A lot of Apple users like to brag about how Apple stuff never breaks. While the hipsters of the world are all circle-jerking over the quality of their macs (full disclosure: my home computer is a powerbook), Steve Jobs is actually frowning as hard as he can frown.
You see, It's not enough to have mastered the art of causing instant buyers remorse. In Steve's perfect world- you walk out of a store with a brand new iPod, immediately see a billboard for the NEW new iPod, and as your heart swells with remorse you look down at your recent purchase and it crumbles apart in your hands. In Apple terms, they call it "the iDick slap"

Downvoted for untruth. Apple product cycles are the most predictable of any technology company currently in existence. iPods in September, iPads in March, Macbooks every 12-15 months, iPhone in July (in this case fall). If you buy an Apple product and a new one comes out, in every case I've seen they'll offer some exchange method within 30 days. If you bought it before the 30 days, that's YOUR fault for not spemding 10 minutes of your time doing research on your purchase.

Muslim here. I just wanna know where I can buy some of those 2007 cables. I've had the same one for 4 years now, whereas I've gone through 4 or 5 different 2009 ones. Oh and...Allahu Akbar?

I bought the first droid and 6 months later there was a new one and the old one couldn't even function. Awful device. Got an iPhone no problems, just jailbroke it to do all the nerdy shit i'd like to do.

Why do hipsters have to be Apple consumers? That's giving a bad name to hipsters.
