So apparently your judging rap, pop, country, classical, etc... from your limited contact with them via Radio? mp3.com? what...?
All music has crap in it, but every style has some gems...
a few quick examples
Underground Hip Hop (anti pop consortium, mos def)
Country music (johnny cash, bob dylan)
Pop Music (talking heads/david byrne, Pizzicato 5)
Classical (Steve Reich, Phillip Glass, Bartok)
whatever... open your mind...
The purism of the/. community is commendable in someway, but in all honesty just because you can build a computer for real cheap, and run it off open source software, etc... doesn't necessarily mean it will do everything everyone needs, or that it's the best way to compute (or that you should snootilly look down on those who don't).
It reminds me of the punk scene, rave scene, and any other scenesters I've come in contact with. "What? you don't run linux? you sellout!"
I make good artwork with my computer, and I don't have the time to write my own drivers every time I want to install new stuff.
And doesn't it really come down to enjoyment, and what you actually do with a computer that makes it useful?
Or has everyone got so involved in petty details they forgot that it's a good thing to have a bit of style with it. (god knows the computer scene could use some style)
so give apple a break, people enjoy using their machines... is that a bad thing?
