                  apple did not invent the computer or the laptop so they are completely ripping off someone...

                      If I find out anyone is ripping anyone off I will shove a bottle of Tequila up their ass!

                      I actually like eating apples. I don't Krypton had apples.

                      I have a serious question..... Why is there not an HP Envy17 ??? I would rather have a 17"

                                  Not surprising. Apple owns the >$1500 computer market. It's only logical that others would want to step into that piece of the market, since it happens to be rather lucrative.

                                                      It's called "Envy" for the exact reason this thread was made.

                                                      They envy Apple.

The thing is mac people think they are fighting the man (gates) by buying a mac who has this misnomer about being anti-establishment. Steve Jobs is the biggest capitalist there is and is just as, if not more greedy that Gates. But he sold that story to mac heads like david koresh did to the branch davidians. Mac people are like tree huggers. They mean well, but you want to slap the taste out of their mouths.

People don't realize how much corporate greed is at the center of the Apple story. The reason they don't own the PC market is because they never wanted to give up anything and be open the way PCs and Windows are. Not to mention, if Apple owned the PC market, computer technology would be about 10 years behind what it is today. The open architecture of the PC is what caused the whole computer technology boom. Tons of different companies can always move an industry faster than one, which is what Apple wants.

But they are about as "corporate" as you can get.

By keeping the iphone and iphone apps all under one roof, they will slowly become a niche player in the smartphone market, just like what happened with PCs. Eventually, the smartphone will be like PCs and Microsoft will run the software underneath for most of them with tons of apps and an open architecture that lets anyone build a phone.

                                                                                                          Apple was the original mainstream PC, then they got greedy, didn't want open architecture, and became a niche player. They are doing the same with the smartphone.
