Superthread LXXIV: Remembering Dead Musicians Who You Now Pretend to Like

[Red Bear]

My dislike for apple revolves around a reinforcement of constantly needing new stuff and discarding old stuff, which they aren't alone in but they've been at the forefront of promoting.

 

[t-ba]

Hell of a marketing machine but.

Look at the mp3 player. The original nomad (1999?) shat on a great height all over the original ipod but creative are now relegated to the edges of the market.

I got my grandfather an iPad because it is easier for the uninitiated but I am so used to android now I struggle with ios.

 

[Misanthrope]

Except they pinched almost everything from someone else.

I don't like Apple stuff, but I couldn't care less what people use. But there's no way they've innovated a fraction of what they claim to have

Welcome to every tech company ever.

People hate on Apple too much. The majority of the technology that is now in play is due to Apple innovation. They can't help that hipsters have ruined it for everyone.

Yeah nah. It's due to Apple buying patents. Nothing to do with innovation.

Got one apple product. It was faulty out of the box.

6 hours on the phone before they agreed to replace it at an apple shop.

When I got there I had to wait for nearly 2 hours past my appointment time because the place was flooded with people needing to get their brand new yet faulty electronics replaced.

First and last apple product. No thanks.

I've had an Apple product in my life one way or the other since I was five.

My first computer was an Apple IIe and my last Apple computer was one of those pink jellybean iMacs. I eventually switched so I could game.

Since switching away from Apple computers, I've had the iPad classic and shuffle, three iPhones, an iPad, and even owned one of their ill-fated Newtons.

Never had a problem with any of them, amazingly.

So apparently there is an axe throwing place in Newtown now...

For me that was my first and last Apple

:lol: Not the best reflection of Apple's attention to aesthetics, but probably had a larger games library than modern Macs.

Darn crazy American girls...

Christmas trading for work is mental. Why anyone wants to sell their soul for a career has me bewildered...

More and more people in country whomdon't really celebrate Christmas probably helps, andnthen there are thise sneaky orthodox pricks buying bargain bin easter eggs and tinsel for their 12 days later celebrations.
