Apple has planetary dominance?
So I'm watching the tele and over the past year I've noticed something over and over again. It's Apple. It's in every TV show I can think of. No matter what laptop ppl are using, it's 99.9% Apple. How much are these ppl paying out to all the shows to stick their product in your face? Quite frankly I'm getting tired of them. I'm not saying they don't build a solid product, but I can't turn my head without an Apple product getting shoved up my ass. All the local electronic box stores promote the IPod like it's the only MP3 player available to the populous. A local top 40 radio station here in T.O always mentions the IPod. I think Apple bought them too... at least it looks like that. Most of their commercials on TV are constantly attacking PC's and is driving me up the wall. I compare them to Pepsi. Pepsi never could say that they had a superior product over Coke, but all their commercials were geared to attack Coke at every turn. The same goes with Apple. Always attacking both the PC world and Microsoft. They're not really showcasing what their computers can do and why it is so "superior" over PCs. They are giving their systems away to educational institutes to try and get the newcomers to the computer world hooked on their dam products.
Slowly Apple is trying to brainwash us all by making us beleive they are the only thing in the world.
The one thing apple is really good at is mass marketing.
I remember when I worked in a computer store, 99.99% of the people who came in looking for ipods had no idea that there were other mp3 players on the market. Most people won't bother doing their own research, they'll just regurgitate whatever commercials tell them.

Oh, they have been paid VERY well...
Apple is one of the only company's in consumer electronics, other than Microsoft that are true innovators of the industry.

What I find puzzling is how they have a superb OS (Mac) and give such a shitty support to iPod owners. Their firmware updates are shit, and their customer service to iPod owners is worse. Assholes.

ROFL i never saw this before..but its so fucking true. they are A LOT easier to force to crash than a pc. for shit sakes, we used to purposely find key combos that would make the mac reboot and require the system to be reinstalled. it wasnt that hard either!

See that's what I'm talking about.
You don't have to pay attention to Apple and by ranting about them you are inadvertently advertising for them.
