Yeah, but what really gets under my skin is that every other company out there is okay with producing garbage.

Meanwhile, Apple produces things that work comparatively well, doing what you expect and then, claims that reasonable functionality is premium. And then catches shit for being pretentious.

So, let's step through that once more:

  - garbage is normal
  - functional and interoperable is premium
  - premium is pretentious
  - also, add $1,000 for the name brand

The author simultaneously complains that nothing works, but refutes using the only thing that works because it represents training wheels that are too fashionable and ostentatious.

We can have nice things because that's for babies, and also too overtly glamorous and bougie.

I just want shit that works out of the box sometimes. I also don't need X-Files alien logos and red backlit Hunt For Red October themes everywhere. And oh yeah, let's not get started on OEM spyware masquerading as harmless adware. (Cough! Lenovo! [0] Cough! Intel Management Engine! [1] Cough!)

Will someone other than Apple please step up to the fucking plate and not just dump trash onto the shelves at Best Buy?

  Camgirls tend to drink a lot. Drinking 
  is another common thing to tip for, 
  and it makes camming easier. My friend 
  once told me that she used to get on 
  cam, black out, and wake up every 
  morning with a thousand dollars.

Gee. Let's all stop and think about that one for a moment.

I mean really. Just pause for a second.
