I used to be like that.

I swore I would never be one of "those" guys.

Now? I'm one of them.
.


But I don't want to be one of them.
I know if I shoot Heroin a few times,
I'll be addicted. Why would I willingly
do that. And yes, Heroin is a brand
name and is spelled with a capital 'h'.

'From 1898 through to 1910, diacetylmorphine was marketed under the trademark name Heroin as a non-addictive morphine substitute and cough suppressant.'

Non addictive. Those were indeed the days..

That's why I treat Apple as a religion.

It is hard to believe that Apple is the most valuable corporation in the world by Market Capitalization, and has been so every quarter since 2012 first quarter (except one time when Exxon beat them).

For years and years it was Microsoft, Exxon, General Electric, and Petrochina . The remarkable thing is that Apple is now double Exxon Mobil or Microsoft.

Exxon Mobil Corp in 2009 was ranked #1 at $337 million, In 2015 it was ranked #3 at $357million
Apple Inc in 2009 was ranked #33 at $94 million, In 2015 it was ranked #1 at $725million
Google Inc in 2009 was ranked #22 at $110 million, In 2015 it was ranked #2 at $375million

It seems like Apple is more of a toy store than a company selling a fundamental requirement of modern life.

I can't imagine wanting or buying an Apple
product.

I wonder if they ever find a way to incorporate as a church and quit paying taxes altogether.

I mean, if a multibillion dollar business like college sports can be a non-profit, then why not Apple?

I got a throw away phone for voice and text. I don't know how to text on it.

I got a desktop at home.

don't really need to take the phone with me but given the reliability of my chevy, its best that I take it along.

don't got no apps. don't need no apps.

I hear there is trouble for some users in downloading the latest Revelation from the heavens (i.e. Cupertino, CA).
