Not much - perhaps the messiah-like marketing and the cult of their followers. All the nothing in the App Store. Or that I sold my shares in them way too early :-) The too-close control of everything and yourself - but perhaps this is simply the price for everything they do well:
The quality of their hardware design and marketing execution. How they make technology accessible for Mum and Dad and Kid, converting the computer into a consumer device (I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro while doing iPhone app development.)

Still, I prefer the liberty and frontier-experience that Maemo/Meego gives me for mobile devices. The good contacts and open source / communication. That you can make a difference and aren't drowning in 200'000 crapps :-)
And on the desktop, I prefer Windows for the rich environment and the unlimited possibilities, the high efficiency of doing everything.

Ah the world - it's not as simple as some think :-)

Now you've learnt your lesson. Don't blindly defending Apple for the technology they said they invented it. The real answer is they didn't invent anything other than steal it and rename to make it theirs. Not to mention multitouch, Apple didn't invented it.

Just popped by Reddit and seen this - thought it might help people understand why some people get irritated by Apple.

Hehe, it seems Apple may actually be the owners of the original touch screen phone concept:



This concept phone dates to around 1983, although it never made it to the shelves of shops.

As for the original post comments, meh - I can't really be bothered. I don't hate Apple - I just dislike the manner in which they operate as a company. I don't much like the way Nokia operate that said, but at least I'm not as risk of this just for wanting to fiddle with my hardware's capabilities:

I hope to god that's a fake but then the EFF are a pretty respectable organisation as far as I'm aware...
