Sorry, Apple, and Apple fans, but that's how it goes.

33. You're right. I thought I started neutral but I have BECOME a "hater."

Apple is wrong on this. But I have hopes that this might change. However,
all in all, yes I think I really don't like Apple after having thought long and
hard about this for a few weeks now. One of the major factors was that
too many people are waaaaay too invested in telling me how wonderful they are and
how the warts are not warts and even if they were (not that they're implying
that cause they're not so shut up) everybody does it so everything is fine.

So, I guess I've evolved towards being quite negative towards Apple. I see
yet another multinational corporation acting just like any multinational does
but with a chorus of very strong advocates who get offended at the very
notion that this might be true. Then these people bandy about the term "hater"
because OBVIOUSLY the stated problem has nothing to do with the actual issue --
"haters" as I understand it are just envious that Steve Jobs was such a visionary
and made a revolutionary and superior product line that "just works"
and gets you to "think different."

So, I officially accept being classed as a "hater" although I will assert
that my status there is an evolution, not a starting place. Now that this
has devolved into team sports you should tell me what your team name
is so I don't use the offensive names I'm thinking up right now.

Finally, accusations of game playing usually are an indication that more
substantial comebacks related to the argument at hand are not readily available.
