@v3rlon: I read thousands and thousands of comments at Tom's, this is one of the smartest. I do accept every opinion, I don't agree with every opinion, but a good opinion has to be simple enough for everyone to understand it, however it mustn't be short in sense and reason.
One can pick about anything and say about everything, as long as the justification that follows is connected with those same words, For example, if you consider yourself as an honest person, and not a liar, if you say you're going out with your girlfriend on Friday at 10PM at McDonald's, you better be on that day, at that hour, on that place with that person, or else your words won't match with your actions, and I don't care if you go to McDonald's or to some fancy restaurant, as long as you know why you go there, and if you have the money to pay for it, and the person you go there with, is it the person you want to go for a date with? If you know why you do what you do, then you should be able to explain it, and justify your choices, and prove through reason and not "just 'cause!" why you prefer something over anything else. I used Mac's for a lot of time, I hate not being able to do all kinds of stuff I do on a PC, I hate not being able to customise it, not being able to do what I want with it, of it not being what I want it be. I reach out to many Mac consumers I know, and as far as they can explain it to me, they want Mac's or iPhone's because everyone has one, and when I ask them why you personally prefer "This over that", they simply say it's better, but most of them come short to explain what they understand as better, because it's quite different from telling what's specifically better, and their "impression" of better, this "impression" is a direct input of Apple's marketing, anticipating and creating new trends, is a whole different point that creating something. Sure you've had a cell phone for years before an iPhone, but when the iPhone came to be, they didn't invent pretty much nothing, besides a new "arrangement" they sorted things out in a different way, so you'd see it from a different point-of-view, those who see it, like it, those who want to be different, feel so with a Mac, those who do what other's do, do it, but I must contest how can you really be different from anyone else, if you just have an exact copy of what the other has, what's different about that? What I really love about Apple is their product Design and clean "feels", but other than that it would be a stupid choice from my part to buy a Mac, it serves no purpose to me. But if it feels good to anyone else, please be free to buy one, and have one, just don't try to explain it if you aren't even able of "confessing" what's happening in your brain.
Anyway, I wonder what's on these Chinese workers mind's when they see a company like Apple make the profits they make. "Where do the profits go? These things sell by the millions, and you can add a couple of 0's to the money being made, why do I have to work at this dump and earn so little while these guys make all the profit?" I dare not talk about realities that are really apart from mine... But that's the basic that would cross anyone's mind.
