“People buy Apple peripherals because of the same level of care and respect for quality and beauty that goes into everything they do.”
Yes, that is the element that they profess in the advertisements and it works.
“People buy peripherals from whomever because its a package deal, it looks cheap on the front end, or they dont know any better.”
No, they buy Apple peripherals because it has the Apple logo on it...
“Really, do you think anyone who has braved the FUD emanating from the MS camp for twenty years does anything out of ignorance? The easy path is the well-worn path of least resistance, and that is where the sheep trod. Thats always been anything Microsoft and still is.”
Well, yes and no... They do brave the FUD (as you say) because of Apples advertisements. Yes, the easiest path is to follow Apple if you are so inclined and yes, that makes them Apple sheep...
“Its funny, watching these threads. It sounds as if apps, a stripped down, modular conceptualization of software wholly attributable to Apple starting with iPhone and now being extended with iPad, has taken over the world, lol.”
Yes, it is... but most of those apps that are purchased seem to be Apple... strange isn’t it?
“All these squealling, stuck pigs carrying on about Apple not wanting a dedicated porn app in their store? Bizarre. They dont want direct association and by implication their imprimatur upon pornography. The porn-addled masses are as free as ever to go out and find it on their own, on Apple or some other inferior, Apple-knockoff platform.”
Well, this is just bizarre... All porn is available regardless of operating system or seller...
“It sounds as if somebody has found something, *anything* to use as a wedge issue to hamper Apple, no matter how silly or picayune. Adobe Flash? Adobe pulled out because *they* couldnt make Flash compatible with touchscreen. Its not compatible because it doesnt work. It doesnt work because Adobe cant figure it out.”
Nah, it is just that some of us have figured out the marketing strategy. That is not a problem, just a matter of savings...
“The webmaster or site administrator who decides to preclude a wide swath of potential hits out of fealty to a dated, buggy standard such as Flash is an idiot. There is an alternative, an alternative that Adobe itself supports, clled HTML5.”
Not totally sure what you are saying, but I think that I agree.
“Stir all the crap you want, its just more FUD, more anti-hype, trying to buy time for another wave of clunky copies to make it to market, for the sheep to get fooled into buying because it has a half-@ssed camera or some other battery life draining, unnecessary feature added purely for marketing purposes.”
Yep, it’s all hype and the sheep will buy...
“But, by all means, carry on. Its fun to see just how wide of the mark you guys continue to be.”
Thanks for you consideration...
WHAT Apple Logo'ed peripherals, Deagle? Here are the one's Apple sells:
Yes, it is... but most of those apps that are purchased seem to be Apple... strange isnt it?
Ah, no, you are again demonstrating your total ignorance... and you are wrong to boot. Apple has very few of the 200,000 plus apps on the App store. Isn't funny how many of your "facts" seem to be made up on the spot by you????
How deep do you want that hole???
