			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>I don&#8217;t like Apple products. And the better-designed and more ubiquitous they become, the more I dislike them. I blame the customers. Awful people. Awful. Stop showing me your iPhone. Stop stroking your Macbook. Stop telling me to get one.</p>
<p>Seriously, stop it. I don&#8217;t care if Mac stuff is better. I don&#8217;t care if Mac stuff is cool.<br />
&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s safe to assume Mac products are indeed as brilliant as their owners make out. Why else would they spend so much time trying to convert non-believers? They&#8217;re not getting paid. They simply want to spread their happiness, like religious crusaders.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I agree with Charlie Brooker his view on Apple fanbois and their need to show the world they own an Apple-product. Their stubbornness and belief it&#8217;s their faith to convince everybody to live the Apple-life is something that bothers me much. On every article written or video posted about Windows or Zune you&#8217;ll find a Mac evangelist &#8211; <em>to use Brooker&#8217;s words</em> &#8211; saying Apple products are superior and &#8220;<em>Windows stinks</em>&#8221; or something like that.<br />
It their Apple products are so superior as they are trying to convince us about, why don&#8217;t they just spend some more time with their iGadgets and leave their irrelevant comments for themselves?</p>
