Sem is only showing that consumers will ignore the ills of brands that have successfully lifestyle adopted them. I mean who wouldn't defend a brand that makes them feel accepted and part of something? Putting him down and attacking his opinions is a flailing attempt to protect your own opinions, opinions that don't need to be believed and adopted by all, but are reinforced inside yourself by advertising.
Re: ZOOP's example of Nike, the sweatshop culture behind them is a very deciding factor in myself never purchasing any of their products, but nothing floors me more than watching shoppers (read mainlanders) coming into Hong Kong from China to buy stacks of that shit when the factory conditions are literally so close to home. I'm like seriously? Are you that much of a fucking consumer?
I also find apple's fanboys to be a huge incentive, if not the main reason, to avoid the brand. Loudmouths have a billion things to say positively about them, but rarely recognize the thing has been consistently filled with more and more parts manufactured by other PC manufacturers, some of whom apple has the audacity to sue after stealing so many of other's ideas themselves.
If you have the effort to hate on Dells, HPs, Lenovos etc, but you've used a Mac for the last X amount of time, where are you drawing your hate from? It can't be experience. Oh the BSOD? apple has that problem too. It's not hard to fuck up an apple, actually just as easy to use it incorrectly. They are after all essentially the same product on the inside.
The main contributing factor to the rise in mac sales is marketing, not usefulness. they have simply become the lifestyle possession they have continually advertised for the last 30 years.
It is only recently in the overall timeline that apple has adopted the intel processor, therefore opening it up to run software which has been almost exclusively PC based for decades.
Only by adopting PC technology have they been able to remain relevant as their hardware was the main reason that software was not not being ported to it. Not to mention manufacturing their own hardware was cutting too deep into their profits.
This is most easily exemplified by when they began producing iPods and gave up manufacturing their server options. Why invest in reliable hardware anymore when they can just glue their new cheaply manufactured, overpriced toy shut and advertise you into believing you need to buy the same product next quarter because of minor minor changes?
- so, what your saying you like Beats by Dre then? especially when listening on your iphone?autoflavour
