Apple PR – A Review (9to5Mac)

Hahaha.
Well whatever you want to call it there is this culture surrounding Apple that drives me crazy, and it seems to me that it is exactly the culture they want to generate. However, it is encouraging to read that the new CEO is planning on taking things in a more transparent direction. I was unaware of that until today, as I don’t exactly spend a lot of my free time reading details about the company

You’ll note that I didn’t disagree with you on that 🙂 ….
…and which we have also created a forum for people to explore every possible angle on the matter. LOL

People like to like things, there’s a culture around sports teams that drives plenty of people crazy too.

People like to dislike things, too. Again, see this forum and culture around sports teams.

I actually think it’s weirder than that.
We watch as people crowed about how GREAT their personal discovery is when they feel they are “special” knowing about it when other don’t. Then, when appreciation becomes widespread, they turn on a dime and again have to again prove the superiority of their opinion and judgement all over again by hating on the very thing they loved when loving it separated them from the masses.
Jim Morrison was right. People ARE strange.

And people like to dislike people who do the exact same things THEY do, except they do it for the other team. Nobody thinks a New York Yankee fan is more obnoxious than a Red Sox fan, and vice versa. It’s the nature of great rivalries.
That said, there are definitely some fans who are obnoxious by nature, and often revel in it. Pick any (or all) of a dozen different Philadelphia stories, starting with booing Santa Claus.
I think we can also all think of somebody outside the world of sports whose vociferous fandom feels like it’s that intense for the sole purpose of causing disquiet in non-fans. Or likewise, people overstating their non- or anti-fandom for the same reason.
I’m most certainly not thinking of anyone here when I say that.
Or am I?
My point was that I don’t have any issues with someone finding either fandom or non-fandom obnoxious. Both definitely can be, and, kidding aside, I think it really is more common around phones than computing platforms or even FCPX.
