For the last few years I, along with the rest of the tech world have been bombarded by trendy marketing and smug users. The first thing that comes to mind when I think about smug/arrogant people is usually a MacBook. After that comes the iPod and then the Nintendo Wii - both of which use the Abercrombie Generation as their primary base.
I always had people trying to explain their logic in getting a Mac. The problem is, if you have to explain the logic of anything to a logical person you have already lost your argument. Why get a MacBook?
- I need it for iTunes
- I am a film major
- I am an art major
- I like to act like I am typing a screenplay while sipping my chai tea at a hippy coffee shop.
These are the typical explanations you can expect from anyone in the market for a new Mac (the 4th is usually unsaid and simply implyed by the user glancing up every 5 seconds to make sure someone sees that they have a Mac).
The Mac has never really been cool to own until the iPod came around. The worst part about this is that the iPod needs to have iTunes on a computer. The problem with iTunes is that it is a garbage program. Sure, it might run well on a Mac but it simply cannot work on a PC without bringing an error at some point. My PC has crashed multiple times just trying to run iTunes. Considering Apple is supposed to make great flawless software from the heavens I am just a little surprised that they can't develop software for the PC.
I am convinced that Apple purposely designed iTunes to suck the life out of any PC it is installed on.
The case is similar with the Nintendo Wii - the ultimate yuppy gaming machine. I used to think it was for little kids until I saw the true target audience - on their Macs. It all makes since now - Apple is in kahoots with Nintendo in a plot to take over the world through trendy marketing and juvenile gimmicky kids games.
