Can you blame him? I don't like most people who buy his products. They're generally ill-informed idiot fanboys who immediately dismiss any competition and claim some sort of superiority because they spent money on a product. There's a reason the smug, hipster idiot apple fan boy stereotype exists: there's a shitload of truth to it.

Or maybe they just found it easy to use, and aren't the type of person to spend time re-rooting & customizing an android phone.

If they knew what that meant, that would be an excellent point. Instead, they're people who haven't touched the competition, don't know a thing about what features are available on other phones, and are quick to jump on the shit talking bandwagon without being even remotely informed. Their iPhone is a status symbol and somehow owning it makes them better people. And while they may derided rooting, they have no problem trumpeting the benefits of jailbreaking. Not even saying that shit behavior doesn't happen elsewhere, because Android and Crackberry people can be pretty damn myopic. But the iPhone fan tards are infinitely worse.

If Jobs wasn't around, something else would have filled the void.
Creative people tend to be creative
If macs weren't around they would just use whatever else.

Not everyone who uses Apple products are fan boys. They will try other brands and manufacturers. They will research before they end up buying Apple. Hell, I have a Mac.

To be a fan boy, you have to unconditionally love the products and find no fault. You won't consider any other brand, no matter if it's better or the cost difference. Steve wasn't a big fan of those people. Look up the funny emails some of them got, he was a prick. LOL

He tried to run out on his kid.
He shut down all charitable giving at apple.
I hear he would go to dog parks dressed as Peter Pan, find the cutest puppy there and then run up and bite off the puppies penis...preferably in front of a small child.
I hear he gave Ronald Reagan AIDS back in the 80's and that's what really killed Reagan a few years back.
I saw a discovery channel special back in the 90's that revealed Steve Jobs to be the one responsible for the Crack epidemic. Rumors were that the CIA did it for the lulz but they showed documents that indicated that Steve would register at hotels under the name "Caroline Ingrid Anders" between the years 1976 and 1983 and would frequent various inner cities.
I saw on Fox and Friends that Steve Jobs convinced Fox broadcasting to kill Arrested Development and that his Arab father would drive around arabia selling chickens to goat herders.
Fucking goat herders...

I agree. When I went looking for a netbook/small laptop for school I looked into apple. I thought they were sturdy looking laptops (since I am rough with them). But the price drove me away. It think it was $500+ for a similar computer to my Toshiba. If the Macbook was only $100 more I may have considered it.

Here at my school though it if you have an apple you are a fanboy/girl/chaz bono. My theory is that if you see someone with an Imac (or is it iMac?), then it is a good guess they weren't the one who paid for it nor could they tell you the cost of it. On the college level. Which of course makes up a good portion of the protesters. They're also the same people who bitch about having to spend $100 on a text book but won't blink twice when dropping that on a pair pants.

But to each their own. Well actually no not to each their own. That's not fair, I can't afford an iMac or even an iPod. I want one of those too (with my unicorn)
