Are you being defensive because you paid three or four times as much money for something from Apple that is functionally equivalent to something from another company?

I don't know anything about marketing, but it's probably good marketing. It's helped to fool plenty of people into thinking that they're not the big bad company that they are. Including John Stewart, apparently.

I know almost nothing about computers. Never really interested me. I think Macs might be better for people like me, but maybe PC's are better for people who are really into computers and stuff. Dunno. But my 21.5 was pretty comparable price wise to PC all-in-ones. Plus, I got mine refurbed so it was actually cheaper than most of the mid to high end PC's.

The link chum sent was Apple vs Droid more than Apple vs PC.

And I think its pretty clear that the new line of Droids (Motorola, HTC Incredible, HTC EVO) will give Apple fits, if not surpass, even when the new iphone comes our this summer.

Yeah, sorry. I hadn't been in this thread for a while. I have a Samsung flip phone.

You thought right. They are adorable.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this. My favorite part was when Jobs informed his customers that they were holding their phones incorrectly.

That would make for a stupid thread. I'm more interested in people's misconceptions about Apple company, its products, and the brainsick Steve Jobs.

pissclams · « **Reply #140 on:** July 12, 2010, 08:10:32 PM »

What misconceptions about the company and its products? The people who bought the phone had every reason to believe it was as high quality of a product as the previous generations of the phone and would work as well as other Apple products which have historically led its industry in their reliability and build quality.

This one falls directly on Steve Jobs who has handled this mess in the worst way possible.

I just meant in general. Plenty of people think that Apple is one of the few good hearted companies in a world full of evil companies. Things like that. As for products, just last Friday a girl I work with was showing me why her iPhone was superior to other phones, yet nothing she showed me was a function unique to iPhone. I mean, I get it that there are a lot of dumb people out there. What's a lot harder for me to grasp is how these people don't even take a second to think about these things because they're too wrapped up in some sort of Apple consumer mania.

pissclams · « **Reply #145 on:** July 12, 2010, 10:21:30 PM »

Ya there's plenty of retards on both sides of the fence though.

You have to give apple their credit where it's due, most people (like the girl in your example) don't want to or can't figure out how to do the things they can do with their iphones on other phones like an android device.

Steve jobs is their greatest asset and their biggest risk, if Apple's board wasn't dominated by Steve Jobs, they'd be protecting their future and beginning the process of separating themselves some from him. Anything happens to him (or if he continues to pull jackass crap like has happened with the new iPhone 4) and Apple is screwed b/c people link Apple's success with him, which is appropriate because of his contribution to the company but it's too damn risky to do that. Notice how Microsoft and Bill Gates aren't synonymous as they once were.

You know you still have to buy the parts to put into the case, right?

Good luck concealing your cables in an inferior case.
