It is just so satisfying watching Apple's bullshit fall away to the horror of their core demographic.
They're been the brand of choice for liberals and hippies since forever, and as it turns out, they're the exact company that those groups hate.

I find their recent commercials irritating, that end with the text "Apple: Designed in California."
I get irritated because I bet their core demographic feels warm and fuzzy about that, and I don't like their core demographic feeling good about anything.
edit - I guess I am not the only person irritated by it.

Exactly my point. They are trying to sell themselves now as some sort of all-american company. Fuck them, I hate liars.
