Mac Rumors for Apple related info and hookups :D

I noticed Halo 4 in the background before the iPad. /shrug.

Not when I walked past this morning. Store was empty.

When I walked by our local store today and looked in, it was empty as well.

Wait, oh yeay - that was the University Village Microsoft store...

So much for the fools who claim that the price is too high.

Apple is sold out with huge lines forming in every part of the world. If all that Apple cared about was profits, they could have priced it at $429 and made a killing. but the low price proves that Apple cares mostly about the User Experience and that profits just magically happen to appear due to their customer-first attitude.

People wake up and go to work at Apple every day because they want to make others happy. They do not do it to make a paycheck. The do it to Change The World into a better place for other people.

But the Googley Fandroids will deny it because they hate Apple, and because they hate every single person who owns even one Apple product. They all just live in their parent's basement and spend all of their time changing screen savers on their Android devices. So sad.

People who own Apple products buy them to actually do real work, and NOT to just play with them or to fight the OS to try to get rid of all the malware.

I often wonder if companies such as BMW, Mercedes or Porsche have the same types of haters who are always yelling that their prices are too high. I never really questioned those cars pricing structure. If I could afford them, I would buy them. I don't have any malice toward those who own those vehicles. I certainly wouldn't stand outside of their showrooms griping and screaming that they should lower their prices. It would sort of defeat the purpose of becoming an owner of one. I always figured if you wanted something that's more expensive, just work for it and earn what was necessary to buy it. What's the point of sulking and crying that it's priced too high.

Why Apple seems to be a target of jealousy in the industry really seems rather strange to me. Their products seem to be priced reasonably enough for the average consumer to afford and should easily hold up for a few years to amortize the initial cost. I honestly don't understand Wall Street's partiality for cheaper products if it tends to lower the quality of the device. What's so great about selling or owning quickly disposable goods? Is it because rapid product turnover earns a company more money they should purposely build products that have a shorter lifespan?

Android fans just can't compute that someone could possibly buy something without the best possible spec sheets at the lowest price. They don't care about the box, it could be made of cardboard or led.

They don't care either if the specs actually fits together or if there is a bottleneck on the specs. Cant you see, that PC has an nvidia 690 GTX, a 1000 watts power supply, 16 gigs on memory. Its used with a VGA screen to fill prescriptions at the drugstore and as a bonus it heats up the place in the winter but hey, its the best possible specs you can throw in the box.

The Nexus 7 certainly has good build quality. That's all that matters.

Not as good as the Mini, this isn't subjective. The materials used in the mini are more expensive and of a higher quality.
