I hate Apple. Overpriced-hipster-status-symbol. :yerright: Why are their computers $1000 more than others? Can you use them to open wormholes or something?

I swore I would never own an Apple product...and then my boss gave me his old iPhone. I hate it. It's a serial killer of time. I can't watch the videos I want to watch. It constantly "kicks me off" of whatever I am doing...I'm beginning to think it senses my disdain.:hmm:

My dog doesn't like it either. He's tried to nudge it outta my hand before. He gets mad if I check my email on it, talk on it, and he turns away from me or runs if I try to take his picture with it. I can't wait to chunk it(a friend is hooking me up with a different phone).

Did I mention they have pretentious marketing(aimed at their pretentious fans, I presume). It's like a cult.

Yeah, they're not in it for the money. That's why they go to arcane lengths to avoid paying tax:

mashable.com/2012/04/29/apple-avoids-taxes/

And employ people in sweatshops:

finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/app...cents-172800495.html

And they utilise companies to produce parts for them who are already using robot workers:



Isn't this why they're coming out with this bullshit in the first place, in a (probably successful) attempt to deflect people's attention away from this?

I think of this every time I see some trendy asshole driving around Atlanta with an Apple sticker on their hybrid car.

"Foxconn employees have a saying, "they use women as men and men as machines."
"It's so boring, I can't bear it anymore. Everyday is like: I get off from work and I go to bed. I get up in the morning, and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an animal," said Ms. Chen, who aspires to become a biologist.
When asked why humans do machine-like work at Foxconn, she responds, "Well, humans are cheaper."

Reminds me of something...

Humans are only cheaper than machines in China...for the time being lol.
In the west the blasted things are even tax deductible.
