No, where did I say that???
I say UK and Soviet did more, it is that easy.
Most people don't seam to know it, and from what I have seen today many don't want to know.
I can not understand why people take it as an insult, WHY? My contry did nothing, and if someone
makes a point out of it i relly do not care.
I doubt that. Maybe I'd be the only person to say it on /., but not the only person to say it anywhere. Apple brands the shit out of all of their stuff and it is so unbelievably tacky and tasteless that I would never buy an Apple product despite any evidence of superiority or advantage in price.
Apple hardware is more expensive than its competitors and it doesn't offer any distinct advantages. Apple sells the brand and the image, not the product. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that -- Nike and The Gap do it too -- but you can't expect a freethinker to buy into some corporate marketing campaign.
Yuppies buy for status, not for practicality. Apple products buy status and image above all else.
