woawoawoa wait a second.... iPhone only ???? let me add something to the list.... you can add iTune.... iPod..... and iMac.... iSight and so on so forth..... come on there isn't a single sustainable argument that justify the price of any apple hardware... not a single one... beside design and still there IMHO it's still over priced.... and don't throw at me MACOS X first it's the OS that doesn't justify the price of the hardware... I can run a distro of linux on a PC that equal or outrun the qualities of OS X... then more stable... yeah well I crash about as often macs than PCs.... and to finish.... when people tell me more secure my ass.... OS X at the last bench mark took less time to be over taken than vista.... so even there the myth is not true... apple is a Fing scam pricewise FULL STOP.... now when they'll have a mac book pro air at less than $1500 we'll talk

 

Mac OS X is awesome. In fact it's so awesome the guy who won that hacking competition uses macs for everything.

He went on record saying he'd use the money prize to buy a Mac Pro =D

 

He must be an idiot then :p. I love how the argument is always that Mac users are just somehow uneducated as to what they are buying.

I was at a .NET developers conference a few months back, and the Architect of Microsoft Visual Studio was talking. A brilliant man. We asked him a question that he wanted to demonstrate to us. He opened up file explorer to navigate to a directory, and one of his folders said "MacBook Pro Backup". The Mac fans in the audience chuckled, and when he realized what we were laughing at, he just smiled and gave us one of those looks you give when you get caught doing something your not supposed to be doing.

So when a top MS employee uses a Mac, one who is incredibly informed about OS's, something has to be good about it :p
