What I find amazing is their willingness to completely believe absolutely anything negative about Apple spouted by some nameless, anonymous nobody on the Internet over authoritative facts backed by organizations with long term reputations with severe financial repercussion if caught lying.
If it's about Apple, it has to be underhanded, lying hype, as far as they are concerned.
In their view, Apple users are poor deluded, stupid ego driven, dupes, who are technologically illiterates who want everything done for them, and are therefore easily manipulated into wasting their money buying outdated, slow, glitzy technology, that could easily be assembled by a technologically savvy person for a third the price, merely because we wish to look "cool" to other trendy, stylish, flaky people. Notice the implied assumption of their superiority in that assertion by their claim. . . They, of course, have none of those defective attributes.
That's not just true about Apple haters. It applies to Windows/Microsoft haters, Samsung haters, Linux haters, Ford haters, Chevy haters, Prius haters, Reagan haters, Obama haters, Sarah Palin haters... So it's not about Apple, and it's not really even about the haters as individuals.
It's about hate.
Hate is a poison, it's the blood and bile of the Devil, the evil stuff that oozes out when you squeeze Satan.
There's so much of it in the world. Makes me crazy to think about how much life, energy, time, and love are wasted when people hate. It's particularly odd, and so sad, when somebody hates a company or their products, because that's not even an animate object. It's tilting at windmills, pointless and unproductive. But haters gotta hate... *sigh*
