“Inspired” by Apple

Dan Lyons pretends to be a journalist

Dan Lyons (“Creator of the ‘Fake Steve’ blog”):

Apple seems less interested in blowing people away than it is in milking profit out of the existing lineup. At this Cook is doing marvellously well.

Apple has more than $100bn in cash. Its market value of $632bn makes it the biggest company in the world, bigger than any company in US history.

That’s great for Apple’s shareholders. But for customers, who cares? In terms of products, Apple has become the one thing it should never be. Apple has become boring.

To break the “fourth wall” for a minute, on this site, I make out like I actually care about whether Apple or Samsung copied from Braun or themselves or whatever. Let me make this quite clear - if you spend your life as a barely functioning ball of rage due the injustice of Apple ripping off consumers, or because Samsung is stealing designs from Apple, then you need to get a fucking life.

Then this fuckstick comes along and writes such an obvious piece of linkbait, lacking in any form of journalistic merit, that I get Actually Live Angry Out Loud. Shame on the BBC for publishing such a sheer unadulterated piece of self-serving propaganda.
