Dumb $hit (mostly) my friends send me...
Delia, I agree. I can't stand them as a company - just like Goldman sachs - manipulators with fake smiles, trying to brand themselves as the complete opposite of what they really are.

I have this purely pragmatic approach and actually would like to own one of the macbooks, the thin, light, robust casing and with the illuminated keyboard but only if I can install some linux on it.
Yes, people do actually dislike hypocrites and smugness - even if they do knock-out some great products!x9200 wrote:And this is how people see it!?JR8 wrote:If there is anyone left who still thinks Apple are, nice, hippy, counter-culture, anti-capitalist... in any shape or form - rather than probably the most exploitative, controlling and evil of the global corps...
