Sorry you feel that way. I don't agree that this is no longer a good place. I think there's a lot of great people - and yes - there's a lot of noise perpetuated by people in general - both those who are fans of Apple and those of other tech. Ultimately though - this site would be very boring if everyone just praised Apple. And while I am sure there are people who "only" own Apple products. I imagine there's a lot of people who own some or a lot of Apple tech but also others and everyone should be welcome to post here.
Got a tip for us?

You can't forget something you never knew. Genuine monopolies rarely exist, but many other forms of anticompetitive behaviors often do. It should be a dead giveaway that the competition protection regulations are not called antimonopoly laws, they are called antitrust laws.
Holly crap the EU are dumber than a bag of hammers. They really think that Apple is unique in those regards? Talk to Coca Cola, Pepsi, Unilever or any of the major labels that sell to supermarkets regarding discounts and conditions that their products are put in prime locations. Heck, I remember when I signed up to a distributor back when I sold computer parts I was required to buy at least $20,000 of merchandise off the distributor per month to maintain my account with them. Such contracts aren't new - but of course with the EU in its financial straights (caused by their own stupid policies) they're now eyeing up Apple's $140billion cash pile in a hope that they can pillage it.
Awesome. Your prize is on its way. By the way, it is "You are pretty sad" and not "Your pretty sad".
It was a quick reply so I did not bother adding the numbers up. My mistake!

Actually, it is the spell check system on OSX that caused the error in spelling.
It should have said You're, not Your.
However that is not important is it?
You do not need any time to add up, it is easy to see within 2 seconds of glancing the screen how the total figure was reached.
Except in America it's Android markets that have the sales people in a choke hold... at least on Verizon. If you bring up the word iPhone in a verizon store every sales person cringes as if they can't stand to think not getting the sale commission I'm sure they do for Android phones that they do their best to shove down people's throats.
Same with spelling. Don't blame autocorrect for it. It is easy to see within 1 second of glancing the screen if the spelling/grammar is wrong.
Let's not escalate this.
Stating that Apple products are American. Then you make fun of others. God damn its a hillbilly whiskey tango world we live in. And the internets made it worse
