This piece of shit can go down the fucking drain, crammed. Why do you guys like Macs and Safari? I go to the ones on my school and now I'm on my cousin's and they're slower than my computer.
So shitty.
I don't really care about computers, or know shit. But, I know I'd rather stick with my one at home.
You're an idiot.
i am also on a macbook and i think you're being silly
Can I have what you're smoking baddood;
Macbook Air is so OuO

OS X is one of the fastest operating systems I've used. I can get online before a computer running Vista finishes booting to the login screen(we've tested this in the computer lab baddood; )
The only "slow" programs I've used are things written in Java(Java's fault, it's slow as fuck regardless of the OS since it uses a virtual machine) and Adobe programs. Everything else is instantaneous.

No seriously, I don't know why it's so fucking slow.
I have to at least wait 5 seconds each time when loading a page. Maybe it's because I had Yahoo AT&T on my other one.

I think we found the problem here.
Internet being slow != operating system being slow.

I'm not normally one to say this, but that's a pretty stupid opinion.
I'm on a Macbook Pro right now. It's the fastest computer I've ever been on. It's extremely easy to use. I don't see what's so bad about it. The only con is that macs don't have many games (which can be worked around by using boot camp and installing windows).
And if you're one of those morons that hate macs just because they don't have many pc games, than your opinion doesn't mean diddly squat.

OS X boots in about 5 seconds for me and Safari opens in under a second.
On this same computer, Windows takes about 2 minutes to get everything ready and booted up and another 10 seconds+ to open any browser.
also os x shuts down in like 2 seconds and windows takes an eternity
although the stability of the operation system and the applications used have some influence on performance, what really determines it is the actual specifications of the computer
you're an idiot for judging the operating system and web browser because you're running the damn thing on a 0.2 ghz ppc processor with 3 kb of ram
I just noticed the swarm of Mac users in this thread.

No. Nothing you could say will influence a person to spend more than a grand on a computer, unless they already had some prior intentions.
MacBooks are usually fast, but I have seen them act really slow at times as well.
At least force quit actually works on OSX
Oh look I'm using Windows powerofone;

All I know, that I'd rather have my other computer. I feel like destroying this thing.
To all the other people being prejudice about me hating on the Mac because of some stupid shit, I don't really care about computers really, as long it's fast, but fuck this.

The address bar just freezes the blue showing progress for about three seconds ot six seconds...then it goes instantly to the page.

All you've indicated about speed was internet speed related. That's like saying a computer with 512mb of ram and a Pentium 4 processor connected via FIOS is better than a computer with 2Gigs of ram and a Intel Core 2 Quad running on ADSL.

Almost nothing to do with the computer itself.

I don't even know what the fuck you just said about comparing whatever you're comparing. Also, that's why I said I don't know anything about computers, except how fast a page loads.

How fast a page loads is the internet, not computer.
How fast the applications and shit work is the computer.

Well, it is possible to install OS X on a PC but it's not as easy as say installing XP/Vista on a Mac, but meh.
