Why are there so many articles, mostly condescending or blatantly speculative, about all this Apple? I can't, for the life of me, understand this.
They do what they do and that's it. Only Apple understands what Apple does. No one else. How is that not clear?
Sorry for the rant.
- std_throwaway 9y agoPeople want Apple to be successful because they like(d) their products.
- LaSombra 9y agoI want some companies to be successful but I won't be writing about them to death and speculate and pretend I know better, writing articles "teaching them" what they should focus on and etc. Really? Do you think it's reasonable the amount of people that seems to devote themselves to this?
- chongli 9y agoI want Apple to be successful because all of their competitors' products have annoying quirks and reliability issues. Ultimately, I'd love to see a company actually try to compete with Apple on quality but it doesn't seem likely to happen.

- Ensorceled 9y agoI enjoyed the article. What I can't understand is why people feel the need to make this kind of comment. Do you want me to explain why I enjoyed it? Or do you get some personal satisfaction from publishing your bewilderment?
