I did say people who like apple and tell others about that, Im assuming thats what you meant by Fanboy?

You can't think of why someone standing around saying *x* company makes the best equipment based on brand name alone is helpful? They gloss over the downsides or negative aspects of the equipment involved, and turn it into a 'fashion item', and you can't see why that's wrong?

I cant see why that only applies to Apple? as far as i am aware that happens with every product and manafacturer.


Interesting. No real point, but interesting. - I speak from observation of majority known to me not knowledge of all. Come to think of it, neither do you.
We are clearly both excellent at making assumptions

Now then, no-one called you stupid! There, there. Calm down, and go play with your Apple toys. They'll make you feel better!
You implied that quite clearly, by suggesting i buy the product due to propaganda. I dont see why you feel the need be mocking anyone on here unnecessary imo

I don't hand over my mobile phone for playing with.
And I only show off my liseuse very occasionally (if asked) because eink displays are still a great novelty here (few have seen them at all).
But that has nothing to do with what I said, in my experience people want to look at new gadgets and Im more than happy to let anyone i Meet play with anything of mine.

My fingers have feelings too! It's not THEIR fault I can't dial a phone number using a iPhone using them now, is it?
They should go on an apple diet

Apple manipulate the market so that their operating system can only be used on a very small range of Apple-blessed hardware and that's a positive?
Doesn't make the hardware perfect.
manipulate? bit strong for me, their software is designed to run on their hardware and they protect that right and the law agrees with them. I doubt Sony would be happy if I hacked their latest PRS firmware to work on other ereaders either.

We the disaffected. (Unofficial spokeschook.)

Two Apple mistakes - how about the flickering iMac display issues and those pesky Macbook cases flaking apart, for starters?
Again I dont disagree but the fact is Apple arent unique in that.

Well there always has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. - - just check it isn't the headlamp of the fast oncoming train!
