Yep, it's a thinly veiled crusade and make no mistake,.
Christ, if Apple's traditionally understated marketing is ''high fiving whooping culture' then gawd knows what the Ed thinks of most US marketing, particularly in the technology arena. I mean, think of MS's own Steve Ballmer bellowing to a developer's conference and making himself breathless through a daft dance.
Wouldn't surprise me if this was an inititative of the marketing agency working for Apple/Orange rather than something centrally organised.

Don't try and put words in my mouth because it's getting really tiresome now, even if you are 'joking'.It's Apple you despise not the iPhone
I know there's some Apple fans out there who can't bear to hear any criticism about the company, but some of their practices are far worse than their rivals and are valid topics of discussion and criticism. I'd suspect that it it was Microsoft employing some of their practices, you'd be the first to criticise them. And rightly so.
I've always been very fair with my comments about Apple products - do a search though these boards and you'll see I've often praised them. Just like I praised the iPhone in my last post (I think it's fair to call a second-gen phone that still can't do cut and paste, video or MMS 'flawed').
You what? There's no other company I can think of that has public countdowns outside the store for its product launches and instructs its staff to wildly whoop, clap and high five customers.
But seeing as you're insisting they're not as bad as some companies, perhaps you could give me some examples of consumer technology launches that have even more cringeworthy circuses going on?
Oh, and what Steve Ballmer gets us to at industry fairs is pretty much irrelevant.

I was voicing my opinion not putting words in your mouth.

I know you love Apple, but come on - if this was any other company, you'd be rightfully ripping the fucking piss out of them:
And it gets even more embarrassing:

Then your opinion is ill-informed.

No, it's a lie. I don't "hate" Apple.It's still an opinion though. Which I am entitled to thankyou very much
editor

OK. You hate half of the posters on urban75.
I'm not going to back that up with anything of course, but that's my opinion and I'll start repeating it around here.
And if you protest about it being inaccurate and misrepresenting your opinion, then you're being 'tetchy'.
There. How do you like that?
It's a shame you can't be arsed to actually argue the points about the iPhone's marketing being discussed here, but there you go.

65 people viewing this forum, more than General... what's so interesting?
The Editor banging on about Apple tends to put me into a spaced out trance, perhaps it's had the same effect on them?

I don't like people posting up lies about me. It's that simple. Get it?
It's also known as an ad hominem, so have you an opinion about Apple's cringeworthy in-store launches or not?

He doesn't!
But you're entitled to your opinion
You're wrong! And you're not entitled to an informed opinion!

I've never actually seen one, I've seen some posts about them. Think it's a bit silly if that is what goes on but hey ho, as long as they enjoy it eh?

Lies! You still don't understand, it's not good enough until you reach my unwritten criteria!

It is not an inormed opinion it is a lie. A nasty bare faced lie.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but seeing as it seems a sensible discussion is now impossible here, I may as well add mine and give up on this thread: You're acting like a shit-stirring twat, firky's being an attention seeking dickhead (again) and Kanda's proved what a sad Apple fanboy he is.You're wrong! And you're not entitled to an informed opinion!
Well done lads. One thread ruined!

That's my opinion after you rushed out to buy BOTH phones. Live with it.
LOL.
*byeeee!
I thought you didn't mind Apple products only hated the way tehy're marketed, so why are you using buying one as a slur?

Er, I'm just having a joke with Kanda (I believe we've done that once or twice on here before). Would you prefer we just hurled nasty unprovoked insults at each other thus increasing your modding interventions?
How about an opinion on how you're now acting?
This thread isn't really the most serious or important one around so a little humour won't harm it if you ask me...
