They realized this and sell the nexus 7 for a loss. iCloud is cloud backup and it’s free Apple unfucked the rip off music industry people seem to forget this also I have owned every brand laptop and multiple android devices the apple stuff is far better and cost more. Guess what Cadillac replacement parts cost more then Saturn parts… ---

Apple never dumbed down the smart phone… A smart phones were never complicated Just like you guys have no grasp of how AOL actually was and state of the internet at the same it was huge. As the internet grew and evolved AOL ended up tanking in Apples case as smart phones evolve they continue to do well ---

Which is why Apple is a soon to be trillion dollar company. They’ve made the products work fine for anyone willing to spend 10 seconds learning how to use them, but have also found a way make the people not willing to do that more than happy to pay so they don’t have to. I’ll give them credit too, they start the minute you drink the coolaid. I got my first iPhone at the Apple Store in the mall. It’s a douchey place that I don’t like, but I have to admit they were all as helpful as could be. “Step over here and we’ll help you activate it. Over here we’ll help you move your contacts. Over here we’ll show you how it works”. I just took my phone and ran away as fast as possible, but looking back over my shoulder I could see lots of people being sucked into the cult of Mac. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > WHY ARE CASH REGISTERS TOO FUCKING MAINSTREAM?! > Electronic cash registers (ECRs) cost $110-$800 or more, but for $200-$300 you can get a basic model with a thermal printer, a built-in pole to display prices to the customer and a locking cash drawer. **The more sophisticated registers are usually part of a computerized point of sales system, which can cost anywhere from $1,500-$20,000, depending on the level of sophistication** 378 Apple Stores worldwide \* at least 5 registers per store \* $4000 for the type of real time updating computer register they’d need = 7.56 million dollars. Or you could just do it on an iPad practically for free since you build them. See earlier comment about why Apple is about to be a trillion dollar company… ---

Over here we’ll show you how it works”. I just took my phone and ran away as fast as possible, but looking back over my shoulder I could see lots of people being sucked into the cult of Mac. When I bought my MacBook, I walked in and was like “I want this model, this memory, this screen size, and this hard drive size…” the girl was like dumbfounded. They got it for me and were amazed that I walked out and didn’t want it setup or anything for me. Over all, Apple products are solid. If Microsoft build the software and hardware, their computers would be expensive as well and a lot more stable. There is a lot of power behind Apple computers. I never bought them in the past until I had a reason to. When the Air was out, I needed something that was powerful, solid state, and had a long battery life because I was sick of lugging my 17" gateway to meetings. My Air was bout $1,600 and worth every penny IMO. I can hook it up to my 24" monitor and work on it, I can build and compile OpenGL code in Xcode, and run photoshop great. Also have bootcamp installed so can boot directly into Windows 7 for Steam and some XNA/C# coding when I need to. If you have a need for the power, they are awesome machines and last. If you want just a normal PC, then don’t waste your money. If your extent of computer use is posting on NYSpeed and Facebook, quit bitching about how over priced they are. When you use a computer to do real work, then you an interject your opinion into what hardware is good. ---
