My point was, if you were already invested in the apple app store, you have some motivation to keep that investment as opposed to throwing it away (in a sense) by getting another device that's incompatible with that app store.

The same applies to the Android or any app store that only works on *that* platform. Your investment in that platform becomes a

and discourages you from changing platforms.

Vendors love these techniques because they build unintentional product loyalty. I bought hundreds of songs on itunes for my ipod. I had to throw it all out when I got rid of my ipod. For some, this may be very easy.

The difference is, Apple may make products that a lot of people won't find useful or appealing, but that doesn't make them crappy or of low-quality. While my hatred for Apple grows strong, I have to admit that the user experience (which is really what Apple is selling), it very nice. Other companies do often make very useful but low-quality (aka crappy) products that people want, but can't use without pulling their hair out in frustration (ie, the last time I used win7 and ie8 and was bombarded relentlessly by popup dialogs asking me if I really wanted to do this or that.... kill me now please).

. Just like nGhost, it does zomg everything including curing world hunger but getting it to do all that can be rather frustrating. See I'm not biased, I just dogged on my own product

.

*does the look to TripZero* You can turn off all those prompts from Win7. i just think that if Apple is going to sell a product for the amount that they do, they can give better! Not something that is easily beatable at a lower cost.

You mean like "Bush = Hitler", or that Bush "lied" to get us into war? Yeah, right. To me it sounds like you, like Obama, are too thin-skinned. But payback is coming this November, and it's going to be a b*ch.

US politics has nothing (or very little) to do with the ipad. Take it to the offtopic section. This thread is for ranting about Apple not politics.

Sorry 2k1Toaster, you're right.

Forget about that, newbie.

You are being moderated as all newbies are. Once a moderator approves your post it will show up in the correct location. I am not a mod in this section, you have to wait for someone else.

As to the rest, I too have idea but watch for a thread in OT perhaps...
