Apple For Dummies

Apple has created a multibillion dollar corporation. Many people have gone out and have purchased an IPod, IPhone, IPad, or a Mac computer.  People believe that Apple is the best product out there. As the past own of 4 IPod’s and a Mac Book, I can easily say that Apple is just overrated. My first IPod failed to live through the three year warranty. Within two years and a half, my IPod played its last song and no longer turned on. I received a new one that unfortunately only lasted six months, until the hard drive gave out. Either one button or some part breaks, so clearly Apple products are not very durable. People are lucky if their product last more than two years without having to fix something. Apple has become a company that has focused on the continual sell of their products and less on the quality of their product.

 And the consumers, like good idiots, allow these billion dollar corporations to sell them an overpriced product that is not even worth the price. The consumer goes out and spends $300 to $1,000 every year or two, just on replacing their broken product. Aside from the poor quality of the Apple products, the Apple Corporation ensures that its product is constantly sold. This is done so by preventing more memory to be added to the product. If you buy an 8GB IPod, that is all you have of space, you cannot add more. If you need more space then you are forced to spend an extra hundred in order to get a 16 GB. Many products such as the Samsung Galaxy Player, allows you to add a memory card of up to 32 GB. 

So if the Apple products are not the best product out there then why does everyone buy them? Well ignorance is only part of it. Many times it is the ignorance of not wanting to buy a different product even after you know Apple is not reliable. The good idiots of this world allow these billion dollar corporations to take their hard earn money and give them a useless product. A part of the reason is that people do not care how much they spend because often times they buy those products with money from Welfare or some type of government aid. They use the taxpayers’ hard earned money to waste it on Apple products, yet that is only a small reason. The main reason people continue to buy Apple products while knowing they are unreliable, is simply arrogance. The arrogance of owning the product everyone else has. This arrogance is the need to brag to the world that they can afford to buy an Apple product. That is the reason why Apple has made so much money, because of arrogance.  

Calling For A New Pope

Pope Benedict XVI renounced his position as Pope. The search for the successor has begun. People have gone to the extreme of forming betting games in order to bet on who will be Pope Benedict’s successor. It has become the main news in almost all news channels. It has occurred to me that there are many issues surrounding us, yet we have the time to stop and focus on the new Pope. With earthquakes and the volcano that has just erupted, we have given importance to something as insignificant as who the next Pope is. America is facing one of the greatest recessions in all time. Many people are unemployed, many have lost their homes and instead of searching for a solution we are searching for the new Pope.  In the end the greatest mafia lives in the Vatican. It is the best scam ever created. With the pretext of faith they prey on the thousands of believers. The Vatican needs several hundred million dollars per year to operate. Catholics pay tithes to their local parishes and donate about $100 million every year to the Vatican itself. The city-state also gets money from books, museums, stamps, and even souvenir shops.  Vatican City also has the highest crime rate in the world, with 1.5 crimes per citizen. This is of course putting aside the Pope himself. We should be focusing on other thieves, like our President for example. After all it does not even matter who is the next Pope, just another theif to come and brainwash us to the point that we hand over our hard earned money.
