Obama's a Mac - Hillary's a PC

[GoneOffShore]

Although this comparison has been noted before, the NYT Technology section highlights it again.

Just to add another layer of rancor to the mix..

Macs rule!

5. It's just a commercial

Rumor has it the PC guy in those ads has written some great books but I've never gotten around to reading them

[hisownpetard]

6. Obama's a Prius. Hillary's a Hummer (with apologies to Monica).

[GoneOffShore]

31. Well, some folks would like to think so

But perhaps Bill doesn't.

:hide:

[scarletwoman]

39. !

:spank:

[lapfog_1]

7. That would make McCain a MainFrame

old, clunky, expensive to maintain, kept in a glass room or bubble, out of date.

I think I'd like some fries and a chocolate milkshake with my Mac please!

[IDemo]

18. or an abacus...

[Barack_America]

Kind of like HRC - The Museum of Dead Policies.

[TragedyandHope]

10. Obama is Linux - Hillary is FORTRAN Monitor System

[C_U_L8R]

[GoneOffShore]

30. But what about the malware?

And the viruses?

[SoxFan]

49. That would be Carville

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. The viruses worms, malware, adware of Corporatism have corrupted

the hard-drive of the OS, they need to buy more memory just to run the programs,
or reformat the hard drive.

[L0oniX]

15. Obama is Winamp, Hillarat is a phonograph.

[GoneOffShore]

[high density]

17. Hillary is a Commodore 64

She ain't even close to a modern PC.

[suston96]

19. Sorry, Obama AND Hillary are both Macs - McLain is a PC.

[PatGund]

21. If thats the case.....

Sen. Obama = Mac OS X

Sen. Clinton = Mac OS 9 (Servicable in the past, but has been surpassed by modern systems)

[suston96]

23. Nope! Both OS Xs. See my next post: Obama is no Steve Jobs....nt

[GoneOffShore]

40. She's more 8.6

Capable but not so good at handling the big programs.

[Cabcere]

47. Hey, not cool

I like PCs. :P :hi:

*waits for accusations of freeperhood* ;)

[kevsand]

20. If Hillary was a PC...

...she'd have something like 95% of the market share (delegates) right now. I don't want Obama to be the best technology that hardly anyone uses (votes for).

[suston96]

22. Obama is no Steve Jobs....

"Obama is no Steve Jobs

February 17, 2008 by wdot

Much has not been made of Hillary and Obama’s policy differences. Apparently if CNN says “their policies are pretty much the same,” it must be true. Admittedly, I capitulate that Hillary and Obama are much more alike than not and am very thankful that they both stand in stark contrast to any Republican candidate left in the field.But I’m not ready to dismiss the 5% difference. I’m not ready to call it “same, same” in this process of picking the candidate for the most powerful position on Earth. For me, details matter in this race for the White House. Details don’t matter for the sake of details. Details matter because they reveal Hillary and Obama’s underlying approach to governance and what type of leader they will ultimately be in the Oval Office.

The Myth of the Visionary Leader
Obama is sexy. He’s your “visionary” leader armed with a Steve Job-esque presentation style. Two-word keynote slides. No nitty gritty data, no tiny details that belabor the point. All vision, all the time.

But let’s spend a moment debunking the myth of the visionary leader - the kind with all the great ideas that take a backseat once he or she inspires his or her staff. Behind Steve Job’s veneer of stylistic flair is a someone whom many consider “a temperamental micromanager whose insistence on total control” has made Apple… one of the hottest consumer products company in the world.

Obama is no Steve Jobs. He has essentially admitted that much in his interview with the Reno Gazette:"

******

"Hillary is no Steve Jobs either…but she may be Bill Gates...."

Bill Gates? See the link....

[stray cat]

27. McCain is a typewriter?

[anonymous171]

28. No, he's a Printing press

[GoneOffShore]

29. Actually he's more of a woodblock.

[invictus]

33. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

36. Hanging chad?

Oops, my bad.

I thought you meant something else.

But that could be a problem that we don't want to know about.

[Kittycat]

34. Someone PLEASE open photoshop, internet explorer, and then try to...

edit an Excel Spreadsheet embedded in PowerPoint.


PLEASE!!! For the love of all that is holy - for once I'm begging to see that big blue screen pop up.

[kwenu]

37. Hillary is a Sinclair 2000.

[newmajority]

42. Exactly where I was going

Someone Photoshop a Hillary sticker on this high tech (for 1982) super computer!

[nxylas]

44. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum

This thread is making me all nostalgic.

[mtnsnake]

38. Hillary is hard drive and Barack is software, very soft.

:smoke:

[cottonseed]

41. Obama is an iPod and Hillary is a Zune

Ties up the PC market share rebuttal neatly. Also, iPod is a revolutionary, new and exciting product that just plain works better. Zune is a manufactured mess trying to capitalize on the popularity of the much superior product; the iPod.

[mathewsleep]

43. obama' a mammel, hillary's a trilobite.

[scheming daemons]

46. Obama is a Ferrari, Hillary is an Edsel
