Must resist... Urge... To... Engage...

Feel free to engage. I mean as long as you aren't hurtful I'm ok with being wrong.

I wouldn't ever get personal or hurtful over something this trivial. I just know these conversations tend to get out of control sometimes.

And I'm not here to prove anyone wrong.

    I can't believe people consider Apple innovators

Today certainly didn't display innovation. But to say that Apple isn't or hasn't been an innovative company isn't accurate.

    They are so immeasurably behind, yet no matter how much i say this they still make hundreds of millions of dollars...

Immeasurably? I feel like that's a stretch. Even if you strip out the user experience(which is clearly not for you), hardware specs are measurable. And I don't think the numbers would be THAT far apart.

Look. I'm a Mac user. I've probably been considered a fanboy in the past. And like Kleinbl00 above, I've got my share of gripes about the company.

I'm not sure your assessment is objective.

I'm not here to prove anyone wrong. It comes down to what makes you happy. It's a Ford/Chevy thing.

Oh I don't doubt that at one point Apple was a leader in innovation. I just think that people like to throw that word around when it comes to apple products, and they aren't. Apple does a hell of a job improving on technology that already exists, but they aren't changing the game as many people like to say. This isn't to say that other companies in the same industry are innovating either.

    Immeasurably? I feel like that's a stretch. Even if you strip out the user experience(which is clearly not for you), hardware specs are measurable. And I don't think the numbers would be THAT far apart.

This was definitely too much on my part, and was definitely more my gripes with apple. What I really meant to say on this matter is that in the most recent years I've found that a lot of Apple's technology has just been improvements on what already exists. I never go into a Apple Keynote expecting them to change the game in anyway. Like I mentioned before though this a pretty general statement that could made about large portions of the industry as it is right now.
