Apple is doing some terrible things, and I don't like to see people supporting them. I have every right (and duty) to call Apple users out on their enabling of Steve Jobs's vendetta against consumers. I don't deny their right to use those products, but if I see a chance to educate people a bit about them I will take it.
Apple did some great things in the past (they gave us $1 digital music, their computers used to be among the best, the original iPhone did a lot to get Google and Microsoft to create better platforms), but today they represent the worst of the tech world.
I couldn't care less if someone shares my views or not, but I do care when someone has a view that I feel is not informed. I am really saddened by how much marketing has come to replace facts and objectivity in peoples' decision making these days. And Apple is one of the major contributors and benefactors of that.

Yet again, this is your opinion. You are welcome to it.
I will use whatever product by whatever vendor that works for me as I see fit. You are welcome to do the same. What you are not welcome to do is to judge someone else based on your
opinion.
