If ever there was an apple fanboi...

[g00dhum0r]

Not saying Macs are bad or anything but I would prefer a Windows/Linux box anyday over a Mac.  According to the people, apple is an "innovator".  They get credit for touchscreens and mp3 players.  Mp3 players have been around years before Apple came out with the IPOD and so have touchscreens.  I remember carding 3 sony mp3 player pen/sticks in 1998 which had 32mb of RAM lol.  It really pisses me off when people think Ipods and Apple made the first mp3 players.  They just came out with it at the right time and marketed the product real well to the 'average' consumer. Sure apple added their knowledge and research to their devices as much as stealing ideas, but the main reason Apple is famous is because of their Marketing Strategy.  Part of their strategy is make innovative products - Iphone..probably the slimmest touch screen phone there was when it first came out..that's because Steve Jobs took the prototypes and threw them in a fish tank and said if any bubbles come out, it means there's too much empty space -- my professor for one of my Masters IS classes told us the story.  Sure apple is good for Art students, and a requirement for art majors in the college i graduated from.  Basically taking risks and having a marketing team convince people they need devices that they don't really need is their expertise -- .  "Plus their 'easy to use' OS."  Everytime i see someone with an iphone i assume that they don't know much about IT -- but that's just my opinion and I am being too judgmental but I hate iphones.  One thing Apple did right is make their phones very smooth in transitioning - something my S3 is not very capable of, even with a 'fast' rom.

That being said, I do not think an Apple is a 'Tech guys' platform. I believe that the phones are too locked and Itunes is retarded.  Android gives more freedom and therefor more 'techy' because we like to tinker with things.  Sure you can jailbreak an iphone but I would still prefer an android.  I still want a macbook for browsing the web and what not, but I wouldn't do anything serious on it - I think I am just attracted to their display.


And as far is this Apple Fanboi dude, he's lucky he can afford all that shit.  If it were me I would've chose a variety of devices such as oranges vs apples, but to each his own.  I didn't even watch the video to be honest. lol

ALL PRAISE THE NECROMANCER!!!

Microsoft stole from apple, apple stole from xerox, xerox stole from somebody else probable, Apple stole from microsoft, and i stole from apple. It's all about marketing, Bill gates was better at stealing things and marketing than he was in programming. Steve was better in designing product people want to buy for a shitload of money (and using lsd) than he was in programming/developing.

I remember seeing a video where they said  and explained, how apple took two great products, combined them, and then sued the creator(s) of the two latter ideas. Will try to find it when I'm home in two hours.

ALL PRAISE THE NECROMANCER!!!

how so?

anyway yeah, everyone jacked from everyone else and that's how we ended up where we are...started from garages ended up as multimillionaire corporations. 

or billionaire lol

faction no one stole from xerox, they invented the modern PC....then gave it away, because their board of directors thought their was no money in it....lol. Anyway yeah honestly looking at a "who is more evil" between MS vs Apple i have to go with Apple, MS stole the GUI, then took some ideas from linux, which hey its open source...Apple on the other hand, and this is a brief list to give a general idea: Stole ideas then to add to the joy SUED the creators, markets old ideas as if they are the first to do them, has shit security then blames all fraudulent charges on the end user and not on them being hacked(again), proprietary, sue happy enough to make its employees commit suicide over loosing a prototype... seriously this list goes on for pages. Not saying MS hasnt pulled some BS in its day(couch xbox one), but when looking at an over all picture...not even close. Hell even comparing the two CEO's Bill has been doing more charitable work by FAR over Steve, as people and as companys i know whos products i would rather support.(for the record Black Mesa)
