Why? Who cares, really?

I don't feel the need to justify what I buy to anyone.

(Well, except the gimp outfit - that will take some explaining to the Mrs! )

As for the vid - loved it.
The fact that more and more keep popping up shows that there is an audience out there for this sort of thing.
Like it lump it Jack, Apple's rep is getting worse.
More and more people are seeing it for what it actually is - A company that milks its fanbase for everything they have.

 

Even if that were true isn't that more a fault of the buyers than the company though? If people didn't allow themselves to be 'milked' Apple couldn't do it!

 

Ignorance is iBliss....

 

That is true. But once in and you make every piece of tech in your house an Apple product, you are stuck.

Also, Apple don't want healthy competition. They want the entire market for themselves and will stop at nothing to try and achieve this. Look at all the legal wranglings that have not gone their way in the last few months. The $1 billion lawsuit against Samsung will not stand up either. It was clearly fixed and the industry realises this.

If you like the tech, fine buy it. If you like the company, I would seriously question your ethical view point.

There, I said it. Apple fans are nasty, dangerous, evil creatures.

 

 

 

The Apple haters’ stages of grief go something like this:

Predict failure of new Apple product.
Attribute early success of new Apple product to rabid fanbois affected by the reality distortion field.
Attribute longer term success of product to stupidity of consumers.
Purchase previously scorned product for stupid relatives so they stop bothering you to help support the open source version of Apple product sold by Super Lucky Technology Extreme Inc. that you convinced them to buy.
Purchase previously scorned product for yourself just to see what all the fuss is about
Admit that you now own and use the product, but complain about the product’s lack of SD card slot on random Internet forum.
Forget prior criticism of product, claim that it was revolutionary and an example of how Apple used to be really innovative, but has now lost its edge.

 

You are clearly guilty of 'willfully' copying that post and pasting it here.

 

Of course.

 

Seems to be Apple's mantra! They'll patent it soon and sue!
