Fuck Apple and their overpriced products
Overpriced? Yeah, right. HTC One (M8) 32GB: $829 Samsung Galaxy S5: $649 - $749 Apple iPhone: $649 - $849 (32GB is $749 which is actually CHEAPER then HTC One M8) Nexus 5: $450 total for a 32GB ($50 shipping. Meanwhile, Apple charges $0 for orders over $50) Computers: Windows PC: $799 + Blacktop Protection (consumers) + Anti-Virus (5 yrs, $200+ total) + Microsoft Office / 365 Subscription (5 yrs, $99/year $500 total) = $799 + $100 + $200 + $500 = $1599. You need to factor in Windows 9, which will undoubtedly cost $119, and then future part upgrades, which would cost at least $300. So, in total, $1599 + 119 + 200 =2018. Even if you take out the 365 subscription, the total cost over five years is $1518, give or take part upgrades, OS upgrades, and even monitor upgrades. iMac: $1299 + AppleCare + iWork/iLife (Free) + Free OS Upgrades = $1299 + 99 = $1398. Mac Mini: $799 + Monitor = $999, $1099 with AppleCare. So, in reality, you actually pay more when buying a PC, albeit over five years.

Yep, and your beloved Google / MS / Other doesn't, right? LMAO LMAO. You are fucking pathetic and so stupidly naive to think that Google / MS / Other don't sell your info and have backdoors. Hell, didn't Relient OS developers find a "backdoor" in the Galaxy line of phone and the Nexus One? Yep! They did. Wow, I wonder who uses it. Let me guess; some three letter ass hat office call the NSA.

Age has nothing to do with this. By the way I first developed my loathing for DRM in the 1980's when it consisted of deliberatively creating bad sectors on 5.25in floppy diskettes. Ever heard of the term "Defective by Design".

What the heck is this? how do you compare price without mentioning any hardware specs? Windows has built in AV, plus many freely available AV product. What the heck is blacktop protection? MS Office is not a requirement for using windows. You could use LibreOffice. Both are better than the shitty "iWork", even most Mac users prefer LibreOffice over iWork. Remove these bullshit $800 from the PC equation, now the Mac suddenly seem expensive, huh?

Also office 365 $99/years is 5 PCS/Macs + 1 iPad which all gets newest upgrade when Office 2016 is released (and android tablet in the future) and 1 hour international call to non-internet phone + 20 GB cloud storage + is totally optional because not everyone needs the full feature hence they can use free alternatives like Office Web Apps/Google Docs And free antivirus smokes paid anti virus big time And Mac OS upgrade is not free, the 10.5.x upgrades are equivalent to service pack in windows which costs the same, $0 And I want to laugh at the 'future part upgrades' that you don't account for Apple Computers, oh wait! Apple computers lock the hardware up so you can't upgrade!

Oh, the latest Mac Pro is also "upgradable". It's just the " consumer-aimed" machines that aren't upgradable.

how anyone can talk about freedom and use apple is beyond me.
Many people who care about freedom and civil liberties are not knowledgeable about technology, software and computers at all. So they end up using Apple or Microsoft products because they are not even aware of the issues and alternatives. They may be experts in other areas such as organic farming and the evils of GMOs. In some cases it can be as simple as "Free Software" is to "Organic Seeds" as "Apple" is to "Monsanto".

True enough an unawareness of these sort of privacy issues is a problem in my opinion towards a truly open society, then again what you don't know can hurt you ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But I like to put it in rap form so people can understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o66FUc61MvUSIRI sure is a nice software cough or should I say IRIS ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Had a MacBook once. Hated it. On the other hand, I do like my iPad. But I don't like that I can't buy a New battery for it and install it myself, that is bs. And I definitely don't like the fact that Apple is Blocking bitcoin apps, so next time I want to buy A tablet, I will try to avoid apple.

I agree that apple is trying to avoid any unnecessary fines/concerns but this too caused them to lose any popularity among most BTC users. Though they might have their products I think they are more possible to change now than before.

Should we organize an Apple boycott? How many people will join?
Personally, I have never used any of the Apple products. But I know plenty of people who are addicted to them. So will any of the "addicts" will be ready to switch to another brand?
