That is true however they still work well and get the job done, also last for a long time.

I agree with you for this one.

Apple used to innovate what's ordinary. Now, phones look ordinary just like Apple iPhone.

My macbook cannot upgrade from 10.4.8 to 10.6 for some reasons. I think it was Macbook 2006 or 2008.
Recently, the same Macbook got its charger broken so I have to buy one soon.

I honesty like apple. Well, I like their designs and the features they bring. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, an Apple iPod, and a Packard Bell PC. If I could choose, I would keep my phone and iPod, but buy a Mac instead. Simply because I like the design a lot and it has these awesome programs that allows me to be super-creative.

Please don't rage at me even though I like Apple thx.

I think you need to update it to 10.5.8 then to 10.6.

We need to stop these greedy corporations.

Did you hear that Apple now has more money than the US govt?

Please. I'm pretty sure that at this point Woody Allen has more money than the US government. It's not even an accomplishment anymore.

I have more money than the US government. You do to.

The US goverment has less than -$15,000,000,000,000

So unless you owe someone more than 15 trillion bucks, you have more money than the US government.

For the very minimum apple products I use, I would have to say that I like apple. I have been a PC user sense I my first computer, however the apple products seem decent enough, I would say they definitely have a better hold on the advertising business then Microsoft. I have only ever used a Macbook for the few times I have been in the store, the seem perfectly good as far as the average computer user is concerned.

I'm just disappointed with how they've stopped innovating lately... The iPod, iPhone, and iPad were all so creative, polished, innovative, and cool. Now... they've stopped. Look at the iPhone 4S and 5. Despite speed and camera improvements, the devices are almost exactly the same. They've stopped innovating, and although I hate to say it, I think it can be attributed to the death of Steve Jobs. He was the one really driving the company...

On a more personal level, I personally dislike iOS. There's nothing wrong with it; it's well designed, so if you find the interface and apps appealing, go ahead and use it. I myself just find it be... boring. It sounds like a silly complaint, but for me, it makes the entire OS really unpleasant to use...

On the other hand, I LOVE OS X. Everything is so smooth and fluid and polished and quick... it's a masterpiece (Okay, except for Lion. I don't like Lion, it isn't polished. Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion are better).

This is of course the often-inflammatory statement that no one ever agrees in, but I'll say it anyway because I think it's true: I myself believe that OSX is better than Windows, hands-down. Issue is, how much better? $500 better? $1000 better? Apple computers are just so darn expensive, buying a mac just isn't always economically feasible, no matter how good of an OS they run...

Well, I don't like you either.
lol, I'm just joking.

I agree with you on a lot of these statements, but to be honest, I like iOS sometimes. It depends, because I do not like things like the new design on App Store for my iPod, it crashes my iPod, it lags and is just way more messy than it was before the recent update.

Hahaha! Love this! And while I'm in love with OSX (running snow leopard atm), I'm pretty intrigued by Windows 8.

Good point.

@Hollabit I'm a big fan of OSX i'm running Windows 7 atm and at one point ill be installing OSX on it. Windows 7 just never preforms, looks and behaves like an OSX.

Was kind of reluctant to even open this thread because I really don't like Apple. Really the only products I would ever use would be the iPhone and iPod Touch.

EDIT: was going to go on a rant but decided not to.

I gave up on Apple a long time ago. I have an enormous amount of respect for Steve Jobs, but Apple as a company is just a big sack of disappointment and hypocrisy. The company died with Steve.

Oh come now, I remember what you said on Twitter. You've hated Apple since long before Steve Jobs died.
