What a load of bull. If you ever met me I think you'd shelve this silly notion.
Apple post record profits.

The opinion I gave there is from all the people who I've spoken to, who own an Apple Product. They do love to tell you it's an Apple product, and how awesome it is.
Maybe your're not like that.
I seen a post a while back (a few months at most) about someone paying either £400 or $400 for an 8800gt for a mac. Apparently its sprinkled with apple magic dust to give it that "omgmusthave" factor.
Its the type in this vid that really freak me out.
I ain't even seen people like this that work in the Apple stores. I guess these are the "extremists" of the Apple people.
Apple haters gonna hate...the usual rhetoric on here and i imagine everywhere else.
Personally im not apple fanboi but i have to say they come up with some pretty neat stuff ie improve on others products ie the mobile phone for instance and ipad. Never thought id get to the day where i would consider buying an iphone but i did and have to say im pretty pleased with it...it does what it says on the tin so to speak.
Good on Apple with their profits sky rocketing but we all know things dont last forever.

because they walk around with them in their hands and THEN tell you incase you hadn't noticed.
Such an utterly retarded comment tbh.
You can say the same thing about anything ie Android for example...everyone i know that has one always goes to great lengths telling me how great it is...so that comment above isnt mutually exclusive to apple fanboi's etc.
Hell i do the same when i get a new Blackberry
and yes im a crackberry aka blackberry fanboi through and through.
How do you know someone as a Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4?
Sorry I could not help my self, I actually hate it that people refer to their phone as iPhones rather than just a phone. The same goes for iMac.
"Do you have a PC?"....
"No I have an iMac". Ugh!
Totally different markets...
The tablets sold with MS software on were almost entirely dedicated to the business sector. iPads and other new slates aren't.
The technology has improved to the extent that the casual consumer can now buy something they can use for a cheap sum of money whereas before tablets were expensive niche products, because they cost a fortune and hardware wise they were pretty poor, except for specific applications.
The better hardware and consumer bias of the iPads leads me on to...
Wrong. Every company and their nan were already bringing out Tablets. MS were 2 months ahead of Apple with new consumer slate release info and there were dozens of other Android based tablets on display at a show a month or two before Apple decided to host a conference displaying theirs. 2010 was the year of the tablet since January, it's the year that technology has caught up with desire (in this respect). The only thing Apple have really excelled at is bringing theirs to market before most of the others managed to (part thanks to the Trega 2 issue that delayed most of the tablets on display in January for at least 6 months).
On the main note, well done Apple, however how do their profits compare with the big boys (electrical giants like Sony and Philips?), it's not really fair to compare them to MS any more as they are an electrical manufacturer first and a software company second now.

Well I don't know about the "not gay" part of your statement but telling people not only that you own a Mac Book Pro but also the year of manufacture could be a little bit pretentious. Typed on an '06 Lenovo R60... except when I say that all you should possibly feel is pity.
It's not just to pick on you but why does the year of manufacture matter? Unless something magical happens every year to distinguish them from each other - unicorns one year, centaurs the next etc? Do you get a new keyboard layout? A bigger screen? Is it a faster processor? I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea about what the distinction is so that's why I don't see the fascination some people have with putting the year next to their toy.
It’s mainly the have-nots and the haven’t tried brigade. Just too many bum boys on either side of the fence.
It's almost as funny as those mac users that when pushed (as to why OSX is better than Windows) spout out all the pre SP1/2 XP issues.
Yeah, way to go! Compare your brand new OS with one that is 10 years old and superceded by 2 new ones...
The year against a MBP simply denotes its spec and capabilities. You wouldn't do it against say a Win laptop as their spec seems to change every other day. I know that's not quite true but I'm sure you know what I mean.
Personally I find the whole Apple v Microsoft thing quite tedious.
Apple is too expensive! Don't buy one. It's not rocket science.
I get a lot of stick for using my MBP for work (considering who I work for...) and yet when I show a lot of our devs and TAMs *why* I use my MBP a lot of them understand it.... and they also bitch that there's no way they could get one from Corp.
