A meeting of Apple Droolers Anonymous, how tedious!
Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!
Crowd: [in unison] Yes! We're all individuals!
Glad to hear about your retirement account, now I can sit here and laught at you with you being solely driven by money! Why do you make yourself look so vapid and shallow?I
I'll just take my superior knowledge of software (BeOS) and hardware (DEC Alpha x64 chips) and go. As usual, Apple can buy up superior companies (AuthenTec) and let others do the R&D. WIFI? We didn't need to call it airport because there's no need to have multiple names for the same technology ("The AirPort card (a repackaged Lucent ORiNOCO Gold Card PC Card adapter)..." & " Apple introduced AirPort Extreme, based on the 802.11g...").
Maybe an open mind can help your desperate need to conform to a restricted, blinkered use of technology? I still laugh at people who insist on using a particular technology based on its social status rather than any actual functionallity (which, of course, they don't know how to take full advantage of). Self-obssessed, confirmation bias-prone individuals decided Apple products must be great because everyone else they know who loves Apple says so. Bad reasoning, huh? Lookup "Technological change" to learn what the rest of the world enjoy, and then throw off your tunnel vision.
