Macs for the pretentious computer crowd who think their shit doesn't stink for using a Mac

As a Mac user, I can report...it doesn't.



Seriously, I like the "Shush now" line best.

 

[digitize]

I have a MacBook Pro, but I absolutely despise Mac OS X, so I use Ubuntu Linux on it most of the time... just OS X for my iPhone. We need Linux references. Like "kill -9 && unlink". That would make a great song lyric.

The Windows equivalent is "End task, and send to Recycle Bin"

Nowhere near as poetic...

Just another reason that macs rule

No, the Windows equivalent would be:

End Task
[waits]
[freezes]
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Task Manager
End Task
[waits]
[task does not end]
Ctrl + Alt + Del
Shut Down
[computer doesn't shut down]

UC would be longer than MOS if Bono was a Windows user.

Gump . Maybe someday I'll post my No Line on the Horizon lyrics written by Bill Gates.

I love this line, even though I'm not a Mac user, just simply as a computer geek.

 

[chrissybaby]

great line, human but also disassociated...

 

[nirniva]

If the Unknown Caller is, as some have speculated, God, we finally have proof of what we've all suspected: God is a Mac user.

Then it would probably ask you with you wanted to run an update of some sort, then re-arrange your desk top (mysteriously)

 

[Sicy]

Haha!!

 

[Moser]

IDK why you guys jump to conclusions!

This totally a Linux reference.

Its official, Bill Gates hates Bono.

the early MS cut of Unknown Caller:

Blue Screen
Reboot Yourself
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

 

[Ladera Heights]

Brilliant. Thanks for taking the time to make the screenshot. That pretty much sums it up.

victor_f and gump ... you guys are too funny!!

This thread = the best thread on Interference right now. I loved that line before I even heard it

I'm telling you, it's gonna be the Force Quit and Move to Trash tour.

You got it mate.

And then most likely the pc doesn't restart, it rather tries to install 10 new updates that don't work and then freezes permanently.

How I remember the good old days with Windows 3.1, oh Blue screen of death, how I miss thee.

My macbook approves of these lyrics, and what do you know? It even approves of Windows XP. So yea. I take best of both worlds.

 

[gump]

I can totally see a Mac vs PC ad with Bono playing the Mac guy (McGuinness would be a great PC guy).

Bono: "Hi, I'm a Mac"

 

[labell]

HAHAH This thread is killing me. I totally didn't catch that reference, somehow, and here I am sitting, typing away on my macbook. <3 macs

[stratocaster]

I love this line
However I've heard a fair bit of whinging from non-u2 obsessed friends about this particular line and the songs lyrics....
Hurts my heart hearing it from them. haha

 

[greety]

Not a Mac user myself, but this is a computerscreen right?
The song is about a phone, so Bono actually refers to Apple Iphone here??

 

[diamond]

great thread.

[RaceAgainstTime]

bono should write a song about going back in time and dealing with the blue screen of death
