Big Rivalries

One announcement. I started blogging as an intern for CrunchGear. Make sure to add it to your RSS reader.

Seems like in life, there are always big choices to be made, sides to be chosen between big rivalries: Betmax vs VHS, Bluray vs HD-DVD. Here are some sides I choose between rivalries and what I think about them. Oh, by saying Side A > Side B, I am not saying that Side A is better. I am just saying that I prefer A over B.

Apple > Microsoft

Macs are tools that help you. PCs running Windows hinder you.

Canon > Nikon

I originally picked Canon for their superior sensors and image processors. I now like them for their better user interface.

Intel > AMD

Intels are so powerful now. And motherboards for Intel chips are slightly cheaper.

Nvidia > ATI

Ever since my first GeForce 4, I have sided Nvidia.

Democrat > Republican

I don’t even want to delve into this. Fully explaining would require way too much time.

Ferrari > Lamborghini

Lamborghinis are for flaunting. Ferraris are for driving.

*NSYNC > Backstreet Boys

I just couldn’t like the sound of Backstreet Boys songs. I liked the catchy tunes of *NSYNC better.

Briefs > Boxers

Briefs are so much more comfortable.

Wheat Bread > White Bread

I actually prefer 15-grain bread. It actually has taste unlike white bread that tastes like nothing.

Brown Rice > White Rice

Brown rice has such a nice nutty flavor.

Girls > Boys

I’m straight. Not much explanation needed.

Pencils > Pens

You can erase graphite. Pencil wins hands down.

Where do you guys side on these issues? I don’t think one combination is necessarily better than another, but it is fun to see all the different mixes people are.

Oh and while I was studying today, look what I found written by Caroline on one of my papers. I ended up making it into a background for my computer and that is what you see here.
