It's up to any company to decide what it wants to charge for its products.uh, you mean apples sheeps had nothing to do w/ it?

It's up to any consumer to decide what they're willing to pay for a product.
Supply and demand. Apple charges what it does because people are willing to pay the prices. If that weren't true, Apple would have to adjust their prices so their products would sell. You may choose to call Apple customers "sheep", but it boils down to what a product is worth to the buyer. Obviously, Apple's prices are reasonable enough that millions are willing to pay them.
I know, I know. Perhaps one or two will finally "get it".Why bother explaining basic economics to school kids?
It's not really hate; the new iMac is just a rather boring incremental upgrade.
But why not bash Apple a bit? Is there a more pompous uber-rich company out there? Many of us like most of their products, and have a considerable amount invested in their software, so we are entitled to criticize, and they invite criticism (those Samsung in-line-for-iphones commercials are good examples).
And there are still a lot of Apple fans from the "think different" days who are bound to be disappointed with Apple now that they are a MS-like juggernaut of conformity. Yes, I grant you things like the iPad are good designs. But it's not revolutionary.
oh, believe me there are more reasons to call it like it is to Apple since they pay little to nothing in Income Tax. for a corporation that makes huge profits like Apple is just a sin!
(and i have always used mac and only pc for certain things or work)
I have only been an Apple user since 2009, so I consider myself a newbie. Yet I see the following unmistakable pattern surrounding every release of a new iMac:
1. For a long time prior to the release, there is vast speculation, wish-listing, and pining about "when is it coming - not soon enough?" and "should I buy - should I wait?"
2. The iMac is released.
3. Roughly half of the postings at MacRumors show great love, and "I am ordering ASAP".
4. Other have of the postings hate it, and give forth various rants, about the deficiencies.
Only after the dust settles can a consensus opinion form. At the moment I am leaning towards ordering the 2011 refurb. But will wait and see.
Your post displays a naiveté about the free enterprise system. There is no law that limits how much profit a company can make or how much income tax they can legally avoid.oh, believe me there are more reasons to call it like it is to Apple since they pay little to nothing in Income Tax. for a corporation that makes huge profits like Apple is just a sin!
Hahahahahahhahahahaahahhahahahahahah. Thanks for this. It's brilliant. You're incredibly naive for someone that claims to be old enough to work. Corporations aren't charities. You clearly should move to a communist paradise, such as North Korea. Unfortunately all of the other communist paradises have collapsed, because it's a system that only works in theory. If you're looking for charity, then you should contact the Salvation Army, or a similar organisation.

Only on the midrange and only as an option. The GPUs only have 512MB on the 21" which will be a pain for gaming going forward. Compared to the last iMac introduced 18 months ago, they are poor value, IMO. The 27" is better and will be beastly with the 680MX but it will be extremely expensive for what it is and outdated by new tech 4 or 5 months later.
There is no such thing as "one's fair share". Each person or company has the legal and moral right to pay only those taxes that they are legally required to pay. If they qualify to pay less in taxes, it is financially irresponsible to pay more.Paying one's fair share is Charity?
It's hardly outdated. Any of these iMacs will be perfectly fine to use for a long time. If you're the type to constantly chase the latest and thinks that a new graphics card is necessary every 6 months, then an all in one is not the solution.
Is it just me or do I see a big hump in the back where the stand meets the back of the computer? The edges are thing but the machine isn't thin cos it bulges which makes its real thickness not thin. The glass part is really thin but overall how can people say the computer is thin? It is a mini pyramid on it's side, like those old TV's when my grandma was growing up.

The fact remains, it's legal, whether you agree with the laws or not. If you don't like the laws, vote.Oh, u mean when some corp pay on average like 12% and some little to nothing. While the rest of average working people pay around 20-25%?
And the laws are set up that way and those groups aggressively lobby to keep them that way? Talk about clueless!
PLEASE
