The apple products i own work so much better for me than the many previous computers/cellphones I have used. The workmanship and build quality is far superior and totally worth the extra cost. Their design and practicality is miles and miles ahead of their competitors, especially their computers. Maybe look up the definition of the word proof...

Weston Super Saint Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Most pub companies in the UK made a profit last year, so definitely steer clear of all the pubs in the country. Don't forget the water companies, they made large profits too. Best steer clear of drinking water, having a shower or doing anything that involves water.

pap Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 I toy with the idea of getting a Mac every time a computer needs replacing. Everytime I do that, I realise that I'm going to pay around £500 over the odds - and stick to PCs. That said, Apple's customer service is pretty good. One of my iPods broke (groove related damage).

Essruu Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Please explain? You surmised that because Apple have a massive cash reserve, their products are a rip off. This is the thought process of a simpleton or retard. I was replying in a similar vein. What I did not factor into my reply, was the possibility that you actually are retarded. As others have stated, Apple products, by and large, tend to be of far better build quality, longer lasting, aesthetically pleasing and revolutionary, so people are prepared to pay for that quality. Want a car: buy a Daewoo, not one of those rip off Mercedes that will last thirty years longer Those Apple cash reserves haven't been derived from a few thousand people paying extortionate prices for a couple of devices. They come from 300,000,000+ iPod sales (nothing else comes close), 25,000,000 iPad sales (currently outselling Android tablets 24:1) etc. Apple's buying power is immense. The time is fast approaching when they will be selling ultra-thin laptops with SSD drives at prices that the competition cannot get near. I'd like you to come back in a couple of years time and tell us all how you're paying more for inferior products because of your anti-Apple stance. You've stated that you will never buy an Apple product. In the face of overwhelming evidence that their devices are some of the best consumer technology devices available, that is an incredibly immature, blinkered and, dare I say 'retarded' standpoint.

Cascadia Saint Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 The Mac operating system is miles better, cleaner and more intuitive than windows for a start. And I don't think you can downplay how much of a bonus good design is - my iMac has no tower, it takes up as much space as a monitor would, and is (in my humble geeky opinion) ******* gorgeous. Clean lines and high grade materials, nothing distracting from the screen. (which display photographs beautifully) Most popular software is available for Mac, I use all the adobe creative suite programmes. There is a lot of cool custom designed software available to download through their Mac app store now, ranging from games for 99 cents to full on graphics stuff for hundreds of dollars. The operating system includes a feature called boot camp, which let's you run windows software too, if you have a copy of windows to install on your Mac. Best decision I ever made.

Guided Missile Posted 30 July, 2011 Share Posted 30 July, 2011 Apple is not richer than the USA. That is like saying, because the Queen never carries money, everyone is richer than her. Apple has cash in the bank because they are about make a large acquisition, so the analysts believe. There's no other reason, because it is always better to employ any spare cash, beyond reserves, in investing in a business, particularly one that grows at over 20% a year. Try and get that interest on your cash, however large an amount. The US also has a minor advantage over apple, in that it is allowed to print money and also holds $110.3 billion in gold at Fort Knox. A ridiculous story, really and one that has been aimed to make Apple fanboys cream all over their Ipods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish arguement The reason people get viruses on PC's and not on Macs is because anybody that makes a virus on a MAC is pretty much applying that virus on a smaller market. If your gonna bother making a virus you will infect the biggest market available. I.E the PC market.

Turkish Posted 31 July, 2011 Share Posted 31 July, 2011 (edited) This is one of the struggles we face - but in the end you learn to love me for who I am. I think a better meeting would be that we have to enter a roller-skating dancing competition at the local discotheque and both of our partners accidentally skate into each other while we're both getting drinks (seperately for now) and hurt their ankles, and we have to team up. We wipe the floor with those other schmucks! I think we'll chuck a medley from Saturday Night Fever into that scene. How about a (what verbal thinks) a racist thug (me) mets an upcoming student genius (you) they fall in love over a cocktail of history lessons and appearing in the audience of Question TIme and go off to build orpahnages in Uganda together, meanwhile exposing the diamond trafficers for what they are worth. It'll be Blood Diamond Meets Snatch meets Mama Mia, it'll appeal to everyone, altought we'll need to make it a muscial for the gay audience take it seriously.
