I am MacLovin

The Macalope doesn't really have a lot to add to the discussion going on over Tom Krazit's piece entitled Why do Apple customers care so much? -- Tom hits an even tone on an incendiary subject that's reached a crossroads of sorts -- other than to make two points.

First, it's fair to say that if one liked anything quite a bit -- chocolate, sex, liquor, sex with multiple partners, sex with multiple partners that included chocolate and liquor -- one might be inclined to promote that thing to others and not understand why others insist that that thing sucks, particularly when most of them have not even tried it and/or know little about it.

Second, it's an interesting statistical anecdote that while the Mac inspired a 13-year-old to shave an Apple logo into his hair, it was the Zune that inspired this dude.

So...

You know...

Let's not make too big a deal out of it.

Speaking of the Zune, I have to admit, the new model is pretty cool. I didn't expect to like it, and I think it's a little flawed, but my friend let me play with his the other day and I was surprised at just how good it is. Certainly no iPod, but it's no Zune, either.

Like all devices in that order of things, the longer they're out, the more kinks they can work out of them. Yes, like a wadded up bedsheet, the original Zune was full of kinks and wrinkles. They've shaken them out...but they still remain, IMO.
