Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

Same reason I don't like sony. They're too busy telling the people who buy the fucking products what they're allowed to do with them, and spend the rest of the time creating proprietary shit that traps their customers.

Hardware is great. Everything else is pretty much an abusive spouse.

The hardware is locked down and proprietary. I wouldn't call it great.

The hardware quality, seeing as I already spoke upon the programming and philosophy. Sorry, thought that was clear.
