The populairty of apple explained, despite the 4g

Hey guys i just posted an article on my blog that i thought you may want to read, this is not mindless advertising, im a member and spend alot of my time on the xperia x10 forums, and im an android fanboy.
Heres an exert from my latest blog
"Anyone who lives 150,000,000 miles from the sun has heard of the company known as Apple, but as to why anyone would name a Computer company after a fruit is beyond me. Seriously; its like calling your Brothel "Taco-Hutt" or a photocopy company "nine inch nails" and dont you dare start preaching metaphors at me about how apples are seen as a sign of healthyness or purity Steve Jobs is neither healthy or pure, the douchebag visits the hospital more than a double dialysis patient not to mention his response to any crisis is "your (you; the customer, the one whos always right) doing / holding it wrong!"
And do not get me started on Wozniak the guy looks like he ran the HR department at the Darma Initiative.
So yes, Orange computers in known by all, it is also purchased by all, every Tom, Nick, Sarah, Harry, Muhammad, Hiemlic and Talesh seems to own either an iphone or ipod these days and so we end up with what im coining as the "Avatar-Occurence" ~ where something is so popular for no real justifiable reason but because it is now popular it is bought by more people and it becomes self-perpetualating. ~
So the point im trying to make is that a Popular company isnt neccessarily a good company, look at British Petroleum ffs!
From the stand point of a G33K like me there are 3 things Bananna Computers does; that gets on my tits, grinds my gears, ****s me right off, makes me want to cause a scene and an arms race.
My 3 pet peeves about Pear Computers are
1) The sheer arogance of their Marketting
2) absolutely shoddy product design.
3) PR, so ****! that pedophiles who live near Kindergartens could teach apple how to handle people.""

I sense your senses are sensing correctly.
Honestly, I didn't even read the OP lmaoo. I thought Apple and thought ew.

its an anti apple article FYI

... You surely don't like apple (or sound british) Yesterday I went to the grocery store, and this lady was waiting in line. I took a quick glance at what she was holding and it turned out to be a new iPhone 4 right. So after I look away (total time was like 4 Miliseconds) she starts looking at me and then everyone around her as if she was looking for some attention about having the new iPhone..... sheesh..... people.........​

Purple you should have slapped some sense into the woman, Get it Sense (Htc Sense)

iphone people think they have the best phones ever
THEY DON'T

I like OPs post
very true and funny and even more BRITISH

Wrong place mostly. The majority here doesn't like Apple to begin with, and we tinkerers don't like the idea of having an overpriced piece of tech. For the same price, you could have gotten a much better spec'd Windows kit. And if you are going desktop, by building your own rig, you could have built something that'll blow the Mac completely out of the world and still have change to bring your girl out for a date

CSB time.
My bud's GF is called Mac. So the first time I saw her (she was kinda cute) I decided to have a dig at her.
I just told her that I hate Mac with a vengeance and I will stay loyal with XP (my girlfriend's initials). My buddy laughed and she was stunned for a few seconds, and we had to explain the joke to her. Twice.
Later on, we were sitting beside each other and I made a fuss out of distancing with her, saying I'm allergic to Apple products.
And yeah, she smacked my arm after that.

Actually, I didn't have to flash that far back. It happened over the weekend. Needless to say, I mess around with people so often that I got infamous for it. It's a great icebreaker too, since it weeds out the cool people with the not-so-cool people.

Why on earth are you asking such a question here?! Folks here are fandroids! Ask another place.
But if you want one, buy it. You'll get top of the line hardware (and not thin crappy plastic fantastic ****) and you'll get a stable OS that's not crying about viruses everytime you're downloading Girls Gone Wild Vol. 86.
People here only writes "F*** Apple", "get a real computer", "Steve Jobs gave me herpes" and things like that. Their actually not here to help you.

To whit, I submit the following questions to the OP and to Mr. BazookaAce:
What is the purpose of such a machine? Are you genuinely using it for the software suites that only Mac can handle? Or you're simply trying to impress the chicks that will never notice you otherwise?
If you answered "Yes" to the last two questions, you might need a Mac. Otherwise, move along. There is genuinely better laptops for a better price.

I use an hp dv7 as my main computer. First laptop. Now that I have it, I see the use of a portable laptop. I want an air because it is extremely portable. Fully operational computer. Spec something out that compares to it. You whine and cry about overpriced pos. Yes the desktops are. But put up or shut up. Spec a windows unit out that compares. Apple got it right with the air, and it's the only mac I would buy.
And to the op, only tip would be spend an extra bill to get 4gb of ram. Otherwise leave it as is if you have other computers to work from. It's a good ultra portable as is, just that bump in ram will boost performance to do all you need as a second portable device. Go for it.

I game too much, so my opinion is completely and truly biased.
Go ahead with your purchase, with the knowledge that a stoopid Dell XPS 14 can beat the shark out of a MacBook Air 13" for about 30% off. And I'm talking better processor, GPU and RAM. And you can buy a nice SSD for the price difference, and keep your old HDD in an external enclosure. And still have change for the spare battery.
Like I said, if you genuinely need something that Mac has to offer (like multimedia stuff), a Mac is good. But for any other reasons, a PC will serve you better. In fact, I have recommended Macs to two of my friends; a budding photographer and a musician. They loved it for what it can do that Windows couldn't
So my question still stands; do you NEED a Mac? Or do you buy it because you're an Apple tool?

First thing is recommend.... Wait until about July when the refresh comes out, it'll most likely have a sandybrige CPU meaning better performance and battery life, although they will probably remove the dedicated graphics card and use the onboard Intel 3000HD thing I have a macbook air from 2008 btw..

They are great little laptops, we had two at work.
This may be a problem that has been resolved now, but both had problems with the display hinge breaking. Apple repaired both of them without any problem, even though one was out of warranty.
I eventually got fed up with the small screen and got a 15 inch 'Pro'.

First of all, i'm not 12 years old. I'm not a gamer. Second, i don't care about the price. Some buys a Mercedes or BMW, and some nerds will buy a Kia, put 800 HK in it, and call it gods work. No, it's still a piece of **** that will crash and burn more often then Mr Sheen.
People like nice things, and people like stability. Not everyone likes a Alienware box that will melt within 3 minutes of use.
But it doesn't matter what i say, since you're most likely a 13 year old chick with cheetos on your pubs, and needs to grow a pair.

Yeah at that kind of speed, a suit wouldn't cut it, they should have some kind of evac pods for that scenario, like a tin can with heat tiles and a parachute, oxygen supply, etc. like the bell shaped deals they used tocome back in back in the old days only smaller.
But as expensive as it was to make that jump, it's still pretty cool. Dude says he's not doing any crazy stunts anymore, he wants to fly helicopters putting out fires and saving people's lives and such. So I guess he's not a total douche adrenaline junkie, he just has high aspirations. I can respect that, go big or don't bother, it's the American way

Mach compared to ground speed varies with altitude(air density) and several factors like temperature and humidity. I think it likely if he did break it, it would be at the beginning of his fall where the air is a lot less dense and less likely at the end of his fall where air is a lot more dense.
