People Who Use Apple Products

They act like they're such mavericks because they use an Apple computer instead of Microsoft Windows like most people do. Go to most any coffee shop, and you'll see at least one of these posers showing off their latest $1799 abomination. This is their way of sticking it to the "man". Many of these people want to be seen as individuals and have identity issues and show it in the way they choose to waste their money. Nevermind that it's a publicly-traded company, but whatever.

They often scan around the room, seeking out any Windows user so they can receive some satisfaction that they're somehow better than any unfortunate soul who is still in the dark ages. Don't get me wrong, Steve Jobs makes a good product, but the user base is all wrong! The simple fact is most people and most companies simply cannot afford a slew of old Apples, let alone new ones, thus Apple retains their "only for the wealthy and the foolish" image and the peoples' money. How diabolically clever!

Exhibit A:



Somehow, this logo means you're better than regular folk...

Most of those who purchase an Apple are people who are mad at and otherwise harbor a grudge against Microsoft, so they go out and buy an underpowered yet overpriced "screw you" to Windows. "Apple computers don't crash, and are just better than Windows; it's easier to use too." they attempt to point out. Yeah, I don't see how it's easier, since most of the world is used to Windows, but whatever. I even heard this one guy say "Macs can't get viruses." I'm pretty sure he was high, but that's neither hear nor there.

Lemme explain some things to you folks who don't know. If it has an operating system, (Windows, OSX, Linux, etc.), it can get viruses. Once OSX and Linux get more market share, hackers will gleefully waste their time writing viruses for them. The one thing that these people fail to realize is that if you don't work in the Graphic Arts, Web, Photography, or Music industries, you do not have any damn business buying of these abortions. Do they not know that Microsoft makes money off them anyway, because they have a lot of stock in Apple? Why else haven't they created their own version of Office by now?

People who own Apple computers typically either own or are trying to own an iPhone as well. They've never owned a devices equipped with Windows Mobile and they just know iPhone is better. Granted, iPhone has a slick interface, but do I really need to be draining it's remaining life force so they can watch YouTube clips? I watch video on my iPod. As long the phone does what it's supposed to do, why would you need all that other stuff? It's like as long as it's Apple, who cares if it's on this underpowered (sensing a theme here?) 3G network?

Exhibit B:



"Sorry I couldn't pick up, but I just had to play Super Monkey Ball some more!"

Are you still in Dark Ages like many of us, because the only way out is to go Apple! Diabolically clever, don't you think?
