You aren't required at all to use their products, why do you care about their commercials?

It's just the guy's smug voice, and something about the commercials are annoying. Like the latest one where the guy says "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese" and it's so bad it makes me change the channel or mute it.
It got you to remember it, which is 50% of a commercial's job.

Why do I hate Apple?
Welcome to every major product ever. Pretty much anything with "Made in China" on it has similar working conditions. Apple is not alone on that.

You do realize that nearly every major hardware manufacturer does business with FoxConn.

You haven't pointed out ANY of those companies. Just Apple.

I'm serious. Like EVERY company has them manufacture components there.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I can't stand when people say that. Did you not understand? I despise their commercials. OH BUT I REMEMBER IT NOW, SO NOW I'M MORE LIKELY TO BUY! If someone remembers a commercial, it's not always positive.

I only hate companies who can't make anything new and/or sue all their competitors (I'm talking to you, Apple).


Just so you know, Samsung was found to have violated Apple's patents. A judge and jury saw fit to find for Apple.

So, if you, Spartan 4085, dislike a company, they shouldn't be allowed to defend their patents?

That's why it is only 50% of the job. The rest is to convince you to buy it. In this case, the commercial passed 50% and failed 50%.

See, this is what I am talking about. RdOG1507 hates Apple, and is so annoyed by them that he feels they should not advertise. You haven't brought up any other annoying commercials. Just Apple's.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

I don't hate a specific brand in general, but I do hate monopolies that stagnate the progress of whichever venue they do business within.

It blows my mind how everyone has an iPhone (I don't have one), considering how expensive they are and that you have to pay for the internet.

The iPhone and most other smart phones (GS3, windows phone, droid razr etc..) are the exact same price $200 with a contract or $500+ with out.. Don't get why people think iPhones are overpriced.

Also, I hate their commercials. You can tell when an Apple is commercial is on, because they always have very simple commercials - plain white background, simple, instrumental music. And the voice in the commercials always has some kind of smug voice tone, as if Apple products are better than everything ever, but he's just playing it cool.
Just proves you don't need an all out commercial to sell products, sometimes the most simple ads work the best.

I don't like how there are Apple stores. I have never seen a Microsoft or Sony store in a mall
So you don't like that Apple has a lot of stores and microsoft/sony don't? Isn't that microsofts and sonys fault for not having more stores in different places? Sorry logic just seems off on that one. It's like saying you don't like mcdonalds because they have more restaurants than carls jr.

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

I actually love Sony, so I don't know where you got that from. But anyways, I actually do hate Apple and CoD for various reasons that I would really rather not go into intensive detail, but for all I care, if the ignorant twats who don't know left from right want to have their mind sucked in to the mass brain-control that is CoD, I have no problem with it. It's just that they release the same damn thing every year and suck 60 more dollars out of your pocket. It just gets boring. But anyway, if people can't stand change and like playing the same game over and over again, they can do that.

As for Apple, I mainly hate it more out of a personal opinion. iTunes has got to be one of the worst media players in the world. 1. All of the music you download is around 120Kbps (which is horrid) 2. It takes it forever just to open 3. It crashes a lot 4. It sucks up literally 100% of my CPU whenever it's open 5. It takes up RAM like there's no tomorrow etc etc. And I don't really like the iPhone because again, they keep spitting out the same thing over and over again with little to no improvement. However, some people like the simplicity of the iPhone and there's no problem with that. It's just that I like how Android can do a million times more than the iPhone and you can pick from a much wider spectrum of phones. I like the complexity of Android. But I don't really WANT Apple to go out of business, because competition is good.

Edit: Also forgot to mention how Steve Jobs was a total dick to his employees.

I hate Sony because my Bravia started to break after 5 years. The picture is normal for about five minutes, then it starts to distort on the right side and it darkens to the point that I can't see anything.

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

I honestly don't know why, but the only company I've ever had a blinding hatred of is Apple. I don't know. You can wave Activision, EA, even Bioware in my face and I'll be able to legitimately debate why I dislike it, but the only company I want to see rot from it's core is Apple.

Apple because they push out -blam!- items, with little to no improvements for a higher price, although they are the gods of marketing, don't hate Sony, and I'm playing Call of Duty right now.

People hated Sony when they got hacked twice last year or whenever it was.

Should people not be allowed to point out things they believe to be injustices they see in the technology/computer industry if they so please? To point out what they believe is the abuse of customers' trust?

Why can't I dislike the philosophy or tactics of a company if I believe them to be unethical?

I hate Apple because of this commercial.

I dislike Call of Duty, because the past few have been huge letdowns.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I hate Halo 4 because it is more like Call of Duty. I hate Call of Duty because I don't like custom loadouts, no vehicles at spawn, and I don't like killstreaks.

I don't care for apple, or sony. In fact I like them.

I'm hated by many, but loved by none.

I have always wondered why so many people hate products and companies they are not compelled to buy.

Case in point: You see posts that show someone hating Apple so badly that they say they want to see the whole company go out of business, so they will never have to see an Apple product again. This argument also works for Infinity Ward and Call of Duty.

Why?


I get a strong opinion on comparing a product to your chosen brand, but why wish that competition to be turned out on the streets?

Are you the type of person that can't conceive of another person having a different brand preference than you?

And saying that Apple over charges makes no sense, since you aren't obligated to buy anything from Apple. So, it makes no difference how much they charge, you weren't going to give them any money anyways.

So, please explain why you hate products so much that you wish the company to go out of business.


Hipsters,
Follows,
Popularity.

Personally, I don't hate anything.

  • 12.03.2012 5:54 PM PDT

I would be mostly apathetic of Apple, except that they are carrying on a crusade to patent stuff that they didn't invent in an attempt to capitalize on the creations of other things, sue other companies into oblivion, and stifle innovation through preventing their competitors having ANY resources to make stuff.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

I do not like COD (or most modern FPS's), because it represents everything that is wrong with the gaming industry.

Why? I think it's overrated and filled with negative people and poor storytelling and repetetive gameplay.

The answer for CoD is obvious, it's beating a dead horse, soon it will be beating the skeleton.
