Apple kicks butt, but WHY? Ping!

I’ve never owned an Apple device, save an Nano, which is eh, OK.
I buy PC’s like candy bars. They are disposable tools.
Apple buyers remind me of the trade carpenter that shows up with only German power tools that he is too afraid to use, get wet, lend out. He’s usually the guy that has to take twenty minutes to rip a sheet of plywood.
“What does Apple get that other companies don’t? Why is Apple kicking butt?”
Aside from the design/marketing talents of its honchos, maybe it’s just their “time”. Kindle’s new television spots are the most effective response I’ve seen to the Apple mythos in a while (and this on the marketing side). Windows 7 has sold 90 million copies worldwide so Microsoft is doing okay, I guess, for a sad-sack company dying in Apple’s shadow. Sony VAIO’s F series laptops completely won me over after a friend bought one. They are as elegant as anything on the Mac side IMO.
Nah, it has to be the gullibility and stupidity of the hypnotized deluded millions of homosexual communist hairdressers who are the only people who buy Apple’s products. Oh, sorry. ;’) Thanks Swordmaker.
Perhaps my favorite “Apple is doomed” scenario is how some other companies are going to get into a market niche dominated and/or defined by Apple by undercutting Apple on price. The result of such a move is the competitor(s) not making enough margin (on their undifferentiated boxes running an OS they don’t own) to support their customer base — many of the complaints having to do with components they didn’t make, or the OS they didn’t develop.
