I generally love Apple products because they are efficient and have lasted longer than other devices. I have no feelings for the iPad, but it does not mean that it has not changed how tablets are now part of our world. (Plus I'm used to touchscreen, thus decision to get Nook STR!)
I have said this a couple of times before but I truly think that they are of better value to me. The Macbook I'm typing this on is 4 years old and going on strong (way less laggy than my sister's 1-year old HP laptop at 2/3 the price); I have had my 3G iPhone for 3 years, a wonder compared to all my other handphones which lasted me less than 2 years; my brother is still using my first iPod 5G which is now going on 6 years.
I mean, I can pretend to be cool yet produce less waste, because in this world, the brand name goes a longer way than the product's generation. A MacBook that is falling to pieces? It's still cool! Thank you. (Most of us buy things to be cool in our minds, no need for denial.)
I accidentally saw that picture while surfing the internet aimlessly yesterday, and I have regretted clicking on the link since. Steve Jobs is no less ambitious than most other people; he just happens to be successful. I hate paparazzi pictures. I wish him all the best in his private life!
