    @juise: i paid $260 for 8gb ddr3 ram on my macbook pro a couple of months ago. They should be closer to $200 now. Yes, it's still under warranty and i plan to extend the warranty to 3 years or so if by the end of the first year, there's no interesting new models pimped.

    @sdesai: ok. Let me write a rant against India. Please excuse any inaccuracies or mistakes, because I've never actually lived there or even been there. But I've read a LOT about it and I have higher than average cognitive/reasoning abilities.
    Take it or leave it.

    Maybe this thread should have been titled:

    "Criticize things you don't know about"



    ( Taken fron a song called "Grandmother's Song" - written by Steve Martin

    Sample lyric: “Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus / Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent / Criticize things you don't know about / Be oblong and have your knees removed.”)

    Well, there is nothing to hate or love about Apple. Just buy the phone that meet your daily needs. That is why people picked what they want their phone can do for them

    Well, to my point, I experience their prices almost every time when shopping for laptops/gadgets. And I experience them too high for me.

    Yeah, I know, I'm just *****in' cause I'm poor...

    I would agree with your statement if it weren't for the fact that not everybody picks the phone that can do what they need for them.

    1) Some people have no choice (no, I'm not going get into a philosophical argument about what choice involves or defining choice). For example, if you want an iPhone but want to stay on Verizon. You have no choice.

    2) Some people don't do enough research (hint: if your not happy with the device as is when purchasing, return it and get another device). Or wait a few months to see what problems there are and what not.


    Anyway..

    iTunes argument. I'm not sure if there were any other online music stores, but Apple should at least be credited with pushing the sales of digital music online. I don't like iTunes myself (I prefer Amazon MP3 or 7Digital) but those stores wouldn't be as good as they are today if it weren't for iTunes.

    Likewise, Angry Birds may have been developed for another platform (not bothering with time arguments), but it's because of the IOS platform that it's created as it is today.

    Like it or not, Apple popularizes features that may or may not be present in existing technology. Much like Nintendo popularizing the use of motion in videogames. What they (as companies, rather than brand name) do helps the industry evolve.Otherwise it would be relatively stagnate. Heck look at how Android has forced Apple to change. Competition is good, it is the basis of capitalism.

    Just leave the fanboyism out of it.

    I did, so that anyone looking for them could find the thread.

    Seriously, it's what these threads always become. And yes, polarizing over devices and technology is a form of religion.
