I am not calling you a dumbass because you dont like the apple product. You are a DUMBASS because you find it so freaking difficult to connect ur iPod to ur PC and then SYNC it. How dumb can you get? Ok you call iPhone an Over Hyped phone. Really? have you sat and thought about it? just do a google and check the phones before and after iPhone. Every popular manufacturer is going for the same concept. Poor Nokia stayed stubborn in denial that its the age of iPhone like you, got Doomed. Guess what if you didnt know it yet... Nokia has developed a new software "Meego" which surprisingly LOOKS and ACTS like an iPhone. So is it really hyped? Hey you have nothing bad to say about the Macbook? surprising huh?... well i have something to tell you. Its "An" Apple.. not "A" Apple. Well you are too dumb and i dont feel you will understand if i rant about the great features of Max OSX or iOS Everyone know which one is better. and now Windows 7 finally came bak to its sense and copied a lot of features of Mac OSX. so there you go. Sit and think. Well about putting "i" on the name why dont you start by "i"diot in ur name. Its called BRANDING. and I am sure you dont understand it. Its surprising that you have problem with what they call their products but yet totally understand and applaud Windows Selling the same shit with different names. "Windows Home" windows Professional" "Windows Enterprise" Windows Basic "Windows for iDiots" like you... You Have Fun with Windows. its good for you. Not everyone deserves the best OS in the world. Some people has to use windows too. Everyone cannot be lucky to enjoy OSX. You go Boy.... thats the Spirit... Windows is Nice.,... (hahahahah) Psssttt.. guys .. please dont tell him truth... let him be in his dream world call windows... oops.. BLUE SCREEN Hey DUMBASS..

Americans are obsessed with aesthetics. It's why they watch reality TV, buy SUV's, listen to FOX "News" and it is precisely why they drink they Apple Kool-Aid. The commenter that said "if you try using one, you'll understand" is just another delusional sheep who reveres form over function. Wanna hang out in a hipster coffee shop and update your Facebook page about your favorite William S. Burroughs book (which you've never actually read)? Get an Apple. Want to get something done? Go Windows (for the novice) or Linux (for the expert). Apple charges too much, locks everything down, insists on using proprietary hardware and software, and is an impediment to technological progress in general. They're better at advertising than they are at producing a useful product. Just like Bose, Chrysler and other notable companies, they know they can produce junk as long as they spend billions convincing ignorant people that it's something they need. Professional turd-polishers. Disclaimer: I am an American, for now. If there are any Europeans reading, can I come live over there instead? You’re right, right, RIGHT!

Yes, everything Apple does manufacture has been given attention to detail but the cons outweigh the pros. First you have to buy apps to be able to do the simplest thing like sending a photo to another smartphone because. And that not only costs 15 euros but is also ONLY available on JAILBROKEN iphones because Jobbs believes that my iphone to freaking important to connect to other smartphones. I loved the iphone when I bought it yes it is very pretty and has nice games and graphics but every single day I feel like Apple owns my jailbroken phone because most of the simplest things like watching flash are a hassle to do or are not even available. Other phones are being just as good if not even better and don't need you to spend a fortune to perform the simplest things. Everyone at work though are obsessed about Apple products and spend their lives working to pay the overly priced Jobbs' products... such a nice life...

So you're finally home, you start your computer to register your brand new device (and that is soooo stupid) and you happen to see somewhere on the web that there's another brand new ipod or whatever even more advanced and supercharged with crap we don't use or need. So why in hell they keep selling products when a new launch is coming!

I've got so many friends and colleagues from different areas and foreigners that actually prefer Mac over PCs, not because of the "status" people think to get when carrying an Apple device, but for the looks and user friendly interface. Yes, Apple computers (Ibook, Macbook, Macbook Pro, etc.) Media players (Apple TV, Ipod) and handsets (Iphone, all generations) They all look good, they have ergonomic designs and when opening an Apple purchase box whatever it is, you are sure it's a nice, advanced and high quality product, they are all wrapped with plastic covers and protectors for almost every single inch of it and yes, you were charged for all those useless plastic protectors that will end up thrown away (And I know it when I had my Ibook G3 delivered a few years ago. I opened up the box, there was another box, a smaller box and opened the smaller box and found the box that contained the actual laptop, and I was like "what's the deal with the whole overprotection it's just a laptop".) But it was all worthy because I still use that computer once in a while, when traveling and when you don't want your brand new laptop gets stolen or lost or damaged. It's never given me any trouble at all. I can tell you, Apple may seem to be a little overpriced compared to other same kind devices but when it comes to quality and durability Mac is the option and it's worth every single penny you pay for it.

I can't stand Apple. It is way over-priced and over-hyped. I have a few Apple products and I just don't see what the fuss is all about but I suppose if you spend a few hundred dollars on an MP3 player, you will want to act excited just to comfort yourself.

Macs are superb hardware, in a great design with a stable, virus free OS. It isn't perfect, but compared to the PC, the default settings are so good, it just works out of the box. No annoying pop ups, no endless customisation, spell check in all applications, text to voice so you can get the computer to read to you (handy while making tea and having the Mac read the paper to me in the morning), beautiful display and rich media controls and creation. Apple takes time to design their applications and hardware. They are not simply trying to tick off that they added this feature or that feature. They may even have less features on their iPhone compared to other phones but their implementation of it is better and hence more useful. I have to say though that OSX has more features than Windows and beats it completely. Hi – You probably don’t get Apple because you haven’t actually used a Mac or an iPhone.
