Well everytime when i want to buy something the first i think is "do i really need it" and then i buy it or not, its as simple as that.
I have no use for IPhone, i just need a cell phone, so i dont buy it, but in my circle of friends and acquaintances, almost every one bought IPhones because its a "must have" to be seen with. I still have my W595 thats good for me, i dont need more.
And i dont really care about Steve Jobs, the guy is dead get over it.
I dont give a dam who is inventing the stuff i buy, regardless of whether his Name is Steve Jobs or Puppulu Frufullu, i dont care about such hype.

And btw i surely can afford Apple products, but such huge amount of money i do rather spend them for beer and alcohol and a good party. ;)

We have a lot in common then :grin:

I hope they invent a normal priced computer which is 20 times as fast as the one I'm on right now so I can play Cliffs of Dover in full detail running incredible framerate :)

Well that makes absolute sense, but the fact that you have friends that are into status symbols has nothing to do with the quality of Apple products.

Well then you don't understand the importance of visionary geniuses for the sake of technology advance. Jobs promoted an idea and technology that now everybody is copying, that should be more than enough to understand the importance of the man. The fact that he didn't affect you directly (or maybe he did but you don't realise it), doesn't mean again that the man was a genius.

For the other parts of your post:
Well then we should agree to disagree. Thats ok for me. ;)

very young? Hmm i wouldnt say 46 is very old, so yes i'm still very young. :grin:
You should give an allnighter a try, tons of beer, fags, pretty girls, Northern Soul and 2-Tone Music, nice way to spend a weekend. ;)

All that tecnology and there are still bellhops, valet, drivers, cooks, clerks, and all the other non-techo to facilitate the efficient techo users. What a crock of cannoli.

Have you ever heard of MS' Think Tank?
That's a research facility with several dozens employees - their only task is to think about our future needs in about 10 years - be it soft- or hardware.

Btw: Samsung is expected to launch the first flexible Galaxy cellphone next year.

I liked the video, even tho it tried to appeal to everyone somehow...and what exactly is up with all the haters of Microsoft...Windows 7 is really awesome.

Let's put it this way: The average Apple consumer spends about $2500 to read his email, watch youtube and listen to mp3s. :D

Now, the point I don't get is:
Everybody praises Apple for being so super easy to operate - what are these things that were so super shitty MS-style difficult?
I am dead serious about this question, I really don't know, never had any problems and the only BSODS I had were provoked due to OC'ing or installing incompatible HW.
:confused:

i hardly hardly use the mobil phone
