Apple fashion
>> Apple is in the fashion business. What they do is market proprietary, non-upgradable, closed systems to people who are looking for social acceptance through the ownership of un-needed, over-priced, gadgets whose functionality has become predictable and whose appeal is ephemeral. They're the electronics industry's equivalent of Jimmy Choo or Prada...
This stuff gets really old. I own and use a few Apple products. Not one of those was purchased because I give two craps what some guy on the bus thinks about my choice in hardware. I even have one computer running OS X because, for its intended purpose, that was the best OS available.
I'm sure there are just as many fans of Droid, or a particular Samsung whatever, because they're "non-conformists". Whatever. Stupid reason to spend money.
That said, the patent trolling is getting re-damn-diculous. Enough already. It's all been done before. Get over it and compete on the basis of merit like everyone else.
