They did, but the ideas were not new nor innovative. They accomplished their goal through good marketing. That is not to say that is a bad thing. Taking something people won't buy and turning it to something this big is not something anyone can do. But they didn't create new technology. They didn't have good engineering that would put an established technology into some new use. Whatever they had, it was done before. They just made it look classy.

Innovative is definitely debatable, but like them or not they're great at taking existing concepts and refining them in ways other companies don't. Their products are a joy to use. Remember how clumsy smartphones were before the iPhone?

That sort of thing depends on the user, really. I remember some phones before iphone which I'd enjoy using more actually. (I prefer complicated but more controllable over simple but not customizable) They just weren't as well known as apple.

It's not like I think apple is completely useless. I understand that it has its users all around the world who couldn't manage to work with more complicated devices. They made everything easy. So I like apple as devices that allow people interact with computers more easily and seamlessly.

What I can't seem to put up with is people repeating apple's marketing and actually believing them. From time to time I hear people say stuff like "apple computers (mac) are faster" or "apple devices are innovative" or "Mac OS has better applications than windows" which are simply not true.

Easy to use? Yes. Superior?

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot the fact that all their devices are overpriced. That is the biggest problem I have with apple. It makes people think it's cool, and then charges twice for it. I hate anything that is ridiculously overpriced and all apple devices fall into that category.

No ding!

I hate it when a trophy doesn't pop

Edit: nevermind I got it.

[Tassadar]

Just one thing to say, I don't think Harry Potter would say yo.

[Gare]

That is all.

[gezegond]

Thank you for your kind words and pictures.

[Gypsy]

That is all.

Sounds about right.

[Gypsy]

Nice tag gare.

[Drageuth]

Fuck, I just ran into the part my buddy was telling me about. Think I need to take a break from this game for a bit.

[Gypsy]

So one person has now bought 3 ps2s from me off Ebay. I'm mildly suspicious.

[Gypsy]

After garage sales and shit today I hopped on the interwebs and got on CL. Got this pile for $20. I'm pretty pleased.

[Drageuth]

It's drugs.

[Gypsy]

It's drugs.

I was thinking they are building Skynet out of PS2s.

[Gypsy]

Oh and I got Uncharted 2 brand new from Target for $6. The deal is now dead though.
