Gene Sternberg of TechNightOwl opines on the never ending and always expected criticism of Apple products from people who often don't use them and echo others who don't use them citing few complaints to tell baselessly people not to install updates. . . all in the pursuit of clicks and attention. — PING!

It is amazing that you rarely, if ever see Apple fans rabidly attacking Windows reports, or reports on Dell, HP or Levino products - but people who have never used Macs or any Apple, nor have any intention of even TRYING an Apple product - are here to bash Apple and Apple users.

Apparently, every Apple user (including Rush Limbaugh) is a flaming liberal.

I’ve worked R&D in hardware design in the PC industry for the past 25 years. In the end, it’s all just 1’s and 0’s in a really big, sophisticated register. Use whatever tool works best for you.

At work, like most Apple users - we use MSFT products. Many of us are masters at using MSFT Office suites, programming in a variety of languages or are System Administrators for large companies. But, at home - where WE HAVE A CHOICE - we chose Mac.

And MSFT users cannot stand that we chose to use a product that they neither know how to use, nor understand - so they attack us; and call “us” a cult. Yet, who displays the more “cult-like” attitude? Those who know multiple ways of doing something, and chose the way that works best, or those who ONLY KNOW A SINGLE WAY - and insult those who opt to chose differently?

Just my 2 cents.
