Anti-Apple News Popular?
In: Default
21 Aug 2006Has anyone else noticed that when Apple does something wrong, the coverage of the stories tend to be reported by twice as many places that report Apple “good news”? Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be a lot of ill feelings towards Apple’s recent success and I tend to see a lot of “nyah-nyah” stories around. I realize that Apple may bring some of this on themselves with their “arrogant” marketing (which really works), but that doesn’t change the rabid migration towards Apple “defects”.
Answer me this, of the following companies, which one have you heard the most about in the past 3 - 6 months:
- Dell and their exploding laptops
- HP and…
- Sony and their… uhh Vaios?
- AOL and their crumblage
- Apple and their overheating Macbook/Macbook Pros, Macbook mooing, Mac OS X Viruses, Lack of announcements at a developer’s conference..and…
I tend to think that its my list of sites in my RSS aggregator (of which, only 5 are apple sites), but I also think its a burning desire of all those “annoyed” by Apple’s popularity. What say ye?

Google returns 227.000.000 hits ‘apple good’ and 97.300.000 on ‘apple bad’.
So yeah, it’s just you.

Yeah. That makes absolutely no sense at all, but thanks for playing.

I agree with you; I had a iMac G5 for just a year, but went back to FreeBSD.
The whole attitude of Apple towards his customers is very very bad. The sales staff in the shops (with a few exeptions) are very arrogant; at least here in the Netherlands.
They think, Apple is Gods gift to mankind but sorry its not; Okee, the way they build their machines is good, no doubt about that, but their attitude towards customers sucks, as is M$.
I stick to FreeBSD, it always works and has workt for the last 15 years (at least for me)
I got a running system in 4 min flat and 3 min later I got my apache-server running (I work with 15000 rpm scsi hdd at home)
So to Apple? “shove it”!!!

A running FreeBSD system in less than 10 minutes is not common. I guess your 15 years of experience has paid off. I doubt this would be the case for the majority of power users out there, but thanks for your insight. Clearly, Apple is not for everyone.
Sorry about your bad experiences in the Netherlands. It’s quite the opposite where I’m at.
