Let the Ritual Suicides Commence!

Apple admits its operating system has security flaws; 1% of Americans die as result of having heads shoved too far up own asses.

I'm all for the "little guy," except that Apple isn't. Isn't a "little guy," except in comparison to the world's largest computer company, and isn't "all for the little guy," either. Apple is for the arrogant prick who needs to spend twice as much for the same level of service just so he can tell everybody how "intuitve" it all is. You try finding any system utilities on OS X if you're used to Windows! The Mac way makes no sense! Furthermore, because Apple markets itself on the lie that it's invulnerable to viruses, etc., it doesn't point the user to any kind of protective software, maintenance software, or the like.

This is the age of the disposable computer. You pay $600, you get a laptop, you use it, when it no longer works, you get another one.

Or, you drop $1200 for a basic Mac, you use it, it breaks, you fix it, it runs slow, then slower, then slower, then it's incompatible (still! In 2000-fucking-7!!) with PC video games, then it breaks again, then you have to fix it because you don't have $1200 to start over.
