This is a surprise, why? Apple has always been this way, and their users think themselves as some kind of special class of person for using their services. As far as phones go, I wish mine did half the things that the iPhone does, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna suddenly become one of their so called elite consumers…

I remember back in the early days of home computing when Apple was king. Apple computers were great, but if you wanted to upgrade, you’d have to go through an authorized Apple dealer. If a part broke (I had a key break on my keyboard), you had to pay outrageous prices and go through an authorized Apple dealer.

Look who is ruling the PC market now. I guess Apple hasn’t learned anything from the past (Of course I wish Apple would have dominated the PC market, but when IBM opened up their architecture for all the clones, that ended Apple’s reign – too bad it also brought M$ an empire)

Oh, the dear proles are always complaining that they cannot afford the snobbery of Loius Vuitton, Bentley, et. al.
Exclusionary, elitist, restrictive — the list of moanings goes on, and on, and on.
The key is word: envy.
We have an alternative for you: Linux on everything. Open-source, inexpensive, mediocre at best, but no whips.
Cheers!
