[Read the full post here, otherwise this is the main argument]
I’ve been called a fanboy too many times…an Apple fanboy. Let me get things straight for all of you anti-apple cool kids, “I’m
not an Apple Fanboy!”.
Possibly the best definition of fanboy is from wikionary:
Someone (normally male) who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby, often to the point where it is considered an obsession
By that definition I could call anti-apple trolls “anti-apple fanboys” since it’s their obsession to point out their distrust no matter what the original subject was about.
Anyways…
I do tend to show appreciation for my Apple products, only because they have a positive impact more than any other. And since I’m a “techie”/gadget hobbyist and I make a living from the technology and the internet I’ve spent a lot of time preferring one product over another.
- No-one knows what the real motivation or calculated business decisions was/were/are made behind rejecting apps or removing applications.
One would take the opportunity to theorize a master planned conspiracy for world domination with that last point; instead I’ll refrain from concluding anything ( except [1] ); but if those unlikely theories do come to pass my continues review of alternatives will lead me to the best user experience and productivity in my digital life/work–regardless of the company.
[1] …except to point out that all media rights owners ( music and video ) and iphone application vendors have a choice to deal with Apple distribution channel and their restrictions.
