Even the title of this post smells like "another one of those HN Apple fanboys declaring his adoration". The article itself is even worse:
"The world divides into people who think of Apple as a company, and people who think of Apple as a brand..."
- joe_the_user 14y agoYes, just "fanboy" stuff... The power of the Apple brand is an important factor for Apple, sure. But the article provides almost no analysis of the distinction between company and brand and how they play out. It merely touted the brand part.
- yalogin 14y agoApple fanboy is an insult only in the tech world. Apple has cultivated a certain image among regular people and that is what he was talking about. Also not everything is about the Google-Apple war. Both of them can exist and be discussed by themselves :)
- kaffiene 14y agoI completely agree. I read that first sentence and thought: what about people that don't care either way? Apparently, I don't exit.
