In reply to the discussion: Why does Apple keep gouging it's customers? [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)My friend, who is a progressive has become a machead. He works at an internet start up company and was looking to venture into apps and such and had always told me Android has no apps and there weren't enough users to worry about Android... blah blah blah... So about 6 months ago or so, I had been reading articles about how Android had the biggest market share both worldwide and in the US. So I mentioned that to him and his response was "You may think that's true but..." I sent him the links as soon as I could and never heard a peep back. But the point is that he just has a knee jerk response because he has been brainwashed into simply believing all things Apple are better and mightier in all ways. He drank the iKoolaid and is living in the iBubble.
*Note: I have a Mac desktop and a PC laptop and an Android phone. I use the Mac because it runs Final Cut Pro that the PC won't and I need it for my profession. And I actually underpaid because I bought it used from my friend's business and he gave me a great deal. I don't think the OS of either is better or worse, just a tiny bit different. I use the pc for my hobbies because people write all kinds of software tools I can use that aren't ported to Macs, and my pc was half the price of a MBP and has better specs. I have an Android phone because I don't want to live in a controlled ecosystem and they're better phones and I can customize it to my liking.
