Can u believe it? Well, of course we can, duh. In an age of technology
competition, Macintards have always embraced the inept, lethargic losing
side. Oh yes, I'm being too harsh--maybe I should've taken note of
Apple's FIVE PERCENT MARKET SHARE in the PC and server market. LOL!
Now let's get to the meat of it. We all remember how Macintards were
going gaga when the iPod and iTunes came out. "OH HOW COOL THE FIRST
PORTABLE MUSIC PLAYER EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! SUPERCOOOOOOL
WHAT WILL THE GENIUS JOBS DO NEXT?!!!!"
Well we all know what REAL geniuses would do (LOL!), but unfortunately
for Apple, the iTunes music store and its silly associated gadget iPod
has now become totally obsolete. Its contemporaries in the music market
(emusic, Amazon) are now embracing watermarking and hi-fi MP3 files,
which consumers like since they can play it ANY MP3 player, instead of
just Apple's primitive cigar lighter. Lets we not state the obvious,
practically every other digital player on the market outshines the iPod
(i. e. Cowon, iRiver, . . .).
The fact that Apple requires the incredibly slow, overbloated
monument-to-itself iTunes software/protocol to even interface with its
cigar lighter, in comparison to its competitors merely appearing as a
mountable flash drive on a PC (which makes it easy to work w/Windows as
well as Linux and BSD), is, of course, a big part of it, coupled with
Jobs' stupid decision (ah yeah, we lost count of those years ago) to
require iPod batteries to work with its player instead of any old AAA cell.
But to make a long story short, why the hell would any sensible person
buy an iPod when he/she can buy a competing player, NOT having to hassle
w/iTunes, silly batteries, and be able to download music from stores
superior to iTunes?
I have to stand back now--the sound/mess of a zillion macintards head
exploding ain't a pretty sight. EEEK!
(well maybe they'll just clean up the mess with an iMop. . .)
With a user name like Ubergeek and a troll like the above post I now
understand the term "cognitive dissonance".
