Have you ever examined the Mac commercials that you people buy into? They're full of propaganda. Not only propaganda, TEXTBOOK propaganda. The "I'm a Mac" ads are nothing buy straw man. The "Switch" ads are based on "Appeal by Common Man," showing typical saps bragging about how happy they are now that Jobs gave them a hand job.

The iPod is nothing about an overly costly MP3 player, which gets smaller and more unnavigable with each passing update.

The iPhone is not necessary. It's another shiny toy that gluttonous poor Americans buy because it's the cool fucking thing. Not that it isn't cool to spend $5 on an application that randomly pics a restaurant from a list, but ALL of that shit is impractical and useless. If you need to play games when you're on the bus buy a fucking gameboy for a tenth of the price, game prices included.

Apple is retrogressing to their old ways, and hopefully the impact will be so great it destroys them collectively. They've patented a new product called the "iGlove, " which utilizes finger movements to write and shit. A beta tester was BRAGGING about how he was able to use it to write an e-mail in ONLY 43 minutes.

GOD DAMNIT.

Are you talking about the MacBook Wheel? Because thats fake...

Of course the Apple ads still piss me off. Trying to pretend PCs are only for "Work stuff" is ridiculous.

Mac, for when you think you do.
Linux, for when you actually want to get something done.

And yes, I cringe every time I see the stupid Mac > PC commercials. Bring back the "I'm a PC, and I've been made into a stereotype" commercials. They were fucking true.

I agree, the new iPods are shite, but the classics are good.

Macs are better quality than the average PC, user friendly and they give good service. Windows is based off the Mac OS as well. They've slowed it down lately but point is, as you said, they should've died but they didn't and they're coming back stronger than ever.

About the iPhone, it's the interface and what it does for the average person that is good. Apps are often free or like $2 or less, and Urban Spoon (which you pointed out) is not $5.

You shouldn't hate on a more creative company that has done business well that Microsoft took ideas from, there are still more Windows users after all.

It sounds like you're bitter that they have been more innovative in production and marketing than Microsoft and others.
