Apple products are good, because they are Apple products.

Why do people like Apple products? Well, the answer is in the question. People like them so much because they are Apple products. Somewhere, at some point, someone decided that the definition of "good" was "Apple product." It seems to have stuck. What's the result?

A bunch of no-brainer numb-nutted prats piling into their local Apple shops demanding iPhones. - - - Why?

- Because they are iPhones!

- What makes them so special?

- ..... ...... Them being iPhones!

It seems like people are completely oblivious to the fact that there are thousands of other phones which do exactly the same - if not a better - job than the iPhone, but don't get any of the credit because they haven't got the "must have" frame of mind hindrance hanging onto them like a turd refusing to drop into the toilet bowl.

Then, the iPad makes it's grand entrance in the world of must-have. For the 2 people who don't know what the iPad is, it's literally an over-sized iPod Touch costing 800 EUR. Now everyone must have one of them!

- Result: Millions of people buying pointless over-sized iPod Touches, with a laughable battery life and limitations you wouldn't have on a laptop costing the same amount.

And the i* reign continues.
