I was at the grocery store the other day, Whole Foods, up in Fresno after church. I was talking to the ladies behind the cash register and the smart phone topic came up. They were both android fans. I have an android also. I mentioned how some Mac folks get under my skin sometimes, and they both said, "Apple people are like a cult!" We all laughed.
My best friend with whom I work is a MAC FREAK! He doesn't have the $$$ to buy a Mac laptop or desktop, but phone and every other thing is nothing but Mac. His dad, whom I love, is a Mac devotee. He has Apple TV, Mac laptops, I-phone, I-pad, you name it. Hardcore.
Is it just me or are Mac users like religious zealots? Android and PC users don't try to convert people and obsess and preach and try to win your heart like Mac people. Apple fans are just relentless. They love to point out the history of these machines and try to debate you on every single thing. Pixar is Mac, George Lucas is a Mac buff, Mac invented the mouse and all these graphics and this and that and the other. Mac this, Mac that.
Is it just me? Does anyone else notice these people who'll line up for miles and camp out for days to get new I-phones acting like Lord of the Rings fans at a premier? LOL.....
All I hear is how user-friendly and utterly amazing I-phones are an how awful and endlessly difficult android phones are AND YET my android HTC phone is a piece of cake and most others I have messed with are as well?
Anyone else get tired of hearing about Mac and annoyed by the fact these people act like druids? LOL
Steve Jobs was ruthless in business, hard to work for, outsourced stuff up in the ying-yang, and started a secret spying group within Apple to spy on employees and hunt down leaks. They have so much off-shore corruption and high-pressured employee environments, why do they treat Apple like this Xanadu?
My buddy will never get mad at me. He's so easy-going. He's not religious at all. He's one of those "I'm spiritual not religious" wibbly-wobbly guys when it comes to God. He questions the Bible, is super cynical about how it came to be, is totally pro-evolution, and is fine with most modern abortion, gay, and other situations. Live and let live, real kick-back and fancy free.....UNTIL YOU CRITICIZE MAC! He'll bite your face off! If you criticize Mac, he'll call you a dumb, ignorant, toothless Tea Party redneck uninformed idiot! LOL....it's Jeckyl and Hide on steroids! For some people I know, Apple is like a church!
