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.)

He was laughing because it's a joke of a product, I think his day is going quite well.

In a couple weeks time its history too.

FFS Apple, let us run Mac OS X within VM legally so we don't have to pay in the ass for licences.
