I own a mac, iphone and an ipod, but wouldn't say that I'm a minion, as I don't actually care about nerdy things, I just want to do my thing, and Apple makes well made products.
Now that there is a store here, their customer service is great, as I remember having to ship my Dell to freaking Mulletville, where they just sold me a new cord (not on warranty) and charged me $400. Oh, and they just had the computer left on my doorstep, no signature, or anything, $3000 computer left out on the step all day.
Now, If I have a problem, I take it to the store and have someone figure it out right there. Not to mention, they don't weasel on their warranty, like the losers at Dell did. Dell took $500 extra from me to upgrade the screen when I ordered. When I looked behind the screen trim, guess what? un-upgraded screen. I had to hound those pricks for two months to get a refund.

I'm not saying anything about the company, I'm typing this on an Apple keyboard right now...I'm saying that Steve Jobs is a dishonest prick. That said, the Genius Bar failed spectacularily when we tried to figure out what was wrong with my mom's iphone and the idiot at the Genius Bar ended up erasing all her contacts and entire address book and it couldn't be re-synced as there is no backup (she doesn't use a computer with itunes).
What I am saying is that I can't stand Steve Jobs and he's the last person I'd look at to be an inspirational figure because of his past antics. It's like how some people can't stand Donald Trump's personality. But there is a reason both those guys are successful businessmen. His reality distortion field is just a cult of personality and constant marketing speak.
