Apple, while profitable, is stupid. They have Rush who has been using MACs forever yet they won't use him in an ad because of their sensibilities. Using Rush in an ad isn't going to stop patchouli smelling hippies from using a MAC.

Yes, I have used a MAC and think they are decent machines but their entire marketing plan revolves around people who are too stupid to turn on their computer.

Don't bother writing me how great your MACs are or that you're not a hippy. I'm not writing about YOU, I'm writing about Apple. Calling the pimply faced kids at their stores geniuses is pretentious to say the least and stupid to say the most.

I have an Iphone (killer deal from AT&T) and it makes phone calls, something my last ten phones also managed to do.

Politically microsoft is just as bad as Apple. I don’t know of a reasonable substitute for these two!!!

Yeah, ideology can often get in the way of sound business decisions, especially when it comes to the left. Still, it’s a free country, if they want to give up a bunch of revenue just to avoid the “taint” of Limbaugh on their brand, so be it. There are plenty of other companies who will gladly step in to buy those prime ad slots.
