I hate Apple.
Since I’ve put quotations from Steve Jobs on my previous post, some of the people got a
misconception of that I am a fan of Apple products. Far from it, I am a proud Apple hater.
Never attracted to buy any of their product, therefore I don’t have any, except some discarded junk for spare-
parts. ( A power adapter with broken connector for Mac’ laptop, I bought for £1 from an Odds and Ends box
of a shop, wasn’t too bad for a 24 V power supply to use with stepping motor, as it is smaller
and having a built-in fold-away main plug )
The reason why I hated them since very beginning was, I hate their sales tactics.
Only designed and schemed for the way of money sucking system, was utterly repulsive to me.

Storing digitized music signal in a solid-state memory was a natural evolution, as I was seeing the last moment
struggle of Sony trying to cling the market by their Mini-disc, I really pitied them with a question Why ?
Though, I didn’t buy Apple’s iPod, as I saw their greed to monopolize the Music distribution system by their
monopolized iTunes. ( Before, I’ve been annoyed by their Mac’ design. Everything is incompatible with PC.
All the connectors are exclusive, not only the style of it, but the signal protocol, format etc, hence it needs to
have all sorts of converter. — On top of this, they are much more expensive, selling to the snobs who want to
show off. —– I despise those kind of snob most. ( Just watching heavily compressed signal of downloaded
porno, what is the point to have so-called “ good in graphics Apple Mac “ —– don’t make me laugh.)
( Me to use bloody expensive full-frame Canon was not for fancy pretence, simply because no other camera
allow me free to use another manufacturer’s lens, even hand-made lens, while keeping auto-exposure function.
You can’t do this with any another camera —– I had no choice. )

The reason why I did put a post quoting Steve Jobs’ word ;
>>> you are not going to usea piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and
nobody will ever see it. You will know it’s there, so you are going to
use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.
—– is to say, in real life, he didn’t cut even a single piece of wood to make his product. He was
not a programmer nor electronic engineer. — He only know the design spec’ which can sell.
He just pressurized others to make it —– in notorious draconian way.
Apple didn’t make any of their products, from single component (nearly 80% came from Japan )
to final assembly (in China).
But got most of the profit for themselves thanks to their inflated price.
non
I can imagine the pressure who supplied the component, had to face —– such as to make it 1mm even thinner
out of already minuscule 3mm high, and even with reduced price.
Everybody had to work for Apple while dripping their blood and under a fear of instant dismissal.
He was a man lived in grudge and the revenge against the people who has kicked him out of Apple before.
No wonder such obsessed hi-tensioned psyche shortened his life. I don’t think he had a happy life, neither he
gave any happiness to other people —– he only sold an empty vanity, a Myth to the mass.
When Steve Jobs realized, that their brain couldn’t keep hold the Myth for ever, they opened the design of
APP to the outside designer ( in fact it was an ingenious solution ! ) and started to sell the APPs designed by
somebody else. Yet another exploitation of others while running their money-making machine for them.
And this must be the reason, why his Hero was real Ninja —– who got a deadly efficiency, able to carry out
a duty [to kill] in a most ruthless dirty manner —– contrast to useless fantasy in Superman or Spider-man.
non
Seeing his death, and seeing the wane of Apple, flood-gate was opened for the people to speak out.
So, I’m very curious to hear, how Steve Jobs could able to force his concept in their product design system.
( Steve Jobs invented nothing. He just used the existing technology and the components only in smaller, pretty
package = putting a lot more together, in order to give an illusion to the users that they can do a lot more.
—– To do this, the supplier of the component, such as camera, touch-pad etc had to work bloody hard to
make it even smaller with higher spec’ to fill the requirement of the Apple)
non
And interesting to see, how such as the Korean industry who got used to just copy, is going to do their future
business without having a sample to copy 😀
(—– It’s mean, the inspiration of Steve Jobs was at least unique to him and impossible to copy.
—– in this aspect, he WAS a unique man —– all the technology in the iPhone has been known
to the electronic industry though, nobody else, other than Steve Jobs
actually made it to iPhone )
It’s a funny paradox here. — (It’s easy to do, still nobody else but him did do. He Just Did It.
It was a good sample, how to keep an Open-Mind. And if it needs to be done, Do it. 😀 )
