[citation][nom]ta152h[/nom]You can act like you're anything you want on the internet, but the only people that hate so much are losers who have pain, and blame someone else for it. It's one thing to say Apple isn't for me, it's another to say someone should be dead because you don't like what they sell. That's a loser that's bitter because he hates the winner because of the way the winner makes him feel.You're a complete follower, and the funny thing is, you call them iSheep. You're a Microsoft Zombie, who can't think for himself, wants to fit into the crowd, and gets off on insulting a company that never made him or her buy anything. Your comments are the same as virtually everyone's here; the voice of the embittered poor and losers . Stop being a head of cattle. Allow that people have a right to make a choice you don't agree with. The world will be fine without you making everyone's decision for them, I swear it. Apple offers choices, creates new markets, and sets a standard that even you benefit from. Cry and whine all you want that people buy their stuff even though you don't think they should. You sound like a self-important kid. When you grow up, and are happy that people have choices, and respect they don't always agree with yours, you might be able to find a place of your own, and make enough money to afford a new Apple product, if you wish. Until then, you'll just be just another head of cattle, spitting out bile. Like everyone else. Talk about sheep...[/citation]
He feels sorry for you, you garner his pity, you could have used that money to buy something that would do much more and with the money you save taken the kids to Disneyland.

I don't feel sorry for anyone, if you choose Apple it's a free world and you go ahead and do it, but don't try to convince anyone that you buy a Macbook or OSX because it is better than an equivalently priced PC laptop with Window because it isn't.

I have a friend who bought the crappest car ever with shitty gas mileage, tendancy have the engine break down at the first gust of wind and seats that only the elephant man would find comfy but they bought it because it was an expensive red sports car that makes him look cool. I envy him for that first 5 seconds as he races away, knowing I saved a bundle on my car which goes just as fast, but uses half the gas, never breaks down and is really big and comfy.

So Apple fans, just admit you bought Apple because you think it looks cool, it is just as valid a reason and probably the most honest answer you will ever give. The iPhone does make you look cool, if Fonzy had a smartphone it would be an iPhone too. But is it better? It's not me you are lying to, it's yourself.
