It's hard for me to understand why people feel the need to be angry and work so hard to fight, argue and bite at the ankles of such a powerful and successful company. I can guarantee more than half of the people below have never owned an Apple product besides maybe an iPod. In which case they should quit their yammering and experience Apple products first hand before they judge the devices and the company so harshly (and no, playing around for 10 minutes in an Apple store doesn't count). So many people have come to hate Apple it has turned into a trend. "Let's hate on Apple, it's what all the cool kids do!" People are just breeding hate and it's patetic. Stand back for a second. Ask yourself why you feel the need to tear down a company brimming with inovation and success. Sure Apple didn't invent the smartphone, the MP3 player, the tablet, or even the computer. But you know what they did do? They popularized each and everyone of those devices. They single-handedly brought the personal computer that we know today into existence. Before Apple, people laughed at the idea of families owning a computer. Before Apple, smartphones were just for business people. Before Apple, tablets were just fancy gadgets you saw on CSI with no relevance to the consumer. That is why they are successful, that is why Apple is one of the most valuble companies in the world. Apple has popularized 4 major devices within the last 35 years. It wasn't until AFTER Apple started the hype that other companies even considered producing smartphones and tablets on the scale they are sold today. So why tear them down so harshly? Are you jealous? Were you just taught to hate them? (for the record I am an avid user of both Windows and OSX machines, but since I doubt my little speech has had any effect on the haters I will just sit back and watch as the hate arrives)
