The worse thing about Macs is Mac fanatics συνοψίζει στο εξαιρετικό του άρθρο ο κύριος Jason Cross του ExtremeTech  και η περίληψή του είναι εξαιρετική.  Ολόκληρο απόσπασμα πιο κάτω, εν συντομία η μετάφραση

1. Είναι μύθος ότι η Microsoft αντιγράφει τους πάντες ενώ η Apple τα δημιουργεί.  Ίσα ίσα που η Apple αγοράζει τις περισσότερες τεχνολογίες που πουλάει.

2. Κάνουν οι φανατικοί της εταιρείας χειρότερα από ότι κατηγορούν όταν προσπαθεί κάποιος να βγάλει κάτι καινούργιο.  (πχ Zune) 

3. Αν κάνει κάτι λάθος η Apple είναι εντάξει, οι άλλοι όμως όχι.

Εν ολίγοις έχουν δυο μέτρα και δύο σταθμά αλλά σε ακραίο βαθμό!  Και επειδή είναι λίγοι αυτοί οι φανατικοί που πλημμυρίζουν το inbox του καθένα που γράφει αντίλογο, ίσως οι υπόλοιποι, οι μετριοπαθείς και σωστοί χρήστες Apple πρέπει να τους βάλετε χέρι επιτέλους;

1. "Microsoft Just Copies Everyone and Buys Everything." This common belief held by Mac users is not only factually incorrect, it turns a blind eye to the many ways in which Apple fails to, ahem, "Think Different." The way Dashboard in OS X rips off Konfabulator and other widget engines predating it, Spaces knocks off many prior Virtual Desktop features, or how that fancy CoverFlow stuff was purchased from third-party developer Steel Skies. Many popular Apple ads are knock-offs. The "Hello" iPhone ad blatantly rips off Christian Marclay's film short "Telephones." Lugs actually issued a cease and desist order to get Apple to stop the iPod ad that was nearly identical to their Eminem ad. Their ad boasting the new Intel chips clones the music video for "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service.

2. Every time someone mentions a competitor to something Apple does well, the Mac cultists flood message boards and inboxes with snickering messages to the effect of "why do they even try?" Take, for example, Zune. Microsoft announces the new Zunes, which on an objective level offer a very competitive feature set to comparably-priced iPods, and which haven't been judged on a subjective level yet because they aren't released until mid-November and no independent reviewer has actually used them for any length of time. I got plenty of mail from the Mac faithful claiming that iPod reigns supreme, is obviously superior (none of them have used Zunes, old or new), and that Microsoft shouldn't even try to compete. Excuse me? Shouldn't even try to compete? Are we actually arguing against healthy market competition here? The healthy response should be, "well maybe this will give Apple some competition to push them toward offering a subscription store, WiFi on all models, and WiFi syncing." Instead, the competition that can end in nothing but better products for consumers of either product is met with childish derision.

3. Apple fans have an attitude where, when Apple does something bad, it's okay, or at least understandable. When other companies, especially arch-rival Microsoft, does the same exact thing, it's a travesty and obviously clear evidence of why the courts should take them down. When Microsoft bundles its own software with Windows, it's time for antitrust litigation. When Apple does the same with Mac computer or OS X, they're not shutting out competitors—they're adding value. Open source rules, and Windows is bad for being closed, except of course for how OS X is closed, because that's okay. And nobody gives credit to Microsoft for having a smartphone platform that allows for real 3rd party applications, instead celebrating the clever ways in which hackers have managed to get around Apple's "not on my phone" policy to do the same. Until they update the phone and brick it, of course. You know, AT&T refusing to provide unlock codes for iPhones is against federal regulations, right? Where's the outrage?
