Apple is fucking disgrace. All of the tech giants and social media are a fucking disgrace.

Why?

For the backdoors they created for N.o S.uch A.gency.

Fuck Apple

Yep, and your beloved Google / MS / Other doesn't, right? LMAO LMAO. You are fucking pathetic and so stupidly naive to think that Google / MS / Other don't sell your info and have backdoors. Hell, didn't Relient OS developers find a "backdoor" in the Galaxy line of phone and the Nexus One? Yep! They did. Wow, I wonder who uses it. Let me guess; some three letter ass hat office call the NSA.

How much do you get paid at the Apple store, MAC Genius?   Cheesy

Fuck Apple and their overpriced products

Overpriced? Yeah, right.

HTC One (M8) 32GB: $829
Samsung Galaxy S5: $649 - $749
Apple iPhone: $649 - $849 (32GB is $749 which is actually CHEAPER then HTC One M8)
Nexus 5: $450 total for a 32GB ($50 shipping. Meanwhile, Apple charges $0 for orders over $50)


Computers:

Windows PC: $799 + Blacktop Protection (consumers) + Anti-Virus (5 yrs, $200+ total) + Microsoft Office / 365 Subscription (5 yrs, $99/year $500 total) = $799 + $100 + $200 + $500 = $1599. You need to factor in Windows 9, which will undoubtedly cost $119, and then future part upgrades, which would cost at least $300. So, in total, $1599 + 119 + 200 =2018. Even if you take out the 365 subscription, the total cost over five years is $1518, give or take part upgrades, OS upgrades, and even monitor upgrades.

iMac: $1299 + AppleCare + iWork/iLife (Free) + Free OS Upgrades = $1299 + 99 = $1398.
Mac Mini: $799 + Monitor = $999, $1099 with AppleCare.

So, in reality, you actually pay more when buying a PC, albeit over five years.

A Great Time to Start Something!
Let's get the facts straight about Apple.
What are the facts?

Apple has a small/moderate market share. (small for pc's, bigger for phones)
They make huge profits since their products are much more expensive.
You get below average privacy and little control over the devices you paid big $$$ to own.
I'll pass...

The revolution will be digital
I've seen some posts (here & on reddit) which bash Apple for their Bitcoin app ban. Firstly, Apple has not banned Bitcoin. If they did, then why are "read-only" Bitcoin apps still allowed? That has no logic in it at all. Secondly, according to the Developer Guidelines, the app's content and/or service(s) must be legal everywhere the App Store serves apps. Thus:

1) Bitcoin has shady legal status in several overseas countries. India has declared Bitcoin an Ponzi scheme (yeah, right!), and others have outright banned Bitcoin. Thus, if Apple were to offer these apps in those countries, then because Apple is the world's most valuable billion dollar company category and thus, the largest then those governments have the opportunity to sue Apple.

2) The reason why Blockchain was removed is because Blockchain updated the app and provided false screen shots. Providing screen shots that do not match the app itself is against the Developer Guidelines. Another violation of the guidelines is the fact that the Blockchain's app description made no mention of the sending and receiving Bitcoin.

In conclusion, Apple is just protecting their collectively large asses from money hungry governments.

Do your basic research before posting such bullshit. When on earth India declared Bitcoin as Ponzi ? Show me an authentic source.

Leave no FUD unchallenged
I think this was the last Apple product I actually liked.  All seemed to go pretty rapidly downhill from there.

Who cares, if you use Apple products, then you hate freedom period, therefore you do not need to know why Apple banned this or that, because you already submitted to their role as your master. Apple will decide what you are allowed to see, hear and use.

I have no interest in knowing why Apple banned this or that, since I have zero Apple products and will keep it that way

You can trade Bitcoin IOUs, but not Bitcoins themselves.

Furthermore Apple allows a Ripple app for sending and receiving XRP.  The app also claims that it can be used to send and receive bitcoin, but since I don't know about Ripple very much, can somebody confirm this?
