Recently, Bill Gates
made it a rule in his household to not have any iPods or iPhones.
I respect Bill Gates for that, he cares about his business, and if the media catches wind of Bill Gates's family using Apple products, it will obviously have a detrimental effect on his reputation.
The article's not the reason I put this in the rant box. Check the comments section of that article, or any article related to technology over at

Littered with Apple enthusiasts. It pisses me off that they claim things like "half of everything Microsoft makes doesn't work" and insist that "Apple works and looks better," even when comparing the iPod to a Zune.
I've been using Windows for all my computer life. At work, I use Windows. I spent a shitton of money recently on my computer, which runs Windows XP. Not once has my Windows broken down, and when it has errors on startup, it's easily correctable.
Honestly, I don't know where or how the Apple followers got the image that everything Microsoft makes sucks, how, when people say "Windows", they think up an image of a Windows Vista taskbar malfunctioning every three seconds, running on "just an ugly box with a lot of wires" instead of the elegant iMac shape.
That's fine, honestly, if they're trendy and are obsessed with fashion, they can pay $2,000 for an iMac, but don't come up to me saying "yeah, i have an iMac, its better than ur computer lawl."
I also don't understand the iPhone. It's a simple touch screen phone with a lot of downloadable applications. Yet, when I see Apple vs. Microsoft arguments, they say they can't live without their iPhone and Windows Mobile or HTC has nothing on it. Can't live without your iPhone and iPod and iMac and iDishwasher and iRefrigerator and iPenis? Christ. Don't know about you guys, but I can manage fine without any sort of cellular phone or mp3 player, I have been "managing" for about 5 years.
