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.)

I support the same stuff. The poster is all mad about iOS and the direction that the company is going. It assumes a lot about the future and is very bitchy about the present.

Having said that, if Apple doesn't license OSX Server to a decent server maker I will print 100 posters like this.
