WillItStand – Macintosh

welcome again to the next match of Will It Stand, this time bringing you Apple Macintosh computers versus McIntosh apples.

The Contenders:

Origin:

Apple Macintosh: Palo Alto, California, although some sources say that it is a Xerox Alto rippoff

McIntosh apples: Dundas, ON, Canada – A single half-burn’t  apple tree gave birth to a whole lineage of apples and every apple of this kind you get today is a direct descentant of this tree.

winner:  a draw - there’s no clear winner on this round.

Size:

Apple Macintosh: It can vary to a big desktop unit to a slim iPod Touch device slightly bigger than a opened hand.

McIntosh apples: Somewhat bigger than a closed fist in average. The size can vary.

winner: Apple Macintosh - you cant carry a McIntosh in your pocket very easily…Something you can easily do with the newest portable Apple handhelds.

Color:

Apple Macintosh: They were produced in the in lots of colors but usually bland and translucent colors.

McIntosh apples: A bright and colourful red. One of the most beautiful apples you will ever see in your life.

winner: McIntosh apples – c’mon guys! I would be ashamed to bring home some Macintosh models

Taste:

Apple Macintosh: Dont know it, never tasted it.But judging from the toxic wisp that came out of the Will It Blend: iPhone episoide,I will never taste it.

McIntosh apples: A tart but sweet taste. Crunchy skin adds to the experience. (words of a McIntosh lover. I ate the legit Ontario McIntosh!)

winner: McIntosh apples – easy to pick this one. ’nuff said.

Availability:

Apple Macintosh: Almost everywere, but it costs a little fortune, with the cheapiest model , the iPod Touch being very limited.

McIntosh apples:  Not very easy to pick outside Ontario, I guess. But they are not that expensive.

winner: Apple Macintosh – won from a very narrow lead. I cant find McIntosh apples in Rio.

Develop for Apple’s Application Store:

Apple Macintosh: The only option to develop for Apple’s Application Store.

McIntosh apples: Great snack while compiling, but you still need the Macintosh.

winner: Apple Macintosh – That’s where the money is, baby!

Good for salad:

Apple Macintosh: the olive oil would make your keyboard very greasy…

McIntosh: Great with some mayo, raisings and nuts  – tasty and healthy!

winner: McIntosh apples – Ma and Pa would be very angry if you mistake them in kitchen…

Ladies and Gentlemen , we have a draw! Again! Oh boy…I have to say that I dont personally like Apple’s UI, but this is no parameter of comparission..so I have to concede…I will probably buy both one day…

Thanks for Cindy Dalfovo for the support!
