Apply is most closed company on earth , they believe dominance thru monopoly and they seem to be more closed even M$ .
All their product are closed , user have no control or choice . Steve Job philosophy my way or highway
Look at thier products
iPod : User cannot change battery ,what if my iPod battery dies ?
Apple solution : Get a new iPod !! if you are warranty send it us we will change it
iTunes : Only thing works with is itunes client installed , How I am supposed to buy stuff if I use linux desktop
iPhone : Locked to particular network (AT&T) , users have to buy 3rd party software to unlock it
Mac : Minimal games , softwares you can work without boot camp
MacOsX : Only comes with mac hardware
Apple is company with specializes creating hype and creating eye candy stuff , their business model is based creating vendor lock in and monopoly
No wonder there is 2 billion $ class action law suite coming up against them
Technically Medicores company with good designer with rock star marketing guy Steve jobs , we refuse to take this shit from your overpriced products and monopolistic tactics .We want more freedom and value if ever want to increase your market share more that 1%
Until then I guess solution for me is to use KickBista Linux (based on kubuntu) and dual boot to windows when I want play games
I SAY NO APPLE AND WILL NEVER BUY APPLE PRODUCT TILL THEY SHUN MONOPOLISTIC TACTICS , what about you 
?

I agree, the way Apple do things sucks!
Great design and cool features.. but monopolys won’t go very far.
Like akshat, most people buy Appe because people would envy them. What world is this?
