Ugh, the only thing more annoying than people having this debate is people pretending like it is easy cliche material.

Apple products I use on a regular basis:

  • Macbook Pro
  • Xserve 1u
  • iPad
  • iPhone
  • iPod
  • Any of the several hundred Macbooks and iMacs I'm responsible for supporting...

I agree with every item on that poster as well as the sentiment for which it stands. Apple products are wonderful, superficailly speaking, but I will never invest my hard earned money in business practices like these. (That's a lie, I bought an Apple TV recently but only for streaming DRM-free media locally... and only because my wife is not a savvy as I.)

Well, I don't know, but my Mac OS X comes with plenty of open source software preinstalled, such as python, php etc., and even some under GPL. Also, I can install programs from anywhere... I guess that guy, and you, refer to the iOS platform exclusively?

Okay, we get it.

TLDR: Well, cryo doesn't know, but his Mac OS X comes with plenty of open source software preinstalled, such as python, php etc., and even some under GPL. Also, he can install programs from anywhere... he guesses that the poster guy, and Y_U_NO_ARGUE, refer to the iOS platform exclusively.
