  2. fail says:

    This kind of stupidity makes me want to cut off/fry off the genitals of all new children being born.

    We got kids of 7+ using facebook. It can only get worse. Neuter yourselves! That, or, raise your kid properly.

  3. What? says:

    What an idiot.

  4. patrickattacktrick says:

    duuude, “your technologically impared duck right now.” i will use that later.

  5. Kweezy157 says:

    That guy needs a Mac, because Macs are for idiots who can’t take care of their computers correctly. And Firefox does have a dislike add-on btw…

    Oh and…’The Game’.

    • DLight says:

      DAMN YOU! I lost the game.

    • stephen says:

      Macs are also for hipsters.

      • hmm says:

        agreed

        Linux ftw

        • BigOno says:

          LINUX ftw ^

        • Pickles says:

          You can still have Linux on a Mac-built computer

        • Alex says:

          There’s only two reason to use linux: You’re running a server, or you’re trying to impress your geek friends.

          • pontius says:

            Or maybe you want to tweak your OS according to your needs and pleasure. Not everyone likes it when an OS treats you like an idiot and makes it hard to configure your system in favor of being user friendly. So far I have used lots of Windows versions, Mac OSX snow leopard and GNU/Linux distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Pardus and Archlinux). I can honestly say GNU/Linux was the only OS that made configurations and maintenance fun instead of boring work.

            • Lynda says:

              Pontius, I think you spelled “trying too hard to impress my geek friends” incorrectly.

            • Ian says:

              very astute, couldn’t agree more, I’ve tried them all and they have all sucked in their own way, from locking up in the CD drive (Debian) to actually borking my system (SUSE), masochists only need apply, further the retarded FTW fanboy-ism, like the cult of apple, trumpeting that it’s the best – to this day, I’m not sure at what . . . :) I fight with broken computers/networks/stupid users all day long, last thing I want to do is fight my machine when I get home

              • Termiborg says:

                Amen brother! I work in the same field, and get a lot of idiots coming in with their macs, telling me to make them work with the installed network OS’s(Win 7 currently) So guess what? I putted win 7 on ‘em:D Slower a bit, but it was worth, even the lawsuit threat from one of those eggheads:D

            • ReemZ says:

              tbh, I don’t find winblows all that user friendly…

              • Patrick says:

                Nor do I. I have a Mac–not because I can’t take care of my computer, and not because I’m a hipster, simply because I love the ease of use. If I have a problem, I call Apple. Not, “Call Dell/Hp/Acer (whoever), get told it’s a Windows problem, call Windows, get told it’s a software problem, or that it’s a hardware problem, but they didn’t make the hardware so I have to make yet another phone call, while in the meantime trying not to take a sledgehammer to the computer.”

                I’ll stick with Mac. They’ve walked me through printer installations, non-native software issues, and are in general quite helpful.

                • Kuroro says:

                  So you have a mac because you’re an iTard…
                  I had a problem with my PC laptop, called dell, talked through a few stupid questions and then sent in my battery to get it replaced (was under warranty). Took all but 15-30 mins.

                  And if you need help with printer installations… then you probably CAN’T take care of your computer properly.

                • rabidnerd says:

                  I have a PC, if I have a problem. Wait, I don’t have problems, unless something needs physically replaced after a few years. I build mine. I solve problems. Other people call me.

                  Last time I had an issue? Mac software (Bonjour/iTunes) slows down PCs horribly.

          • Whitebird says:

            Or use it because it doesn’t crash, is free, has an alternative for almost every commercial program out there, is fast, customizable, has many distributions, is ideal for netbooks and because i’m Xubuntu right now

        • st0815 says:

          That guy definitely shouldn’t attempt to run Linux.

          It’s like telling someone who hasn’t learned to tie his shoes, to go to university. It might be good advice in many cases, but not in this instance.

          • Dea says:

            I work for tech support at my university. I hate those idiots who come in for help with laptops that run Linux. I always want to tell them:

            I’m sorry, you chose to run Linux and you can’t even manage a WIRELESS connection? Please go back to Windowze or, even better, stop using a computer. You don’t have the minimum brain power required to run a computer!

        • Derp says:

          Linux is for socially awkward hipsters.

    • ItsTenThirty says:

      I hate you…

    • tamara says:

      That is one of the reasons I have a mac. The lack of virus/malware rather than the being an idiot.

      • potblessed says:

        So you are one of the hipster who believe in the MYTH that a Mac never gets virus… Our school computer workshop is full with angry hipsters because their All-Mighty-Macs are malfunctioning… then you check it up and guess what?? Full of malware and virus designed specifically for Mac… Yeap, that’s a Myth. Just like saying that Steve Jobs is God.

        • Cody, Leader of Llamas. If you have an issue with it, I'll push you off a cliff. says:

          I got to “angry hipsters” And began to reminisce about “Angry Beavers”.

          And in other news, Like you stated, Its IS a Myth that Mac OS never gets a virus, However, Mac is generally safer than Microsoft because the majority of people with computers are running Microsoft. Which means Hackers and Other Weirdos Target Windows because of it’s popularity. And it’s even EASIER for them to hack with the
          “kids of 7+ using Facebook” But I wouldn’t say Macs aren’t better. I like there Flair and simple elegance. And when I think of Microsoft, I think of Expensive Anti-Virus software.

          Also, Steve is no more a God than I am, Infact, If iJustine’s Report is true, Steve Jobs is Afraid of her. (Video: iJustine’s main channel, Title: “THE ENCOUNTER!”)

          • neoritter says:

            This becomes a moot point when hackers are developing cross platform viruses and malware. Apple has just recently realized it needs anti-virus software (that software became available about 2-years ago).

            I remember an article about a guy at a hackers convention that broke into a Mac computer in less than a minue because of a security flaw in Safari. Then next year in less than 10 seconds because of another one.

            I will never buy a Mac in part because of those reasons.

            The idea that people have that Windows is inferior because there’s a higher rate of viruses is so backwards. Most companies (not necessarily people) are running Windows OS. Hackers today are in it for money. If they want lots of it they go for the most popular. I am postive that if Mac and Windows were in reversed positions I’d be making the same argument.

        • ReemZ says:

          Of course Macs can get infected, but I’d dare guess most malware is being written for winblows as it’s simply the biggest and easiest target.

        • Patrick says:

          Quite a few of us are well aware that macs CAN get infected. We’re also aware that the likelihood of it is much much lower.

    • ProgrammerGirl says:

      I love you…

    • whitebird says:

      linux perhaps?

    • InterX says:

      People acutually buy macs beacause their:

      .More user friendly
      .Have fab firewalls
      .Great security
      .Hardly any viruses
      .Great software
      AND FUN TO USE

    • miss riddle says:

      Wouldn’t the real idiot be the one wasting his time with anti-virus software? I’d rather save the time, thanks.

      • uhh says:

        No. The real idiots are the ones wasting their money on a MAC. They are not worth the thousands you pay for them.

        • nonpartisan says:

          And somehow this turned into a flame war.

        • Cody, Leader of Llamas. If you have an issue with it, I'll push you off a cliff. says:

          They are usually worth less but are expensive anyway because of:

          -Popular Culture
          -User Friendliness
          -And Music of Course :D

        • Patrick says:

          I beg to differ. However, it’s a matter of personal opinion. To YOU they aren’t worth it. To ME, the ease of use, the ease of getting it fixed if something goes wrong, and the AMAZING helpfulness of tech support for things like trying to install a new printer (try getting Dell/etc or Windows tech support to walk you through a new hardware install for free) makes it VERY worth the money.

        • TStartTrim says:

          They use to be. They used to be worth every cent of it…

          …I havnt touched one in years though.

    • Cpt. Obvious says:

      -.-

    • Jiggles says:

      DAMN YOU! I just lost.

    • patrickattacktrick says:

      I hate you.

  6. Audrey says:

    haaaaa. he got PWND. :O!

  7. platypus says:

    *facepalm*

  8. Sammi says:

    He should be careful about not getting viruses, but just because he has an add-on for his browser doesn’t automatically mean it’s riddled with viruses.

    • ReemZ says:

      No, but his attitude (and his blind trust in m$) make it very likely his puter’s infected…

    • Patrick says:

      “ust because he has an add-on for his browser doesn’t automatically mean it’s riddled with viruses.”

      There are legit scripts for it but there are also scams. I do agree with ReemZ that OPs blind trust (idiocy) means it’s likely he has a ton of malware, even if it’s not from the dislike button.

      Amusingly, the link posted, brings up a big warning screen from bit.ly. Which means that in all likelihood, he has a scam one.

  9. Cyber-Punked Victim, ally of the ducks says:

    I have to diagree with green, technologically impaired ducks sound way smarter than red.

  10. Crispy-chan says:

    Sweet Jesus, that guy is dumb. Even i know not to install those suspicious apps through all the dumb links facebook is riddled with, especially those that require you to install wallpapers or subscribe for soe competition. Seriously, those are malicious.

  11. Forevermurphys says:

    You can still click and install extensions and apps on a Mac, and they can steal your info on fb. So having a Mac would make no difference in this case, because it’s not a virus.

  12. Robbie says:

    Am I the only one who sees the last 3 comments aren’t timed correctly? (3, 4, 3 minutes ago)

  13. Emilie says:

    This reminds me of my mom. She called me the other day;
    “I bought a new phone. You need to help me figure it out”
    “Yeah, what kind of phone?”
    “It’s an Android”
    “Mom… Saying that your phone is an ‘Android’, is like saying that you have got a ‘Windows’.”
    “But… HTC sounds so boring?”

  14. Ohhonestly says:

    Maybe the timing starts when they first start typing? Goodness knows that long screed of the blue poster might well take longer to type than the ones that flank him.

    Nah. It’s just some sort of silliness that’s not very important, I’m sure.

  15. Sinani201 says:

    Well he mentioned Microsoft Security Essentials, which is real antivirus.

  16. Shelby says:

    I think Red’s friend is an idiot, in this case. There are Chrome extensions that give you a dislike button without spyware/malware/etc.

  17. CJ says:

    He is right about one thing. Microsoft Essentials is good antivirus protection, but nonetheless, he is an idiot.

  18. Christopher, the one of many says:

    Umm… Chrome does have a virus-free dislike button app.

  19. kg333 says:

    The dislike app for Facebook has been around for a while, and enough people are using it without complaint that I wouldn’t call it malware.

    Red isn’t very computer savvy, but his friend is being a bit of a fear-monger.

    • Patrick says:

      not really. the link brings up a warning screen, instead of going to a legit add on. There are fake dislike buttons as well as legit ones.

  20. MM says:

    Umm, they don’t know anything, it IS on Firefox, thank you. Virus-free, too, as far as I know. It’s through one of the FF add ons.

  21. somebody should take the image of the thread comments here and post like the way ‘Failbook’ is being featured….include my post too! LOL

  22. teh d00che says:

    its excellet

  23. MsBuzz says:

    I thought for sure Red was a girl. I was really surprised to find out that her name was actually Tom.

  24. bacon says:

    When you want to act like you’re cool and knowledgeable about computers, please make sure you know what you’re talking about. The addon he is using isn’t malware. Is this person susceptible to scams? Likely. But to cry foul at something without researching it is pure ignorance.

  25. Kramer says:

    His wife is in a coma

  26. potblessed says:

    Well… enough of computers… lets just say what we all think:
    Facebook needs a dislike button.
    Cheezburger needs a like comment button.
    And Red needs to the heck.

  27. longhairedfreak says:

    This was not very funny.

  28. DownNeverOut says:

    We’re arguing about Macs, which can’t run much, Windows, which is a virus magnet and Linux, which is pretty much both of them with extra work. Why aren’t we talking about the fact he’s using Essentials or that his name is Tom, accodring to the tl;dr comment?

    • ReemZ says:

      Wait…Linux is a virus magnet that can’t run much?

      I’m afraid I will never be able to take you seriously for the rest of my life.

      • DownNeverOut says:

        IDK. I meant it does all the shizz PC and Mac does(both of them), with personalization, but then you’d have to build it(with the extra work).

  29. wow says:

    Anyone else notice that the third comment up is 3 minutes ago yet the second is 4 minutes ago?

  30. Crypto says:

    He’s climbing in your Windows, he’s snatching your information up…

    • Fun Gus says:

      So hide picks of your kids, hide your wives’ credit card information, and hide your husband’s business account passwords; cause they’re stealing er’body’s information out here!

      • Fun Gus says:

        You don’t need to make this malicious software using valid contact information; we gon’ backtrace you, we gon’ backtrace you!
        We got yo’ ip address and all; you are terrible hacker, you are really a terrible hacker!

  31. nananan says:

    lol people who argue about this computer crap are forever alonnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
    hit me D:

  32. Lytrigian says:

    Technologically impaired duck, huh?

  33. HURR DURR says:

    “protip”
    “>”
    I think I know where this guy surfs…

  34. Peace says:

    My goodness. Tom Riddle is rolling in his grave. And he hates technology.

  35. Evan says:

    Tested the link. bit.ly says it could be a bad link (since it may have been shortened more than once), but the publisher has been verified by the chrome extension gallery. (in other words, it’s clean)

    And, for what it’s worth, I have heard some positive comments about MSE from Lifehacker and others… I doubt I’d ever use it though…

  36. computer literacy fail.

  37. I Am Jack's Colon says:

    “Also, believing your computer can’t get infected by malware because you have some kind of god-like anti virus software is retarded.”

    Oh, so he’s a Mac user, then?

  38. Mr. T says:

    OHMYGOD WTF AM I READING

  39. Steven J says:

    Tbh he was being a bit of a scaremongering twit. You CAN get modifications for facebook that others can see without it necessarily being malware. Even if that one clearly might be, he could’ve just went “Look, that’s a malicious link. You might want to remove whatever it is you added”. Now saying it would’ve made a difference but, y’know, he went about it a stupid way ;)

  40. Axalto says:

    …yet.
