- Hayaemsay, on 11/16/2007, -6/+34Yeah, the shadows are all wrong.
- RoyalPwner, on 11/16/2007, -8/+23lol. XKCD ftw.
- Feawen, on 11/16/2007, -8/+3What about the blood clots and the dull shine off them?
- skunkman62, on 11/16/2007, -8/+4the logo maybe shopped but she is still a cutter. she needs help.
- SarahC, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1Her name is Lia, and she has body dysmorphia.
The apple logo is fake. She only has straight scars on that arm.
- BrainInAJar, on 11/16/2007, -3/+10you can tell by the pixels
- Tahiri, on 11/16/2007, -1/+4The reflections are all wrong

- bs0l, on 11/16/2007, -5/+2mmmmm..yum
- ikkonenlev, on 11/16/2007, -5/+1suck my Jeffler ! its justa little mistake
- diggingaround, on 11/16/2007, -5/+3
I'm working in Photoshop daily for the past 10 years... this one is real... you can tell by that semi-hard scab.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_mutilation#Metho ... - ikkonenlev, on 11/16/2007, -3/+1O_o dmnit -52 that cuz of a small typing error :(((
- cphelps, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5Well, let us see. You don't put vowels in curse words, when you don't have to censor yourself. You type "cuz" instead of "because" and you don't use punctuation. I think you deserve -525252525252525252 diggs myself.
- ikkonenlev, on 11/16/2007, -4/+1cphelps, you looks SO clever guy, that I even have nothing to say. I dont understand whata u doing here with such mind? "i deserv" max 10 years old statement :(
- abes2, on 11/16/2007, -3/+1Hmmm... You say "I think you deserve -525252525252525252 diggs myself." Sounds like you are not sure whether "You (ikkonenlev)" or "myself (you)" deserves that -525252 (...) diggs... I mean... that's pretty stupid of an argument... and besides that... if you were to see that girl on the street... the first thing you'd probably think would be "OH *****!!!!" so just stfu and stop complaining... ikkonenlev 1 : 0 you....
- abes2, on 11/16/2007, -1/+1hmmm... didnt know that my -1 will bury you... oh well...
- cphelps, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5Well, let us see. You don't put vowels in curse words, when you don't have to censor yourself. You type "cuz" instead of "because" and you don't use punctuation. I think you deserve -525252525252525252 diggs myself.

- theForemanGrill, on 11/16/2007, -27/+6it's shopped - you can tell easier in this enlarged version --> http://imager.cc/page3/inlovewithapple/
- BloggerJohn, on 11/16/2007, -20/+490"Really now, what in the severe *****?" lmfao!
- Bodhinature, on 11/16/2007, -3/+117Look at the rest of her arm. She cuts herself. She's a classic self-mutilator. She literally needs psychiatric care.
- danconia, on 11/16/2007, -3/+25Agreed and yet she apparently thinks it's cool. Reeeeal cool people, emo bastards go get some psychologist sessions.
- FortyCaliber, on 11/16/2007, -23/+1Why... because she cuts herself? So... she's alive, and apparently likes it.
People who cut themselves are just looking for attention from others or from some part of themselves. Why waste the resources and time on someone who is alive and happy.- Darkhacker, on 11/16/2007, -1/+16Because you shouldn't need to cut yourself to gain attention in order to be happy. Plus, not all cutters walk around bragging about it or showing them off. Lots of people keep it a secret and also need help.
- heynoop, on 11/16/2007, -16/+1darkhacker, who the ***** are you to say what you should and shouldn't do to be happy? ugh you make me sick. its her own body.
- TheSmiddy, on 11/16/2007, -0/+9are you sure you don't also need help?
- lostboy, on 11/16/2007, -2/+1Some people who cut theirselves just happen to be into body modification. Google scarification.
http://www.bmezine.com/scar/bme-scar.html
You can't simply say all these people are in need of 'help' because it doesn't necessarily make sense to you. Why don't we try not to make assumptions of people we don't know and just appreciate her rabid fandom for what it is.

- browwiw, on 11/16/2007, -22/+21Imaginary sandaled friends aren't going to help her. Better to put her in a nice, practical secular hospital.
- Tenoq, on 11/16/2007, -5/+11That was funny. Why are you getting dugg down? :p
- browwiw, on 11/16/2007, -5/+7Because Xians clump together like the zombie horde followers that they are.

- nastri83, on 11/16/2007, -13/+11That's the funniest picture on the internet. Even more funny if it's real. Those cutters sure are whores for attention, it's about time they start whoring for sponsorship.
- PopularNerd123, on 11/16/2007, -9/+2BITCH HAS GOT PROBLEMS!
- bjfisel, on 11/16/2007, -6/+4I agree... "what in the severe *****"?!?! She's pretty hot though... she'd be hotter if she didn't cut herself!
- Bodhinature, on 11/16/2007, -3/+117Look at the rest of her arm. She cuts herself. She's a classic self-mutilator. She literally needs psychiatric care.
- Sikwondo, on 11/16/2007, -6/+177Just a tiny bit messed up. She could of made more of an effort with her forearm though, that just ruins the whole piece.

HAVVVVVVVVVVVE!!!!
there i'm better now. - undersky, on 11/16/2007, -8/+3I am not upset about her obsession with apple to this extend, after all the world does not lack weirdos and whackos, but I am upset about the person who wrote "another reason I hate the iCommunity."
So he hates everyone who loves Apple just because this one individual's action? How is this different than the kind of irrational bigotry that fuels blatant racism throughout the history of miserable mankind?????- MeThePeople, on 11/16/2007, -2/+2"another reason I hate the iCommunity."
key word there is another. you should look it up in the dictionary. in this sentence it means there are other reason besides just this one.- undersky, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1are u on crack? or failing english class? because no, it does not mean what you just said.
- Sytebutcher, on 11/16/2007, -1/+0Go cut yourself Mac user!

- Orion682, on 11/16/2007, -3/+14I would too. I'd also likely take her to dinner and maybe have a nice conversation with her...
No wonder my friends tell me I have a thing for redheads and "damaged goods" e_e She's hot as hell nonetheless though.- DesertFlyer, on 11/16/2007, -6/+4You have friends???
- jenshik, on 11/16/2007, -4/+8...With a shovel.
- frozenpxl, on 11/16/2007, -2/+12I'd cut it.

- MrFisty, on 11/16/2007, -2/+81Isn't it obvious? She's rebelling by carving a corporate logo in her arm.
That's so awesome. No wait, what's that other word, oh right: *****.
- Feawen, on 11/16/2007, -16/+8It's one of the more creepy things I've seen online in a while. And that's saying a lot about her and the internet.

- Nightlie, on 11/16/2007, -47/+3what kind of idiot compares a Mac with a company (Asus) that makes Apple's computers?
- RogerStrong, on 11/16/2007, -3/+31Someone who's trying to make a fair comparison?
- DeathJux, on 11/16/2007, -5/+11In all seriousness, his comparisons fall far from fair when he included the Quadro graphics card on the Mac set-ups, which is a ~$1500 graphics card for professional use only.
- Kerrigore, on 11/16/2007, -5/+3Not to mention the fact that he doesn't use the same processors in both, and randomly claims that the PC is "3x" as powerful even though the processors on the Mac Pro almost certainly outperform the ones on the PC; 2 x dual-core > 1x quad-core
- Tenoq, on 11/16/2007, -4/+3Indeed, that comparo is completely retarded. Let's do it again with a $2000 Quadro card in your Dell, vs oh, I don't know, any average Mac with a gaming graphics card? *****, that's the most retarded comparison I've ever seen.
I did see one not long back with near identical components - one from Apple one from Dell - both about the same $3k price. I think they were only differentiated by one had a better screen and the other required a warranty purchase.
The fact is though, this idea that Apple computers cost twice as much as everything else is a complete fallacy. :p

- MrBarcode, on 11/16/2007, -28/+394it's a fake, photoshopped. I've seen everything from "4 chan", to the apple logo. On her arm. Faked
- Tizlox, on 11/16/2007, -4/+124I saw the 4chan one, I think they photoshopped a couple of meme's onto her too. But from what I've heard/seen, this is the real one that she started out with.
- Jeffler, on 11/16/2007, -5/+44Tizlox is correct, but I think this isn't even a cut, this is actually a really well done tattoo.
EDIT: Actually, looking at it more, I'm undecided. If it is a cut, WTF IS WRONG WITH HER?- thirty6chambers, on 11/16/2007, -6/+2I don't know which is worse.
- Slashriffs, on 11/16/2007, -5/+3She cut it.
See those marks on her arms?
Thats what kids normally do when they cut
Contrary to popular belief, your wrists bleed way too much

/ducks - TotalHalibut, on 11/16/2007, -3/+15The question is, is it 300% duller than a normal razor?
- darkciti2, on 11/16/2007, -10/+1No, but it's 500% shinier and much more user friendly.

- CLShortFuse, on 11/16/2007, -14/+20if you were serious about spending $6000, you wouldn't spend it on the mac, you'd spend it on the PC. you'd have to be a diehard apple fan to pick the mac one.

- petard, on 11/16/2007, -0/+7Core 2 Quad, not Duo
- neonfunk, on 11/16/2007, -3/+6word.
still, there's a big difference between one dual-core xeon and two dual-core xeons. and the site is still claiming it has one.
most importantly: you can spec out the mac pro with TWO QUAD-core 3.0 GHz xeons, and all of the other specs he has listed MINUS the $1500 graphics card with stereo 3D support (and a different 512 MB VRAM card instead) for... $5951. yep, that's right, including the monitor. 8 xeon cores beats a core 2 quad.
anyone in the right mind who's not just feeding their pride will know how bogus a claim it is that "iThings cost 300% more". horse *****. - fumar, on 11/16/2007, -0/+0Actually you could build a PC with 2 xeons and it would cost around $3000, if you put 2gb of ram and a cheap gpu in there.
- neonfunk, on 11/17/2007, -0/+1seeing how the quad-core 3.0 ghz xeons cost ~ $1300 at new egg, that would leave you with $400 for motherboard, ram, hard drive, optical drive, graphics card, monitor, heatsinks, power supply, case...

- TheFinaleofSeem, on 11/16/2007, -2/+2Yeah, unless you want a workstation for some serious video/graphic/3D work. Then the Mac Pro might just be a wise choice. Lots of pros would pick the Mac. But yeah, it's all about the fanboyism. Nitwit.

- barius, on 11/16/2007, -2/+13Crashingechelon, you're almost right.
Normal home users would not spend $6000, but there are two types who would:
- Hard-core gamers will spend $6,000 on a PC because it's a gaming platform. The Nvidia 8800 Ultra is a gaming card and the Mac store doesn't even provide a comparable selection.
- 3D graphics artists, hard-core CAD designers and science buff would spend $6,000 on the Mac because it comes with the Quadro FX 4500. The Quadro is specifically designed for 3D rendering, CAD and scientific purposes. Note that the Quadro line is very *bad* at playing games despite the $1,650 price-tag.- thepxc, on 11/16/2007, -1/+5For the record: PowerMacs Mac Pros or whatever they're called now are ***** beasts.
You can go absolutely nuts with the CPU/RAM on those things, and just buy your own video card(s). - L0g1X, on 11/16/2007, -2/+1PEOPLE BUY MACS TO USE MAC OS. And 3D artists use Windows because certain 3rd party plugins only work on Windows.

- petard, on 11/16/2007, -1/+21 Core 2 Duo is similar to 1 dual core xeon (both dual core). He actually compared it to a Core 2 Quad though
- bobartig, on 11/16/2007, -1/+2but he compares 2x 3 ghz quad core xeons to 1x 3 ghz c2e
- RockinRoel, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Read, guys, he compares 2 dual core xeons to 1 quad core Intel Core 2 Extreme. According to petard, that's equal performance, but petard, you don't know squat about processors. A Xeon is a workstation processor and has more power than a Core 2 Extreme. Of course, the power of a Xeon is only used by professionals who really need it. Processor speeds don't matter that much anymore ever since Athlon started naming their processors 2000+ and such, pointing at the power that lies within the architecture itself, being competitive with 2 GHz Pentium 4's. I recommend you look up this stuff.
- SpacedCowboy, on 11/16/2007, -2/+8Similar in that they've both got two cores on one chip, perhaps, but the Xeon will smoke the core-2 duo... That's what you get in a Macbook...

- ThreeDee912, on 11/16/2007, -4/+20He's taking all MSRP prices from Apple and comparing them to sale prices at some PC site. Not accurate. Who the hell pays $300 for a stick of RAM? I'd purchase the RAM somewhere else and upgrade it myself.
- cerealman, on 11/16/2007, -6/+15So, your saying he shouldn't buy from Apple? Gotcha.
- bobartig, on 11/16/2007, -2/+22He also throws in an apple display, when you can easily use the same samsung display on both computers and save $x00. Then, he goes on to claim using ZERO examples that his quad core system is 3x as powerful as the octocore mac desktop. =/
Yes, PC cheap, Mac Expensive, we get it, but I could just as easily whip up real world app benchmarks where the Mac Pro EATS that PC for lunch. Then, I could make a $6000 system that would beat them both, but I'm a mac user so I don't bother. =P- cerealman, on 11/16/2007, -11/+7"He also throws in an apple display, when you can easily use the same samsung display on both computers and save $x00."
You can also save even more by not buying an Apple. Mac freaks like to scream "Apple is great!" but the moment you compare buying from Apple and another PC vendor, you scream "No, you can't buy from Apple!"
As for Macs eating PC for lunch, hahahaha. I have some benchmarks Macs will never pass.- bobartig, on 11/16/2007, -2/+4um, right. Some benchmarks will benefit from the lowermemory latency of the pc's ddr3 vs fbddr2 of the mac pro, whereas highly CPU bound operations the mac will win almost 2x over. The quatro pro card also sucks for most applications that dont explicitly require it. Which is to say I can come up with plenty of real world app benchmarks that the PC literally can't run, but I defy you to find one example that the mac literally won't run
So as long as you're using my example, we can both agree that I'm right. thanks for playing. - soopafly, on 11/16/2007, -1/+4You could spend $10,000 on your PC... but you're still running Windows.

Well, that's how it is in Belgium anyway. I remember seeing a retailer in Germany with insanely low prices, but that was probably just because of the lower VAT.

- fadeout, on 11/16/2007, -9/+5Probably photoshopped. The top and right edges of the Apple logo look like the skin has been smoothed out prior to the cuts (blur tool), the red is a bit too vibrant and the focus is too sharp compared to everything else in the picture.

- Rice, on 11/16/2007, -2/+19I don't feel well after that. I love my MacBook Pro, but it's just a computer.
- barius, on 11/16/2007, -4/+5It was said above, but the comparison is BS. The Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 gfx card in the Mac costs $1650 on it's own. The only problem is that the only other high-end card available for selection on the website is the ATI x1900xt which isn't really as powerful as the Nvidia 8800Ultra so the author figured they'd just choose the most expensive card available, which isn't fair at all.
That and he did not factor in the cost of all the added software that does not come with Windows.- mathmanjeffy, on 11/16/2007, -0/+3You're an idiot. Just saying. STOP POSTING THIS *****, it's not the point of the article.
- sk2134, on 11/16/2007, -9/+6DUDE QUAD CORE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THAT MEANS?!? Thats like the processor thats in the Mac, BUT TWO OF THEM. And then you can overclock it to about 4.6 GHz on Windows. So it ends up being about 4 of the Mac processor shown. Oh yeah and then 2 GRAPHICS CARDS. Do you realize what your trying to standing up for? NO YOU DON'T! BECAUSE YOUR A MAC USER! And what software do you mean exactly? PHOTOBOOTH?!!? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN? Any software you would use a computer like that would have to be bought for mac to, unless your badass and you bootleg it. Dude honestly, you should take your computer, what ever it is, and toss it out the nearest window. Then as soon as you do that, try to catch it before it falls by jumping out after it. Mac users don't realize how stupid their obsession is. And in 10 years it won't matter anyway because Macintosh will be bankrupt AGAIN and everyone who so hopelessly defended their precious APPLES will have to switch to Windows. SO HAHAHA. FTW!
- vincekiessling, on 11/16/2007, -3/+2*****. Glad to see intelligence, however offensive it may be. Not so sure about the bankruptcy part though.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 11/16/2007, -2/+2If that's your idea of intelligence, then you must not be a very bright person.
- ddufour, on 11/16/2007, -0/+5TALKING IN ALL CAPS IS ANNOYING!
- barius, on 11/16/2007, -0/+4Uh, did you read the article yourself?
A) The PC only has 1 gfx card, an Nvidia 8800 Ultra.
B) The Mac was created with an Nvidia Quadro FX 4500, an 'engineering' class gfx card costing $1,650, or roughly double the cost of one 8800 Ultra. No one buys Quadro cards for what is essentially a gaming rig, it simply doesn't make sense. If his comparison were fair he would make a comparison using the same 8800 Ultra in both the PC and the Mac. BTW, in case you didn't know, you can replace gfx cards in Mac Pros (but not in iMacs, but that's not what he is comparing).
C) Replacing the cost of the Quadro with an 8800 Ultra would allow you to outfit the Mac more equivalently to the PC.
D) iLife is pretty damn sweet.
E) I'm not a Mac user. My primary computer runs Ubuntu, and I have a few different versions of Windows running on various machines. If anything, I'm an OS enthusiast. Thanks for asking, next time try it in lower case letters like the ones I'm using.
F) I tried to re-create the authors' PC at the site he posted using their 'custom builder'. I could not.
- The first problem right from the start is that not one of the customization options allows you to select the Asus P5E3 mobo.
- None of the selectable mobos support DDR3, thus his selection of DDR3 is impossible.
- His chosen chassis is not selectable.
- His chosen gfx card (8800 Ultra) is not selectable.
What does this tell me? He most likely did not use the 'custom build' option, but rather priced out each part as though he were going to build it himself. If he's going to compare a pre-built, Apple Warrantied computer to a home-built, self-assembled, self-installed computer then it's not exactly fair is it?
Disagree? Then build his system and show me some screenshots to prove it. - TheFinaleofSeem, on 11/16/2007, -2/+5Great. Now show me someone who wants a workstation bitching about software costs and overclocking. The Mac Pro is NOT a gamer/hobbyist machine. It's a workstation geared toward heavy video/CAD/scientific/3D/etc work. And yeah, Apple's making record profits. They're gonna be so bankrupt!
You're a ***** idiot.- Feawen, on 11/16/2007, -5/+0So unless you want pro-tools and CAD there's no point in buying a Mac?
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1No, unless you're doing heavy work, there's not much point in buying a MAC PRO. We're talking about one model, *****.
