You’re hilarious in that you set yourself up to be the one who sets a “standard” for what consist of a “religion” (as you put it, which definition serves to actually denigrate true religion, actually) ... in that if people don’t act in the manner you say should be done, in how often they should buy a product, using your definition of “need” ... then ... it is a “religion”! ... LOL ...
You sound like your relatives emigrated from the former Soviet Union and had some family members with the last name of “Stalin” ... :-) ...
In America ... you see ... we all have the ABSOLUTE FREEDOM to buy whatever we want, in our capitalistic and free market system ... as many times as we want, as much as we want, and to do with or without any consideration of need, or to consider it in any way we see fit, according to OUR OWN DETERMINATION of what that should be and COMPLETELY IGNORE any one else’s opinion of what that should be.
We have the freedom to ABSOLUTELY BURN OUR OWN MONEY if we should so “feel the need to do so”!
AND THEN in our capitalistic free market system, companies that CATER TO the mass market and to whatever mood they are in, even if that mass market wants to “burn their own money” for no reason at all ... if that company pleases that mass market to the extent that the company becomes FILTHY RICH ... that company is a PERFECT SUCCESS in doing so and in becoming WILDLY SUCCESSFUL for catering to those customers. That’s exactly what a company is supposed to do ... which is to become FILTHY RICH by catering to the whims and wishes and desires of the mass market.
That company is called a ROARING SUCCESS ... and not a company that follows your very narrow-minded and “Stalinesque” philosophy!
Yup! In America, we all do have the freedom to purchase whatever the heck we wish. But, there are people who are so loyal to a name or brand, that they take it to worship level, or to a religious state.
I’m pretty sure you recognize yourself as part of the cult of Apple, and you demonstrate it within each and every discussion that even mentions Apple or iPhone or Macs or OSX or iOS or anything at all where Apple is involved in any way. You’re demonstrating it quite well in this discussion. Who else but a cult follower would be able to recite the praises of Apple? You know each and every product from Apple, and every version of that product that ever was.
Still, no matter how many products or services Apple has, it’s still a one-trick pony with iPHones leading the way, and Macs a very distant second. Once iPHones start becoming just another smartphone, Apple will become just another hardware/software company, at the level of HP or Dell or Toshiba.
And, every post you make does demonstrate that you are part of “The Following” of Apple. Don’t look over your shoulders, because, Kevin Bacon might be getting close.
Well with the exception of medical care and medical insurance. Obambi and his fellow travelers saw to that. Perhaps with adorno's help he can have Obamaphonecare. . . It will save every American family $2500 a year on their phone plan, and if you like your phone plan you can keep your phone plan, and if you like your phone, you can keep your phone. Where have I heard something like that before?
