Having the capability and putting out and easy to use, working implementation are two entirely different things. Sooner or later nerds will learn that this is where apple excels.
iTunes can be quite happily ignored. I am a self confessed apple zealot and can count the number of times I've dealt with iTunes in the past year on 1 hand. Also, it's nowhere near as painful (like everything else) on the mac.
Because additional cost to just buy apple instead of some other vendor = far less than the cost to re-invent the wheel. And you end up with nicer hardware to use (in terms of screen, trackpad, keyboard) and third party support from a major vendor with stores and support staff all over the world. It's a no brainer really.
Because it's more of a pain in the arse than OS X to set up and make work with other systems, and doesn't really do much of anything that developers care about that OS X doesn't do. Other than run on cheap crappy hardware (been there, done that, been a Linux user since 1996. My primary machine has been a MacBook Pro since 2011.
4 years down the road the box is out of warranty/support and you'll get a massive performance jump by upgrading the machine - far more than sticking an extra few sticks of RAM in the box will give.
People keep bitching about the limited hardware choices with apple gear, but the simple fact is that whilst you may think you're getting something big by being able to tweak spec to the Nth degree, you simply don't. Games being an exception, somewhat.
The big performance jumps are had by upgrading from one generation to another, not by obsessing over minor differences between particular models of part within a particular product generation.
The available measures are somewhat broken though. Cats are just differently motivated. "Failing" an intelligence test that the cat has no interest in completing doesn't mean they're stupid.
Uh.... plug camera into Mac. Import into iPhoto. (or with the camera kit for the ipad, import into the iPad instead, but I work on potos on my mac). Forget about it, the photos sync to all devices. See photos on my iPad on my computer? They're in photostream. Things do get hard if to try and make them more difficult than they need to be.
... if you want the internet to work. why? because we don't have commit rate for every use to access everything at full end user line rate. There is over-subscription as connectivity fans out to the edge. Over-subscription means that in order for things like VOIP and video to work, some traffic MUST be prioritised and other traffic MUST be dropped in order to accommodate this reliably.
No. I do not enjoy finding work-arounds or bug-fixes for broken-as-sold hardware that I paid good money for. I'm not interested in "accomplishment" from building a PC because it is menial unskilled labour despite what a bunch of nerds might want you to believe.
No, they were sold DOA. Having to somehow flash firmware on a storage device typically used for a system drive on a new PC before I can expect to use it is inexcusable.

Ah, but Linus has called such claims nonsense.
FreeBSD for me, thanks.

But... it's open! Anything is free to use it! Never mind that neither android nor iOS currently can...

Given that apple offer applecare on machines for 3 years, false statement is false.

I dunno, GCC has been around since before Linux existed and still sucks ass in many respects.

That's classified.
So what you're saying is that they drank the cool-aid, and have a distinct lack of critical thinking ability.
No, it's the sign of a schizophrenic platform that has not matured yet.
You know that being 70, he could have been in the workforce 5 (or less) years ago, right?

Yes. But hey don't let facts get in the way of slash-tards having a whine about somebody else's choice.
I have.

Clearly never used a mac multi-touch trackpad.
I was running 1024x768 in 1992.

they didn't post the worst case scenario at all.
