Headline: Apple is infuriated that the british crown blah blah blah

Article: Obscure apple fanboy blog infuriated

Eh, wait, what?

I love the Apple products, but this Jobs hagiography has gone far enough.

/Fuque Jobs. Really.

Can the Queen just please knight Benedict Cumberbatch and declare him the most British man in the Empire already? I mean, seriously, with a name like that?

And he's Sherlock!

Seriously, can we stop greenlighting every piece of pro or anti-Apple trolling?

THIS.

Saborlas: Oh, wait. It's England. Therefore it's spelled "hounouru." Weird culture of superfluous "u"s over there.

Nah, that's Japan

The queen is just being a total drama queen.

Babwa Wawa: Do they speak English in Great Britain? That article was using English words, but couldn't have been the same language I speak.

Cabbage crates over the briney?

Dalek Caan's doomed mistress: Can the Queen just please knight Benedict Cumberbatch and declare him the most British man in the Empire already? I mean, seriously, with a name like that?

Every single time I see his name, my brain reads it as "Cumberland Bandersnatch" for some reason.

Sir Loin of Beef?
Sir Tain of Failure?
Sir Tified of Check?
Sir Ive of Jive?

/got nuthin'

Steve deserves to be recognized but not knighted. I personally believe citizens of the monarchy should be knighted. Not non-citizens.

Tu dou: Steve deserves to be recognized but not knighted. I personally believe citizens of the monarchy should be knighted. Not non-citizens.

The various orders have their own admission criteria. The one that goes to anyone that can rhyme a couple words or once said something nice to someone the queen knows is, obviously, one of the loosest orders as far as admission in general goes.

Knighthood isn't all one thing, it's basically freemasonry except the head of almost all the lodges is the crown, since there's no longer feifdoms or military service associated with most of the orders. Anyhow, they all have their own shiat.

coco ebert: Most Apple-related articles are so pro it's ridiculous. We could do with a bit of pushback.

ROFLMAO!!

Good luck with that. All the anti-Apple people, like you, have to push back with is whargarble!!!! It's pathetic. So lame are the pushees they drag up myths that weren't even true in 1997 and present them as fact now. I especially love the people who cling to the "Apple is more expensive" myth, especially when I send them out to buy a MacBook Air-type PC for less money. Each and every time they do manage to find something cheaper, it's because the spec's are less than the Air.

Here's the reality : Apple beat the holy living hell of its competitors with logistics. They built a great product that people found easier to use and then set the price that froze everyone else out of serious competition. One has to only look at the 10-Qs of every company touching Android to see how deep and vast the red ink is on the Android side of the fence.

So push back all you want. It's not going to change the reality that Apple is a profit-making machine that will - even at zero point zero growth - accumulate $300 billion in the bank at the end of Q4 2015. If it can truly be said that living well is the best revenge, well... snap! You've been told by Apple, and then some.

What, did apples check not clear?

The Apple hate is annoying, but at least I rode it to the bank. I'll be lucky if I ever find another sure thing like pre-iPhone APPL.

look, you're either here to make fun of the incomprehensibility of this article and "Brits are like this/Yanks are like this!" or you're wasting time in ye olde threade.

And apple computers are so great that they own the US market with 15% of the market share over the 83% PC market share.

Apple is GREAT at mobile devices and marketing. Their consumer personal portable "i" products (iPad, iPod, iPhone) really have given Apple new life. Their general computer line up, however has failed to make headway in the US or the world over for that matter.

I believe 10-15 years in the future that Apple may back out of the general computing market all together and focus on their consumer "i" products. It is more profitable and they have large market shares in those lines.

I just call him Snackbottom. I don't actually have a good explanation for this either. Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch is the most British person alive.

Ian McKellan deserved it, thank you very much.

Huh?

After reading about some of the dick moves that he pulled during his rise to "power", I'm okay with this. Business: I can get it, part of the whole capitalism thing. But what he did to his daughter? Yea, he's a dick.

Otter: [to Boon] Germans?

I farking hate users who demand getting Apple computers and have no idea how to use it, or need to have a Windows emulator so they can function. fark YOU. fark YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON

Maybe for mp3 players. They're still a small minority in every other market.

Tourney3p0

every other market? like what, tablets, phones or laptops? oh wait, they killed it in each one of those markets as well, to say nothing of digital media sold through itunes. it's only desktops that lag sales-wise, and that's an industry-wide trend, not just for apple.

apple is the most successful, most profitable tech company in the world, even with a small (but growing) market share of osx users. deal with it and inform yourself.

Apple does not have the biggest market share in mobile phones. Android does at 46%.
