You guys do realise right that not everyone who likes Apple products is a mindless zombie? I've even waited in line for the iPhone and the George Street store opening, but that doesn't mean I think every product they release is good.

Yes I do, however most of the people I know that have bought an apple product belive it is the only smartphone/mp3 player/etc. that exists, or they are fanbois.

I never queue up to buy anything during launch, some people queue up to buy something you have never see before, these are very much mindless zombie.

Yeah let's hate on apple because they are genius marketers and the other companies aren't

The anti-Apple crowd are far, far more vocal and annoying IMO.

That's because you love Apple, so you're hardly objective. My wife brought home an ipod that she has to use for emails at work. Three days of trying everything won't get it to connect to the wi-fi at home. Oh let me guess; Apple products all just work out of the box, they're all incredibly user-friendly, so it must be my fault. Maybe I'm not holding it properly. Imagine if I bought a bed from Ikea, put it together according to the instructions provided, then it collapsed and when I complained they said it was because I didn't know how to lie down properly.

Buying a product doesn't make you a fanboi.

Bleating on blindly about how it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, does.

Sorry, I meant my ADSL wireless router. Whatever you call it, it and ipod don't want to talk, turned on or not, wi-fi association button pushed, every code on every bit of paper tried etc etc. Two laptops, a telephone and a tele talk to it, no probs, but not the ipod.
