5) They're very good at marketing.

And, they get a lot of media hype - whether it's Slashdot or the BBC, running a story everytime Apple make a noise (or even when they don't - as in the case of this story). Just look at all the stories about people queuing up for Iphones - yet it seems these stories are being run by the media, irrespective of whether there is any great rush for the phones.

Partly that's as a result of their marketing in the past. It also probably has a lot to do with the traditional popularity of in the niche market of desktop publishing and the media in general - so you've got a much higher proportion than normal of Apple fans amongst those people who control the media.

Come on now - if (4) was really the correct one, we would have to wonder why (3) isn't true.

You can see what an Apple toilet would look like here, btw. Best money can buy? If you say so.

Just another example of MS stealing everyone else's crap! And, frankly, what do they want with my fesces? Are they going to ANALyze it to find out what I'm eating so they can sell it to me on MSN?

Of course you know what this means...

NEWS RELEASE: December 9, 2002 - St. Leo College in Florida announces a new plan to integrate iFurniture into every dorm. This makes for more user friendly environments for the chronically stoned. Students will no longer have to suffer the embarrasment of having everyday "beige" dorm furniture that can be difficult and dangerous to operate while heavily inebriated.

Statement from the president of the university:

Saint Leo College strongly belives that our students can no longer tolerate the on-campus living conditions of our school. The rigorous academic schedule. The unrelenting sunshine. The complete lack of Winter. To make things worse, as a Catholic school, we feel that in some small way we may be encouraging rebellious behavior in our students trying to shed their reputation as Catholic School Students. We feel that we can't continue to punish students when they get to their dorm rooms.

The students can no longer be expected to have to go through their daily trials and tribulations AND have to learn how to use their computer and other furniture! The Pope has approved (after intense negotiations because of fears of being perceived as endorsing the forbidden fruit) the switch to an exclusively Apple brand on-campus furniture environment. By forcin.. errr... encouraging our students to use the products of the highest bidding business partner we feel that academics can only improve!

While our students may seek forgiveness for their daily sins by confessing them, we feel that their other day to day tasks should be simplified and standardized as much as possible. So, today, to prevent any further injuries or the possibility of independent thought that may go against the decree of the Vatican, we have decided to make Saint Leo College an Apple-only on-campus learning experience!

Thank you to our new patron saint Steve for the funding to make this all-encompasing "switch" possible.
