Nah dude, I got your point.
What appeared to be my astonished unbelief was actually scathing, dripping sarcasm! (I know, sometimes I am too subtle!) Apple is out to make money, just like every other corporation out there, and this does not surprise me in the least.
Everyone acts like Apple is some sort of noble Robin Hood, robbing from the rich and giving to the hipsters, with no ulterior motive in mind, while Microsoft is the Sheriff of Nottingham, trying his best to keep the peasants in line.The truth is that they're both Prince John.
Whoo! More metaphors!
