Default 5 Reasons you Should be Scared of Apple (Cracked)

http://www.cracked.com/article_18377...red-apple.html

I use apple products, and likely this thread will just degenerate into a pro vs. anti- Apple war... but it is a very interesting read.

I have no problem except with the last one about the new patent request.

Everyone sucks for using apple products!

They're evil!

I know this because they didn't give me a job!

Edit: just read that.. it's very true.. seriously, when I had interviews they barely told me anything about the job.

I'm fairly invested into Apple products but I gotta say, if they ever pull #5 on me I won't be buying another Apple device again.

Newp. Sorry, but that particular Elvis has left the building.

(PS: There's a difference between being defensive and having to defend oneself.)

Safari only downloaded with iTunes if you were illiterate or too lazy to read what you were downloading with the update.

You can change the channel when a commercial comes on - it doesnt lock a device you own.

I do find it annoying that the Safari download keeps coming up on Itunes updates...I don't want it, stop bugging me.

If #5 ever comes to pass my iPhone will soon find its way into the bottom of my sock drawer with the other discarded electronic devices or alternately will be smashed into a million tiny little bits.

This line makes me laugh out loud: Caught between a rock and a hard place, Foxconn did the only thing a self-respecting sociopathic megacorporation could: torture the crap out of their employee.

I can't wait until I am a captain of industry.
