re: Apple's product strategy in a nutshell

I really don't see how someone over the age of 15 can ever take such an adversarial stance towards a brand based on preference.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. Where does the chest bumping and trash talking come into it?

You're just feeding the pretentious cult by taking a position against them. Just treat it like any other product you decide against and forget it once you've made your choice.
