Because they are all good points?

[citation][nom]JMcEntegart[/nom]I do work from home. I get away with a lot of things, but my cat has an attraction for bare skin and would flay me if I didn't wear trousers. I don't need (or want) an iMac. You can put anything in Irish breakfast tea (Earl Gray is muck) and Irish coffee isn't really coffee once you put the whiskey in.citation]

Okay, fair enough. I don't know much about tea ; not enough caffeine in that anyway. But can't you buy your cat one of those tree things it can canibalize instead of you? Perhaps with the money you don't need on the imac after all.

Nice April fools article. I do like the "invest heavily into a Mac, and then toss it out" line. It just needed to be shortened like I did and take the comma out.

I love all the people that really think this is hilarious.

"Yeah, I've never heard any of these complaints about Apple before! Very original! Great ideas!!11! Lol lol!!"

Pure comedy.

Sorry but though the post is written close to the "parody humour guidelines" I can't say it's really funny even if it's true. On the other hand I hope Micro$oft won't pick up pieces of this article as "3rd party proof&support" ;] Now that would be funny as HELL :D

What? Someone finally writes the truth about Apple and people think it's a joke? Damn! Apple is brainwashing us all! :)
Just as someone already said : joke or not this is one (true) good article.

Da chicks cant stand when resolution or frame rate have to drop - trust me I know this from experience, and yes i'm sure it was those things.

[citation][nom]deltatux[/nom]What's with the Apple centric April Fool's jokes?[/citation]

We're poking fun at the fact that anytime we report anything to do with Apple we get stick over it. :p

Got me on the intro paragraph but those "reasons" make no sense and easy to see the April Fools part. These should get some converts to the PC camp...

Maybe you shouldn't have been quite so over-the-top with this one.

You almost had me for sec..........ahhh, who am I fooling? NO, you didn't!

Good for a laugh though. I think you hit every one of Apple's marketing points. Even last one is something you hear put forward by the Mac lemmings (higher cost = exclusivity and prestige = coolness).
