I just wanted to confess that I never really liked Apple but lately I really started disliking the company. Nevertheless, I'm tired of my Druid and thinking about getting an Iphone. Do you think I'm shallow?
I just think they are taking advantage of people. The fact that you have a great product and great design does not mean you have to ridiculous prices, be giddy, treat some of your employees really badly.
I know a few people who work at Apple, and they treat them really well (although I don't know anyone that works in their retail stores... so maybe just there?) As far as their product being overpriced, the only thing I can really think of that I think is overpriced is their MacPro towers. Everything else seems reasonable for what you get. {shrug}
