...and a great percentage of their users, unfortunately. I can spot mac users almost as better as I can spot Jehovah's Witnesses.
AceHigh:
Steve Jobs is great at "iconic marketing". Little else.

Give Steve Wozniak some credit, you swine.
Of course, why don't we let the inventors, engineers, scientists and designers who are responsible for that nifty iPhone you have be invisible in the background and instead hail a businessman as your saint and saviour. You make me sick.
This thread is now about Steve Wozniak who made the first Apple 1 and 2 computers. May he forever be given the fair credit for his work.
Kyrdua:
^ THAT.
I don't hate the guy. I mean he got rich and all, he must be doing something right. So instead, I say I hate his guts/company.
apple was probably the first justin beiber because:
* Proprietary bullcrap and DRM worse than MS's.
* Vendor locking. get apple hardware and you can't use 3rd party stuff.
* The abomination that is known as iTunes.
* The abomination that is known as iPod Shuffle 3G.
* Holding back features in multigeneration gadgets (e.g. Shuffle)
to expound
* no explanation needed.
* That expensive ass proprietary earphone.
* Bloated Crap. I just wan't something to put music in my ipod/play music. a fresh install consumes 50~ MB on idle for the love of fuck. The iTunes Store thing is nice for legal stuff. I'll give them that. but integrating Quicktime in itunes is overkill. I seriously don't need that lame excuse of a decoder/player.
* Proprietary earphones (and the epic troll that is 4G, where the buttons made a comeback, see next point), cannot be properly managed with anything but iTunes.
* Holding back features. They remove the buttons on 3G and put em back again on 4G. because they apparently realized the obvious after getting your money. I hear they did the same thing on iPhone.
TMRNetShark:
I think Steve Jobs is great at what he does... he also makes a lot of money on name brand and not the actual product. Just look at the iPhone... most features, if not all features, are on other phones with a lot less gr$$n. Just because "Apple" made it... it just has to be better.
This leads to my next point... which is that I hate people who use Apple products. Why? Cause they think they are better because they spent more money. I think that's dumb because I saved money, got the same product (or a lot better) and still have money left over!
