No, I'm NOT retarded, thankyou.

Okay, so as you may have heard in passing, Apple released a new something-or-other not too long ago.

Not my cup of tea, but hey, live and let live right?

But apparently Apple are targeting the outright stupid with this new product. Apparently, according to advertising, this thing isn't great technology, but magic.

That's right children, get ready to drop near 1000 dollars on a giant iPod that's made of pixie dust and sunshine!

I don't like being condecended at, thank you, and I'm not a 8 year old girl being sold atoy here. You don't have to dumb it down for me.

Um could you clarify this for me? I think I might be too dumb for this thread.

Well I am sitting on my magic box, looking at the magic screen just so I can talk to you right now! Nobody really knows how computers work, and we never need to as long as we make regular sacrifices to the computer gods Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates

The sad reality is that nowadays such marketing ploys actually work.

Oh that iPad thing. Oh well another Apple product that will sell like hotcakes what else is new right?

Personally, I'd never purchase anything from Apple because they have an irritating fanbase and obnoxious marketing.

I believe it's a wireless laptop that has a touch screen function and a on screen keyboard.
Or something like that anyway.

OT: I love pixie dust and sparkly things.

Ah yes, don't know why you'd wanna buy it. Based on the prices I see, you can get a decent laptop for that

[sup]and I must ask, is your new name a reference to a Devil Wears Prada Song? Its been bugging me for a while[/sup]

 

[Kollega]

Arthur Clarke was probably right in his assumptions - but Apple's technology is not that advanced.

 

[Tartarga]

...Sounds quite sparkly to me.

You know the nickname for it is the "Jesus Stone" or something like that?

Really!? Well that could make for some fun conversations.

 

[fenrizz]

Magic you say?
This thing I must have!

No, his name is referring to the Tenacious D song, called Sassafras where someone is tripping on mushrooms and thinks they see Sasquatch.

Ooh lalala, ooh Papagenu, he's my Sassafras...

But you can't say their products aren't good. Their computers are aesthetically pleasing and are easier for newer users to access than Windows and Linux are, and the iPhone is a pretty great piece of technology. I'm also not a fan of their fanbase or marketing tactics, but they make quality products.
