What is better Ryzen or Intel? Choosing a processor for a PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to computing.
Save big and avoid subscriptions with the lifetime version of Microsoft Office
Jeez, that's more than $400 off for the Professional version. Probably the least sketchy *legal* way to get this so cheap.
What do you guys think of this? Only a couple people on N4G actually read the article (most of them just argued over platform, which is funny considering the content of the article). I thought it was an interesting look not just at the psychology but the philosophy of why fanboys do what they do.
Everybody is a fanboy, has fanboyish traits or has acted like one if they have a preference or express it. Call it self preservation, slavery whatever. We all prefer the things we use but thats not an absolute. We are humans and humans can change their opinions and preferences (defect even). What does that mean? Our preferences define who we are as individuals and groups...Nothing wrong with that. Maybe ive been programed to believe this but i find it very hard to trust people who cannot express some type of preference. We're told never to trust somebody with a mustache (not sure why) or somebody who doesn't support a team (football, basketball, political party whatever) Even parents have their favorites so why should people feel incumbent to the theory of neutrality or be 'straight down the middle' types who express very little. People who constantly sit on fences are annoying so I say be a fanboy or act like one. 50% of fanboy talk is just crap so dont get me wrong but there would be fewer discussions without some form of it according to this article anyway.
