Apple sucks, don't succumb to iRape

Pretty sure it's an unspoken rule that anything in the lounge should never stay ontopic. Some inspiring, creative trolls here on FST.

One thing we can't argue is the aesthetics of Apple products. Nice and clean, nothing like what hardcore PC users seem to pride themselves on.

I made the mistake of purchasing a Thermeltake V9. The case only has one red led at the front and that's enough to distract me all night. I ended up creating a little blind for the front of it, I can't imagine any serious air flow blockages.

I don't know about that case, how well do Legos transfer heat? I'm currently using THIS. Don't get me started on Apple aesthetics though, it's not the best looking, but completely lacks variety in the product line.

I own only one apple product: an ipod.

It's really difficult to justify the ownership of an ipod nowadays, financially. Your phone will do most of the things it wants to do, and even if you want a small device to listen to music while you exercise or whatever, how about a Walkman. You have to realize how much it hurts me to have just recommended a Sony product, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than an iPod and allows you to use it as USB mass storage, just simply drag and drop your music in with no special software necessary. Lesser of two evils in this case. Actually there others, but I can't vouch for them like COBY, Sandisk, and Archos (which is apparently taking a beating over terrible hardware). I would probably try out the COBY, gets good reviews, nice design.

Why on earth wouldn't you use a phone? SD cards are cheap as chips these days and they're small enough to fit in your pocket (shock horror).

Off topic is one thing, but this is just J-Dye irrelevance. Just want to let you know you're not welcome in my threads. You've never contributed anything but drivel that I've seen.

I think I understand a little more about why I despise Apple fanboism. They blindly follow the Apple brand like a religion, which now is supported by a study:

Apple triggers 'religious' reaction in fans' brains, report says

You mentioned an In-Win case a couple posts ago, macky. I've never gotten into any kind of modding, but I have purchased a few In-Win cases from Newegg, and have been pleased with them- especially for the price. My friends have all enjoyed the PCs I have built for them, and have never had any complaints about the cases, either.

As for the phone vs a dedicated music player, I am actually drawn towards purchase of a smartphone so that it will take place of devices like the iPud.

I fucking love my In Win Maelstrom. The design is absolutely everything I wanted from in a case. The only drawbacks I experienced are that I can no longer fit my computer under my desk (though moving it outside seems to be a better setup) and the things that look like handles cannot be used to lift the case (the front panel could detach and probably lead to you dropping the case, but it can be used to move it around on the ground).

I'm admittedly a huge Android supporter. Because of I have easy root, and get to fix and tweak shit using a SQL editor directly on the phone if it doesn't work exactly the way I want it to. After messing around on an Apple phone, I found most of it doesn't work at all in the way I would want it to, and there's very little recourse. That could be said about all Apple products (MacNoRighClickNoHDMIbook, iTouchKids, ApplePretendToBeTV, iDropPhoneCalls, etc.).

Also, MBM, your iStalker comment reminded me to update this thread with that story, which is why I bumped it.
