Apple = Schmapple

Some people go on and on about Apple products. They think they are the best think ever. I think that they aren't any better than the other products on the market and are just popular due to good marketing. What do you think Getfrank users?

I think Apple is popular because the company came up with quite innovative things before others and is clever enough to force its users to use the company's own applications e.g. iTunes so that they have some controls over the users. However, this is precisely the reason I dont like Apple products - I do like playing with them but I would never want to own one because Apple is too controlling in terms of what you can or cannot do with it e.g. can't use your iPod/iShuffle/iTouch etc as file storage devices and can't look at the contents if your computer doesn't have iTunes installed... And now that other companies are catching up and some of them may even have better technologies / more innovative ideas so if I am upgrading I'd definitely go for products other than Apples...

I've had an Apple since 1994 and I don't think they were even doing a ton of marketing back then, but I would NEVER go to PC (at this stage) to the point where they told me I had to have a PC in my office at Uni so I said forget it, I didn't need an expensive paper weight and I'd work from home. They got me a MAC. [youtube] [/youtube]

Bloody hell, you're starting to sound like the perfect woman.

2nd August '11, 6:49pm

Just 'starting to'? You clearly haven't been paying attention.

Why would I do that? I'm a man.

Since I'm the perfect woman, I shan't argue with you.

2nd August '11, 7:27pm

2nd August '11, 7:30pm

Jabes shut up, you're gonna blow my cover.

2nd August '11, 7:35pm

2nd August '11, 8:08pm

Oh fine. Although, I have a bottle of Argentinean Pinot Noir down in the cellar that is begging to be consumed.

Hmm....Cheers Fiona... now, what were you saying? You're..... a spy? And you want us to come to the cellar? This sounds very suspicious.

Yes, and I'm also a ninja. And by 'ninja' I really mean I have a black belt in Kung Fu. And my 'black' I really mean... well, blue.

Unless of course, you meant something else when you said "blow my cover", and you are actually... Dave, a truck driver from Porirua!

LOL. Actually, you're right. I was completely lying. I'm sorry. I don't have a cellar at all. The wine is under the sink, but that didn't sound nearly as good. Forgive me? If your answer is 'yes' I'd be glad to take you for a ride in my truck to make amends.

Well you've just reverted from ball gown to jeans and t shirt, a good thing IMHO. You might even be offered that rare accolade: Honorary Bloke.

2nd August '11, 10:48pm Reply to this post

Well, if your Pumpkin soup is any good I might just dub you an Honorary Woman.

The more I look at that photo of me the more I look kinda stoned. I wasn't. It doesn't look like that when it's bigger.
Wait, yes it does.
