My $200 Galaxy J7 only has 16gb, but a slot where I can add 256gb extra storage. And I can swap in different 256gb cards if I like. No huffing on fumes from the 'cloud' for me.
Apple is an overmarketed Buick in a world full of Chevys. Stop getting off on your Mercedes/BMW hype. There's nothing that great about brand X commodity hardware over brand Y.
My 'squeaky plastic' laptop cost about as much as the accessories and dongles required to use a one-port-wonder Apple laptop. If I want to spend as much as an Apple laptop there are a huge number of excelleny non-Apple choices I can make.
It is nice that smug Apple types have joined the discussion for illustration purposes, though.
The Mac at launch was a disaster. Several feeble applets where all there was. Microsoft rescued the Mac from oblivion, and made a ton of money in the process.
When Excel launched, nobody really cared, Lotus 123 was the ruling application in business. It took time for that to change.
Cheap windows laptop that corporate can deploy for about $60 and insure that it doesn't get infested with the employees' x86 software. I think it could be a winning product.
The only Power computer I have at present is an RS/6000 deskside box (with no graphics card, alas) that runs AIX. It's a Power 1 system, with microchannel cards. The Power 1 chipset resides on one of the microchannel cards. It boots up with a serial console. The serial console sits dead silent for about five minutes when you power it up before anything shows up indicating the box is alive.

We had explicit training sessions at Emerson focused on us never using the word 'defect' for liability reasons.
The lower cost of not going into an Apple Store rescues me from sinking into a smug fug. It makes it almost worth it to pay a little bit less.
Oh, I suspect they focus on hiring clever people with an IQ if about 110.
Are you kidding? Of course you can!!!
You're describing fetish, not sex.
Eager morons. Just who I want getting in my way when I want to make a purchase.

You used to at least try a rebuttal. Now you just cast non-cult members away from your presence. When did you become such a fucking priest?
Nothing needs to be banned, except for the people eager to prohibit. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, bro.
Excellent crapflooding. Keep stirring it up, pottyman.
1984 was describing Stalinism.

That's not 'winning a war.' That's terraforming. Other people in neighboring countries would frown on it. Places like China come to mind.
The Mac would have died in the late 1980s without Microsoft Word and Excel.
Apple lost the look and feel lawsuit. What they 'claim' is irrelevant.
Can't you be more vulgar and scatological? You're not pulling your weight, bro.
Why do people get trolled by this mediocre crapflooder?
I'm stealing your bait, and snagging your hook in that sunken log over there.
Have fun.
We're veering ever closer to the kind of 'Government Jobs' portrayed in Snow Crash.

For Fake Tim Kook, every device known to man is an Apple product.
I have a two car detached garage. But being a nerd, there is just too much other stuff more worthwhile to keep in a garage than my cars.
Apple hardware is designed by the marketing people. They do have engineers vetting the design, but they aren't always listened to.
Fake Anarchist? You mean, like one that doesn't actually have a real membership?
