Brainwashing and irrational biases work both ways.

If you cannot make a coolheaded reply to this topic... if you cannot think straight when you hear a certain brand/platform name spoken...

...consider yourself a biased, brainwashed, some type of fanboy :)

Their over commercialisation. Their inflated marketing claims. The fact they create isheep. Their closed systems that try to make it difficult for people to move on to other devices. e.g if you buy an ipod and create tons of playlists you would lose all your playlists if you moved on to another mp3 player. This is just a basic example. There are other more significant examples. Their closed system which prevents you treating your apple device as your own even though you have paid for it. Their childishness and lies that prevented them acknowledging the iphone 4 anthena issue.

1. I have no need for itunes, nor be restricted or tied down to itunes, be it sweet or not. Just need a decent mass storage filesystem

2. I wasn't forced to use windows, I love windows but I also love linux with new stable kernels.

3. The first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, launched in 1992, I'm very sure apple was not the first creative or innovative company to jump onto the touchscreen wagon even though they did make a attractive capacitive screen.

4. I'm very sure angrybirds will be there for any other operating system even without apple. I had my fill of angrybirds, time for me to move on the greener pastures

Lastly I do not hate apple but I do have my fair share of dislikes for them, that includes the itunes i mentioned on point 1.

sweet Jesus, I usually don't answer to posts like this, but this is just how an mr. avarage imagines the world of "internets". It's a serious business, you know...

What do I have against Apple? Nothing effective, yet...

I don't like the way they try to monopolize the market, lying, and stealing tech, claiming stuff and convert the majority of it's users to sheep. And then charging over a thousand of euros for the 'first phone with videocalling' (what is that, wifi? 4g-4g?)

I don't like nokia enaugh to be a fanboy cause we need more support. But I suppoose I would never buy an Apple product (except maybe a simple mp3 player that is)

Well music stores have been invented by Napster, as far as I know, even if no money was involved;
several other GUI operating systems are and were available for good people to use, including OS/2, AmigaOS, AtariOS, GEM, and of course GNU/Linux;
/me had a Sony Ericsson P800 very many years before Steve Jobs thought of making a cell phone;
and as regards angrybirds, well, developers would have done it for any other OS where money were :D
