Nas dude:
Reading all your other posts, I was convinced that you are just a person who blindly believes the kind of news that "sounds like it would upset what many people believe and put their faith in", and now, I still am convinced that you are delusional :)
That photo of steve jobs looking frail was posted by TmZ a TABLOID not a NEWSPAPER. If you are getting all your cock-and-bull stories from TABLOIDS and believing them to be your whacky end-of-all-humanity bs please snap out of it. Someone on reddit.com has exposed how that picture of Steve jobs is fake.
Get a life.
And to add to the general discussion here are my opinions :
Apple products have very well thought out and well designed software and hardware both. And they work seamlessly. That is because both hardware and software are managed by the same company. NO OTHER COMPANY DOES THIS. Google recently has tried with its CR-somenumber netbook (running ChromeOS) but its been off the news lately. The reason it got really popular, I believe, is because it is so damn easy and intuitive to use. Especially for people from non tech background; lets face it people, we in the tech industry might like to believe that we run the world, but its everyone else EXCEPT us who run it. Its popular with people who are not GEEKS :) AND to top things off, it is flexible enough to allow us geeks and nerds to do our stuff without the OS getting in the way too much.
Thus, you can't really hate a company like Apple for creating innovation and competetion.
That being said there are some company policies that deserve to be guillitoned. How about I buy my iProduct and 4 months later they come out with a newer better one rendering my iProduct obsolete. Or the famed Apple Tax which basically locks you down to their platform and then proceeds to buttrape you in the form of pretty nice packages and covers and tunes. Or lastly the fact that every now and then they go over-the-board with their cold war-esque patent building. This makes it harder for other devs/inventors to proceed with their ideas.
In the end it boils to the money and the time. If you have the money - buy a Mac. If you don't have the time to understand all-things-geek and not really interested in learning an OO programming construct just so you can read WSJ in a browser you just created, buy a Mac.
If you wanna tinker with the full potential of what your hardware is going to offer you, or want to know more about what makes your computer tick, DONT BUY A MAC! Get a cheap desktop and install linux. But you already knew that!
