Having an abysmally deficient vocabulary is apparently “cool.” It may even be “awesome.”

“Cool” is what OTHER people label something that they like. As a user, I couldn’t possibly care less what other people think about my car, my computer, my tablet, my phone, my home or my lawn mower.
I bought them for ME, not for your approval.
If you don’t like Apple, please do not buy anything made by Apple. If you don’t like Virgin Airlines, please fly someone else. I, and my fellow passengers won’t miss you a bit. Like everything else - you tend to get what you pay for.

Apple’s stuff is innovative and just works. The buying and services experiences are almost always good. There are generally no buggy first releases. Our house is full of Apple products. Who gives a rat’s patootie about “cool”? “Cool” is not a reason to buy anything.
Except Presidents, of course. There “cool” matters a whole lot, and we’ve got the “coolest” one on the entire planet.

No, I bought apple (again) at $250 a share because I thought it would go up (I was told I was wrong to think that)

I personally don't buy Apple because for my needs it simply isn't worth the price one has to pay the other reason is their incredibly lack of the need to defend the concept of free enterprise against it's biggest opponents...The democrat party....while Microsoft is no better at least I am donating less money to the socialist side. I would really prefer a third option.

My Samsung Gravity III stops a hole in the IPhone 5, bigger screen , better GPS, faster, more memory, has had 4g since the Gravity S...hows that for cool, hipsters..oh yea you guys got Angry Birds before us Android folks /snark. Its fairly common knowledge, iPhones are for fags or women, not very cool for a guy not a poster child for Low-T.

Do you vote for an unqualified mulatto with an unknown background, because it’s cool?

It hasn’t been all that long ago Apple was considered Dead, not Cool. It’s one of the great come back stories in American business.

I got 50 shares at 217! I’m smiling now!
Although thinking about taking my gains now before the crash in November.
