The graphics in many games these days require a level of customization on the computer that Macs cannot provide. Apple calls their lack of customization "computer stability."

While this is true, you have to still consider the source. I have read some stories from computer people that leave you wondering what they were smoking after you read it, but this particular person's area of expertise (supposedly anyway) obviously added an extra level for me to not even consider it as important enough for my time.

The poster makes some good points here, and at 17 I think he's way ahead of his time! Well done, whether what you were responding to was a hoax or not.

In the article the author mentions having problems plugging in a simple USB device like a webcam. I'm not 100% sure but don't all Intel Macs (minus the Mac Pro, which was not available at the time) have webcams built in? Isn't that a bit of a retarded thing to do?

The Mac mini doesn't have an iSight built-in.
