“Data-mining is no less intense on Apple products as any other. Likewise, the only reason Apple products are not hacked as much as others, is because they would rather spend their baseless lives on a larger audience.”
There are Apple haters out there (just as there are Apple lovers) and they will throw anything at the wall to try to make more haters(there are, ahem, also paid trolls in every corner of the internet). One needs only to look at Kulabd’s silly post and it’s attempt to hate(coerce). Step 1, appeal to authority (he’s an “authorized” dealer of AppleTV and Sony — consider the reality of that statement). Next, take an obvious differentiator benefit and glibly negate it (he’s “authorized” so he knows “data mining” is actually just as bad with Apple — though that’s an easily proven falsehood). Next differentiator benefit, the stellar lack of comparative malware for Apple devices. This is simply because there just isn’t enough Apple products out there to make internet bad guys take notice — that’s obviously all it is (listen to him, he’s “authorized”).
FYI,I own a Sony Bravia (see my previous posts I mention this). Great Tv and as I mentioned, good app performance so far). Sony’s app platform is Android. Huh, I guess he’s on an Apple board saying Android is best (notice it’s without mentioning Android).
A posting board is open to pretty much say what you want. So it can be a subterfuge free for all. It’s important, however, for others to point it out and drive axe grinders/paid trolls to their next screen name and new attempts to appeal to authority et al. The last one was a pretty text book but amateur attempt.
