• "There are many more games for consoles than there are serious computer games." That, my friend is false. There are hundreds and hundreds of games that are "PC exclusive" and not for consoles. Take the ARMA Series, for example. They are never let out on the console, simply…
• So, there has been a debate going on for a very long time. It is Computers vs. Consoles. There has been a long dispute over which is better. When the first Xbox came out, i was awed by the technology. Being able to play games in 3-dimensions was awesome. But what i didn't know…

• I would have thought that reliable and accurate were hand-in-hand in the context of an encyclopedia.
• Wikipedia.org is one of the top ten most visited websites the internet has to offer, but takes a lot of heat for being inaccurate and not reliable. Personally, I've never been allowed to site Wikipedia for any research I've done in school. I find, however, that Wikipedia is…

• At least Apple phones don"t blow up in your face like Samsung Galaxy S7. And don"t even get me started on Bixxy. They are very cheap phones and sell them for 900 dollars. Oh, how and how about, they include a 3.5mm headphone jack ADAPTER. Apple came first and then Samsung came…

• Apple is better than Samsung. That's all I can say. The best modern brand of technology you can get. It's Confirmed.
• What you said in Round 1 is true, the fact that "Apple has a thin and smooth exterior" does not mean it's better. However, a Supercomputer has absolutely nothing to do with this debate because nor Apple or Samsung owns one. Even if someone has one, it is impossible to carry it…

• Apple is better then Microsoft or any computer company because there computers have history of innovation and have followed and lived up to Steve Jobs Amazing vision of changing the world with every new invention!
• apple has just releases new computers almost every half of year and also Microsoft quarterly profits are only up because they released the xbox one this quarter where as apple didn't release a new product this month so you can't compare the quarters.

• Thank you for agreeing. My first statement is that Mac's do not get viruses. This is due to the fact that they are better protected they do not catch these harmful viruses. There is also not enough computers for it to spread from one to another. These result in less money being…

• When you talk about the purchasing of video games and having age restrictions on them, I must say I agree. Many stores have made it so that ID must be shown at the till when games are rated 12 and over making children below the age unable to buy the game. Especially with Modern…
• I believe that video games are shaping many children in a negative way. This is mainly because of games like modern warfare and grand theft auto (purely as an example here). These games -and ones of a similar genre- are introducing violence to a much younger audience than the…
