Apple marketing has irritated me forever. From back in the days with the snail for a Pentium - at a time when their hardware was never actually faster than Intel's (except for that bogus Photoshop benchmark that everyone cited). Now the the current dork vs. the hip youth that speaks Japanese. Apple has never impressed me with any actual accomplishment - it survives via marketing that makes it's consumers feel superior to the rest of the world (this means you Slashdot). They're purely a branding company that lives on this site because they're not Microsoft. Way to go Apple!
