Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too)

Posted by Zonk on from the if-that-day-hasn't-arrived-already dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Think today's world, where Apple is the innovative underdog, Google is the company that does no evil, and Microsoft sits atop its throne as ruler of an evil empire. Will this state of affairs last forever? You must not remember the days when everybody loved that scrappy upstart Bill Gates. Don Reisinger muses on the fickleness of consumer loves and hates. 'It's that same [level of] success and its own questionable privacy practices that will lead to Google's PR downfall and propel it into a position of disdain going forward. Trust me, the future of Apple and Google may look bright from an economic standpoint, but these companies will be hated one day too. Sad, but true.'"

    No, it's true. I hate Apple. And to be fair most of the troll posts came from me. I single-handedly posted over 4.7 million anti-Apple messages over the past years to newsgroups, forums, email chain letters, viagra spams, and various others. It's all part of my, Operation: Black Turtle Neck? Strangle!

    You forgot:
    - QuickTime for Windows
    - Brushed Steel
    On second thoughts, make that any Apple product for Windows

    But I've had Apple as a girlfriend for several decades. You're only getting laid right now. Once that lust and sex-haze evaporates, perhaps you'll see what's underneath. Good God man, I think that's the most depressing thing I've ever read on the Internet. It's actually sad on multiple levels.
