Well...to me it sounds more like a lot of iLosers and iDorks doing the negative posting, actually... (along the same lines as we heard when the iPod came out... ) LOL!!
I’ve just got to laugh at the jealously and the negative comments, and would like to see all these people about two years down the road and find out what they think...
Of course, what they’ll say two years down the road is just like the “iLosers” say today about the iPods and the people that buy them — “They’re all iDiots!!” LOL...
Yeah, 75% of the market are idiots... right!! What company would not sell the first-born children to gain 75% of the market to such “iLosers” as these “naysayers” gripe about.... :-)

Wow, that reads like a 15 year old posted it.
A lot of apple products are built on hype. Usually you can buy superior products for less, they just don’t have the hipster factor that makes apple “cool” to buy and own. And buy and buy and buy whenever the latest apple version comes out.
Now, some things are good. The mac mini was perfect for a ‘home use’ computer, which is why when my non computer savvy parents needed a new computer, I helped them buy one. It’s good for what it was designed for and it was priced right.
I won’t even go into the problems apple has had with product design and reliability, and their relatively crappy customer service record when responding to their problems. But people keep lapping it up because it’s “cool to own them”.
I’ll admit Apple is pretty clever - they’ve figured out a way to charge people a premium to be beta testers for their products.
