But don't you guys realize they milk the sh*t out of there brands aswell?

I mean the Ipad was big and did really well when released. But then less then a year later they slapped a camera on it and slightly upgrade the hardware then drove the price up as much as they could with it. Then the Ipad 3 or Ipad?? (have no idea why they just called it the same name as the original), they made the screen resolution better which barely made a difference to being with, most people wouldn't even notice the screen was always great on the Ipad 2, and of course slapped a high price tag on that and money in the bank, it's ridiculous, atleast try to introduce new useful features.

Same as there phones.


Not sure if you are serious or just uninformed. The standard Wi-fi only 16GB Ipad has always been 499. 1st gen, 2nd gen and 3rd gen. When a new iPad releases, the prices for each of the versions (16gb, 32gb, wifi only, 3g) stays exactly the same as the last gen model. What exactly do you mean by the bolded?

You think $500 is reasonable?

Because they do what every company wish they could do sell products for a 300% profit and move millions of units



Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve.

Considering that high-end Android tablets are only now coming under that price point after nearly two years on the market, yeah, it's reasonable.

The Mac had superior graphics capabilities for many years. Thus, it earned a following among people who worked in art and design industries (including newspapers and television production). It was also years ahead of PCs with an easy-to-use, plug-and-play architecture. That is why those who came to Macs early tend not to go back, even though almost every PC deficiency has been overcome.

Similarly, Apple delivered the best MP3 playing experience via the iPod and had an integrated, successful music store through iTunes. The iPhone set an early standard as well, though Samsung's Galaxy series is probably a better unit but the Galaxy is still lacking in the quality of its store experience (Google Play seems to be the third incarnation in a bit over a year of what started as the Android Store). Plus Apple demands uniformity from its carriers while the Android universe does not ... so in one case you know what you are getting while in the other you are not so sure.

I have an iPad (from work) and I love it for some things. But I hate that Apple products do not recognize Flash (which still makes up more of the Internet than anyone in Cupertino is willing to admit) and that its PC products seem to need to update themselves monthly.

I got bad news for you Mike. Windows8 won't support Flash out of the box, nor will it support DVD or BlueRay.

Oh and here is my favorite iSheep gif!

I bought my 20'' iMac more than 5 years ago. Looks like this:

I can't speak about other Apple products as this is the only Apple product I ever bought, but my "late 2006" (Apple term) iMac is by far the most reliable and most silent computer I ever owned (very important for my buying decision as I hate computer noise). If it ever breaks I'll most probably buy another iMac. I wouldn't be surprised though if it lasts one year or even a few years longer. iMacs may not be very popular these days, especially compared to other Apple products, but they are still my most favorite product line from that company.

So my answer is: quality & reliability.

Yes, because everybody has a use for Linux.

Oh, wait. No, they don't. I've spent plenty of time in Linux for various tasks but there's no need for 99% of the population to ever touch the operating system.
