Here We Go...

Apple users are idiots. There you heard me say it. You are all a bunch of mindless, zombie, cash cows. When are you going to learn that your beloved company just takes advantage of your fervor?

The ipod realease a "greatest ever" version ever other month. I remember when I almost bought one when Jobs came out and said, "This is the ultimate Ipod. It does xy&z. You'll never need anything else." One month later, "Hey, we just made an Ipod that plays video now! You gotta have it." Until a month later. No thanks.

Now, either Apple has the fastest research and development process in history or they know they have something better in the near pipeline when they try to sell you the "newest" thing. The next model has got to actually be in the boxes while they are promoting their current product as the "top of the line". Not convinced? Well, they've done it again.

CEO Steve Jobs apologized and offered $100 credits Thursday to customers who shelled out $599 for the most advanced model of the iPhone, only to have the company unexpectedly slash the price $200 in a push to boost holiday sales. So basically, we know those first idiots will spend anything for our new product so let's jack the price up on them. But we've already planned to slash it (Translation: Sell it for the price we always intended) to draw in new (smart)customers and we'll apologize by giving them $100 back and still make a nifty $100 on their loyalty.

I've finally figured out who Steve Jobs is...
