I am SICK and TIRED of Apple's pettiness. Honestly, all these lawsuits against Android in general and whatnot is driving me batty.
It's childish BULLSHIT. Fuck, man. To me it's like BMW suing Mercedes-Benz because OMG THEY USE A ROUND WHEEL. Or Sony suing Telefunken because their TV's are rectangular with a black bezel. Or because they also use remote controls. WITH BUTTONS. "Fuck you, Telefunken, you can't use buttons on your remote. That was OUR idea! Use a different interface!"
Well fuck. There was a time I thought much more of Apple. I was never a fan, but i thought their products were cool. Desirable even. Heck, i wanted an iMac when they came out. Who didn't? Even now, i like the latest Macbook Pro. I would love to see the retina display.
But here's the thing. Recently i sold my iPod touch. Two reasons - Here in South Africa iTunes and Apple fucks you over. I had to jump through hoops, set my hair on fire WHILE eating a sandwich with codfish on, JUST to get bloody Angry Birds on the thing. Of course, i kinda forgave this shenanigance. But then, after a while, i couldn't even use my iPod without thinking how much Apple pisses me off. I stopped using it altogether. One good thing - resale value is great.
I can't stand the thought that one of the most valuable IT companies in the world will dedicate their fantastic fortune to fucking lawsuits to screw competitors. When did this become good business practice? What the fuck is wrong with "Damn, they are 'copying' our ideas. Hey, let's show them and make it even better! LET's FUCKING INNOVATE!" I can't stand that this bloody fortune is not spent on more important world matters, you know, like fucking research or charity work? Dammit, man.
Anyway, Apple - here is a big, gigantic FUCK YOU. I will never EVER support any of your products on principle. And i will make sure to advise anyone and everyone who trusts my opinion against you.
PS - i don't have an Android phone, so don't yell "OMG FANBOI" at me. I have a BlackBerry. I want BB10. And i'm considering Windows Phone as my secondary device. I'm rooting for the underdogs.
