Great piece!

I think the moment I realized I hate Apple is when they announced the iPad. Looked up the quote just now:

"Everybody uses a laptop and a smartphone. And the question has arisen lately, is there room for a third category of device in the middle?"

I'm like, no not everybody uses a laptop and a smartphone, and no one is asking if there's room for a device in the middle. It's just you asking how you can create artificial demand for a product that will make you more money.

I don't begrudge anybody trying to make a profit. I just hate when they get preachy about it, as if you're morally superior for buying a bunch of shiny useless crap.
