Although I have bought some mp3s through Itunes via a gift certificate given to me but I quickly uninstalled it after that.

Apple was voted the least environmentally friendly tech company of 2010 (though I don't recall by which organization) which is ironic given that Al Gore is on their board of directors.

That being said I own an iPod classic and Iphone 3GS which I'll probably replace with an iPhone 5 in the fall.

5/6/2011 8:49:51 AM

Had an iPhone. Got fed up with it and iTunes, switched.

I still have Apple products from work, but that iPhone will be the last one I buy.

5/6/2011 9:00:31 AM

^^well that puts me in a conundrum...


i would buy even more Apple shit just to piss off the environmentalist crazies...


but i don't want to benefit Al Gore in any way

Own a macbook and an iPod touch. Though I still don't know why people want an iPad.

5/6/2011 9:00:42 AM

i've never owned anything made by apple because every time i was looking to purchase a device whose function is served by an apple product, a little research presented me with a better product with a lower price (in my case, at least half the price)...for example:

apple ipod <<< sandisk sansa running rockbox
apple tv <<< patriot box office
apple airport <<< tp-link tl-wr1043nd
apple macbook <<< dell XPS13
apple itunes <<< every other option

the only thing in that list that might be arguable is the macbook vs dell XPS13...the dell runs hot (though my old HP ran hotter) and it's heavy, but between the discrete graphics and proc, it ran much faster than a macbook costing twice the price, and the extra weight and marginally higher heat output is well worth the increase in performance

i realize the whole apple thing of "it just works," but i rarely have trouble with the products i choose over apple's equivalent, so it's a moot point...my stuff isn't usually as pretty, either, but i prefer a lower price and functionality over form

i don't want a medal or a cookie...i just look down on those who think their apple products are functionally better than ALL of their equally- or lesser-priced non-apple counterparts (obviously apple stuff IS quality and is better than a great deal of the competition)

5/6/2011 9:02:45 AM

Recently sold out to apple and I love all their products: 2011 Macbook Pro, Airport Express, and iPhone4

5/6/2011 9:03:54 AM

my new macbook pro is pretty sweet

cool story thread bros

i was forced into using apple products at work...

so i bought my first apple laptop so i could do work at home and on the road if needed...


then one day i realized i could barely function trying to use a PC anymore...


i'm not an apple purist or anything...it's just what i'm used to now and i'm ok with that

Don't worry about that either, Macbook's don't exactly run cool either.

To their credit their customer service is fantastic (at least for me). When my iPod broke 4 years after I bought it they replaced it for free and even paid for the shipping.

and FTR I've had an iPod for almost 6 years and have never purchased music (or anything else) off iTunes

5/6/2011 9:08:40 AM

when i bought my mba this year, i couldn't find another same-sized laptop w/ a ssd that was = or < in price. a comparable dell was $200 more. i refused to own hp or anything like that. bad past experiences. i use ssds bc i sit in a rocking chair at home, & rock A LOT, & don't want to mess up a computer with moving parts. i used to have an ibm & i would have to sit perfectly still bc the hard drive would stop when i moved (an automatic protection feature).

i do really like my dell precision t3500 w/ win7 at work though. the mouse/cursor tracking on an apple is kinda weird & i wouldn't want to use one for what i do at work (and playing wolfenstein )

5/6/2011 9:09:08 AM

My iPhone was way faster and more reliable than the shitty Droid I have now.

5/6/2011 9:09:29 AM

I'm also curious as to how someone could get "fed up" with an iPhone

5/6/2011 9:10:41 AM

Seriously... i wanted to hate mac... but after my ASUS laptop died 2 months after its 2 year warranty went out... and i decided i wanted to try my hand at making an App... i got a macbook pro. and its awesome. 2.5 years latter this thing still acts like a new computer even compared to my brand spanking new lenovo x201 with extended life battery my much older macbook is faster, thinner, lighter has a larger screen with the same profile and even the 2 year old battery lasts longer.

I can understand not wanting an iphone now but, not wanting an iphone when the 3g came out is like hating on HD or technological improvement in general. I mean the first iphone (2g) what a HUGE leap forward in phone tech however the slow internet made it otherwise annoying. Then the 3g came out and NOTHING WAS CLOSE! so i feel into apple there.

Ipods etc i don't really care, i've never been a big fan of itunes either and buy most of my music from amazon as to not have DRM crap on it.

5/6/2011 9:10:50 AM

when my verizon contract runs out later this year, i'll move up to a smartphone (i currently use whatever the motorola flip that was free at the time of renewal)...i'm leaning toward something running android, but at that point i will give the iphone a serious look...it may become my first apple product

The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to jailbreak if you want full control over what you put on your phone.

Allow me to start by saying that my iPhone developed the lovely "feature" that any time I was near 70% battery life remaining it would just power off. Sometimes it would turn back on, sometimes it wouldn't. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Took it back to Apple, got it replaced, sold it.

Most of my gripes came from the fact that iTunes and the iPhone never actually worked the way I wanted to. I can't really explain how happy I was to get a new computer and a) not have to find some random iTunes database so that it didn't have to reformat my phone and b) not have to worry about getting iTunes back on the computer.

5/6/2011 9:17:29 AM

^^ Isn't that the same as Droid phones?

5/6/2011 9:20:37 AM

I owned the first 3 generations of iphone, but once everyone else caught up, I jumped back to the sensible side. And that is all I ever owned!

Nope. You have full access to the file system.

I bought an Ipod in 2004, and the thing literally crapped out on me right after the warranty expired. Needless to say, I haven't bought any Apple product since.
