Slide 10: "Google's Nexus 7 comes with the customer's choice of 8GB or 16GB of storage. Apple's new iPad, however, starts at 16GB and goes all the way up to 64GB. Having more storage is extremely important. More content is being transitioned to digital, including movies, television shows and more. It's much better to have that stored locally. But if there isn't enough space, users are out of luck."

Did he really say that it's much better to have digital content stored locally? Sure, let me store my 4.7GB movies locally on my iPad instead of streaming them. THIS IS A BUDGET TABLET YOU MACFUCKINGFAGGOT PIECE OF SHIT. The 64GB model also costs 800 bucks. If I'm going to spend 800 bucks on something just so I can watch movies, I'll spend it on a laptop with a 500GB hard drive. What a fucking toolbag joke.

I always said that iPhone's and anything Apple just makes people stupid. It requires no thought power. People like to be spoonfed and Apple is genius for catering to this welfare country.

Let's consider the differences between the 16GB and 64GB iPad that causes a variation in price of $300:
1. The size of the hard drive
2. .... and that's it

So some simple math: 64 - 16 = 48
=> 300 / 48 = 6.25
This means that Apple charges $6.25 per 1GB of Flash memory
Comparatively an 256GB OCZ vertex 4 that has a read speed of 560MB/s (that's a big B for those who know the difference) retails for $210. That means the cost per 1GB is $0.82.

So to put this in perspective, Apple charges a 762% markup for inferior memory... Ok, maybe that's just for the iPad, a device with proprietary hardware you say? WRONG!

Let's look at RAM for the iMac. Standard DDR3. Nothing special. You want to buy it from Apple? OK, $200 for 8GB
A quick search on Newegg lists THE EXACT SAME RAM YOU GET THROUGH APPLE at $40.

This time it's only a 500% markup to buy an "Apple" product. not bad.

I like to imagine that once a year, Apple allows 5 lucky hipsters onto their campus, blindfolds them, and tells them they are going to their research and development labs to test a new product. They take the hipsters into a meeting room (still blindfolded) and 20 employees walk in. The employees, in a very professional manner, unzip their pants, then proceed to piss all over the hipsters. They don't say anything, they just urinate all over their handlebar mustaches, on their ironic T-shirts, even on their fair-trade skinny jeans. The employees then file out of the room, still not uttering one word, and the hipsters are sent home. they then tweet all of their friends, and describe the single greatest moment in all of their lives.


And spoonfeeding those people keeps me employed. As long as they shy away from learning new things, my skills become more valuable. Thanks Apple, for creating an entire generation of morons!

One of the IT guys I work with is kind of the Mac pro type but surprisingly unbiased. Intel specially designs hardware just for Apple and then releases it at a much later date after Apple rapes people. Hilarity.
