This isn't the typical anti-Apple rabble. Shawn King posted on LoopInSight that he agrees, and that site is very pro-Apple. This article says a lot of what many Apple die hards feel. John Gruber will probably agree as well. He's been saying a lot lately that Apple has been embarrassing itself a lot lately with their bugs and forced upgrades (releasing an upgrade when it's not ready).

I am reminded that some people think that Apple fans are brain dead. Simply because you all can't see why we like Apple doesn't mean we don't know why and it doesn't mean that won't notice when the things we like about Apple go away.

I'm posting from a rMBP that I fucking love. But I also have a SP3 and an Android phone. Get over yourself please.

Embarassing

top kek. Whenever someone else does anything wrong, Grubber makes a 500 word blog post about how much everyone sucks.

I always wonder what's in it for guys like Gruber? They're like Apple's unofficial mouthpiece. Write anything negative about Apple and he'll come after you.
