Apple is, well...bad.

Somebody asked me why I didn't like Apple and it clicked. The mindset of the entire company.
I was in an Apple store with a broken iPod. The manager of the store, ya know, the person that has worked there long & well enough to represent the company in the best light? The manager says to me: "You actually took the time to read the warranty?"
What? I take pride in knowing what's happening. Being ruled by Apple is where it's at. I like being served by the companies I buy from. That doesn't include, well...Apple.

PS Open source is where it's going. Google "open source" before you buy a kind of software. Any kind.
