Surely someone, somewhere, has done a study on what it is about the Apple haters that makes them so unable to control themselves even a little bit in the face of news about Apple products. They just HAVE to jump on a thread and make stupid, denigrating accusations, calling fellow FReepers ugly names, making fools of themselves. When I see something I don't like and don't want to read, I ignore it and find something else to read -- life is too short to waste hating inanimate objects on an internet forum.

But these people apparently just can't help themselves -- they fall all over themselves spewing bile and making stupid comments about a piece of hardware. Unbelievable. It's like they've got a disease that takes over their mind, whenever something Apple comes within their view. They need to buy a life and do something positive with it. It's really a shame. I'm sure that in other respects they're probably nice folks. Right?

That's all I have to say about it, and even these couple of minutes typing were not a good use of my own time. It's a lovely morning, and I'm going to enjoy it without any more of this stuff.

Perhaps ADS? That’s Apple Derangement Syndrome. It is indeed a strange malady.

The thread is about a noted design flaw in a newly teased product. People pointing out and being concerned about this issue are not necessarily Apple haters. They are concerned consumers. If the phone bends, then it can be a potential problem. Deal with the problem instead of attacking those who express reservations What is it about the knee jerk Apple defenders. Are they incapable of realizing that a faceless corporation is capable of screwing up once in a while?

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illiterates who want everything done for them, and are therefore easily manipulated into wasting their money buying outdated, slow, glitzy technology, that could easily be assembled by a technologically savvy person for a third the price, merely because we wish to look "cool" to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.
