You don’t like Apple because you think people who choose Macs are dicks?
You don’t like Apple because you think Steve Jobs is a dick?
I pick a particular technology because it works. The choice for most people is Windows or Mac. That’s a no-brainer – Mac. Windows is a horrible OS and Bill Gates and Steve Balmer are total dicks.
For me the choice was Linux or Mac. I love Linux, but you’re still a second-class citizen on the Web with Linux. When OSX came out and I could run all my development tools on Mac, I immediately switched.
Linux is still my server platform of choice, but anyone who’s serious about technology can’t really make the case that Windows is a better OS. Sure if you’re a 14-year-old and want to play games – maybe.
You’re reason for harshing on Mac reminds of me of Dennis Miller’s reason for becoming a conservative. Evidently a friend of his called Giulliani a Nazi for how he was cracking down on crime in NY. So because that one person said something stupid, and was a liberal, he changed his entire ideology. As if no conservative has ever said anything stupid.
And that’s the same with your logic. Because there are some jerks who own Macs – you’ll never own one. Think for yourself and who cares what other people do or say. There’s no shortage of jerks in all circles.
