– Products do not have easily-accessible hardware to coerce users into pondering “why not just replace the whole thing” when a specific piece of hardware needs replacing. A prime example is batteries. Lithium ion batteries are notorious for losing charge capacity over time, yet each piece of hardware is virtually bound to its battery and the result is an intentionally short lifespan.
– Itunes is nigh-unusable in windows and prevents severe limitations across the board. This would not be a problem if it weren’t for the fac that…
– Products rely on proprietary software and do not support third-party modification or management. Proprietary file systems and upgrades cause general file system errors in the best scenarios, and outright destroy equipment in the worst (e.g. hacked iphones being completely disabled).
– Seriously itunes is the shittiest fucking software i have ever used.
I’m sure there are more reasons but apple is the worst company to buy anything from because their only selling point is “HOLY SHIT THIS SURE IS PRETTY AND WITH ONLY ONE BUTTON HOW COULD IT BE TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND?????”
What geek would love a monopoly like apple and hate microsoft? i mean i get why they might hate MS (i dont) but A GEEK LOVING APPLE?? ARE YOU F**KING RETARDED? they are a way bigger monopoly than microsoft.
Ok, I agree the Evil part, as well needs HP, Adobe, AOL and others. In th other side, Apple ? WTF ? Apple Geek ? Apple maybe for “tech wannabes”…
And, Google? maybe a years ago, but now….
It lacks also Commodore C64 Logo in Good side (only realy realy geeks), (take off xbox) and BSD (freeBsd devil) logo.
so where is stumble upon?
and apple good? dont think so!
also I think that the pirate bay should be on there. I know it is goes under Bittorrent maybe, but they’ve done a lot of good for us geeks :) (even thoug i dont really use it)
Omg Who made this. They have to be really dumb. All I have to say yes Wii? is good? WTF, and WHY oh WHY is XBOX Good and Microsoft Evil? WTF. Apple, you dam apple lover, your evil.
Apple on the good side? Really?
Why not?
Haha. I don’t know if I’d call Microsoft evil, but Internet Explorer…. words cannot describe my dislike for it. :)

This picture looks photoshopped. I’ve seen a few ’shops in my day and i can tell because the pixels don’t match up.
“Xbox is microsoft”
No shit. People love Xbox, but hate Microsoft. That’s the way the world is.
“This picture looks photoshopped. I’ve seen a few ’shops in my day and i can tell because the pixels don’t match up.”
I see what you did there. (insert picture of Fry from Futurama or La Forge from Star Trek TNG).
Apple and Microsoft should be on the same side, whichever side that may be. (In my opinion, both are evil in their own way)
“bittorrent?
get that shit offa here
bitlord is the only torrent tool”
They probably mean BitTorrent as in the entire system, not just the client.
Youtube and Google should be on the evil side.
Apple is the worst fucking company in the world.

also i meant “presents” not “prevents”
“Youtube and Google should be on the evil side.”
Why?
I’d argue the idea of youtube is good, but Viacom and Fox fucked it up. Vimeo is much better. Stage 6 was amazing before that.
Also, Apple and Microsoft are evil. Lern2Geek.
I love Vimeo. If Vimeo had the user base that YouTube has and the casual browsing just like them, it would be the best vid site.
Agreed, stage 6 was the best HD site.

Omg Who made this. They have to be really dumb. All I have to say yes Wii? is good? WTF, and WHY oh WHY is XBOX Good and Microsoft Evil? WTF. Apple, you dam apple lover, your evil.
