Major Nelson = Traitor Nelson?
Wexx | 9:14 PM on 10.14.2008 16 comments


So I was browsing twitter today, and I noticed this - mostly harmless - tweet from Major Nelson:


"Catching up on today's Apple news. Hmm...glass trackpad? Sounds like I need to drop by the Apple Store this weekend."

I find it funny that a Microsoft employee doesn't use their OS, especially some one as high-profile/public as Major Nelson.

This is also proof that Apple is taking over the world, and we should kill it with fire.

I'm sure he doesn't plan to exclusively use a MacBook Pro if he gets one. That said, I would.

Oh noes let's boycott Mirco$oft!!!11! Seriously who cares? I reggie owned an Ipod I wouldn't call him disloyal because it can also play games. I'm sure steven speilburg doesn't watch only his OWN movies.

Macs are good for media and the like. That and for the hipster, pseudo-intellect douche-bags who use them.

YEA, KILL APPLE.
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
What the fuck is wrong with Apple? I'm buying one of those new Macbook Pros real fucking soon. Why? Cause they're awesome and I don't give a shit about PC games anymore.

Clockwork:

You're essentially paying 500 extra bucks for a brand name.

Pedrovay:

HA!
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
He uses both, actually. He's wealthy enough not to have to choose between both of them. I used to listen to his podcast.

The guy just loves tech in general and isn't really biased when it comes to it.

Guess what? He also owns a PS3!

:O

OMGNOWAI!

@Clockwork: Don't listen to Alexradl. For a desktop computer, he's right, you can build what some people call a "Hackintosh" and they are as fast or faster than Apples.
Unless you are buying an Apple Desktop, you can't beat a powerbook/macbook. I've had 3 and all of them are tanks, and the batteries last forever. As long as you don't care about games, you will be highly satisfied.

Note: I am an audio Producer, and Videographer/editor. So I pretty much use Mac OS for everything besides gaming.

@Pedrovay

The picture is funny unless you've worked big corporate events like that. It most likely belonged to a media designer working for the company that Microsoft contracted to organize and put on the event for them. Most big corporations don't have an in-house team to do that for them, and these smaller media firms generally use Macs because they're better for design work.

Joke-killa.

Market research? lol

@Mechamonkey

Oh, trust me, I get exactly why they used a Mac. I know Macs are tons better for multimedia and the like. I just thought it was ironic, and it's still funny to me. :P

Really? This surprises you? LOL, I find it normal. Next thing you know, you'll be surprised that he has a PS3 in his office at Microsoft right next to his 360 and Wii!!

 about me

Hey! What, I'm supposed to tell you about myself? Well, ok, but only because you axed so nicely :D

Well, I live in a pretty boring town, which lies about an hour from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm currently trying not to go insane at Community College, combating it with healthy amounts of Vijagames, sleep, and food. But other than that, I'm a pretty normal person.

...

Well, I'm alright.
