I’ll gladly keep my job at Costco where I make $19.80/h ($29.70 on Sundays) and have great benefits including a great 401k and full medical benefits. Screw working for Apple.

Sure the goods sold are rather expensive, but so are Tiffany’s

Yes, they certainly like to whine a lot about price. They’re not content with simply *not buying* Apple products, they want everyone else to know how much they’re not buying them as loudly as possible.

I like what the UNIX heritage offers to the OS, granting it much of the security and functionality that Linux enjoys. I like that the in-house hardware and software design means hardware functions like sleep mode work with much more consistency and reliability. I also like the GUI design for the OS, specifically the Human Interface Guidelines and the consistency of appearance and behaviour that it encourages programmers to follow when designing apps.

I don’t put Apple on a pedestal, they make mistakes just like any other company (Skeuomorphic Calendar and Contacts apps? Eugh). I like Apple for their successful product designs in the exact same way I like Microsoft for their success with the Xbox 360. If anything, Macs have enabled me to enjoy Windows *more* by focusing on using it for what it excels at (Windows-only games), and not use if for the features/quirks that drive me crazy.
