You are right man. Apple is one of the best company. It provedes the latest devices with the good functionality in affordable price. It has good standard in the market also. Why some people hate it,I really do not understand. People like to use mobile phone,ipod of Apple company. They get some good quality in it that is why they use it.

That's no reason to hate the company. They don't control what people use them for, they just sell them. I don't understand why people talk trash about Apple either, even though I'm not a big fan of them myself.

They don't. They don't have a even a majority of the computer or cell phone market. They do own the largest share of the MP3 player market, but they don't have a monopoly on that either.

You suck at reading comprehension.

I never said what market, and no one can really become larger then Apple, and new companies have virtually no chance.

I hate macs because all school computers are mac and they are hard to use. So when you are at school and need to do a project your forced to use a mac. I don't care if anyone prefers mac but most of the world uses Microsoft so schools should just get those, plus Microsoft computers are cheaper anyway.

I don't really find that true. Microsoft has more of a monopoly when it comes to software, and HP and Dell when it comes to hardware. I assure that Apple does not have a monopoly. Other companies can and are competing. Haven't you heard of a Sansa Clip or a Zune? What about all the Droid phones?

Personally, I just hate the Mac fanboys and the PC fanboys.

Well, not really. My Multimedia teacher was a Mac fanboy and he wasw awesome.

I think Macs are okay for graphic design, but so are PCs for the same price. Also, I hate the way the advertise. I mean, they'll compare a Mac to something like a god damn Gateway. PCs are not just one type of computer like Mac is.

ok to be strait with people.... yes i had insulted Apple products in the past. but to be hoenst i have nothing against Apple it self i hate the "Fandom" more than anything. the way they are, its like apple is the only thing in the world thats good.
( well thats what i get)

another one i just dont see the point when i can get a cheaper product that does excelty the same thing as Apple and look just as nice.

one last thing is that The MAC does not work for me. the fact Apple said user friendly yet i cant find the on/off switch is odd.
cant get around it and i cant find my flash drive. (pen drive or USB stick)

sorry for people how is an "ok" Apple fan but to me the MAC is shit

P.S by the way i am going by my own bad experiences.

I have an iPod, but I'm fairly indifferent to Apple as a company. If a company makes a good product I'll use it, I don't really care much about brand names.

There companies which I boycott for personal reasons though, but it's nothing to do with their products.

I love macs and computers, but macs are too pricey for me, so I tried getting a Hackintosh. That is a good alternative, especially since it is almost exactly the same as the mac os.

I am talking about the mp3 market exclusively, because we all know they have shitty overpriced computers. Those companies may have a small niche, but they will never truly compete with Apple

maybe it has something related with:

Applefags being fags.
Apple being an overpriced re-branding years old products and calling them new.
Murderous price for shitty hardware.
Having the unique and be different appeal and yet you can't customize it without cracking it.
Mac OSX does have virus but Mac users are too stupid to realize that.
If shit happens you can't do shit about it aside calling consumer support.
I can't assemble my own hardware with Macs.
Shitty software that doesn't do anything besides shitty music, movies and look pretty.
Every fucking hipster has one.

They could if they would come up with something that the market wants more. They have a majority of the market, that is for sure. But, once someone else comes up with something groundbreaking it will strip sales from Apple.

It's not that I hate Macs, even though they're incredibly overpriced and a bit shit. It's just Apple are one of the more ridiculous companies in ol' Silicon Valley. Steve Jobs is a prime example. During the whole iphone-losing-connectivity thing he worded it so the consumer was to blame. When the iphone couldn't connect to wifi during a conference, he blamed the audience. He's so perfect!

Also Apple fanboys are like the plague. It's a computer, not a fucking social revolution.

I know Microsoft and the whoever aren't exactly less evil, but Apple and Steve Jobs has that smarminess about it that makes you cringe.

they also totally stole Apple Corps name, those bastards.

Well.. the reason why I hate mac's and Apple in particular is not so much because the hardware is really too expensive for the quality you get.

I hate them both because of their restrictions, you just cant do jack shit on any Apple device without paying through the nose for more apps. And stuff that was already available and working just fine is just not compatible.. ugh.

I especially hate the authoritarian grip on platforms such as the ipad, ipod and iphone. All these devices need to be made more open for 3rd party enhancements (read: awesome linux geeks who program the shit out of them)

I don't hate the mac computers. But I found that they are far more expensive than PCs. My laptop costed less than a mac when the mac's specs were far lower than that of the PC.

Same here. I boycott Nike, because they are complete assholes, overrated and not to mention they use child labor in certain countries.
