Hello, Apple Fanboys.
I need you do something for me real quick. Quit staring at the picture of Steve Jobs you keep in your wallet, which probably has Apple logos stickered on from each iPod you bought because you could carry around three more songs, and listen to me.
I’ll give you a minute.
Ready? Let’s start this.
Apple treats you like its prison bitch and one that isn’t worth many cigarettes at that. All this commotion over the iPhone is pathetic.
“They took away our third party applications and broke our unlocking!”
Well, duh! What did you expect? I’m typing this on on a month old iMac right now. No where on it does it look like I can really change this to the way I want it to be. The hard drive, video card and processor are all locked away somewhere behind the beautiful twenty inch screen. I want to install Windows using boot camp, but apparently the boot camp license runs out when the glorified service pack called ‘Leopard’ comes out. Did you expect that Apple would let you run amok on its pretty little stock viewer? Apparently, a lot of you did. Oh no, they bricked your iPhone! It was a brick that played music and took calls when you bought the handicapped excuse for a Blackberry, which I don’t own either. Oh, and the price drop? How did it not take longer?! Really, you all bought a cell phone that cost that much?! Use your store credit or save it for iPhone 2 which you will all buy no matter how much Apple screws you this time around. Maybe this time will be different, or maybe this domestic dispute will continue on until the end of time. Probably the second.
Speaking of Leopard, how does Apple get away with charging for OS Service Pack 10.5?
Microsoft hasn’t even tried making you pay for those yet! Maybe you Jobs groupies should spend a few days in the life of a Windows user and see what’s it like to have money to spend on something other than new Apple products.
But, without those, where would you get the Apple stickers?

[...] the last time I’ve graced your Web browser I’ve been forced to reevaluate my take on an old post. I’m keeping my stance on the Mac but the iPhone has intrigued me. I have one now. [...]
