The thing that's been keeping me from buying an Apple device is being associated with their users. This "better than you" attitude is something I just can't stand, it's repulsive. Instead of being ashamed that they wasted $3000 on a computer they could have had for $500 (and could have donated the other $2500), they feel smug about it? WTF!
- jusben1369 14y agoI'm not sure HN does humour well. I suspect that was a little tongue in cheek.
- psionski 14y agoNot at all, I really dislike people that think that just because they bought something expensive, they have rights to brag about how cool they are and how lost everyone else is. The most recent example: a friend of mine posts "Oh, no! My laptop died!", to which a Mac user comments with "That's why I bought a MacBook Pro!". When I mentioned that they fail too, he began talking about the grapes being sour and how poor I am?! I would never want to be associated with people thinking this way, ever. I bet they don't even know what a savings account is.
