, make a cheapest and better PC, install it whatever OS i want and do whatever i want, so if you simply want to buy an icon "apple" behind your laptop or monitor and spend inncesary money, is your buisness and your buisness alone...
  • mantle536
    for goodness sakes, some people like mac's some like pc's. why does anyone care what OS, some person you've never met is using. Every comment thread for something that features a computer of any kind turns into a mac vs pc flamewar. And yes a mac is technically a pc, but honestly we all know pc is a catchall term for machines running windows, linux.
  • Uno
    He just happened to use a mac....it could have been a Windows laptop. Ordinater if you know french.


    I wonder what university he learned those effects from.
  • Uno
    It's amazing how the poster of this video just related it to a Mac, because he was using a mac, it could have been a windows computer. he just HAPPENED to use a Macintosh, it could have been a PC. Now if the video said "hey i am using a mac" then there is no problem, but if you know french he says Ordinater, which means computer, it could be a PC or a mac.
  • Sander
    Ordinateur, not ordinater. But for the rest you're right. It's a joke about the website of La Poste (the French mail), not about the hardware.
  • Très drôle mais bien fait. Bravo :)
  • Gab
    A lot of dumb comments here.

    Anyone did spot the great animation/fake amateur effect in this small yet cool buzz video or it's only France/US or Mac/PC endless stupid fights that makes people use keyboards these days.

    I'm french and I use a Mac, be my guest. And no, I don't work for La Poste.
  • davro
    awww FUCK i must buy this thing!!!! LOL
  • fhtf
    its fotochop
  • Janaye
    LMAO! I'd have to agree. :D
  • Janaye
    Another I'd agree with. And for those that don't know why, it's because Mac locks you out of EVERYTHING so you can't even customize it to the computer's full potential (which, for a mac, uses hardware that is at least 1 yr older than the latest windows systems minus the cheap ones). Also, if you break something Mac makes you buy a new computer instead of fixing yours.
  • Xymo
    Have you ever even actually bought a mac? It honestly sounds like you haven't, because I have one, and when something breaks, they replace it. For free. Isn't that a new concept for you PC users? Also, hardware is not the only thing that makes a computer good. Just because Macs might not have the same hardware that a PC does doesn't mean it won't run as well.
  • Janaye
    Finally, someone said it.
  • Janaye
    Actually, you can get the same utilities either for free or cheap if you know where to look for a Wintel system. So yeah. Mine's cheaper.
  • Xymo
    But the real question is, how much do you pay for anti-virus?
  • What mean anti-virus? I haven't had one installed on my Windows PC for two years.
  • Pat
    How much do I pay for antivirus? $0.00. When I'm not getting Norton Internet Security or the CA Security Suite for free with a rebate deal, I just download AVG or Avast, or one of the other free tools on this list:

    But I'm now beta-testing the new Microsoft Security Essentials, which is excellent and will be free to all Windows users.

    But your concern is touching.
  • So THAT'S how email works!
  • River
    ...wow.
  • CurieMerc
    Best one yet....I love it
  • hey! why don't you give me some credit for twittering this?
  • Mendelt
    So your computer flies away and Mac users are actually happy about this?

    Makes sense on a restrictive, closed platform like Apple's
  • Serves him right for leaving the window open....
  • Clearly, he's never heard of the Mighty Mouse :)
  • I hope he bought AppleCare.
  • Now there's a good reason to buy a PC instead of a Mac if I ever saw one.

    While my Dell might attempt to phone home, at least it will never take off and fly home.
  • ah!!! very good!
  • Charles
    I believe that a joke about the Windows version crashing is needed here.
  • Tara Ikeda
    My linux powered PC can do this :D
  • Tsunami
    When that happened, I found my MAC on the neighbor's tree.

    The neighbor was complaining that it kept shooting fire each time he got close to it.

    The computer saving organization took away my MAC for me not taking care of it... now she's lonely without me!!!
  • Stinky26
    Since the motor operates over a very wide RPM range, what are the factors that determine the best frequency of the motor power supply at any point? ,
